Ciqikou is an old town which has now turned into a tourist spot. The street is full of shops lining at both sides selling all sorts of things from handicraft, souvenir, food to ear cleaning service. You can actually spend a whole day here if you are looking for things to shop. Just stop at each shop and savor the goodies sample, drink tea at some tea houses, pamper your ear by allowing the expert to clean it for you. Highly recommended for shoppers alike.

This area is actually beautiful in its own way. You have the museum on the one side and the Assembly hall on the other side and all the while you are surrounded by wonderful people trying to relax and soak up some culture which you do not see often in China.

Where the Jiling and Yangzi rivers meet, one a brown colour and the other green. Also the area where all the river cruises leave from. Can see the concert hall across the river. Of a night is also good to see all the lights CQ is known for.

We hit this attraction during National Week at night so it was very busy. You are surrounded by restaurants, souvenir shops, food stalls and some of the most picturesque views in the city. We thought the crowds were a bit much at the beginning but found some areas were quite secluded and quiet. It is a steep area so bring good shows so you can walk up/down.

We thought this would be a quick in and out trip but we spent a lot more time than we had planned to. There are some really nice malls, bookstores and museums in the area. We stocked up on snacks at the Ole supermarket, visited the Chongqing Art Museum for free and got lots of pictures of the interesting architecture.

If you can handle spicy food, there are tons of stalls in this area. They have a lot of authentic Chongqing/Sichuan cuisine that you can try for very cheap. Most things are $2-4 each and sharable. Just go to the stalls with people lining up, and you won't go wrong. The only thing is, most things are spicy, so if you can't handle spicy food, I would not recommend it.

Our kindergarten took a trip to the museum and I went along to chaperone. Very glad I did as the museum was wonderful. Covering prehistoric paleontology, ancient Chinese history, the Sino-Japan war as well as other great parts of Chinese history, this museum is a must for all visitors to Chongqing.
