The mountains and rivers of our motherland have passed many times. Can you take a look at which province you haven't been to? Right here, Chongqing, a municipality directly under the central government, has never been visited before. There are many places to check in Chongqing, so let's come to Shancheng to get a card first.

Spicy not only means that Chongqing originally belonged to Sichuan, but also that Sichuan people mainly eat spicy food in their diet. Also, this trip is taking place during the relatively hot summer season in Chongqing, with scorching temperatures.

Speaking of calmness, it is because this unprecedented flood peak passed through the main urban area, and some sections and floors below the Light Rail Line 2 were flooded. The lowest point of the track was only a few meters above the water surface. The calm Chongqing citizens did not panic at all, and even joked that they were taking a "water monorail" and could fish on the platform with a fishing rod.

Our itinerary happened to coincide with the arrival of the Hongfeng, and the people of Chongqing remained calm. So let me also calm down for a while - haha! However, the magnetic port was severely flooded and did not resume playing until the end of the trip. I have some regrets and will revisit again next time.

The five-day trip to Chongqing is coming to an end soon. There are both surprises and regrets during this trip. The once-in-a-century flood peak has hindered our journey to Ciqikou. It's okay, Chongqing is a unique city directly under the central government, and I still want to come. By then, I will definitely make up for more places that I wanted to go but couldn't go!
