Davud Akhundzada kicks off his Chongqing adventure from a spacious hotel room with a 180-degree panoramic view, noting the city's nickname as the 'mountain city' and its staggering population of over 30 million.<br><br>He steps out into the bustling streets during a public holiday, immediately encountering the local culture. He buys a sticky rice sandwich from a street vendor for just 44 cents using Alipay, and marvels at the trust system where vendors leave drinks out for customers to pay via QR code without supervision.<br><br>Davud then discovers a local artist painting inside glass vials, selling a piece for 100 yuan (about $15). He notes the artist doesn't pay rent, simply works next to his home, and reflects on the genuine trust he feels in China, avoiding scams.<br><br>The highlight is the famous Liziba metro station, where the train runs through a residential building. Davud captures the incredible sight of crowds gathering to watch the train emerge from the building, joking about the 'chicken or egg' question of which was built first.<br><br>He offers practical holiday travel advice: arrive early to beat crowds. Later, he samples fried dumplings for just $1.50 and navigates the metro using a QR code system that updates every minute for security.<br><br>Davud ends his journey at a local restaurant, ordering rice and meat while avoiding Chongqing's famously spicy hot pot. He pays $8.20 for the meal and notes cultural habits like littering and spitting that he finds challenging, but concludes that despite these negatives, China remains an incredible country full of adventure.
Davud Akhundzada takes us on a whirlwind tour of Chongqing, a futuristic mountain city that defies logic. From a metro train slicing through a residential building to the incredible trust system of unattended street vendors, he captures the city's chaotic energy and surprising order. His journey reveals a place where ancient resilience meets jaw-dropping innovation, leaving him—and viewers—utterly amazed.
Davud explores Chongqing's futuristic metro, crowded holiday streets, and trust-based local vendors, finding a city of stunning contrasts and resilience.
