It's only our first day and we think ChongQing might be our favorite city in China! How can you top this?!
This three-part series follows Pati and Johnny as they explore Chongqing, China, a city they describe as the largest on Earth, a futuristic dreamscape, and a haven for spice lovers. Their journey begins at the Liberation Monument, the city's center, and quickly leads them to the BaiYi HaoChiJie street food market. Here, they indulge in a variety of local delicacies, including spicy tofu, sweet dumplings, and unique fruits. The market's scale and vibrancy leave a lasting impression, unlike anything they've experienced in Europe.
Next, they visit the famous BaiXiangJu, or "White Elephant," apartments, a 24-story building built on a mountain cliff without an elevator. The ingenious design features multiple exits at different levels, creating a unique architectural marvel. Pati and Johnny's exploration of the building involves an unexpected walk along a seemingly flat path that gradually ascends to a high level, highlighting the building's clever integration with the mountain's topography.
Their exploration continues to the HuGuangHuiGuan, a temple built for Emperor DaYu, a hero associated with controlling weather in the region. They pray for good weather during their trip, a humorous touch given their past experiences with rain during travels. The evening finds them back at the BaYiHaoChiJie street food market, where they enjoy a lavish dinner at a local restaurant, savoring various dishes including mapo tofu and a unique dessert of fried dough with ice cream and soybean milk. The abundance of food and the restaurant's ambiance create a memorable dining experience.
Finally, they visit the HongYa Caves, located on a bridge, which offers a stunning nighttime view that Pati and Johnny consider even more spectacular than the Bund in Shanghai. The unique architecture and ambiance leave them breathless, concluding their Chongqing adventure on a high note. Throughout their journey, Pati and Johnny's enthusiasm and keen observations capture the essence of Chongqing's unique blend of modern and traditional aspects, offering viewers a captivating glimpse into this remarkable city.
Pati and Johnny's Chongqing adventure begins at the Liberation Monument, the heart of this sprawling metropolis. Their culinary journey takes them through a massive street food market, where they sample spicy tofu and sweet dumplings. A highlight is the White Elephant Apartments, a 24-story building clinging to a mountainside, accessible via cleverly designed entrances that avoid the need for elevators. The trip culminates with a breathtaking nighttime view of the HongYa Caves, a sight they deem even more spectacular than Shanghai's Bund.
Pati and Johnny explore Chongqing's street food, marvel at the White Elephant Apartments, and are awestruck by the HongYa Caves' stunning nighttime beauty. A truly unforgettable Chinese adventure!
