The food that must be punched in in Chongqing -- [Dongzi Li Maodu Hot Pot] (Monument to the people's Liberation Store). It was evening when I arrived in Chongqing.

A must-have dish - tripe. The taste is amazing. The tripe is specially cut by the chef on site and placed on a plate, fresh and delicious. There are also special seasonings to prepare the tripe.

My Winter Promise with the Night City - Hongyadong

Originally, Hongya Cave was one of the ancient gates of Chongqing, built along the river and the mountains. Hongya Cave is also a witness to Chongqing's history and culture, and a symbol of Chongqing's urban spirit. The "stilted buildings" with traditional architectural features of Bayu are the main ones, and the "stilted building group" on the cliffs of Hongyadong is a unique Bayu traditional architecture. The Hongyadong Folk Customs Area in Chongqing is a true reflection of the city's tourism landscape. The Monument to the people's Liberation Pedestrian Street, which is built by water, grows along cliffs, and is scattered high and low along mountains, is known as the "city card" of new Chongqing

Hongyadong is located near the local hotpot and can be reached by walking directly. Hongyadong is free, but some vendors on the roadside will come forward to solicit customers. It costs about 5-10 yuan to take you to Hongyadong. I don't know how he brought it, so we didn't follow him. We quickly found the viewing spot by following the signs.

The best place to watch Hongya Cave should be on the bridge next to it. If you have time, you can also walk across from Hongya Cave, a scenic spot that has become popular due to its resemblance to Spirited Away. It must be said that it is indeed very similar. Hongya Cave is like an ancient castle in a mountain city, quiet as a virgin during the day and the Fire Tree Star Bridge at night.

Boiled Youth Old Pot Restaurant

These past few days, it seems like I've become addicted to hotpot. It's impossible to just have one restaurant, so the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to book today's lunch. I wander the streets and start searching for the second hotpot in Chongqing. I find a hotpot restaurant from the 1980s, and as soon as I arrive at the door, a scent of Chongqing's old life hits me. The small shops on the street faintly show the shadow of my childhood education.

The decoration inside the restaurant is unique and full of childhood feelings. The benches and fireplace from childhood instantly bring a hint of warmth to this cold winter. There are also nostalgic words in the seasoning area, such as "put sesame oil, garlic powder, and cilantro, love how to tidy up", and rice bowls from the 1980s. Scenes of nostalgia suddenly appear in front of us, and everything goes back to the 1980s.

The most distinctive feature is that ordering dishes requires taking exams and writing test papers, which are very similar to the exam papers of the past. The only difference is that you chose everything correctly in this exam, and finally you can try the feeling of getting a full score. What you didn't do when you were a child, you can actually do it here.

Yesterday I chose the Jiugongge pot bottom, so today I specially tried the Double-flavor hot pot. One side is spicy, the other side is tomato pot bottom. If you can't eat spicy, you can choose this pot bottom.

Eating tripe feels like an addiction, becoming a must order delicacy in every hotpot in Chongqing. After being blanched for 20 seconds, the tripe is crispy and flavorful, with a beautiful and appetizing appearance. After 20 seconds, the tripe is fully seasoned and dipped in a specially made seasoning oil for youth, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. Personally, I feel that tripe is still spicy and more delicious when placed in a spicy soup pot.

The crispy meat here must be tried, it is crispy and delicious, with tender and tender flesh. It must be eaten while it is hot, and the pre meal snacks are very good.

Shrimp Slippery and Fat Beef are also must-have dishes. The fresh and tender shrimp Slippery is even more tender and delicious when fully immersed in the soup, melting in the mouth. The quality of the fat beef dish is extremely high, highly recommended.

In addition to meat vegetables, you can't miss out on your favorite sweet potatoes. They are super sweet, and the lotus root slices have a more delicious taste when mixed with spicy sauce. They are crispy but not greasy, and tofu skin and fungus are also essential for hot pot.

The Heavenly Market - Mountain City Trail

The Mountain City Trail is a city trail that can only be walked on, restoring the original style of hiking in the old mountain city. After eating hot pot, you can directly walk for about 20 minutes to reach the Mountain City Trail. A narrow stone door frame reads "Mountain City Trail", which has a mysterious feeling of old Chongqing. The trail is mainly composed of steps. When you arrive at the Mountain City Trail, the sky gradually darkens and the old-fashioned lanterns on the trail start to light up.

