At the beginning of the Chinese New Year in 2025, my child finished his cram school class and there were still 4 days before school started. I booked a ticket to go to Chongqing to eat delicious food. On the first day, I stayed at Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, ate pea noodles, and checked in at Jiefangbei. There are many delicious foods in Bayi Food Street [Cute] Jiefangbei-Shancheng Trail-Luohan Temple-Yangtze River Cableway-Longmenhao-Xiahaoli-Hongyadong. On the second day, I stayed at Guanyinqiao Pedestrian Street and checked in at the Chongqing Big Screen-went to Liziba to take the light rail through the building-Haohuan Shopping Center Honestly speaking, Chongqing noodles are really delicious. The oil tea mentioned on the Internet is not as good as the noodles. The motherland has mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, with many beautiful scenery and delicious food. When you have free time, you should go out for a walk more often [Yeah]
