Davud Akhundzada explores Chongqing, a mountainous mega-city that feels like a theme park. He starts his day early to beat crowds, using the AMap navigation app, which he says is far more precise than Google Maps, showing exact meters to stairs and traffic light seconds. He buys a cable car ticket for 30 yuan ($4.40) and appreciates that there's no foreigner pricing. While waiting for his ride, he grabs a local breakfast at a street stall with no English menu, ordering dumplings, sesame balls, and soy milk for just 14 yuan ($2). He then visits the Arhat Temple, a Buddhist site with over 500 life-sized statues, donating 100 yuan and buying a bracelet for good luck. Walking through a high-end shopping district, he notes the city's cleanliness, well-behaved crowds, and impressive infrastructure, including underground parking tunnels. He orders a coconut coffee from Luckin Coffee for 17 yuan ($2.50) and tries a Dubai chocolate for 100 yuan ($15), rating it 8.5/10. The video ends with a teaser for the cable car ride in the next episode.
In Chongqing, Davud Akhundzada discovers a city that feels like a theme park—mountainous, modern, and mind-blowing. He navigates with precise AMap, buys a $4 cable car ticket, eats a $2 local breakfast, and explores a thousand-year-old temple. The city's cleanliness, order, and lack of foreigner pricing leave him deeply impressed, challenging stereotypes about overpopulation and civic sense.
Davud explores Chongqing, a mountainous mega-city, riding cable cars, eating local street food, and visiting a thousand-year-old temple, all for under $10.
