2. Recommended Chongqing Cuisine
Chongqing hotpot is a must-try, full of spicy flavor, especially the red broth hotpot. You can try well-known local hotpot restaurants like Laozao Hotpot. Chongqing noodles, sour and spicy noodles, and skewers are also delicious treats not to be missed.

I recommend staying at Guandi Qingju Hotel Chongqing People’s Auditorium Branch. The hotel has an excellent location, within walking distance to the light rail station, making it convenient to reach major attractions in Chongqing. The rooms are stylishly designed with five-star quality bedding, and smart curtains offer a modern comfortable experience.
