Day-by-day Itinerary

Collapse All
  1. Your tour guide will arrive at your hotel at 5:00 pm to start your food tour of Chongqing which begins at the city center. The first dining experience will take you to an authentic restaurant where you will try Chongqing Jianghu cuisineĀ (ę±Ÿę¹–čœ) which is known for its strong numbing and spicy and fresh and aromatic taste. The river-port city of Chongqing developed as a docking area for merchants and dock workers who depended on highly spiced food to remove dampness from their bodies while restoring their lost energy. The intense flavor profile of Chongqing Jianghu dishes is shaped by these cultural practices. Popular specialties include Laifeng Fish, Spicy Diced Chicken, and MaoxuewangĀ (Boiled Blood and Tofu with Spicy Broth), though dishes can be adjusted to suit your spice tolerance.
