Chongqing, you think you're on the first floor, but actually, you're on the stairs

Illusory Mountain City! Who says Chongqing is only about hotpot? This 11D magical city can even make you get lost in a bookstore! You think you're on the first floor, but actually on the 11th floor—this was the first surprise Chongqing gave me! This 3D magical city even plays tricks with bookstores. Follow my route to unlock the magical way to explore the mountain city~ 📚 Zhongshuge Bookstore (Zhongdi Plaza Branch) Address: 3rd Floor, Zhongdi Plaza, Yangjiaping Main Street Opening Hours: 10:00-21:30 This place, known as "Chongqing's Most Beautiful Bookstore," features a mirrored ceiling and staggered bookshelves, turning the bookstore into an Inception-like space! Walking to the deepest part, I realized I was actually on the 11th floor. Looking downstairs, the sign said "3F." Chongqing’s magic starts confusing you right from this bookstore~ 🏯 Huguang Guild Hall Address: No. 4, Dongshuimen Main Street, Yuzhong District Opening Hours: 9:00-17:00 After seeing modern magic, let me take you to ancient Chongqing 250 years ago. The bright yellow exterior stands out among the gray-toned buildings of the mountain city. Standing on Dongshuimen Bridge to take a panoramic shot gives a great sense of layers. I recommend coming at dusk for the best light! 🌉 Chaotianmen Raffles City Observation Deck Address: No. 8, Jiesheng Street, Yuzhong District Opening Hours: 10:00-22:00 Spend 218 yuan to unlock a new perspective of the mountain city! The crystal corridor observation deck inside the "horizontal skyscraper" lets you stand 250 meters high to see the confluence of two rivers. I suggest visiting at sunset to watch the Chaotianmen Wharf gradually light up—super dreamy~ 🍲 Food Tips: After seeing these magical buildings, remember to have a hotpot to calm your nerves! The big knife pork kidney at Brother Zhou’s Hotpot (Jiefangbei Branch) is amazing, and the tripe is freshly torn~ A reminder for out-of-towners: order mild spicy only, because Chongqing’s mild spicy equals medium spicy elsewhere. Don’t ask me how I know😭
