Chongqing has no flat land, but it has tranquility

After visiting the Mountain City Trail in Chongqing, I realized that navigating this city's 'up and down' truly relies on your own two feet. Climbing slopes, turning corners, and descending stairs, I unknowingly stepped into the daily life of old Chongqing. Sometimes, the rich aroma of spicy hot pot wafts through the air; other times, an aunt greets me while hanging clothes at the alley corner. Walking from Mountain City Alley to Tongyuan Gate, sweating and marveling along the way, I realized that 'Mountain City' is not just about the terrain—it's a way of life. It’s not exactly easy, but finishing the walk left a deep impression. This layered sense of the city is something no other place can replicate.
