imagine you're jetlagged and try to get to your hotel room in this city. you might as well spend the first two nights living on the streets while looking up your hotel building.
Once I went there at night the taxi driver took 20 minutes and get me across the street just from where I get in, I guess it's how metromountainpolis works and accept my life
Arrived downtown Chongqing at 2300 on my first visit. Without local couple walking their dog and taking me to the hotel I'd still be looking for it. Incredibly helpful people including immigration and police. Great place.
Let me explain why Peter spent $1,300 at KTV. In China, the cost of drinks and snacks at KTV is generally acceptable, around $100-200 for 4-5 people. However, some KTVs offer singing services with girls, and you need to pay a tip of about $150-200 for each girl. This is part of a gray area that isn't fully legal in China, which is why Peter didn’t record everything in the video. LOL

There is a hot pot restaurant in Chongqing that can accommodate 8000 people. Business is very hot. You can try. Very shocking. Its name is loquat garden. It can be searched online.
The people in this city are too relaxed. Chinese people exaggerate by saying that you can hear the sound of mahjong and poker when flying over Chongqing
@@可乐啊-u8o this restaurant is fucking bad.my hometown is Chongqing, and for me, this restaurant doesn't have the delicious food and is also very expensive
A hotel in the backyard of Ruose Church few blocks away costs only $20, with the view of church roof surrounded by skyscrapers it is a gothan dream but rooms are more modest than this one
Anyone who's seen Blade Runner 1 and 2 will immediately recognize this city. Except for the weather and the lack of noir vibes. But it's just as fascinating!
Actually the city is famous for mosit and humid weather, it's the capital of fog, a lot of times you get neons and skyscrapers soaring from haze rain drops and old crowded concret valleys exactly the vibes in that movie
How creative and funny your filming and editing is! Now I can understand why so many people like your video because it tells the story in a totally different way. Hope you enjoy your stay in China! Welcome back!
idk man those videos with the "oh look im on the ground floor but wait nevermind its the 22th" went viral af on insta same ad those where the ambulance people had to carry people down some stairs because they couldnt work anymore there is a pair of stairs to a temple where you probabbly neeed to be an olympic runner to reach the top
The foot massage part is so hilarious that reminds me of "The 40 years old virgin". I watched this part at work and laughed so hard that my co-workers gave me wired looks.
You are so screwed with the youtube algorithm it's crazy. So much work put into this video to create content like no other. I felt the need to make this humble donation as I consider the number of views strikingly not adequate and I don't want you to go kurwa bankrupt! Much love!
$50 per night for that room is Unbelieveable! Even in cheaper nations $50 per night hotels are mostly overpriced, sometimes even without an "okay" city view at all.

@@justSayKnow411 It should not only be that some girls accompanied for entertainment, but also some inappropriate things for children were done. Otherwise, the money was cheated by the local unscrupulous store. After all, these things are all gray industries in China.
Many foreigners came here and made the videos about this super huge city, but I would say you are the best one who did the great narrative with the history of it, loved it so much, subscribed 👍👍👍
When I visited Chongqing in August, the locals clarified that the actual inner city-the area featured in most videos-has a population of about 7 million. That was the impression I got too. It’s still a massive and impressive city, but it’s not the 32-million-strong mega-city it’s often portrayed as. The 32 million figure includes the entire Chongqing municipality, which spans a vast area about the size of Austria, encompassing many rural regions and smaller urban clusters. If you look at Google Earth, you’ll notice that the dense architecture seen in the city center isn’t spread uniformly across the entire district. This distinction is often overlooked, leading to some misleading portrayals of Chongqing’s size.

