Tea, Trails & Twinkling Nights in Chongqing!

✨ Just wrapped up an unforgettable summer escape in Chongqing! #summervacay From the nostalgic charm of Ciqikou Ancient Town to the buzzing, high-energy heart of this incredible mountain city, Chongqing had something for everyone. Strolling through the rebuilt alleys of Shibati was like stepping back in time — full of local flavour, retro vibes, and steep stairways that echoed the city’s rugged soul. One of the most memorable (and challenging!) climbs was from Longmenhao to Xiaohaoli, where peaceful tea houses offered a quiet escape from the city’s steep slopes and urban rush. The stairs were no joke 😅 but the views and calm vibes made it all worth it. Evenings were pure magic — from scenic night cruises along the river past the glowing Hongyadong, to winding down at Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, surrounded by dazzling lights and vibrant street life. And of course, Pei Jie Hot Pot was a spicy must-try — bold, fiery, and worth every bit of the cross-city journey 🔥🍲 📍Chongqing, China #mountaincity #nightcruise #familytrip #chongqingdiaries #peijiehotpot #xiaohaoli #longmenhao #shibati #jiefangbei #citylights #culturetrip
