This year's time flies very fast. In the blink of an eye, it's almost National Day. This year's National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival are connected. Everyone has an 8-day long holiday. It is estimated that many friends are already ready to make up for the travel they owe since the Spring Festival this year. Make up for it and start a trip that you can go on, but where should you go during the National Day holiday? In previous years, Yufan would recommend everyone to take advantage of the long vacation to go abroad and fly far away for a few days of lost contact. However, this year, due to well-known reasons, you can forget about it abroad. It's better to honestly find a place in China to play. If you don't have a place in particular to visit, Yufan recommends you to come to Chongqing, as the city with the highest number of tourists in China for three consecutive years.(540 million yuan in 2017, 550 million yuan in 2018, and 657 million yuan in 2019). It is also a veritable capital of Internet celebrities, food capital, and hot springs. It is also the world's most promising tourist city rated by Lonely Planet. You will never regret it when you come to Chongqing. Not only do you have a lot of beautiful scenery and delicious food here, but Chongqing people are also enthusiastic, tolerant and non-exclusive. For the sake of a city where foreign tourists can give up the bridge, you came right.

Where should I go to play when I arrive in Chongqing? In the past, I might recommend you a lot of popular Internet celebrity attractions, but now I will recommend you a more worthwhile place to visit-Chongqing Raffles. The reasons are as follows. Chongqing Raffles is located above the intersection of the two rivers. Above the Chaotianmen Gate, it is the location of Chongqing's zero-kilometer location and the real urban core of Chongqing. It is not only Chongqing's new landmark building, but also Chongqing's largest foreign-funded project, with an investment of 24 billion yuan. There are the world's longest horizontal skyscrapers, Chongqing's best city observation deck, Chinese version of the Sky Garden, more than 400 shops of various types, and more than 100 delicacies of various types. During the short holiday with traffic jams everywhere, you can enjoy Chongqing's one-stop eating, drinking and entertainment experience without going out of Raffles, watch Chongqing's most prosperous night view, eat Chongqing's most authentic hot pot, experience Chongqing's most magical mountain city landscape, and watch the magical Mandarin duck pot in the two rivers... In short, Enjoy it in one stop.

Internationally famous cities often have their own famous rivers, just as the Seine River is to Paris, the Thames River is to London, the Hudson River is to New York, and the Huangpu River is to Shanghai. These rivers have flowed endlessly for thousands of years. Not only are they the top natural resources of the metropolis, but they are also a place for us to check in. The same is true for Chongqing. It is surrounded by the Jialing River and the Yangtze River, and the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River is the geographical center of Chongqing, Chaotianmen. In history, this gate is the largest of the seventeen gates in Chongqing that open nine and close eight. Facing the intersection of the two rivers, it is also the gate to welcome officials and receive saints. It has a very special status in the eyes of Chongqing people.

Above Chaotianmen, the historical symbol of Chongqing, a new urban landmark has been built-Chongqing Raffles, which cost 24 billion yuan. Its plan to set sail in the sky has attracted much attention from the world as soon as it came out. After its opening, it was filled with thousands of people. There are a 250-meter-high hanging garden, the world's longest horizontal skyscraper, a 270-degree ring-screen observation deck, 235,000 commercial areas, more than 400 various stores, and more than 100 various delicacies. It is definitely more worth checking in than all the online celebrity attractions before Chongqing. So how should I play it? Yu Fan happened to have a few days ago with his friends, and he gave everyone a lesson. Now he shares his experience with everyone and takes a look:

Check in the only theme viewing platform in China: Discovery Platform. observation deck

Exploration capsule. The observation deck is one of the most popular Internet celebrity attractions in Chongqing this year, and it is also one of the most worthy places to check in for Chongqing Raffles. Its status in Chongqing is a bit similar to Xiaomanyao to Guangzhou, where you can see the blooming Pearl River New City; Or the Oriental Pearl River to Shanghai, where you can see the high-rise Pudong New District; in the Raffles Discovery Module. The observation deck can see the banks of Chongqing's most prosperous Liangjiang River. The entire capsule. The observation deck consists of an exhibition hall of about 900 square meters located on the first floor of the shopping center and an indoor and outdoor platform of about 1500 square meters on one side of the Jialing River in the 250-meter-high crystal corridor.

The entrance is on the right side of the first floor of Raffles Shopping Center. After entering the door, there is a 900-square-meter themed exhibition hall of Chongqing's traceability journey. The exhibition contents include "The Origin of the City","Discovering Chongqing","Modern Times","Gate to the West","Opening Eyes on the World", and "Participating in the Future". Reading carefully can enhance your understanding of Chongqing's urban humanities and historical changes.

In the exhibition on the theme of the Journey to the Origin of Chongqing, there are not only pictures and texts, but also interactive devices such as "Sichuan Dialect Foreign School","Republic of China Photo Museum","Past Events in the West", and "Send Chongqing a Smiley Face". The picture above is equipment to teach everyone to learn Sichuan dialect. During the Anti-Japanese War, elites from all over the country and even from all over the world came to Chongqing. However, if they wanted to integrate into Chongqing, they had to learn Chongqing's local language, so the local area compiled a textbook to teach foreigners to speak Sichuan dialect. Now it has been made into an electronic version by Raffles. It is very interesting. Some netizens said that I can play here for a day.

The above picture is a photo taken by Yu Fan at Chongqing Shanhuba Airport on the equipment of the Republic of China Photo Museum. When taking the photo, only the heads of tourists are photographed. Other content is synthesized by the system. There are many scenes that can be chosen from. It can be a single person. It can also be a photo taken by several friends. If you are a couple, you can also take a wedding photo of the Republic of China style here. There are many interactive devices like this, which not only increases the fun of exploring Chongqing's history and culture here, but also allows people to actively explore the deep-seated content of landscape connotation and humanistic extension.

