I love this hot pot restaurant in Chongqing.
When I passed by White Elephant Street, I found this very down-to-earth Dong Jiaojiao Hot Pot. 🍲
As soon as I walked in, the aroma of the hot pot base was so enticing. It was rich but not greasy, definitely a blessing for hot pot lovers! ♨️
The sausage and pig's trotters are marinated by the staff every day. They are soft, chewy, and super flavorful. ~😋
There are also deep-sea prawns, 1r each, which is a great deal! I always order two big handfuls. They are fresh, chewy, and I just can't stop eating them! 🦐
The vegetable 🥦 section is very affordable, 2r-4r each, and the meat dishes start at only 10r. With these prices and this delicious food, it's definitely the king of cost performance! 💰 Another delicious meal, burp~

Transportation: Take the subway and get off at Xiaoshizi Station (Exit 7). After walking a certain distance, you will arrive at Baixiangju. Baixiangju is an old 24-story apartment complex, and surprisingly, there is no elevator in this building. Climbing up to the 24th floor via stairs is indeed challenging. However, due to its unique geographical location and architectural style, this old apartment complex has been used as a filming location for many movies and dramas.
For instance, the movie 'Better Days' was filmed here. In the movie, the protagonists Chen Nian and Xiao Bei meet in this apartment complex, walk the same paths, and see the same scenery. Therefore, for movie fans, visiting Baixiangju feels like stepping into the world of the movie and having an intimate connection with the protagonists.
In conclusion, although Baixiangju is an old apartment complex, its unique charm attracts many people. If you have special feelings for the movie 'Better Days,' visiting Baixiangju will make you feel as if you are meeting the protagonists in real life.

While ticking off the sights on a commando-style tour, don't forget to take your time and enjoy the views. It's just that Chongqing is a bit tough on the legs. The mild spiciness of Sichuan and Chongqing is something to savor🤏

These are the reasons why I love Chongqing~
The grandeur of a city nurtured by great rivers, and the everyday humanity revealed in its ordinary alleys. If you ask for a reason why I like Chongqing, this one is enough.
Sometimes I feel that Chongqing has shadows of many cities in China, perhaps just by crossing a bridge, you feel as if you've entered a completely different city. The natural geographical division of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, as well as the sky-reaching and earth-penetrating light rail, various bridges, tunnels, and air-raid shelters, further accentuate this characteristic of 'multiple urban forms', bringing the changing scenes to a climax.
So you can say Chongqing is Hong Kong, it is Bangkok, it is Changsha, and even most cities in China.

Chongqing citywalk must-visit spot | Southwest Industrial Building
The former site of the China Democratic National Construction Association.
Walking down from People's Park, I had planned to go to Baixiang Street, but I saw a distinctive building on the side of the road, which felt like some old site. A search online revealed it to be the Southwest Industrial Building, the former site of the China Democratic National Construction Association.
There are quite a few people heading there, and most of the visitors who come to look around are from out of town, but overall there are very few people. There are two floors in total, mainly featuring photos and physical objects.
The exhibition hall of the museum covers an area of 320 square meters, and right at the entrance, you can see the image wall of the five main initiators of the Democratic National Construction Association: Huang Yanpei, Hu Juewen, Zhang Naiqi, Shi Fuliang, and Sun Qimeng. These five individuals are industrialists who have made outstanding contributions to the nation.
During the war of resistance, the national industry was relocated inland, and business people in Chongqing established the Southwest Industrial Building as a permanent venue to continue the 'Star Five Dinner Meetings' from Shanghai.
On December 16, 1945, the founding meeting of the China Democratic National Construction Association was held in the Southwest Industrial Building in Chongqing, which thus became the birthplace of the association.
The exhibition revolves around three questions: 'Why was the Democratic National Construction Association established in Chongqing,' 'How was it established in Chongqing,' and 'What did it do after its establishment in Chongqing.' It is divided into three parts: 'Saving the Nation,' 'Birth of the Association,' and 'Like-mindedness,' and it realistically reflects the significant events and personal stories from the establishment of the association in Chongqing on December 16, 1945, until the founding of New China on October 1, 1949. The museum displays more than 500 photos and over 100 physical artifacts.
The exhibition hall is not very big, and it should take about 30 minutes to stroll around. If you have time, you might want to take a look. It is suggested to take the Yangtze River Cableway, come from Baixiang Residence towards Baixiang Street, and you can visit this place. The Eighteen Ladders and Mountain City Alleys are also not far, and you can plan to visit them together.
Transportation: Get off at Wanglongmen bus station (nearest), or Xiaoshizi metro station or Jiaochangkou metro station, then a 20-minute walk.
Admission: Free
Opening hours: 9 am to 5 pm (closed on Mondays)
Visiting time: 20~50 minutes

Walking along the river in Chongqing, I accidentally stumbled upon a retro block of an old dock from the past
🚶Yes, on the way to Bai Xiangju, we accidentally entered a nameless block, which is basically some old sites of Bai Xiang Street, probably the old dock in the past, located between Bai Xiangju and Bai Xiang Style Street, built along the river. Breathing the river breeze, I found a sense of peace in this world without landmarks.
—————————
Name: Bai Xiang Block
Address: Intersection of Sifang Street and Changbin Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing City, can be located to the old customs office or Qianyuan Hot Pot
Open: All day
Tickets: Free
—————————
📍A quiet road that is not necessarily accurate in positioning, but in my eyes, it is a surprising discovery.
🌟Old memories
The old sites of the customs office building, customs declaration, and Jiang Quan Tai number of dock protection buildings are still there, forming a charming long street, with a slightly low saturation color, giving people a unique charm. There are not many pedestrians on the road, but it is rare to immerse in the memories of the past.
🌟Retro river view
Interestingly, on this short hundred-meter river view road, I forgot the confusion of not finding Bai Xiangju, as if returning to the old dock, strolling by the river, blowing the river breeze, overlooking the mix of retro old buildings and beautiful river views, which will make people forget their troubles and have the illusion of traveling through the past.
🌟Slow time
Walking and stopping, taking pictures, turning back and setting off again to find Bai Xiangju, the journey is not far, but it feels not so rushed, time can slow down, just like this inconspicuous road, slow time, bathed in daylight.
🚶Just like this is a beautiful mistake, I gained a different encounter in the journey. Worth going.
