About Discover Chongqing

Hi, I'm a local living in Chongqing, China �� and I run this site to help travelers discover the real city.

I created Discover Chongqing to help foreign travelers explore this incredible city like a local. Not the "top 10 tourist spots" version �� but the real Chongqing: the hidden noodle shops, the secret rooftop bars, how to visit Hongya Cave (without the crowds).

Why Trust Me?

• I live here �� I know which "authentic" hotpot joints are actually tourist traps
• I speak English and Chinese �� I can read the local reviews you can't
• I update this site regularly �� no outdated travel guides here

What You'll Find Here

Food Guides �� where to eat, what to order, and how to survive the spice

Transportation Tips �� how to use the metro, Didi, and why Google Maps doesn't work here

Where to Stay �� honest hotel recommendations

Hidden Gems �� places that aren't in the guidebooks yet