After visiting the exhibition hall of the Chongqing Traceability Tour, you will enter a cool "space-time tunnel" composed of various curves. On both sides of the channel, the development vision of Chongqing City is played. It is very abstract, like a science fiction blockbuster. Being in it, as if "traveled" to the future.

Then, we reached the 47th floor at an altitude of 250 meters through the high-speed elevator that played science fiction travel pictures. As the sound of "Welcome to Mars" sounded, the elevator "cabin door" slowly opened in the Crystal Corridor Exploration Module. The first thing that came into view is a large arc-shaped display screen that shows humans exploring Mars and transforming Mars into a planet suitable for human survival. This area is located on one side of the Jialing River in the Crystal Corridor. The entire space consists of an indoor space with an area of approximately 1500 square meters and an outdoor viewing platform.

Exploration capsule. The indoor part of the observation deck has been built into a Mars Exploration Observatory. The five 5D somatosensory Mars themed exhibition areas show how humans transformed Mars one by one. It is said that the audio-visual content was jointly created by the National Geographic gold medal production team and Oscar-winning producers."Live On Mars" production team was jointly created by the original production team, allowing people to experience humans 'great idea of exploring how to make Mars a second livable "Earth" while traveling.

After exploring Mars, you can go out of the room and come to the famous viewing platform. It is located at the port of the Crystal Corridor next to the Jialing River. It is a prominent semicircular suspended glass viewing platform. It has a 270-degree ring view and is the best city viewing platform in Chongqing, with surging rivers and bustling streets at its feet.

Looking into the distance from the railing and enjoying a 270-degree view of the famous Jiefangbei, Jiangbeizui, Danzishi, Chaotianmen Bridge, Hongya Cave, Yangtze River Cableway, Dajinying, Nanbin Road, Beibin Road and many other well-known Chongqing Internet celebrity check-in spots have a panoramic view.

The Exploration Module Observation Deck not only allows people who love the city to come here to overlook the beautiful scenery of the two rivers and enjoy the perfect sunset and night view of the city, but also allows them to take the effect of a sky mirror at the top of the city 250 meters, standing or sitting. You can take a perfect reflection; if you encounter the first sunny after the rain and the clouds are filled with clouds and clouds, you will still feel like walking among the clouds and riding on the clouds.

After experiencing the magical collision between "Mars" and 8D Chongqing at the Discovery Module Observation Deck, take the elevator down to the first floor and you will see the distinctive Chongqing Raffles Official Souvenir Store. There are hundreds of souvenirs in a dazzling array. If you encounter them, you can buy some and take them back as a souvenir, or bring a companion gift to your relatives and friends. It is said that these souvenirs were originally designed by Chongqing Raffles and Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, including Chongqing Old City Gate, Hot Pot, 8D City, Chaotianmen Wharf, Raffles Manuscripts, Shancheng, Qiaodu... and many other Chongqing elements. Souvenirs types include luggage tags, clothes, jewelry, maps, cups, models, notebooks, refrigerator stickers, silk scarves, books, key chains, etc.

Outside the souvenir store is the Chongqing Intangible Cultural Heritage Market and the accompanying gift area. It collects a large number of Chongqing specialties, famous snacks and various handicrafts, such as Hechuan peach blossoms, Jiangjin rice flower grains, hot pot base, oddly flavored beans, Chengkou bacon, Qijiang farmer prints, Rongchang folding fans..., etc., many of which are geographical indication products or century-old hometown names. They have everything to eat, use, and gifts. If you also like to buy, you will definitely find here. Chongqing flavor.

Check-in Chinese version of the Sky Garden, the world's longest horizontal skyscraper: Raffles Crystal Corridor

When it comes to hanging gardens, many friends may first think of the Hanging Garden of Babylon, one of the seven wonders of ancient times. It is said that the garden was built by Nebuchadnezzar II of the Kingdom of Babylon in the sixth century BC for his homesick princess Ammeidis in the city of Babylon. However, this hanging garden, which is only known but can only be imagined, has long disappeared in the long river of history. What does it look like? We have no way of knowing how beautiful it is, but we don't have to feel sorry, because there is a Chinese version of the hanging garden on the crystal corridor 250 meters high in Raffles, Chongqing.

The ancient sky garden used a three-dimensional gardening technique, placing the garden on a 25-meter platform supported by pillars, supplemented by an irrigation system, and slaves constantly pushing handles connected to gears. Various flowers, plants and trees are planted in the garden, which looks like a garden hanging in the air from a distance, hence the name Hanging Garden. The Chinese version of the "Hanging Garden" is ten times the height of the Hanging Garden of Babylon-an altitude of 250 meters above the ground. The garden is not supported by simple pillars, but by four ultra-high skyscrapers.

Chongqing Raffles, where the Chinese version of "Hanging Garden" is located, was built by world-renowned architect Moses. Safdie Design and Singapore CapitaLand Group invested more than 24 billion yuan in construction, with a total construction area of more than 1.12 million square meters, equivalent to 170 football fields. It is not only Singapore's largest investment project in China, but also Chongqing's largest foreign-funded project. Its completion has set the world's tallest, largest, heaviest and most dangerous curtain wall unit upgrades.

The Chinese version of the Sky Garden is located in the 250-meter-high crystal corridor in Raffles, Chongqing. This crystal corridor is also the longest horizontal skyscraper in the world. It is 300 meters long, 32.5 meters wide, 26.5 meters high, and has an area of more than 10,000 square meters. In the corridor, there are more than 110 tall trees, forming a tropical rainforest in the sky. The trees are green, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It is a real hanging garden, and it also contains exploration modules. Comfortable and spacious spaces such as observation deck, hotel lobby, clubs, casual dining, etc.

