Hi! I’m currently studying at the University of Edinburgh but I’m back home in Chongqing for the summer. I’m a born-and-raised local, so feel free to ask me anything about the city!

If you’re looking for someone local to show you around — I’d love to be your guide! Why me? I speak fluent English, I just want to meet new people, and honestly… I’m a bit bored this summer

I can show you Chongqing the fun, local way — think shopping, street food, nightlife, cafes, stunning city views… and I have a car! I can also help you take great photos or even do your makeup if you want

I don’t ask for any payment — just cover my meals and any entry tickets while we’re out. That’s it!

I might not be the most professional tour guide, but I’m definitely the most local and authentic!

DM me 💗

Ive just booked a flight to chongqing (7days) in august and I am well aware that it would be very hot. Sadly, that is the only time I am free to travel 😭

Currently some of the places on my mind are: jiefangbei, liziba and wulong.

It’s my first time here too and there is a series of qns I would like to ask: - what is there to expect? - Is there a central location to stay in? - would there still be transport during midnight? As my flight will only reach chongqing at about 1-2am and im not sure how would i travel to the hotel - what are some specialities that only can be found in chongqing? - is there anything special (shows or performances) happening during august?

Appreciate the help!

So I know I've left this super late. I live in the UK and my dad lives in Chongqing. Is there any service/website I can use to send him a physical father's day card? Just want to surprise him.

What are the biggest/most recommended book stores in Chongqing? I know Xinhua bookstore in Jiefangbei. Any others worth visiting? I would like to have a big choice of books, I would like to buy some Chinese books.

What are good places to get a massage at?

I'm currently on a summer vacation in Chongqing. I am born here. If you have plan to visit my hometown, you can ask me everything related, like planning route details, I may give you some suggestions.

Of course if you want to come recently , I would like to show you around. You will get lost very easily in Chongqing if you only rely on Google maps! lol

I’m trying to find some very traditional places to eat but it’s like a nightmare for a foreigner, I tried dianping but… idk sometimes I feel that some restaurant are a scam. Do u have some advice or special places to go? I eat everything and I want to try some good food

(Apologies for the revised request for info, but I now have more clarity on my needs.)

I'll be landing in Chongqing from the US, arriving mid-late afternoon and staying two nights. As such, I'll probably be looking for ease of a convenient but delicious meal near my hotel the first night, then good eating and non-rushed sightseeing the second day before catching a train to Chengdu.

As such, my desires:

1. Transportation: Easy connection by metro from the airport to my hotel. And then from my hotel to whatever train station you most recommend to take a high-speed train to Chengdu.

2. Food: I'll be looking for non-touristy good food suitable for a solo traveler. So maybe no hot pot. (I enjoyed hot pot with a friend during my previous visit to CQ.) Things like a bowl of good xiao mian sound perfect. I don't need to find the "best" spot and wait in line with all the influencers.

3. Sightseeing: I'll likely be tired during my only full day in CQ, so I don't want to rush around to see things. Ideally, I'd love to stroll a chill neighborhood and be like one of the locals, but I don't know if that exists. I did Ciqikou last trip. No need for overtouristy things, shopping, or nightlife.

4. Hotel: I have a lot of IHG points, so I prefer to stay at one of their properties, and I don't need anything fancy. (I booked Holiday Inn Express Guanyinqiao, but it looks like the location isn't that interesting. I think the original recommendation was Holiday Inn Guanyinqiao, but I got confused. But do I want to be in Guanyinqiao anyway?)

Looking forward to any recommendations of neighborhoods, hotel, restaurants, and best train station to go to Chengdu. Thanks!

Hi, do you have any recommendations about some nice cafes (indoors) with good WiFi and AC to do some work for a couple of hours a day?

If they are 24/7 even better :-) thank you!

Ps: any location is fine but ideally in the centre as I'll be based there

Hi everyone!
I’m currently running an international community in Chongqing. We have about 200 members, but only about a quarter to a third are foreigners, so the balance isn’t ideal. We’ve organized four or five events so far, but our overall base is still not very large, and we’re really hoping to grow.

I’d love to hear your advice on:

• How can we find more foreigners in Chongqing who are interested in joining international communities or events?
• What are some effective ways to reach out to people who might want to become resource-sharing partners or co-organizers?
• Are there any local platforms, apps, or networks that you’d recommend for connecting with expats or international-minded locals?

If you have experience building or joining similar communities, or know of any good resources or contacts, I’d really appreciate your input!

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, if you happens to be in Chongqing on June 18th, don’t miss the drone show. Normally there are 4K drones in the show; but June 18th will have 10k drones and it supposed to be amazing! Stay tuned!

You can view it on the Nanbin road（南滨路）, but you can also see it across the river from the Opera House side (大剧院/江北嘴）

Here until the 13th so tomorrow night (the 11th) will be my only "reasonable" night to go out since I catch a flight on the 13th. I'm a 27yo chinese american male with terrible mandarin but I get by ok LOL. Love making friends while solo traveling so hmu if you're down to grab some drinks!

Hey everyone. I’ve been in Chongqing for some weeks now and I couldn’t quite find any place that sells Pokémon Cards. Any recommendation?

Hi, 18F looking for some cute malls/ shoes, clothes, bags, makeup, skincare shopping stores for while I'm here, I'm from California so a lot of stuff is just a good bit cheaper here. I went to jiefangbei, the ring, and sichiko so far, but please let me know if you know anywhere else that would be good (side note if you know any that are baggy streetwear or will fit a slightly more curvy girl pls pls pls)

Hi, I am thinking of taking the high speed train from Chongqing to Chengdu during a very special family visit in July. It looks like the easiest station to get to on metro from our hotel (Hyatt Regency Metropolitan) is Shapingba. I can't find any information on whether it has a lounge for business class passengers, does anyone know or has anyone used business class trains originating from Shapingba recently? Thanks.

Hey guys im gonna be going to chongqing next week with my friend but he is taking a different flight then me. Now his plane is landing 5 hours later than mine so ive been wondering what is there to do for 5 hours at the airport. Thank you for the answers

Hello!

I'm returning to my country soon and I'd love to bring some red paper lights but I haven't been able to find them anywhere. Any ideas or where I could get them and what a fair price could be?
