The skywalk and old streets

Jack and Sophia Torr begin their Chongqing visit on a skywalk high above the city. They describe the height as frightening at first but exciting, and the view gives them a perspective on Chongqing's mix of modern towers and older architecture. They then explore the Old Town, whose streets offer a contrast with the skyscrapers around it. The couple later take a ferry across the Yangtze River for another view of the skyline. During the crossing, they have a spontaneous photo moment with two girls they meet on board.

Their route also includes the Chongqing Grand Theater. They admire the building's architecture without attending a performance. At night, the couple find a secret passageway by the river and watch the city lights from there. These stops give them views from above, from the water, and from the older streets.

Hot pot and city details

Food is a major part of the trip. At a Chongqing hot pot restaurant, Jack and Sophia try ox balls, ox penis, brain and stomach, describing the unusual dishes with humor. They come back for another hot pot dinner and show how diners cook their own food in the boiling broth. The Old Town is their favorite part of the visit, and they describe it as beautiful and laid-back.

The couple also notice the number of electric vehicle chargers around the city and comment that some infrastructure appears underused. Their impressions come from places they visit: the skywalk, historic streets, ferry, theater and hot pot restaurants. The day closes with a view of the illuminated city from the passageway beside the river.
