Chongqing

Chongqing, China

A city built up a mountainside so steep that some neighbourhoods need an escalator instead of a road, hotpot so fiery the local version comes with a mandatory warning, and a river confluence lit up at night into one of the most photographed skylines in the country.

The best time to visit Chongqing is Oct–Nov, Mar–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 22°C (72°F).
