Come with me to see how far I get with £100 In Chonqing China's CyberPunk city.
RiskyRegg dives headfirst into Chongqing, China's cyberpunk metropolis, armed with just £100 and a mission to see how far it takes him. The video opens with the traveler marveling at the city's surreal architecture, where trains slice through apartment buildings and what appears to be the ground floor can actually be the 34th floor. This disorienting verticality sets the stage for a whirlwind tour of one of China's most futuristic cities.<br><br>After a messy first night, RiskyRegg breaks down the currency exchange (10 yuan equals £1), and begins his challenge with a cheap taxi ride costing just 50p. His first stop is a local food stall where he buys a mysterious rice cake for 4 yuan, charming the vendor who speaks excellent English and even invites him to a night boat show. The traveler's honesty about his struggles with WeChat and Alipay is refreshing, especially when he compares it to trying to chat up girls at a club the night before.<br><br>The highlight comes at the famous train-through-building spot, where RiskyRegg captures the iconic moment with a local photographer for just £3. He then attempts to visit the world's longest escalator, discovering it's actually a series of steep escalators that descends into a massive construction site. The traveler's fear of heights adds genuine tension to these scenes.<br><br>His food quest becomes increasingly comedic as he navigates a massive night market, rejecting everything from rabbit and dog to mysterious meat on sticks. He eventually settles on a fruit and rice pudding concoction, proving that sometimes the simplest options are the best. The evening culminates at a stock market-themed beer bar, where the price of beer fluctuates based on demand. Here, RiskyRegg meets a fellow traveler who has just lost his iPhone, leading to a desperate search through the mall's toilets.<br><br>The final tally shocks everyone: after a full day of taxis, food, drinks, and experiences, RiskyRegg has spent only £25 of his £100 budget. The video concludes with him reflecting on how affordable Chongqing truly is, especially the £35-a-night hotel with stunning views, and he promises more crazy content from China.
RiskyRegg takes on the ultimate challenge in Chongqing: spending just £100 in China's most futuristic city. From mind-bending architecture where trains slice through apartment buildings to sprawling night markets, every moment is a sensory overload. Watch as he navigates dizzying vertical streets, samples bizarre street foods, and discovers that being a foreigner here comes with its own surreal adventures. The real kicker?

The way the city is built on different levels. You think you're on the ground floor, but you could be on the 34th floor, and trains literally go through apartment buildings.
How much money did you spend in total?
I only spent about £25 of my £100 budget! That covered taxis, food, drinks, and experiences. The city is incredibly affordable.
What was the best food you ate?
The rice pudding with watermelon and those little balls was surprisingly good. Simple fruit and rice dishes are often the safest bets when you can't read the menu.
Is it easy to get around without speaking Chinese?
It can be tricky because everyone speaks to you in Chinese assuming you understand. But Alipay is a lifesaver for taxis, payments, and even chatting with locals through translation features.