It is not easy to build such a hanging garden at an altitude of 250 meters. To maintain the normal growth of tall trees, we must ensure sufficient sunshine, suitable temperature and thick and fertile soil. It is relatively easy to ensure sufficient sunshine on the crystal corridor because it is all transparent glass, which is not much different from the outdoor sunshine; The appropriate temperature is adjusted through 24-hour air conditioning, and the water is watered regularly by a special person. The most difficult thing at an altitude of 250 meters is the thick and fertile soil. There are a large number of tall trees in these green plants. Different from low shrubs, they must have thick soil to survive. Fortunately, this crystal corridor is circular. How high is the upper part and how deep is the underground part, which can provide enough thick soil for these trees.

Sunshine, temperature, moisture, and soil have all been solved. In terms of nutrition, in addition to fertilizing the soil, each tree is provided with nutrient solution. It can be said that they all enjoy VIP level comprehensive services, and these trees are not simple. Any tree is a famous tree worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. According to the staff, these trees had been cultivated in other similar environments for more than a year before they were planted in Raffles. Therefore, after being transplanted into the Crystal Corridor, after careful care by the staff, there was no phenomenon of acclimatization. Each tree grows lush. If you only look at the pictures, you can't tell that these plants are growing at an altitude of 250 meters.

This sky garden is now open to the public. It has restaurants, bars, observation decks, and hotels. When everyone is tired from shopping, go up and sit for a while, ask for a drink or something to eat, and enjoy this great sky garden while looking out the window. The bustling city and chatting and laughing with friends are a very pleasant holiday.

Check in Chaotianmen Square to find Chongqing's zero-kilometer sign

Chaotianmen is the place where old Chongqing welcomes officials and honors. Since Zhang Yi built a city in Jiangzhou, Chaotianmen, where the two rivers meet, is the water terminal that enters and exits Chongqing. Ancient land road transportation was underdeveloped, and the status of Chaotianmen is particularly important, let alone it is a place where officials and honors are welcomed. It carries the historical memory of Chongqing 3000 years old and cultivates the pride and character of the city. The majestic Yangtze River and the thousand-mile-long Jialing River (Yushui, also the source of Chongqing's abbreviation) meets here. Chongqing's openness and inclusiveness were born here, and the bold and upright terminal culture was formed here. It is not only a landmark of Chongqing, but also a business card of Chongqing, so when it comes to Raffles, why should I come to Chaotianmen Square to check in?

Chaotianmen Square is just in front of Raffles, just off the first floor, but there is no place closer than Raffles to Chaotianmen. It has two rivers and three barriers. It is majestic. In 1891, Chongqing was turned into a commercial port, and customs began to be established at Chaotianmen. In 1927, the old city gate was demolished due to the construction of Chaotianmen Wharf.

In the center of Chaotianmen Square, there is a Chongqing kilometer zero-kilometer sign covering an area of 25 square meters. It is the real geographical center of Chongqing. This sign was built in 2005 and has a square outside and a round inside. It is divided into four parts from the inside to the outside. The innermost layer is a point with a diameter of 1.5 centimeters, which is Chongqing's "zero kilometers". Outside it is a dome cast copper body with a diameter of 1.2 meters, with a map of Chongqing marked on it. The map is marked in four directions, southeast, northwest, and Chongqing's altitude: 201.3 meters. There are also the coordinates of Chaotianmen, which are respectively 29.34 north latitude and 106.35 east longitude, which is relatively close to the magical 30 degrees north latitude.

If you go further, you will see the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River, which is what Chongqing people often call Yuanyang Pot. Why do you say this? Because the Yangtze River water has a large sediment content, it appears relatively turbid, similar to the Yellow River, while the Jialing River water is much clearer in comparison, so the two rivers intersect and are clearly separated. If the red soup in Yuanyang Pot is the same as the clear soup.

Chaotianmen was demolished 100 years ago when the dock was expanded. Therefore, although the Chaotianmen Gate is still very famous, it no longer has a gate. If you look from the front and see a small door opening, it is just a deliberate attempt to build the square. It is far from the original Chaotianmen Gate. Standing on the Chaotianmen Square and leaning on the railing into the distance, you can see the city scenery of the two rivers and four banks. On the side of the Yangtze River, opposite the famous Nanbin Road. Directly ahead is the planned Danzishi Central Business District (as famous as Jiefangbei and Jiangbeizui).

The red arched bridge in the distance is the famous Chaotianmen Bridge, and on the left is the financial center of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River-Chongqing Jiangbeizui. A green tank-shaped building in front is Chongqing's Grand Theater, and adjacent to it is the Chongqing Science and Technology Museum. Behind them are large glass curtain walls buildings, which are filled with the headquarters or regional headquarters of financial companies.

Check in the Shancheng Garden and walk through the 24-hour cultural channel

The first floor of Raffles in Chongqing is connected to Chaotianmen, and the mountain city garden on the top of the fifth floor is flush with Xinhua Road, so you can appreciate the magical terrain of Chongqing without leaving Raffles. The roof of the podium building covers an area of about 50,000 square meters, of which about 30000 square meters are open to the public. It is an urban public garden built by Chongqing Raffles.

The garden of the mountain city is lined with green trees and crisscross paths. There are the oasis in the heart of the city created by the world-renowned garden consultant WAA, the Diequan Waterfall that highlights Chongqing's characteristics, and the "Blooming" and "Huizhiyu" series of art sculptures, urban fountains and other attractions.

