Most people in the west have not heard of Chongqing and would find it hard to grasp that it has 32 million people in its municipality! It is one of the fastest growing cities in China that has become a hub for finance, manufacturing, as well as tourism! I luckily had some friends as well as the lovely tourism board of the city to show me around, because it is definitely overwhelming on a first visit! Check out their channels down below:

this city was bombed by Japanese for six years continuously. now it's one of the most futuristic cities in the world. incredible development and amazing people. And perhaps that's why China also offered help to countries that were bombed like Laos for infrastructure... because the Chinese know the pain and how precious it is to rebuild a homeland. 🥺

You know why we Americans have never heard of it? Because the American media has been hiding the fact that China is getting more advanced in all aspects in tech, medicine, city infrastructure. The last 15 years have been incredible. Anyone who hasn't been to China in the last 15 years will not recognize many cities. It's time for Asian Americans to look in the mirror and recognize their own rich history and culture.

True. Babylon USA sucks. I only like Yank Tanks, anyway. My newest Yank Tank is the 2016 Buick Envision made in Yantai, China. My older car is a 2013 Chevrolet Impala built in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. My previous 2 other cars were built in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Some Made in China stuff are actually very good. I keep American style, but Babylon USA itself is garbage. There are other places to check out as well. I am Eurasian made from ginger ingredients.

We had a guide that showed us around. What a sweetheart. So welcoming. Great food ! Wonderful architecture ! Pedestrian friendly ! WoW!

It was generally clean, I felt safe and the food was great. The river going through the city was nice too. I was told by one of my co-workers that Chongqing was known for its beautiful women, he said ‘the most beautiful in China’.

Ah finally! Finally, the episode I have been waiting for so so much!! Ever since you mentioned in a comment that you are already in Chongqing and meeting Alex in the afternoon, I just couldn't wait for the episode to come out! Really can't express how eager I was so see you exploring Chongqing! I have lived in China for 2 years and have been to the city. But I visited the city during summer and did not enjoy much because it's incredibly hot during the day. However, it's the night view of the city that blew me off to the river. It's literally a cyberpunk city and it was overwhelming for me. Everything was so lit up, entire skyscrapers looking like a video screen! I couldn't stop looking everywhere! I was in such awe!!! Cant wait for the next episode!!! And once again, the music simply pumps up the mood and you look so gorgeous in that traditional dress! Love from India.

the concept of 'worship' in Chinese tradition is not the same as worship in Abrahamic religion, it's more to respect and unity between all beings in universe

One point about the warm water culture, it is to protect the core temperature from cold shock. The upper digestive track is in close proximity with endocrine system organs. Type 2 diabetics can be benefit from a stable core temperature.

Thanks so much for this most interesting and detailed video. Until now all I knew about Chongquin, besides its size, was that there was a large HP manufacturing plant there. And also that tall appartment building through which a metro train passes through !

I was in Chongqing 10 years ago, mainly for business. Before going I didn't know anything about this city and when we arrived with some colleagues it was a pleasant surprise. The people there were very friendly, they also invited us to Hotpot which was an interesting experience. I'm glad Alina shows us these videos of her spectacular tour of China.

Chongqing is one big megacity next to Shanghai and Beijing. Been to Chongqing a couple of times and it never fail to impress and surprise. Enjoy your stay in Chongqing Alina. It cant get any better with the support of Chongqing Tourism Board and a guide to show you around.

Lookng forward to your video with Alex Reportefy media another my favourable Vlogger., Wishing you all the best in China.
