Chongqing is a very unique city, with imperfections. for example the weather is kinda extrme here, extremely hot in Summer and freezingly cold in Winter (yet no snow for joy, sad), and in winter 80 days out of 100 it is raining or cloudy. you just don't get much sunshine after September. other than that, it is unique in terms of terrain and culture and there is a lot to discover and experience. hope you enjoy your time in Chongqing.

My great grandpa lived in Shanghai pre-ww2. Just a day before Japanese bombed Shanghai, he closed his factory and flew to Wuhan with the entire family following the National Govt. He told my mom that it was so difficult to get the air tickets at a time that he had to buy them with gold bars. One of his daughters was born on that plane. Later when Japanese attacked Wuhan, he again flew the family to Chongqing where he stayed till the end of the war. He served as the deputy director of general tax bureau of the national govt in Chongqing. Chongqing was the ww2 wartime capital of China. Due to its year-long foggy weather, theJapnaese have failed their numerous bombing attempts of the city. The exile wartime govts of Korea and Vietnam also moved to Chongqing at a time.

I love Chongqing, changes all the time, so dynamic and green

Love your style, it would be interesting to compare your experiences with your compatriots the Barretts who just visited Chongqing as well.

Oh, I'm really happy for you guys, you finally made it there. We miss the city, enjoy this magical city! :D

It is also a city where most of its inhabitants from other parts of china. Original inhabitants are very small. There are also many clan meeting places from many parts of China to visit.

After you up to 20 floor by elevator, walk out the building, then you find you are in the first floor in other building, this is Chongqing. :)

This is awesome. So glad you're into architecture and infra tours. It's super niche, so I'm glad I foud this channel :)

Nico in Chongqing fabulous.

Loved all your cool videos. That was one massive incredible city.

Great video.

重庆is 山城 means city built on mountains due its topographical landscape

Love your video

I'm so excited you're going to show Chongqing to us,.

what an amazing Architecture and Infrastructure, i could not understand how the train got into a whole big!!!!HOW DID THEY BUILD THAT ???? WAW! Million thank you Nico for the beautiful video 💝💝💝💝

Thanks for sharing a beautiful Chongqing

There's that lovely couple again giving informative and exiting facts of China.

Thank you for promoting my hometown like this. I miss the great food and grow up memory......

That is why they welcome and accept people from outside.

Love the drone shot of the train going into the apartment building.

My wife is from Chongqing. People in the west have never heard of Chongqing. It is the largest city in the world that no one has heard of. The food in Chongqing is very spicy and Hot Pot is the most popular food. You also need to try Chongqing noodles, very delicious. The people of Chongqing are very kind and hospitable. I love Chongqing!

The food is the best,just enjoy...and if you find the food is too spicy, you may drink some milk to neutralize it..^_^

I love to see more Chongqing and they're beautiful city.

i grew up there, sort of, in a county that's an hour away from the the main city. 32 million people in the whole municipality but the main city has about 12 million people living in it. Props to you guys for exploring this mountain city. Before the whole "modernization" as you mentioned, we go everywhere by bus mostly in the city, and ships and boats to the nearby counties and other cities along the rivers. and most important of all, people's own two legs, lol. you do need to climb up those steps by yourself, haha. there's a famous American in the city, Ben, who happens to own a bar called "Ben's Bar." you can go there and chat him up. i'm sure he will tell you all about the city and the people and the life he's lived there.

Beautiful city💖

I can hear you guys clear-audio and visuals.

1 and like before watch.

Been following your channel for a long long time already, bilibily or youtube, good job. And this is my first comment for you. cz... you are in my city!!!! and I SAW MY FRIEND IN THE VIDEO !!!! XD it's a bad bad time to come here, raining foging raining raining...Wettest time of a year.

Make sure you know the different in between "辣一點" and "一點辣". :) Nice video.

So nice!!!! It's like an antique city

Good job

you are artists, i love ur film

I remember making the suggestion to visit Chongqing under one of your videos. 😆. There you are. You might want to connect with some of the expats living in Chongqing. They might be able to give you better advices where to visit. One channel I saw was (Reporterfy Media & Traveling). Another British couple. And (GarceFamily4), a family with two kids from the US. Yes, you are right about few foreigners in Chongqing. Unlike in shanghai or Beijing. Especially in Shanghai, some of the bars and clubs in downtown area almost have no Asian face in there lol 😂. Have fun, enjoy your stay. I might go there again when I visit China next time.

impresssive!! chongqing was backwater city decades before,you never thoutgh that it would be developed in just a matter of years...🤗🙏🤗

Best footage is at night 😁 then also the bad weather doesn't matter

I can see how excited you are about this city😁

London is also famous for the fog, so I guess British must be interested with another famous foggy city of China, right? As you can see, Chongqing is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Jialing River, which makes it the connection point for the whole Sichuan province with the other parts of China. There has been several large-scale immigration waves into Sichuan in Chinese history, and Chongqing has always been the ideal destination. And the recent time was during World War II when Chongqing became China’s accompanying capital, and since then its population exploded. This is probably the actual need for Chongqing to build so many skyscrapers. In fact, Hongkong is also a much hilly and populated city, so the two cities shares very much similar lookings. From the introductions revealed, I guess the Chongqing series would last for a long time until 2021. You can really stay in Beijing for a long time without filming (except for Jack's huge editting work).

