Join us on an incredible journey through Chongqing, China, as we uncover the city's unexpected wonders and hidden gems! From witnessing a train that goes through a building to exploring the second-longest escalator in Asia, this vlog is filled with surprises at every turn.

We start our day in Chongqing with an unbelievable sight - a train that runs right through a residential building! The innovative engineering marvel leaves us in awe as we discover the silent and efficient monorail system that has become a tourist attraction in its own right.

Next, we venture to Testbed2, a cultural centre brimming with art and creativity. We get hands-on with traditional Chinese printing techniques and make our wishes at a unique art installation. The blend of modern and traditional elements showcases the city's dynamic cultural scene.

Our exploration continues at a local market where we indulge in the flavours of Chongqing, and Sophia gets a temporary air tattoo, adding a personal touch to our adventure. We even try our luck at a shooting game, winning a cute prize that brings a smile to our faces.

As we dive deeper into the city, we visit the People's Great Hall of Chongqing, an impressive government building where important decisions are made. The grandeur of the concert hall inside leaves us speechless, highlighting the city's respect for art and governance.

Our day ends with a serene flag-lowering ceremony, a moment of reflection on the day's experiences and the country's traditions. From the bustling streets to the quiet moments of the ceremony, this vlog captures the essence of a city that's full of surprises and rich in culture.
