This trip to Chongqing is mainly about exploring the human story of the old city. I chose FunGee Joyful River View Hotel (Chongqing Hongyadong Liberation Monument Pedestrian Street Store) as a stop. Choosing this place is actually very simple: the location is super beautiful! You can see the night view of Jialing River from the window. It is a five-minute walk from Hongya Cave and Liberation Monument Pedestrian Street.
Speaking of hotel location, FunGee Joyful River View Hotel is located on the 21st floor of Binjiang Road, Goldman Sachs Creative Wealth Center C Building.
The biggest advantage of the hotel is that the hygiene and service are done well, the rooms are cleaned every day, the staff arrive at a call, very attentive and humane enough. Smart facilities are quite courteous. The most interesting thing is that they will distribute good night congee every night. There is also free laundry and drying services, which is super useful for traveling for many days, so you don't have to worry about the smelly clothes.
If you are heavy breakfast, every morning will make freshly cooked Chongqing noodles, until 1 pm, not afraid of getting up late, can not eat local authentic breakfast; guests can also self-service to get some fresh fruit, milk, CP value is high.
Roughly quite comfortable to stay, the only small group of guests have suggested soundproofing can be improved, room type specifications sometimes differ with promotional details, it is best to confirm the room dimensions and views when booking.
After introducing the hotel, I would also like to share with you the culture and food tips near Hao Li and Long Mon Hao. Longmen Hao used to be an important pier for Chongqing water transportation, and still retains many original old town alleys. It is recommended to walk in the evening and dusk. The twenty Bee Alley narrow streets are all old-style patios, red brick walls, many coffee shops and taverns, and characteristic Sichuan snacks. Shimohori is super popular for taking pictures, with hipster markets and historical buildings. It's not difficult to take pictures or find hidden delicacies to see the night view and feel the unique slopes and alleys of Chongqing's mountain city.
For food, you must try various street skewers, Chongqing sour and spicy noodles, and handmade ice powder and bean curd to relieve spicy. There are a line of food shops downstairs and at the entrance of the hotel, so you don't have to worry about starving.
Finally, the booking suggestion, Chongqing peak season is extremely crowded, especially Hongya Cave area over the holidays, it is recommended to lock the river view room online in advance, before checking in proactively contact the hotel to confirm the room type and view, any questions can request room change. The temperature difference in Chongqing is big at night. Remember to bring a thin jacket, and because the terrain has many slopes and stairs, it is best to choose more comfortable shoes. The hotel has many smart facilities, and the elderly or unfamiliar with technology must not be afraid of staff assistance.
If you are looking for a downtown location, beautiful night view, courteous service and not too luxurious, FunGee Joyful River View Hotel is one of the first choices, recommended by family and friends. If you want to deeply feel the hipster people of Chongqing's old town, and easily capture the major attractions, this place is definitely worth a try. #Chongqing Culture #Hongyadong Hotel #Longmenhao Photo #Xiahaoli Food #River View Room First Choice
