On April 9th, TotalAdventure arrived in Chongqing, the world’s largest city with a metro area of over 50 million people. It was my first voyage to the People’s Republic since 2014. Above is the Grand Theater.

Chongqing has become world famous for its’ fantastic building light shows, though Shanghai’s architecture is more impressive.

April is a perfect time to visit, as the summer can be ferociously hot at 40 C. In general it was about 25 to 30 by day and about 20 at night.

A midnight meal of delicious yak noodle soup and a cold beer for 35 RMB, around US 5. One needs a minimum of 3 days to explore the world’s largest city, but could easily spend weeks seeking all its’ corners.
