My Chongqing adventure began with a DIDI ride from the Chongqing West Railway Station, showcasing the city's vibrant energy. I checked into a surprisingly comfortable $100 hotel and enjoyed a complimentary Chinese Afternoon tea. As evening approached, I was captivated by Chongqing's stunning cityscape. I sampled local juice near the Chaotianmen Bridge before embarking on a culinary quest. The highlight? A three-hour wait for the spiciest hotpot I've ever experienced at Beibuyuan Lao Huoguo (Tieyadong store). It was an unforgettable meal, a true testament to Chongqing's culinary scene.