Okay, normally I don't write comments, but this series is awesome. Finally something "new" and exciting. You never really get anything good from China in the media, but to see this from you and also to be shown this "city" is really great :D Please, let there be many more episodes from China :)
Well actually, China does have a great culture and friendly people like other countries, its just that there are issues with their government. Its like that with every country regardless Edit: I am aware I started an entire war in the comment section. I never intended to start a war. I agree with the OP that there are many interesting things about that country. I am aware that of course, China isnt as much as a cyberbunk dystopia that many westerners claim. However, its important to recognize there are problems with the government and that holds true for every country in the world. Maybe yes, you can claim people are satisfied with their government, but as long as they can fullfill their basic needs; they wont question anything else. The reason why other countries are facing opposition from their people is because they let the cracks slip through. I respect your opinion if you think the government is good. After all, it is subjective. However, be mindful and think before you bash on me and say I spread "stereotypes" or immediately compare to the US. I dislike people who act like there are only two sides to the situation - that I have to pick one side and get flammed by the other. I either have to side with one country and attack the other. Its easy for people to shamlessly press the like button on ad hominems and attacks You assume that I side with the US just because I say that, but have you even considered that I disagree with both of their political systems? Have you considered that you can still appreciate a country whilst understanding its flaws? Have you considered that I'm not even from the west at all? Even people from the east do understand there are problems with their government. You act like United States is the only country with big problems, when many countries have problems just as big as the United States. You just never hear about it. Japan may look "kawaii", but it has a toxic work culture and insane levels of perfectionism. South Korea may look amazing, but it has perfectionism problems and corruption from Samsung You also act like western media is the most evil and biased media, but even non-western media is just as biased, but in different ways. My point is that there is no such thing as "best country" or "X country does it better than anyone". Everyone has their good and bad moments and we should hold them to fair standards If someone sugarcoats how good the United States is and someone comments about "how the eastern media is simply too biased". You would obviously disagree, because you seen the homeless and corruption I do agree that the media can be biased at times, but just because they are does not mean legitimate criticism with evidence should be undermined
@@bumblebeegamerreal Please understand that this is a very typical ignorant type of comment made by westerners. The Chinese people are the happiest on earth and happiest with their government, according to surveys done on the ground over many years by western institutions. Don't make assumptions about the governance of other countries just because they do not practise your style of "democracy".
@@bumblebeegamerrealgovernment is always a camouflage for underneath racism mentality. like how Chinese government directly did anything to you if you really think about it, if Chinese people are not overturning it, why the heck would anyone else have even a stronger opinion?
Chongqing! My hometown, I love this place so much :) Most of the things you showed in the video I didn't even know were unusual, I was so used to it in China.
I lived in China more than 15 years, I was based in Shanghai, great city, and was traveling everywhere. I remember Chongqing, been there twice, first time was impressed by the view on the main group of skyscrapers at night, second time I was scared thinking about an eventual earthquake could happen … I think Chongqing has a very strong vibration but not in the good way …
Right now, I'm extremely frustrated because this is genuinely high-quality content, but it doesn't have enough views and likes. This video deserves more. It even has a storyline 😱
So I did some googling and looking at the map and I think the reason why Chongqing is the largest city is because of the difference of how Tokyo and Chongqing are divided. Greater Tokyo could be classed entirely as a proper city (it's a single continious mass deep inland), but considering how it formed, it's made up of smaller cities. Greater Tokyo in my opinion is still the largest city, but only by 5 million. It's odd how many unknowm 20-30M cities China has
CNN and BBC said: China has no human rights and freedoms. The streets are full of CCTV. Be careful that the Communist Party arrests tourists for no reason. Western media also say that Chinese people love to eat dog meat and bat meat , Be careful if you eat it without knowing it
@@Fartsniffer11-xm4rf definition of the city and way of measure city just different you can check Wikipedia there's 3 way measure city but overall size wise and population it's the biggest
Thanks! Peter, I just discovered you and I only wish I had more. I was tripping on shrooms when I watched this. I cannot believe I came across such COMIC GOLD ! I had seen pictures of CHUNGKING as it was known in U$$A in the 60's before the language reforms in Chinese/English, and it was a dump. I thought you were Argentine/Italian. And I find out you are Slovak. Met one Slovak at my training park during covAIDS 2020. This video and Chongqing is just visually stunning. I cannot believe the Synchronicities and hilarity contained within this video. Much love from NYC. 🧡🧡🧡💛💛💛💚💚💚
I dont believe those 1300 euro, especially with Pavel, he live in China almost 15 years, I live in China more then 2 year, was on karaoke and we paid around 15 euro for one hour (without girls) I dont know what they did with those girls there, but even if they were a "light girls" so its still tooooo much
@@lobospoutany1 The karaoke with and without girls are different business in China. With girls calls "Business karaoke", they for the business guys who want to enjoy the partners. Without girls calls "Mass Sales karaoke“, they for normal people have fun with friends and families. The business karaoke always very expensive, you have to pay a lot for girls and service, arround 2k-3k RMB for one guest as average.
Pete went to a 'business karaoke', which is different from popular karaoke. He needs to pay extra money to those girls because it's like asking them to accompany you to drink, so he has to pay them extra labor costs. This is normal in China
I'm sorry, but its not quite true that Chongqing is thelargest city in the world by population and area. Its because Chongqing is an administrative region that includes a massive area with many rural parts and small towns. When comparing just the urban populations, cities like Tokyo and Shanghai are much larger. Similarly, in terms of the actual urban area, cities like New York and Beijing are bigger. So, while Chongqing's administrative region is indeed vast and populous, its actual urban core isn't the largest by either population or area.
Its a good example of why "largest city" is a meaningless comparison, as what we define as one city is not really consistent. Chongqing and Paris are the polar oppposites. Chongqing administration includes many rural areas as you defined, meanwhile Paris refuses to officially extend (like Berlin for example), thus the official city is deceively small tiny compared to the urban area. And tokyo is a whole another mess
@@HelloOnepiece Considering Berlin already is a citystate, it doesnt make sense to expand as it would then interfere with the state surrounding it. Maybe i misunderstood what you tried to say though.
@@Wolfremmi Thats exactly what I meant though, in case of Berlin they expanded its administrative zone, since this way it was easier to manage workers coming in from nearby villages. In a sense Berlin ate up parts of Branderburg. I think it is the most noticeable in Spandau, where aside from the U bahn line, for everyday people, life is still like in an independent small town.

