Chongqing
21.02.2011
There is little to say about Chongqing. The only thing of note is that besides the fact you have probably never heard of it, it is one of the biggest cities in the world. Including the connected towns it now forms one large city of 23 million. Yet despite this it has no redeeming features or anything going for it. A few people go there to get river cruises for the Yangtze, but other than that it was dull grey hilly mass of skyscrapers.
However to make locals and tourists actually take pictures literally all the town is lit up at night. From trees on footpaths to massive skyscrapers. It does look good at night all lit up, but so does Hong Kong and Shanghai and they are actually cities with something going for them.
The best part about Chongqing was the random cable car which goes in between the skyscrapers and over the river. It gives you a unique view of things.
A personal highlight for us was getting a cheap flight to Shanghai and Korea. haha