However, it was a bit unfortunate when we went there. During the day, Raffles was cleaning the curtain wall, and the front part was blocked by temporary railings. The Diequan Waterfall was not open, so we couldn't go to the front to shoot. Fortunately, after 5 o'clock, the workers cleaning the curtain wall got off work. We have the opportunity to go to the front and play. At night, the fountain in the garden also opened. Interestingly, this fountain is shaped like a maze. Children can go in and play in the water, and adults can also go in and take photos.

Coming down from Shancheng Garden, there is a fast channel extending from Xinhua Road to Chaotianmen Square, which is open to the public 24 hours a day. The entire avenue is made of customized blue stone as a staircase, with a total length of about 273 meters, spanning 4 floors and connecting shopping. The entrance to the L4 floor of the center and the entrance to Chaotianmen Square on the L1 floor have a total of 108 steps. The wide staircase of the channel combines the terrain characteristics of Chongqing's "climbing uphill". You can also experience the interesting Chongqing terrain characteristics while playing. Feel the spirit of Chongqing people's upward struggle.

On the way to the 24-hour corridor, there are many sculptures introducing Chongqing culture. The works use embossed artistic techniques combined with LED transparent screen technology to showcase the characteristic cultures of Chongqing and Chaotianmen, including "Welcoming Officials and Receiving Saints","Xiaoping's Journey to Sichuan","Modern Commerce","Folk Culture","Chongqing Anti-Japanese War","Chuanjiang Shipping","Chuanjiang Horn", etc., walk slowly and savor carefully. Those who are interested can read the richness and brilliance of Chongqing culture.

Also on the way to the 24-hour passage, we can see many golden signs on the floor tiles. On closer inspection, we can see that all the ten city gates of old Chongqing are marked, and the small characters below are the old Chongqing folk song "Chongqing Song". The content: Chaotianmen, a large dock, welcomes officials and welcomes saints (open); Cuiwei Gate, decorated with colorful satin, with bright colors (closed); Qianzai Gate, flowery buns, white snow like silver (open); Hongya Gate, sail widely, kill chickens and worship God (closed); Linjiang Gate, manure dock, and Feitian Youben (open); Tai 'an Gate, Taifang Gate, Jigu and Benefiting People (closed)... clearly introduce the names and characteristics of Chongqing's 17 ancient city gates.

Fun recommendation: GGV Studios

If you are tired from shopping, you can go to Raffles 'GGV Studios to watch a new blockbuster. CGV Studios Chongqing Raffles Store is the 130th store in the country and one of the few national flagship stores in CGV China. It has advanced projection technology and is also the store with the largest number of special effects cinemas in the country. There are IMAX theaters with wide views and excellent sound effects, 4DX theaters with five-sense experiences, Screen X theaters with 270-degree three-screen screens, and GOLD CLASS high-end movie halls that introduce the aircraft first-class design concept and allow you to enjoy watching movies while lying down. Cinema.

That day, we watched an action thriller "Creed" produced by Warner Bros. Films in the United States. It was directed by Christopher Nolan and co-starred by John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debizzi, Michael Kane and Kenneth Branagh. It was very brain-burning. Friends from the same industry came out and said that they didn't understand it at all, because the protagonist kept shuttling between forward and reverse in order to save the world. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to distinguish the roles.

That day, we watched "Creed" in the IMAX hall of GGV. The hardware facilities inside were very good, and the design was full of low-key and luxurious high-end feeling. Compared with ordinary studios, it had a different movie-watching atmosphere.

After watching the movie, when we went out, we found that there was also an exquisite GOLD LOUNGE lounge area in the studio. It was like a museum, full of Internet celebrity elements for taking photos and checking in.

It is said that such a design came from Arup Associates in the United Kingdom. It was originally a barn and was later transformed into a music performance hall. There is no lack of music in the movies, and art is connected. There are also some art pictograms in the movies. The existence of the movie reflects the dynamics of the movie in a static form before the audience, and vivid photo prints and paper paintings are used in the form of a gallery. This design brings art and life to the audience in a new look. Re-exist in people's eyes in another colorful form.

Fun recommendation: Hesetang Skin Beauty

After playing in Chongqing for a few days, we originally wanted to get massages, but our friend recommended us to Hesetang. He said that he and his girlfriend often come here for nursing care. After entering, we found that this is a store that specializes in Japanese skin beauty. They mainly use electronic devices to tighten the skin and shoulders and neck.

The interior decoration style is very Japanese, the environment is comfortable, elegant and romantic. Coming here will give people a relaxed feeling.

Modern society has a fast pace of life and a lot of stress. Long-term staying up late, lack of sleep, sedentary, and playing with mobile phones for a long time have led to many people being stressed out for health. Therefore, it is necessary to do maintenance from time to time. When Yu Fan was in Guangdong, he would go for shoulder and neck massages two to three times a month to relieve muscle strain, so when I get tired from shopping, I want to lie down and rest when I see such an environment.

Finally, at the recommendation of the staff, I made a face, shoulders and neck tightening package with my Beijing friend Ding Ding. According to the staff, the usual price of such a project is more than 900 yuan, but there are activities recently underway., only more than 200 yuan per time. After a little more than an hour, I did feel that my facial skin was much better and firmer after the end. Ding, who was in the same industry, said that my face had become smaller. Of course, this kind of care can only be improved, and it cannot be done once and for all. Good skin requires long-term care and I personally feel that it is very suitable for female friends who love beauty. While chatting, the store manager said that if you introduced a friend, he could directly give you a special price. Everyone can go and try it out and say that it was recommended by Yu Fan.

