💡 Blogger Tips
Shoes: Definitely wear the most comfortable flat shoes! High heels are “weapons” in Chongqing.
Navigation: Don’t fully trust the straight-line distance on your phone’s navigation; 500 meters might take half an hour. Asking locals is more reliable!
Stomach: Prepare stomach medicine, hotpot is great but don’t overdo it~
Cableway: Buy tickets for the Yangtze River Cableway online in advance to avoid queues, just try it once, don’t expect too much.
That’s all for this guide! Wish everyone a happy and satisfying trip in Chongqing! Remember to take beautiful photos~ 💖
