About Discover Chongqing

Hi, I'm a local living in Chongqing, China — and I built this site to help travelers discover the real city.

I created Discover Chongqing to help foreign travelers explore this incredible city like a local. Not the "top 10 tourist spots" version — but the real Chongqing: the hidden noodle shops, the secret rooftop bars, the best times to visit Hongya Cave (without the crowds).

Why Trust Me?

• I live here — I know which "authentic" hotpot joints are actually tourist traps
• I speak English and Chinese — I can read the local reviews you can't
• I update this site regularly — no outdated travel guides here