The city is truely cool. Payed a visit there 7 years ago. Just walking around was so fun. Best city for losing weight. You go up and down all the time.

Visited Chongqing in 1999. I liked it so much with unique mountain view and awesome food and good-looking girls

What a beautiful city...someday i would visit china.

Love Chongqing, a 5D city. My second hometown

Is Fijian on your travel list? I'd like to see my hometown. Thank you.

It’s a massive city. Every thing is huge.

It's worthy to have a taste the pepper ale flavoured beer in CQ.

I love the fact that you two talk about the city amount each other unlike other youtubers that would talk into the camera, so annoying.

welcome to my city,I want to show you around!

When I was working at an architectural practice in Manchester. Noun of my colleagues ever heard of my home town, Chongqing. So I showed some pictures of Chongqing and everybody so surprised that such a London size city they never heard of (actually much bigger than Greater London if count in the "village area" ) .

I am in Copenhagen now but Chongqing is my hometown. Due to the corona virus pandemic, I cannot come back this year. Thank you for uploading this video reminding me of how beautiful it is, definitely different from European style.

i stayed in Chongqing for two months before. i did enjoy hotpot there.hahaha btw, highly recommend a place!!!! very awesome!!!! named Tanzishi 弹子石

Sooooooooooooooooooo good view !!!!!!!!!!

And people get around and lift things using the specific labour called "Bangbang" they carry a stick around and if you pay them they will help you carry your luggage and such

Didn't get to Chongqing but loved Chengdu, was there about a month and a half in 2006. Very happy memories :-)

Visit Xinjiang or Tibet next!

You got the point about that Sichuan Pepper( we call it Huajiao, translated it as Sichuan pepper feel not so fit), before chongqing was included in Sichuan province, the food style is almost same, and as you said , people there and in Sichuan know how to use and cook that, other parts of China for using this ingredient, you always find it too much and bitter for the whole dish, making it hard to swallow! Enjoy there!

Welcome to my city..

Jack is shy and cute as always

enjoy trip 重庆👌

Welcome to Chongqing! The whole Yuzhong District is a huge adventure park with scenic walks, and of course full of businesses and people. You can experience the most authentic Chongqing culture and history here. In Nan'an District, there is a Nanbin Rd (南滨路) where you can observe the best night view of Chongqing. You can also drive to Nanshan (南山 South Mountain) to oversee the view of the whole Yuzhong District. If you feel like to do some shopping, there are a few cool areas that are not only rich in business, but also with amazing scenes of a modern city. Best visit them at night. For example Jiefangbei (解放碑 Monument of Liberation), Daping (大坪) and Guanyinqiao (观音桥). There is also a street known as the street never sleeps called Jiujie (九街 The 9th Street) in Jiangbei District. It's nothing like a red light district. Just a place that is full of pubs and restaurants and they run 24/7. Absolutely safe to roam around. These locations are all within 30mins drive if you stay at Yuzhong District and if the traffic doesn't jam. Mind you the public bikes are nowhere to be found within the city range. Best call a Didi or a taxi, or railway to get around. There are still much more to explore in metropolis Chongqing, and I haven't mentioned locations in other counties worth a visit. I guess iChongqing personnel can help you with everything else you need to know. Have a wonderful stay in Chongqing. Cheers!

I like Chongqing's food culture. Simply amazing. BTW it is really inexpensive to live in Chongqing comparing to other big cities in China.

I-Chongqing is the official tourism board as stated.

At this time westerners are quite curious about China many of them visiting every then & now that's really interested thing

I miss Chongqing so much! I wanna go back to eat hotpot 🤤

Chongqing is a modern metropolis infused with its historic legacies in a perfect balance, making it a genre of its own. And chongqingers are proud of their local culture which is why many foreigners making a living here find that they may have to learn to speak a bit Chongqing local language rather than Chinese putonghua. FYI, if my memory doesn’t fail me, I think there is a British consulate in chongqing for the entire southwest area of China.

3D city 👍👍👍

You guys look so cute together!

Is that train going through a building?

While the host is camera awkward, he is good at the choice of words. Nico can definitely use his script. lol

I was able to tell that you were not using your usual camera. Is the rental a Panasonic?

Noisy? Seems very tranquil

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

“ this laowai likes chicken stomach “ 😂

🌈👍

I love China 🇨🇳 ❤

Beautiful English accents ❤

灾难年年有，任何一国也在所难免，重要是重新的恢复时间，我相信国人有能力有信心。中国，加油。

ChongQing looks like a developing city compare to other major Chinese cities.

U two seems like singing in KTV