Food recommendation: Xin Taoran, representative of Chongqing School of Sichuan cuisine

When traveling to Chongqing, in addition to seeing the magical 8D city and a large number of Internet celebrity attractions, we naturally also need to taste Chongqing's food. When it comes to Chongqing food, it is estimated that many friends will think of Chongqing hot pot and noodles as soon as possible. In fact, Chongqing's food is far from hot pot and noodles, there are also many unique Chongqing local dishes. Chongqing cuisine belongs to a branch of Sichuan cuisine, which is what people often call Chongqing cuisine or Chongqing School Sichuan cuisine in recent years. Xintaoran is one of the classic representatives.

Xintaoran is a sub-brand of Chongqing Taoranju, one of the top 100 catering companies in the country. It focuses on the new concept of Sichuan cuisine. It is based on Sichuan cuisine and based on innovation. The chefs in the store start with "new" and create the image of Xintaoran through visual innovation, experience innovation, and dishes. This name is in the same line as Yinranju, and it has the expectation of giving customers the meaning of "waiting for the chrysanthemum yellow family to brew it well, and sharing the wine with you."

That day, we ordered several dishes such as Hedu fresh perch, crispy denim bones, Taoran spicy snails, ston-cooked Wushan potatoes, steam pot bean sprouts meatballs, pepper ribs, Leibo eggplant preserved eggs, and lotus glutinous pork ribs. The color, aroma and taste are all excellent.

Chongqing's local cuisine, in addition to its unique cooking method, is also very particular about the materials used. For example, the stone-cooked Wushan potatoes in the picture above must be Wushan potatoes. Locals call them potatoes. Wushan has a high altitude, sufficient light, and a large temperature difference between day and night. Therefore, local potatoes have much higher starch content than ordinary potatoes, and they taste different.

Hedu fresh perch, use fresh Hedu perch and adopt authentic Chongqing Jianghu cuisine. The spiciousness is slightly reduced, making it more in line with the tastes of foreign tourists. The fish is tender and tender, and the taste is very delicious.

"Spicy field snails" are the famous dish and signature dish of Taoranju, and are also a famous dish in Chongqing, so when you arrive in Xintaoran, you must not miss it. According to the staff, the cooking requirements of "Spicy field snails" are extremely strict. First of all, the selection of raw and auxiliary materials must be strictly controlled, and fresh and sand-free field snails are the first choice; secondly, the oil temperature must be properly controlled when frying; thirdly, the process requirements for adding ingredients are precise; the color requirements of the fourth dish at the time of loading are the most exquisite.

Food recommendation: Chongqing Hotpot-Sister Pei's Old Hotpot

No hot pot, no Chongqing. When you arrive in Chongqing, you must have a meal of hot pot. This is an authentic Chongqing hot pot brand with a history dating back to the Republic of China. It is also a famous online hot pot in Chongqing. In recent years, it has won the hot pot category many times on the Internet. First place in the queue, first place in the Chongqing Top 100 Hot Pot Competition, first place in a certain Baoshuang 12-flavor track... and many other honors.

Chongqing hot pot is called tripe hot pot by many people, so tripe is a must-order. Sister Pei's tripe is called Slaughterhouse Fresh Tripe. It is said that it is supplied fresh and directly by the slaughterhouse every morning. It melts into the mouth and makes it delicate and crisp.

Big knife waist slices are another dish I like to eat. Each piece is as big as a palm and as thin as paper. When placed in a pot, it can be eaten quickly. In Chongqing's saying: it's so fresh that it will lose eyebrows, and it's so crisp that it bites your tongue.

I believe that many people will order duck sausage when eating hot pot. First, it is very easy to cook. Put it into the pot for a few or two, watch it open and dip it with seasonings, and you can eat it. The freshness and tenderness of the duck sausage will collide with the hemp and spicy taste of the hot pot. The crispy taste in the mouth makes people can't stop it.

County flowers, luncheon meat, and Xuewang are all very good hot pot products, especially the county flowers. After careful carving by the chef, they are cut like flowers with a knife, and put in red soup to cook slowly. They taste both powerful and delicious; The lunch meat is full of meat and chewy. Chongqing people usually eat blood dumplings by putting them in a cold pan and boiling them with water.

Tribute meatballs are crunchy and crunchy. They have both the unique flavor of meatballs and the unique crispness and aroma of tribute vegetables. It is said that when Liu Yifei came to the store, she ordered two servings at a time. It is a star dish in the store and can sell millions of pills a year.

The fish roe and shrimp are slippery. Use wild sea shrimp to make shrimp paste, and then dotted with red spring fish roe. After cooking, the smooth and tender shrimp meat blends with the cool fish roe, and the taste is instantly beautiful at the entrance. Spread the taste buds. Coupled with the heart-shaped appearance, it would look more romantic if a couple came to eat it. In addition, we also ordered some fat beef, spicy beef, eight-second potato flower, chrysanthemum, tribute vegetables, seaweed, bamboo shoots, lotus root slices and other dishes. The bottom of the pot was a super spicy Jiugong grid, which was really delicious.

Hot pot is the collision of spicy and delicious aroma. As the hot soup rolls, various ingredients release their original flavor inside. It flaunts the spicy character of Chongqing people who dare to love and hate, which is spicy and numb. The spicy food makes you crazy, and the numb makes you feel smoother. You eat hot pot, but you taste Chongqing's urban culture and character.

Sister Pei Hot Pot is located on the second floor of Raffles in Chongqing. The view is open, and the window is the bustling Nanbin Road and the rolling Yangtze River. Eating hot pot here can not only satisfy the picky taste buds, but also gain visual enjoyment. Enjoy the scenery while chatting, this is what traveling or living in Chongqing should be like.

