Ultimate Chongqing Guide

€18.00

Launched April 2026

Chongqing is not just another Chinese city. It's one of the most distinct, layered, and genuinely surprising places you'll ever visit - a mountain city built by river workers, shaped by war, and recently discovered by the rest of the world through a viral video of a metro passing through an apartment building.

This guide goes beyond the highlights reel. It's built on months of local research, dozens of traveler interviews, and a lifetime of growing up here; written for the curious traveler who wants to experience the city the way locals actually live it.
