A Foodie's Guide to Chongqing: Two Days of Non-Stop Fun!

We recommend staying near Jiefangbei in Yuzhong District. It's convenient to get around, and the area is packed with delicious food, so you can start your culinary adventure right outside your door. Day 1 In the morning, head to Jiefangbei to experience the bustling atmosphere of Chongqing and take some photos. Then, indulge in the culinary delights of Bayi Road Food Street. Don't miss the Suan La Fen (Sour and Spicy Noodle Soup)—it's smooth, chewy, and bursting with flavor. And be sure to try the Shancheng Small Tangyuan (Glutinous Rice Balls)—they're soft, glutinous, and sweet. In the afternoon, take a ride on the Yangtze River Cableway and enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river. In the evening, visit a hotpot restaurant on Nanshan Mountain. Enjoy the breathtaking night view of the mountain city while savoring spicy hotpot with tripe and duck intestines. Day 2 In the morning, go to Liziba and witness the spectacular sight of the light rail passing through a building. For lunch, have Mao Xue Wang (Duck Blood and Offal Hotpot) nearby. It's a large bowl filled with tender duck blood and crispy tripe. In the afternoon, visit Hongya Cave. During the day, admire the unique stilt houses, and at night, be mesmerized by the illuminated wonderland. When you're tired from exploring, treat yourself to a bowl of Bingfen (Ice Jelly). Served with brown sugar, glutinous rice cakes, and crushed peanuts, it's a refreshing and delicious way to cool down from the spice. Transportation The subway is the preferred mode of transportation. Download the "Yu Chang Xing" app for easy QR code payments. The bus is also a good option, allowing you to enjoy the scenery along the way. For longer distances, taxis are convenient and efficient, ensuring you can easily navigate Chongqing.