Food recommendation: Korean cuisine-three-generation barbecue

Yuanzu Third Generation Barbecue is very Korean. Before entering the door, it was attracted by the various Korean signs in front of its house. After entering the house, I found that it revealed the atmosphere of South Korea's old street from the inside out. According to the store's introduction, The design of their store involved the Korean costume drama crew throughout the entire process, and the system restored the street style of South Korea in the 1960s. As far as you can see, there are Korean-style wooden cabins made of wood. There are also black tiles on the roof, and various Korean logos on the doors, windows, and pillars.

The decoration in the store is very exquisite, with every small corner reflecting design ingenuity. There are Korean elements and retro objects everywhere. Walking through it, it is like walking through an alley under the dim light in a Korean drama, looking at these retro The Korean scene with fireworks feels the precipitation of time. Inside, we feel that it is not like a restaurant, but like an experiential attraction. It is as if we may encounter a handsome oppa or a beautiful Korean beauty at the next corner.

According to the staff, the owner of Yuanzu's Third Generation Barbecue is Korean. China's headquarters is in Wuhan. Raffles is the first store in Chongqing. Both the decoration and dishes here reflect the original Korean style. Because we don't know this store, our dishes are recommended by the staff in the store. After sitting down, the beautiful waitress immediately served six starters, which were quail eggs, seaweed, kimchi, fish cake, shredded radish, and peanuts. These small dishes are free and taste very good. If you don't eat enough, you can ask the waiter to add more. Along with these starters, there is also a vegetable plate containing lettuce, cabbage, cucumber leaves, carrot strips, cucumber strips, etc., which are used to wrap the roast meat.

The third generation of Yuanzu's barbecue mainly consisted of Korean barbecue. The six of us ordered thick-cut pork belly, beef tenderloin, snowflake beef, meat patties, etc. Among them, beef tenderloin and roasted snowflake beef are the most recommended because the meat quality is the most delicious and tender. Compared with Chinese barbecue and Brazilian barbecue, Korean barbecue has a more special way to eat. When eating barbecue, it must be eaten with vegetable leaves. Usually, you spread the vegetable leaves in your hand, then sandwich a piece of roast meat, add some Korean kimchi or sauce, and finally gather the vegetable leaves, wrap them into a ball and serve them. The fragrance of the vegetable leaves, the tenderness of the barbecue, and the aroma of the spicy sauce and other ingredients is indeed unique.

The third generation of Yuanzu used electric stoves instead of traditional charcoal stoves, and there was a fume extraction device on top of each oven. Therefore, when dining here, you don't have to worry about the air problem. You can't smell the smoke from the barbecue at all. All you smell is the aroma of the barbecue, which ensures the dining environment well.

The service of the third generation barbecue is very good, comparable to Haidilao in the hot pot industry. Since we entered the store, there has been a waiter standing next to our table and serving us. In fact, this is very important. The electric oven is more efficient. If it is not professional, it is very likely to burn. The waiters in the store have been systematically trained to brush how much oil should they brush? When should I turn it over? How long will it take to cook? When should I change the roasting plate (according to Yufan's observation, I change the roasting plate almost every batch to ensure the quality of the roast meat)? They do their best to hold it, and the grilled meat will be golden and delicious. At the same time, they will cut the grilled meat into small pieces and put it into our plates as needed. Just eat what we want to do!

Food recommendation: Japanese cuisine-Honkiya

Benqijia, located on the fifth floor of Raffles in Chongqing (you can see it from the Shancheng Garden), is an authentic Japanese restaurant with a very good environment and dishes, and we live up to our friends 'recommendations.

Japan is an island country. The Japanese rely on the sea to eat the sea and like seafood products very much, so they immediately served us a seven-grade sashimi. Japanese chefs believe that sashimi is the best dish in formal meals and should be eaten before tasting other dishes to avoid other flavors affecting the taste of sashimi. I am very sincere in the weight and matching of this sashimi platter.

Like sashimi, sushi is another signature of Japanese cuisine, and this signature roll from Honkiya is a classic representative of it, with extremely rich ingredients. Eating sushi is about integrity, which means that the whole piece of sushi must be eaten in one bite. Only in this way can we truly taste the delicacy of sushi. Only then can the aroma of sushi and the aroma of sashimi completely blend, filling the gaps between our teeth and cheeks. Without leaving a gap, the strong taste has nowhere to escape, and it lingers in the mouth for a long time. The fish roe on this signature roll is the highlight. After entering it, it is like dancing in the mouth. It is extremely wonderful.

Tang Yang fried chicken (Tang Yang), some people also like to call it Japanese fried chicken. Japanese people love fried food. On the one hand, it tastes good when cooled. On the other hand, the smell of fried food does not easily affect others. Therefore, fried food is very popular in Japanese cuisine.

As a Chongqing native, I have never forgotten to order hot pot when eating Japanese dishes. Although Chongqing hot pot is very famous, hot pot is not unique to Chongqing. In fact, Japanese hot pot also has a great history. Not only has a long history, but also has a meticulous soup base and a wide variety, such as the common Sukiyaki hot pot, seafood hot pot, Shanshan hot pot, etc., but the materials are far less bold than Chongqing hot pot, and most of them are seafood, beef, and mutton.

