As the world's hot spring capital, Chongqing has hot spring resources that make the whole world jealous. From the main city to the surrounding districts and counties, the endless hot springs are a calling card of this city standing tall in the world.

On the other hand, as the birthplace of hotpot, Chongqing people are full of creativity in the production of hotpot. The three questions of where to eat, how to eat, and with whom to eat have almost become the ultimate questions in every Chongqing person's bones, equivalent to philosophical questions such as "Who am I?" "Where do I come from?" and "Where am I going.

What kind of chemical reaction will occur when hot springs and hotpot are combined?

On December 18, 2021, a unique and ceremonial Chongqing's first Xiajiang hot spring hotpot private banquet was held by the renowned Tongjing Hot Spring Xiajiang River in Chongqing.

Unforeseeable and unexpected surprises,

01 is a hotpot private banquet and also the highest level family banquet

At the end of the year, Chongqing always appears somewhat gloomy, with the lingering cumulonimbus clouds in the sky giving the entire city a damp feeling.

In this season, hot pot and hot springs have always been the best choices to solve depression.

On December 18, 2021, Tongjing Hot Springs opened its second season of Xiajiang Hot Spring Hot Pot Private Banquet. The first banquet was held at the "Chongqing Toast · Ideal Accompanies the 2021 Chongqing Ascott Raffles City Service Apartment&Tongjing Hot Spring Family Banquet Event" jointly organized by Ideal Automobile, Chongqing Ascott Raffles City Service Apartment, Tongjing Hot Spring, Jiangji Winery, and the "Lian'er Ye" self media matrix.

02 After a year, the private banquet of hot spring Xiajiang hotpot is once again opened

In fact, this is a unique hot spring hotpot private banquet product that combines the characteristics of Chongqing's urban cuisine with Tongjing Hot Springs.

As early as December 2020, also at the end of the year, Tongjing Hot Springs teamed up with "Lian'er Ye" and the independent planner of Chongqing hotpot, "Mr. Guake", to launch a hotpot private banquet that was full of ultimate quality and taste. Essentially, that hotpot private banquet was the starting point of hot spring Xiajiang hotpot.

On that day, the guests attending the private banquet witnessed for the first time the charm of the winter CP combination of "hot pot+hot springs" - under the mountains, in the warm mist, with tables and chairs in place, cups of fine wine ready, and dishes ready to be cooked. As the day gradually darkened, the distinguished diners who drove by took their seats one after another. The hot pot began to boil, and the mist of the hot spring pool water also rose up, full of warmth.

This is a feast that satisfies all aspects of vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. More importantly, before the hot pot, a pool of warm soup mist is even more abundant, perfectly connecting this exquisite and unique banquet and becoming the next joyful 'home'. Soaking in the warm and beautiful hot spring pool water, the body is enveloped by this warmth from the inside out, and gradually people begin to immerse themselves in this soothing feeling

After soaking in the hot springs, the guests were accompanied by melodious music and delicious dishes displayed one after another, creating a feast of tongue and vision that gradually reached its peak. Various ingredients are poured into the pot one after another, and the hot soup rolls in the pot. Amidst the clinking of glasses, people enjoy the wine together, and the mist lingers by the spring, creating a scene that is both realistic and surreal.

Chongqing people like to leisurely heat hot pot and "set up a dragon gate formation". Whether in the martial arts world or in the temple, the emotions of the people at the table can be instantly brought closer, with kindred spirits on the tip of the tongue, in the cup, and in everyone's story.

It has to be said that this is a place where we can enjoy beautiful scenery, delicious food, and beautiful body in all aspects. Apart from the private banquet of hot spring Xiajiang hotpot in Tongjing, it is hard to imagine where else we can find it.

In fact, this product is highly favored by soup lovers and diners. Enjoying a unique and ritualistic hot spring hotpot under the natural charm is a rare experience, not to mention how delicious it is. So, after a year, the first banquet of the second season of Tongjing Hot Spring Xiajiang Hot Pot Private Banquet once again opened the door to a beautiful experience.

03 Encountering Beauty by the Hot Spring Pool

Starting from the downstairs of the Chongqing Ascott Raffles City Service Apartment, 11 6-seater new energy vehicles from Ideal ONE are lined up in a row, waiting to be seated. The comfortable riding experience makes the 60 kilometer journey from Fushi Square to Tongjing Hot Springs seem not far away. Many people are eager to test drive this intelligent, maneuverable, and aesthetically pleasing car.

After the convoy arrived at the entrance of Tongjing Hot Springs, it attracted many tourists to watch - after all, as the best-selling new energy vehicle in China, the Ideal ONE stands at the forefront of this era in terms of aesthetics and performance. The guests walked into the Tongjing Hot Spring in a procession, and the tall trees slowly retreated as they moved forward. The wind made the treetops tremble, and the leaves collided with each other, making a rustling sound. The gentle breeze stirred the soil of December and brought a fresh air.

Next to the public hot spring pool of Tongjing Hot Springs, the scene of the family banquet event has a festive atmosphere. The staff wearing Christmas hats, reindeer hairpins, and Christmas bracelets are nervously arranging materials, and carrying Santa Claus cards adds a festive atmosphere to the entire table. The mountains are clear and the water is misty, making it particularly easy for people to relax. Accompanied by the rising clouds and the evening sun, there are white egrets drifting over the river when they immerse themselves in the spring pool, the sound of birds singing and insects in the deep forest, and the calmness and relief of passing thousands of sails. Standing in the center of the riverside food court, I saw the steep contours of the cliffs and cliffs on the opposite bank, where the river surrounded the mountains and the winding mountain paths spread. The giant, whose rocks have not died for a thousand years, gazed at us with silence and solemnity.

