Having traveled to five continents and visited almost all large cities in the world, I can responsibly say that Chongqing's landscape, cityscape, urban vibes, and the blending of past and future is unparalleled by any other large cities in the world. The city's Verticality is utterly unbeatable comparing other mega cities built on boring flat landscapes. These include New York, Chicago, Paris, London, Berlin, Tokyo, Shanghai, you name it.

The glutinous rice balls with sesame paste is called Tang Yuan. Sometimes they put crushed peanuts as filling and sweet/ ginger soup base. It’s usually eaten during the Chinese lantern festival but still we can eat it at any time of the year.

It is a big fan and 10 yuan is not expensive. If it is busy, it is likely a good restaurant. Chongqing is significantly more affordable than Beijing and Shanghai. 8.1 Road Food Street is definitely the right place to go. Chongqing is one of the Internet celebrity cities, and people from all around China are pouring into the city all the time.

It‘s called "Tang yuan" or "Yuan xiao" in chinese."Tang yuan" is translate to "sweet soup balls" which is not that accurate in english.Even we have a festival called "The chinese Lantern Festival" which is at the 15th of the first lunar month.we usually eat "tangyuan" at that day.
@helenyu-d5uАй бұрын
At 6 minutes, the price of the fan is 10 yuan. The pronunciation of number 10 in local dialect is "si", which sounds similar to "six" - number 6 in English. That might've caused confusions, and that's why the seller was requesting 4 more yuan after receiving 6 yuan.

The last thing you didn't buy that odds are it's braised pork intestines, great tasting local food that's very well known on the internet. But it has broad beans in it. In Chongqing, basically 95% of all food is made with bean paste made from fava beans, and bean paste is a major component of Sichuan cuisine - basically anything that looks red, probably has bean paste in it. If Julia might be allergic, my advice would be to copy this word and tell them:/ "我吃了蚕豆会过敏,我吃了蚕豆会死." /

I was there last October. Unlike other mega cities in the world that are built on boring flat plains, Chongqing is built on the slope and cliff of mountains along two large rivers and at their confluence. Because of its unique landscape, Chongqing people have developed impressive infrastructures, including tunnels, bridges, vertical public elevators, and cable cars on the slopes and across the rivers. Here are some number of their infrastructures within the city's administrative territory of the city: Bridges: 20,000+; Length of interstates: 4,000+ km; Tunnel length: 1,000+ km; Metro lines: 17; Bus lines: 300+. Chongqing is way more authentic and worth visiting than Beijing and Shanghai which is very much overrated, in my view.

19:16 The glutinous rice ball is called “tang yuan” in Chinese, and the ones with the sesame fillings are the OG flavor. These are traditional food that are typically consumed in Yuanxiao Festival (The Lantern Festival), when family members reunite and get together, so tangyuan has the connotation of reunion. Also tangyuan sounds similar to tuanyuan (reunion) in Chinese. Hope you enjoyed your Chinese trip!

That wasn’t intuition. That was ignorance and fear of asking the young people behind him to help. Not realizing that not all translation will work depending on the method and dialect. And not intuitively (or with research) understanding how best to communicate. Asking the same thing repeatedly in a language someone doesn’t understand does not help. Certain gestures and patience and asking for help do. He was impatient and didn’t ask for help. Chinese are known for helping foreigners.

These “挑挑” is a traditional type of worker you see in this region where they offer you their labor to transport your goods to places on their shoulders using a pole to balance. Chongqing is so mountainous and there’s a lot of up and down the stairs, it’s hard work. And many of those kind of elderly workers who weren’t very educated back in the poor days and some can’t even read Chinese characters.

if you need help, try to look for the younger generation. most would have studied some english at school and are a bit more in tune with modern day cultural stuff. older generation, like 40-50+ grew up in a different period in china when they were still overcoming extreme poverty in a lot of places so education levels weren't as high. just keep in mind a couple generations ago, china was like the bottom 5 poorest countries in the world on a per capita basis. so for people growing up during that period, especially in the less developed inland regions, the education and culture gap will be extreme. that seems to be the case with the street vendor at the end who might be from the countryside and just hustling where he can. also realize there are hundreds of dialects in china and each are different enough where you couldn't really understand one from another except for a few words here and there sounding similar. older and less education people from the countryside may only know their local dialect and not mandarin. they can still get by because the writing is the same, just each character is pronounced different depending on region.
