Chongqing Exploration: Hongya Cave & Unexpected Discoveries
SHOCKED by this crazy city in China (FIRST TIME IN CHONGQING) π¨π³
Destination:ChinaCity:ChongqingPopulation:32 million 
Our first time in Chongqing, China! This is the largest city in the world! And it is a cyberpunk city...very trippy even. We stayed at Jiafengbei, near Liberty Square, and also a walk away from the most popular tourist attraction in Chongqing, the Hongya Cave in Hongyadong. We were shocked by Hongya Cave...a truly beautiful sight, especially at night time when all the lights shine brightly. The China we saw so far is nothing like what the western media tells us. We had an amazing first day exploring Chongqing. Check out what China is really like.
We discovered the WORST FRUIT in China (maybe the WORLD!).
Is this the 'Times Square' of Chongqing?
Accidental discovery of Hongya Cave (BEST PLACE!).
Friendly shopkeepers in Chongqing! (flower tea stall)
WHERE AM I? THIS PLACE IS AWESOME
WAIT! SOMEHOW IT GOT BETTER AT NIGHT, OMGOSH!!
In Chongqing they drink BEER from a BOWL!