For us who stay in the city all year round, this is the most wonderful encounter. Encountering beauty.

Between ice and fire, warm and comfortable

Although it is deep winter, the vitality of the Wentang River forest - taking a bamboo raft tour of Wentang River, breaking through the calm of the water surface, rippling blue waves, and blooming emotions here.

The Wentang River is not big, just like a green jade belt surrounding the Tongjing Hot Spring Scenic Area. Wearing a life jacket and riding a bamboo raft, one can leisurely slide into the embrace of the Wentang River. This area is rich in geothermal resources, with dense vegetation and thriving life singing vigorously in the forest. The cliffs on both sides of the strait stand against the sky, with green bamboo covering the sky and ridges on all sides. The small boat moves freely on the wide water surface, creating a feeling of "the light boat has already crossed ten thousand mountains".

The ship arrived at the mouth of the gorge, and the cliffs on both sides collapsed and cracked, looking up at the sky like a straight line. The murmuring stream flows out of the gorge, upstream and downstream, winding and twisting, with occasional brightness and darkness. Suddenly, I remembered the praise written by the Qing Dynasty literati Zhou Kaifeng for Tongjing, who spared no effort in writing and writing: "There are many magnificent barrel wells, and the source seeking scenery is not endless. The good mountains are graceful and winding, and the winding paths are even more lush. Hanging trees, thousands of monkeys leap, and a line of sky is visible. In the place where the peach blossom falls, the fisherman has been spotted several times

When the bamboo raft docked at the opposite pier, dozens of monkeys jumped out from a high place and looked around, perhaps because they had been in contact with people more and were not afraid of them at all. Instead, they extended their furry little hands and begged for food from the guests, causing everyone to laugh and cheer.

Although the scenery is beautiful, it must be said that the air is indeed cold, so after the cruise, everyone chose to soak themselves in warm spring water to nourish themselves. Entering warmth from coldness, although only a few hundred meters away, brings an unparalleled sense of enjoyment - as soon as you enter the hot spring area, the heat immediately rushes towards you, and the cold is mercilessly blocked outside the door. The soaking pool area is steaming hot and the spring is surging.

At this moment, there is only warmth and comfort here.

I can resist anything except temptation

The night began to cover up, and the scattered light rain was also dispelled by the enthusiasm of the private hot spring hotpot banquet. The sky revealed a hint of indigo, spreading with the light of the sky.

Before the main meal of the private hot spring banquet, Jiangji Winery brought professional mixologists who used Jiangji sorghum wine to create four cocktails: jasmine, osmanthus, strawberry, and cranberry.

Family members from all over the world, enjoying a carefully crafted cocktail with small snacks, chatting in twos and threes, perhaps about work, life, or even the journey that brings them joy.

Hot pot, rolling with red soup or boiling with clear soup, in the cold night, is permeated with aromatic hydrocarbons brought by chili peppers, stimulating everyone's nose and taste buds. When combined with the aroma of sesame oil flavor plates with a purity of 80%, it is like the devil that seduces people to secrete saliva, extending its magic palm to everyone.

So the stars are not from last night. Under the cover of night, Jiangji Sorghum Wine Handmade Craft No.1 and Jinmei Jian, produced by Jiangji Winery, captured the hearts of everyone present. No.1 is mellow, Meijian is refreshing, and the cocktail is charming

It has to be said that Lian Er Ye, who never drinks alcohol, surprisingly had countless strange thoughts in his chest of "you can drink more tonight" in such an environment.

When the beautiful host announced the official start of the hot spring banquet, the whole room was almost boiling with excitement——

It can be seen that everyone is hungry.

06 is considered an extremely professional hotpot in Chongqing

Actually, this is the second season of the private banquet of Tongjing Hot Spring Xiajiang Hot Pot. It's hard to imagine that hot pot by a hot spring is not only intentionally delicious, but also not something that can be found in such a place.

It is said that the base material is handmade by professional hotpot chefs, and chili peppers must be made from last year's or current year's Shizhu Red No. 3, cut and then remove the stems and seeds; The best Maowen Sichuan pepper, only choose the first branch Sichuan pepper from that year (the first branch Sichuan pepper is 30% more expensive than the same Sichuan pepper but not the first branch); The butter produced by a butter factory in Xi'an needs to be specially made without chemical additives

When stir frying, the chef always hangs a temperature gun around his waist, occasionally pulling it out and pointing it at the bottom of the pot, pulling the trigger - his movements are a bit like the distorted silhouette of the gun in the opening credits of 007, and also a bit like Li Xiangyang, a shell slinger in the Plain Guerrilla Squad with a disabled arm - according to him, every step of stir frying hot pot base requires controlling the oil temperature, otherwise the flavor and layering of the base cannot be felt

From high to low, and then from low to high, a huge spatula like a Zen staff swings thousands or even tens of thousands of times in a huge wok, taking nearly ten hours to complete a handmade hotpot base.

We don't know how many white clouds and wild dogs, as well as how many mountains and mountains are weighed down, and how they exert themselves and rack their brains.

As for the taste, we know it when we see the family members of the hot spring family banquet sitting at the hot pot table, whether they are VIPs from the Chongqing Ascott Raffles City Service Apartment or experienced hot pot diners who have grown up in Chongqing since childhood. In this rich and colorful red soup, they push their glasses and change them, but never put down their chopsticks because the other end of the chopsticks is always holding crispy and refreshing tripe, thick luncheon meat, and soft potatoes in the pot

Delicious as a mess.
