Chongqing's size and layered streets

PPPeter visits Chongqing and discusses its population and unusually large administrative area. The video presents the city as the biggest in the world, citing a population of 32 million, and explains that administrative changes in 1997 expanded its boundaries. Its mountainous terrain shapes roads and buildings across different levels. PPPeter and a companion get lost in a hospital while trying to work out which floor is ground level, an episode that illustrates how hard the layout can be to read. He also watches a train pass through a residential building and visits a BYD showroom, among the city's modern urban scenes.

Ear cleaning, acupressure and nightlife

PPPeter tries a traditional ear-cleaning treatment and describes it as unusual but relaxing. He then has foot acupressure, which targets pressure points and feels intense and painful to him. The practitioner shares health observations during the treatment; those comments are part of the encounter rather than a diagnosis. The traveler later goes to karaoke and experiences Chongqing nightlife, then samples rabbit head, a local food.
