Chongqing Day 1— Our Family Day Trip

#ChongqingTravel 🧭 "Chongqing Day 1" — Our style day trip We woke up early without intending to rush, but just wanted to experience the cool air of the city that they say is foggy all year round. So we started the trip by... ☁️ 08:30 – Take the "Yangtze River Cableway" cable car It feels like floating across the Yangtze River. You can see the tall buildings contrasting with the wide river, it's so... Chinese! I recommend going in the morning. The fog is thick. You can take beautiful and unique photos. 📸 Feel photo: People standing by the cable car window, seeing the fog and the river below --- 🍲 10:00 – Have brunch at "Lao Ma Hotpot" (老妈火锅) Local Mala Hotpot, eat without being fancy, but it's delicious. If you can't handle spicy, I recommend saying "少辣" (mildly spicy). You have to try the sesame sauce and chives oil! 📸 Feel photo: Boiling hot pot on a wooden table, Chinese people sitting around eating with serious but happy faces --- 🧱 12:30 – Walk around “Ciqikou Ancient Town” (磁器口古镇) A retro old town, ancient buildings, teahouses, and lots of local food If you’re lucky, you’ll see Chinese people wearing Hanfu taking pictures 📸 Feel photo: Old stone path, people holding milk tea in local cloth bags, walking through the alleys --- 🌁 15:00 – Stop by “Liziba Station”, a train that goes under a building! A highlight that is definitely unique, the elevated train goes under a building perfectly! There are beautiful photo spots, set up your camera and wait for the train to come and press the shutter 📸 Feel photo: A green and blue train rushes out of the building in the middle A full view of Chongqing's buildings in the background --- 🧋 16:30 – Take a break at “Tianfu Coffee” A chic coffee shop hidden in an old building A view of the river and the elevated train tracks passing by the shop Cappuccino + black sesame cake = the ultimate Chongqing theme 📸 Feel photo: Holding a coffee cup with a curved train track in the air --- 🌆 18:30 – Finally, “Raffles City Chongqing” A magnificent elevated shopping mall, like a giant ship on a building Going up to see the city view at night is the best! Like Blade Runner! Take a walk, eat some snacks, popcorn, or end with a sweet soup 📸 Feel photo: A view of the lights of the entire city reflecting on the river, with a glass skywalk in the background --- 🎒 Feel summary: > “Chongqing is not a city you just pass by It's like a sci-fi movie where we're really the characters, with the fog, the height, the lights, and the smell of mala... One day isn't enough, but it's enough to make your heart beat faster.” #ChongqingTravel
