Be captivated by stunning architectural features, such as the monorail that runs directly through residential buildings, a testament to the city's innovative planning. Immerse yourself in the city’s rich Bayu culture and history by exploring the charming, preserved alleyways and ancient centres. While you're there, you must sample the region’s most iconic culinary delight: the fiery and flavourful Chongqing hotpot, famed for its distinct spicy-numb sensation.
