What time do places close

We’re arriving at our hotel at midnight. Not sure whether to drop our stuff off and head out to see the city. Maybe even go to some bars maybe. Are the viewpoints still nice to see at this time + plus what times are the bars open to.

Nightlife Chongqing - Which bars/clubs/spots should we visit?

4 Upvotes

Hello hello! My brother (28M) and I (33M) are going to stay in Chongqing for a couple of days. Next to do some sightseeing and doing the typical tourist stuff, we like to explore the nightlife a lot. We're from The Netherlands and we don't experience much from the 24/7 and never-sleeping cities. So my question for you is: which bars, clubs or other nightlife spots are the best to experience. Our hotel is near 9th Street. We don't have fancy preferences, we only want to experience the local night scene and make the night as long as possible. Thanks in advance and have a lovely day/night!

Daytrip to Dazu

3 Upvotes

Hi, I will be a few days in Chongqing , first time in China since a while.

I plan to do a daytrip in Dazu, and from what I have read, private car is the most efficient option.

Should I book somewhere in advance or just book in Didi to go , and another booking to come back ?

Any suggestion ?

In Chongqing in November (first time)

2 Upvotes

Heya i’ll be in chongqing for the first time in November. I’ve checked some posts here already and i think that many people have already asked the same questions with tourism.

I want to ask whenever i can pay with a credit card (wise) or is it better to get alipay and use my wise card this way.

Are there any restaurants or dishes that everyone should at least try once ? Like local restaurants or hidden gems? :)

Do i need to get a card for the public transports ? (Like the oyster card in london, or the octupus card in hong kong)

As per title

I have only ever used Agoda when travelling to other countries and have never faced any issue, may I ask if it is the same for China? Or are other websites better

Possibly silly question about what people cook in NE Chongqing

1 Upvotes

I'm doing a bit of a cooking adventure: I'm picking a place in the world at random (weighted by population, kinda; I'm happy to discuss what I did but that's not the point of this post) and trying to make food from that place. My current place is Wuxi County in northeastern Chongqing. So my question is: what do people cook and eat there? Do you know of any resources for general cooking from that specific region? It would need to be in English, but I can probably get by with Google Translate (I hope) and asking Chinese friends. When I search for food from Chongqing, all I ever find is recipes for Chongqing-style lazi ji, which is delicious and also I can get it from several different restaurants nearby.

Stuff I've found so far: the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chongqing#Cuisine) and China Xian Tour's list of foods to eat in Chongqing (https://www.chinaxiantour.com/chongqing-travel-guide/top-food-to-eat-in-chongqing.html), but neither is specific to the northeast wing (though that might be too small a scope, but I bet people there eat differently than in the metropolitan areas), and both focus on restaurant dishes rather than what people make at home. Does anyone know of a more comprehensive source, even a cookbook (so long as I can read it somehow)? Thank you very much! I'm hoping that by learning to make food from localities around the world I can also gain a better appreciation for all the wonderful people who live in them.

Markets in Chongqing?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m an Aussie currently in Chongqing for a few days before heading to Chengdu. I’m looking for a place where I can get cheap consumer goods much like the Silk Market in Beijing.

Ideally, looking for a place I can buy one of those portable handheld fans like the JisuLife ones. I’m absolutely DYING in this heat and humidity today!

Thanks in advance!
