chongqing city

day 1: mountain city - beicang - shibati - hongyadong

- places were super crowded with people so walking was rather difficult. mountain city and shibati had super cute souvenir shops that you should definitely check out. lots of insta worthy places to take your fit pics for sure (all the girls in china are well dressed 😊) the hotpot was a humbling experience for sure … ordered a wei la but it felt like a te la. went to the opposite of hongyadong for a glimpse of the place as it was along to way back to our hotel and the amount of people there was crazy.

day 2: Liziba - guanyinqiao - 重庆光环购物公园

- liziba was cute but wasn’t super fascinating imo. went to guanyinqiao to shop and they had lots of malls nearby (one particular mall had lots of cosplayers which we didn’t know about so we were shocked) finally headed to the mall i’ve seen all over tiktok and it was really cute in person. best part about the mall was the judydoll outlet itself that had lots of discounts on their makeup!!

day 3: chongqing zoo - long men hao old street- Raffles city

- fell in love with the zoo as they had to many pandas and red pandas. price for the ticket was less than $10 sgd as they had some discount at that time. unlike jiajia or the red pandas in SG, the pandas and especially the red pandas were super active despite if drizzling alittle that day. headed to longmenhao old street which had lesser people (quite similar to shibati but less shopping) saw a cute waterfall which was a super cute spot to take pictures. went to raffles city for more shopping and the mall reminded me so much of MBS that i felt like i was back in SG for awhile 😭

day 4: wu long qu - jiafangbei - hongyadong

- wu long qu was the most magical place ever. we booked a klook tour for this. the amount of walking for the tour was insane (couldn’t feel my legs at the end of the day) but it’s definitely a must go if you visit chongqing!! headed to jiafangbei and then hongyadong for dinner

day 5: spent most of the day shopping at different malls. the first mall (IMIX, near to raffles city) was basically like a taobao mall cause i got to see the people there packaging up orders and doing those live streams which was so interesting to see. headed down to mixc which was more of the luxurious malls. ended the day at raffles city to shop for any last minute goodies before the flight the next day