In terms of the choice of the bottom of the pot, we did not choose the traditional Japanese Suki-pot, Shanchan pot or seafood pot. Instead, we chose an innovative pot bottom that was very distinctive. In form, it borrowed from Chongqing's Yuanyang pot. The pot bottom also incorporates Southeast Asian elements. It is curry on one side and tom yum on the other. Tonyumongong Shabu. Yu Fan felt that it was better to call it Curry tom yum. It was really a diversified food experience, color, aroma, and praise. Although tom yum was also spicy, it was much milder than Chongqing's spicy hot pot. In the end, everyone drank all the soup.

Food recommendation: Vietnamese cuisine-Da Nang

Da Nang is located on the fifth floor of Raffles, Chongqing. It is opposite the Japanese cuisine mentioned earlier and can be seen from the Shancheng Garden. Because Vietnamese people advocate green, just as men wearing green hats can often be seen on the streets of Vietnam, Chongqing Raffles 'Danang decoration style is also based on green, with a small and fresh feeling. Chandeliers, doors and windows are very distinctive and very suitable for young girls to check in.

Due to the hot climate in Vietnam, Vietnamese food is mainly light. It combines the food culture of Western countries such as China, Thailand, Malaysia and France to form a Vietnamese flavor with a rather unique taste. Compared with other Southeast Asian cuisine, Vietnamese food tastes more refreshing and smooth; compared with Chinese food, Vietnamese food has more exotic flavors; compared with Western food, Vietnamese food is more good at using various spices. The picture above is the lime mint soda drink we ordered. What is very interesting is that it is not a prepared drink. Instead, we are served with a bottle of soda water, a cup of honey, a cup with lemon mint and ice cubes. Mix whatever sweetness you need. If you don't like it too cold, you can also use ice cubes. It can be said that it is very humane.

Let's talk about the dishes we ate. The picture above shows the gold medal charge-grilled secret pork neck meat. This is a typical Vietnamese dish with charge-grilled pork neck and a special sauce. When you pick up a piece of meat in the mouth, the pork with lean fat is very tender and tender, the outside is slightly crispy, the entrance is flexible and chewy, and every bite is full of gravy. The aroma of charcoal roasting fills the mouth, which is very enjoyable.

Vietnam Locomotive Soup Pho contains beef, Chaoshan hand-beaten beef meatballs, tripe, pho, etc. For a qualified foodie, there is actually a lot of emphasis on how to eat this bowl of pho. It is best to drink the soup while it is hot and enjoy the satisfaction of being filled with fresh beef soup. According to your personal taste, add appropriate amount of lime juice, pepper rings, mint leaves and other refreshing spices, and then mix it, and mix it up along the beef soup containing multiple spices. Bashi is in trouble.

tom yum shrimp soup contains mixed mushrooms, lime juice, peppers, wrinkled lemon leaves, coriander and other ingredients. With the big-head shrimp shipped from Vietnam, it is sour and spicy. The taste of tom yum is very authentic. Yu Fan specially scooped a small bowl to drink it, which was very enjoyable.

This coconut green tom yum fried rice is also served with a cup of original coconut juice poured out of coconut green. Judging from the taste of this rice, it should contain squid, shrimp, lemongrongongale, pepper, coconut meat. There is also a secret sauce with unknown formula. It costs 52 yuan each, which is quite good.

Da Nang Minglu Spicy Sea Perch. At first glance, there are a lot of peppers on it. If you don't know about it, you might think it's an authentic Chongqing dish. However, the taste is very different. Although it's quite spicy, it's different in terms of spices. It contains fish sauce, lemongrass, lime, mashed garlic, etc., but it is very suitable for Chongqing people. It should be a best-selling dish in the store. The price is 98 yuan, and I personally think it's okay.

The spicy taste is small eight feet. I think it is a bit like Chongqing-style seafood. It is spicy, delicious and fresh. However, unlike ordinary seafood, in addition to the spicy taste, it also contains coconut sugar and lime juice. When you eat it, you will not only be spicy, but also a sour and sweet taste that fills your mouth. Overall, Vietnamese food in Da Nang is still very good.

Accommodation recommendation: Intercontinental Raffles Chongqing

As Yu Fan mentioned earlier, Chongqing Raffles is a large-scale urban complex with an investment of 24 billion yuan. It can solve all tourists 'needs for food, accommodation, transportation, travel, shopping and entertainment during travel in a one-stop manner. Not only can you view views, check in, eat, watch movies, visit museums, and shop. It is best to live in it directly. As the saying goes, it is better to appreciate landmarks than live in landmarks. Chongqing Raffles currently has two major accommodation options. One is Ascott, which is in the same line as Raffles (which belongs to Singapore CapitaLand Group as Raffles), and the other is the international luxury five-star hotel owned by IHG-Intercontinental Raffles Hotel Chongqing.

We chose the Intercontinental Raffles Chongqing. The hotel has a reception hall on Jiesheng Street on the LG floor. There is a warm service staff who leads it to a dedicated elevator on the side and leads it to the 42nd floor. This is the world's longest horizontal skyscraper-the Raffles Crystal Corridor. The hotel's lobby is located here. As you can see from the picture above, there are full-floor glass windows on both sides of the lobby, with excellent lighting and views. The hotel's front desk is located in the middle of the crystal corridor. It is oval in shape, and the luxurious style that looks tall and looks like it comes to your face.

The rooms at Raffles Intercontinental Hotel are located at the height of the 44th to 65th floors. There are a total of 380 luxury rooms and suites. What I want is the executive room on the 49th floor. I swipe my card into the room, and the fully automatic curtains and screens will slowly open, and then I will appear in front of my eyes are two oversized floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Looking at the configuration of the room, Dyson hair dryer, smart toilet, Tivoli Bluetooth slightly, wireless charging equipment and smart TV system iStudio are all international brands, and they are full of technology. The toiletries are Ferragamo imported from Italy. It is worthy of being an international luxury five-star hotel. Also, look at the bathtub in the picture above. The space is not very large, but the location is really great. The window is the Yangtze River and the opposite is the bustling Nanbin Road. Taking a bath here is definitely a enjoyment.

