The Yuzhong peninsula is the very centre of Chongqing, sandwiched by Jialing River and Yangtze River.
It is divided into upper town and lower town. Upper town is the core area, at the top of hills. Lower town is at the northern bank of Yangtze River, is mostly shabby and dirty old streets, under massive urban redevelopment.
After settling down, I went out for my dinner.
Chongqing special, 串串香，literally stick stick good smell, 40 cent a stick, no matter it is meat or vegetable.
The hot pot itself is free, as long as you order all spicy soup. But if u need half spicy half not spicy, 20yuan. This rule applies to almost every restaurant in Chongqing.
(that's something really weird to Chinese outside Chongqing)
My hotel is just at the very centre of Chongqing, Liberation Monument, at the upper town, which is in memory of the victory of WWII, built in 1947.
Pedestrian street in front of Liberation Monument
It is said that around Liberation Monument, you can see the most beautiful Chongqing girls.
Exactly! They are everywhere. From my perspective, they are the most beautiful in China and very independent.
From Liberation Monument, walk north for 500 metre, there is famous Hongyadong, at the southern bank of Jialing River. It was rebuilt by a local hot port company from a slum at he original city wall. All buildings are traditional Chongqing style stilted houses. The 1st floor is by the riverbank, the highest floor is linked to the upper town. You can buy local specialty, and of course have some drinks or have spicy hot port, enjoying the awesome luminous views. Hongyadong is a must -see attraction in Chongqing.
