Chongqing: A vivid city with unique charm

As a Chongqing native, I can speak on the subject of every mountain and river here. Many times when someone asks me to brief the city, I can be more than happy to reel off the reasons behind its charisma. The love for the city runs deep in my blood. In the nearly 40 years since I was born, I have been witnessing Chongqing's rapid economic development and dramatic changes, but one thing remains intact-the straightforward and vigorous character of the Chongqing people. The ubiquitous street culture here endows the local food and the entire city with extreme spicy lure.

With the continuous improvement of Chongqing's comprehensive strengthen and the development in its tourism sector, more and more people come to Chongqing for sightseeing. What attracts them most in Chongqing is its unique topography and cultural customs. For people from neighboring cities, Chongqing is just a short train journey away, providing the perfect counterpoint to the peace and quiet of Southwest China's majestic and mountainous landscape.