Walking into the door, there was a welcome message with my name written on the TV, a welcome card from the general manager of the hotel on the counter, and a plate of fresh welcome fruits, including bananas, oranges, grapes, oranges, and longans. There are many varieties and quantities. There are also three bags of Chongqing specialties on the side, namely oddly flavored peas, hemp flowers, and spicy beef. This welcome gift is sincere enough.

When I returned to the hotel in the evening, the waiter opened the turndown and gave me some small gifts such as a peace of mind bag and bookmarks. From this perspective, I can better appreciate the amazing view of the room, looking at the Yangtze River and Nanshan Mountain while looking at the Jialing River and Jiangbeizui. A resting sofa and a workbench are placed next to the window. Whether you are resting or working at your desk, you can see the beautiful scenery of Chongqing's bustling two rivers with your hands and feet. Coupled with the high-speed wireless network, you can have a good experience whether you are working on a business trip or leisure vacation.

It is worth mentioning that the room not only has regular tea bag configurations, but also a Nespresso coffee machine, some capsule coffee, and a bottle of red wine. Under the counter is the Mimi Bar, which has more food and drinks in it. However, there is a charge for the products of the Mimi Bar.

If you like to exercise every day, especially when you are out, there is a special gym on the 43rd floor of the hotel. The equipment inside is not only imported brands, but also has a variety of categories comparable to ordinary fitness clubs.

Next to the gym, there is an indoor swimming pool with views on three sides. It is managed by someone. The water quality is definitely much better than those commercial swimming pools, and it is also a good place to take a sunrise.

The hotel's breakfast is on the crystal corridor of Raffles. It is a veritable Hanging Garden restaurant. The name of this restaurant is Chonglin. Whether it is the environment or the decoration, they are all very powerful.

At an altitude of 250 meters, there are green trees inside, and some graffiti trucks are also placed. The staff said that this design restores the traditional outdoor family dining atmosphere of the mountain city, with Chongqing characteristics graffiti, street-style trucks and rustic wooden tables and chairs are cleverly distributed in the restaurant, bringing guests to the fireworks streets and alleys of Chongqing to experience the vivid urban daily life.

When dining, I like to sit by the window and bathe in the warm sun. While enjoying the delicious food brought by international celebrity chefs, I can enjoy the bustling urban landscape of Yuzhong Peninsula.

On the other side of the lobby is the "Jing", which combines Chinese food and bar design. Its design concept is to reshape the catering experience and social gatherings in a new and modern way; we did not eat inside, but drank afternoon tea inside. After looking at the menu inside, it includes luxury seafood dishes, classic Cantonese dim sum and must-miss local Sichuan cuisine. You can experience Hong Kong and Cantonese specialties and Chongqing local cuisine brought by the fusion of ingenuity and contemporary refined cuisine.

The design inside is full of geometric lines. Judging from the bar, it belongs to a typical bar style. There are also bartenders on site who can concoct various cocktails and drinks according to guests 'needs.

In the afternoon, a friend came to see me and thought the environment here was good, so I asked for afternoon tea. While eating and chatting with my friends, I could also enjoy the scenery. Overlooking from an altitude of 250 meters, I felt like I was at the top of the mountain. It felt like I had a glimpse of the small mountains.

PostScript

We spent two days in Chongqing Raffles. In fact, we only played a very small part. It was really big, including food, drinking, playing, and entertainment. I think it was very good to spend a few days here during the short holiday. Food and accommodation are all in it, saving the fatigue of traveling and commuting, and there is no trouble of changing trains or traffic jams. You can play with peace and relax, enjoy yourself, see the most beautiful urban scenery, eat the food you want most, and go to the massage shop when you are tired. Relax, if you are hungry, you can go to the restaurant you want to eat.

What needs to be told in particular is that the transportation here is really convenient and not troublesome at all. On the LG floor of Chongqing Raffles, there are the city terminal of Chongqing Jiangbei Airport, the high-speed rail city waiting hall, and the tourist center. Whether you are flying to Chongqing or taking the high-speed rail to Chongqing, there are direct express buses to and from Raffles. You can completely use this as the starting point for your travel to Chongqing. After you come from the airport or train station, no matter how long you spend in Raffles, it's okay. If you want to go to other places in Chongqing after playing Raffles, it is very convenient. Not only Jiefangbei, Hongyadong, Grand Theater, Liziba Light Rail Station, Huguang Guild Hall, Chongqing People's Auditorium, Yangtze River Cableway, etc., many other Internet celebrity attractions are close at hand, and Raffles also has a Chaotianmen Bus Terminal Station. Dozens of bus lines reach all areas of Chongqing's main city. If you don't want to take a bus, Raffles also has a subway station (It seems that it has not been opened yet), but it is also very close to Xiaoshizi Station.

Simply put, at the Airport City Market Terminal on the LG floor of Raffles, you can enjoy the following high-quality services:

★ Exchange a boarding pass and check in for baggage (the following circumstances cannot be checked: international flights, Western, Spring and Autumn, Nine Yuan Airlines, excess baggage and airline VIP points cards cannot be checked in)

★ Buy bullet train tickets (children's tickets and student tickets cannot be purchased for the time being, and foreigners are not supported to buy bullet train tickets with their passports)

★ Take the shuttle bus and truly free your hands to the airport (35 yuan to Jiangbei Airport, about 40 minutes; 35 minutes to Chongqing North Railway Station, about 50 minutes)
