Taste the mountain city: an 8D magical journey on the tip of your tongue
If you want to choose a city that is worth a special trip just for the food, Chongqing will definitely be on the list.
Not only is there a cyberpunk city that presents an 8D magical terrain, but it is also a place that hides the heroic feelings of the world and reveals the gentle charm of the years.
This taste memory with a hot and spicy flavor is far more haunting than the bright lights of the existence called Hongya Cave.
Spicy and delicious: a pot of red soup to cook all kinds of flavors
"Taste in Chongqing" fully demonstrates Chongqing's crucial position in the field of food, and "food in Sichuan" also appropriately conveys Chongqing's well-deserved king status in the world of food.
This city thrives on water, and the wharf culture gives the food a rough and bold soul.
In the atmosphere of any old hot pot restaurant, what you see in front of you is the nine-square grid showing the tumbling state of Sichuan peppercorns and sea peppers. What hits your nostrils is not only the mellow smell of butter, but also the passion and straightforward personality that are naturally revealed in the bones of Chongqing people.
Here, the tender tripe has been sublimated in this pot of scalding red soup, the crispy duck intestines have also been sublimated in this pot of scalding red soup, and the brains that have absorbed the soup have also been sublimated in this pot of scalding red soup. What you eat is not only the taste, but also the refreshing Jianghu gas that drips with sweat.
Tracking in the streets: from early morning noodles to late night barbecue
The charm of Chongqing lies in the daily taste scattered in the streets and alleys of the mountain city .
In the early morning, I was awakened by a bowl of Chongqing-style noodles. The noodles had an indescribably chewy texture, and were mixed with red oil and bean sprouts. Although this combination is simple and ordinary, it can directly touch the feeling of the soul deep in the heart.
Walking in Ciqikou Ancient Town, there is always a long queue in front of the Chen Mahua shop. The aroma of hot and sour noodles is wafting in the streets and alleys. It always makes people stop and watch the master use a slotted spoon to make bowls of sour and refreshing Q bombs. This scene is so tempting and irresistible.
At night, the Bayi Food Street is crowded and noisy. The roasted brains exude a spicy aroma, the Shancheng glutinous rice balls have a sweet and sweet taste, and the roasted sweet potato skins are extra crispy and tender inside. These skewered with bamboo skewers are not just snacks, but also the fireworks of this vibrant city that never sleeps.
Cultural immersion: Taste the urban context in spicy food
Food is the best key to Chongqing’s culture.
Sit in an old teahouse to watch a wonderful Sichuan Opera Face-Changing performance, with a cup of Laoyin tea that can relieve fatigue. The unique skills on the stage and the cheers from the audience are intertwined to form the most authentic picture of the city.
But when you stand at the Chaotianmen Wharf and look at the confluence of the two rivers, you can then realize the historical roots of this spicy taste. In the past, boat trackers used Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers to remove dampness and cold, and relied on "big pot stew" to create dishes like Maoxuewang that originated from the wharf.
This unique wharf culture adds a layer of history to every bite of spicy food.
Flavor Coordinates: A must-visit place to follow your taste buds
If you want to experience this delicious food in depth, you might as well eat while walking along the classic tourist route.
Starting from the bustling Jiefangbei business district, we went to observe the unique sight of the Liziba light rail passing through the building. Then we entered the nearby old residential buildings to find a unique fly restaurant. After admiring the uncanny scenery of the Wulong Tiansheng Third Bridge, we returned and tasted a fresh and tender river fish in the quiet and beautiful environment of Wujiang Gallery.
Just like what local travel expert Qiqi planned for us, a 4-day and 3-night trip costs only more than 600 yuan per person, but it can cover all the key attractions and authentic delicacies, from hot pot to Jianghu cuisine, from street food to traditional snacks, without leaving any regrets.
Chongqing, a city that makes people come back again and again, conquers every picky taste bud with its spicy and delicious flavor. This is the conclusion.
This trip was not a hurried one, but a leisurely one. Walking slowly and eating, you could deeply feel the charm of the mountain city.