The mountain city trail restores a state of old Chongqing, and the entire street is filled with a retro and nostalgic atmosphere. Old style street pavilions and retro style lanterns are hung on the mountain city, resembling a street market in the sky. When a gust of wind blows, the lanterns sway in the wind, like a secret passage to old times.

There are various boutique shops selling small items on the mountain city trail, each with a unique atmosphere, and the entire trail is scattered with a faint light.

Walking quietly in the street market in the sky, listening to the tinkling sound of wind blowing and bell ringing, watching the crowd and traffic passing by from below the mountain, passing by the people in the mountains, occasionally adding a touch of romance.

The scene of this little girl shopping at the convenience store is similar to the scene of queuing up at the entrance of the store to buy snacks after school every day.

Local old hotpot (Hongyadong restaurant)

What kind of experience is it to become addicted to eating hotpot? Before closing your eyes every day, you think about hotpot, and after opening your eyes every day, you still think about hotpot. You have a feeling of falling in love with hotpot. After strolling along the mountain trail, you can head straight to our last hotpot in Chongqing - local hotpot. The sign at the entrance is super big, with five big words "local hotpot" written on it. This is also a very popular restaurant in Chongqing, and customers have been queuing up early.

The decoration of local old hotpot is very romantic, combining retro and traditional elements. The walls are covered with objects from the 1980s, and a sense of nostalgia suddenly hits the heart. The brightly lit street archways and crowded street stalls recreate the old Chongqing street scene. Come here to Chongqing and make a vintage appointment.

An open kitchen always gives people a sense of peace of mind and health when eating. I really like an open kitchen, and the restaurant also has hotpot ingredients that can be taken out. All of them are handmade by the restaurant and cost 25 yuan per bag.

Once upon a time, someone loved you for a long time "- Jay Chou - Sunny Day, the shop owner should also be a Jay fan. Jay Chou's early songs are playing on the wall, and he suddenly returns to his school days, reminiscing about the past while tasting Chongqing's old hotpot, which is also a pleasant thing.

On my last hotpot trip in Chongqing, I decided to end with a Nine Palace style dish. The first dish was definitely tripe, which was really addictive. I ordered two plates at once, and it was definitely the kind of flavor that I wanted to eat after finishing. It was crispy and delicious, and could be cooked in the pot for about 20 seconds. I didn't have to cook for too long, otherwise the meat would age and not be so crispy when eaten. The tripe itself doesn't have much flavor, but after rolling it in a red oil pot for 20 seconds and dipping it in the fragrant oil seasoning specially made for local hot pot, the taste is absolutely amazing. It is fresh, tender, and refreshing, with a slight spiciness. Combined with the strong aroma of the dipping sauce, it can be described as a delicious and irresistible taste.

A few days ago, I forgot to order lamb. For those who have been eating northern hotpot for a long time, how could I miss lamb? After being boiled in a pot, lamb has completely lost its fishy smell, leaving only a strong milk aroma and a light spicy taste. The meat is super tender and melts in the mouth.

New Pig Yellow Throat is also a must-have dish in Chongqing hotpot. The description of Yellow Throat is "how crispy it is", but be sure to pay attention to the heat, as the taste is super delicious.

How can I miss vegetables when I eat hotpot? Oily wheat dishes, old pumpkins, Rolls of dried bean milk creams, all of which are vegetables that must be ordered when I eat hotpot

There is also handmade ice rice dumpling. For those who are afraid of spicy food but still want to eat spicy food, it is absolutely necessary to have a bowl of it. There are raisins, sesame, hawthorn slices, watermelon and other ingredients that are super spicy, and the taste is also super good, sweet and not greasy.

Brown sugar rice cake, in cold weather, a hot brown sugar rice cake tastes like the brown sugar ointment we ate when we were children.

I haven't been in Chongqing for long, but it's enough to make me fall in love with this city. It's an aerial city growing in the mountains, radiating with a mysterious aura. Step by step, it attracts my attention and makes me yearn for it. Looking forward to our next goodbye