Sorry I’m only seeing this now :( I still wouldn’t know it as the episode was filmed in April and I’m not very good at remembering Chinese names. Again, sorry I couldn’t be of more help!
China is like the whole Europe combined into one giant country! It’s truly immense and diverse, plus it has over 5000 years of continuous history, over 3000 years of which were recorded by historians!
ive seen content about chongqing before, it has definitely become my #1 destination if I were to go to china. I have to say, this was a great little review. you make great content!
Love your video! I am from CQ, now I am in Shanghai and I been to LA, NY, Chicago, Dallas and even a small town called Shelton in Connecticut and I love to see that someone actually made a video to introduce my hometown from a different angle as you all know how hard to let the world know the details of China.
Well done. The quality of this video is phenomenal. Bourdain will always be my favourite travel host but Peter is my second. Thank you for this amazing video.
this video is absolutely amazing. Not only peter himself and the way he presents interesting and bizarre stuff but also the filming and editing. It’s even like Top Gear. Brilliant, mate. Love to see more!
To be honest, this is a question of urban administrative division. This city is equivalent to a province, with an area of nearly 90,000 square kilometers, which is not considered a city. If divided according to the urban population of the metropolitan area, this city is about 16M
Just out of curiosity, in Brazil there is a city with 159,533 square kilometers. but its population is extremely small due to its location in a region of the Amazon rainforest
Thank to China's poor job in tourism publicity along with western medias' suppression of China. Actually Chongqing is a famous city in China and was the wartime capital city during WWII.
You need to upload more often-talk, sing, dance, do something. You could be a multimillionaire easily due to the quality of your videos if you uploaded more, you are brilliant. By the way…I loved your book…I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it.

That's probably the BEST intro video of Chongqing I've ever seen on Chinese video sites and youtube...Super insightful! In your video, Chongqing is Quirky but dangerously attractive.
Chongqing is one of the four *municipal cities of China together with Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. It is unofficially* a first tier city. Chongqing (pronunciation - Chon-chin) is an ancient city. I was there in 1992...seeing your video I can see that the city has progressed so much beyond my expectation, I will revisit it again.
Haha, I saw your video on TikTok in China. The production was very entertaining and professional. welcome to China. Each province in China has a different style. Chongqing is a medium-paced city. If you prefer a slower pace, there are plenty of cities. You can also choose a city based on your favorite food, such as meat and seafood. You can also choose a city based on your favorite weather. If you encounter problems, you can turn to anyone for help, but you need to use a translator to communicate with them. You don’t need to worry about safety issues at any time and anywhere in China. I wish you a happy journey.
I lived there for 6 months! The city is so big that you don’t need to leave your own district, cause each district is a million people city by itself!

@@可乐啊-u8o this restaurant is fucking bad.my hometown is Chongqing, and for me, this restaurant doesn't have the delicious food and is also very expensive
Don't waste your time and money going there, not half of what is pretended to be
Can't tell, I go to sleep at 9 pm. lol
$50 a night for that hotel is definitely good value. Always enjoy your travel vlogs
A hotel in the backyard of Ruose Church few blocks away costs only $20, with the view of church roof surrounded by skyscrapers it is a gothan dream but rooms are more modest than this one
just becarefull with kareoke bar 🤣
Anyone who's seen Blade Runner 1 and 2 will immediately recognize this city. Except for the weather and the lack of noir vibes. But it's just as fascinating!
Actually the city is famous for mosit and humid weather, it's the capital of fog, a lot of times you get neons and skyscrapers soaring from haze rain drops and old crowded concret valleys exactly the vibes in that movie

How creative and funny your filming and editing is! Now I can understand why so many people like your video because it tells the story in a totally different way. Hope you enjoy your stay in China! Welcome back!
The fact that I have actually heard of Chongqing and been there before makes me feel so special.
to put it into perspective, there are 32 million people living there, who also have heard of it and are still there.
Believe me it's really nothing special.
Imagine feeling special for going to china
I read about Chongqing in Quora.
idk man those videos with the "oh look im on the ground floor but wait nevermind its the 22th" went viral af on insta
same ad those where the ambulance people had to carry people down some stairs because they couldnt work anymore
there is a pair of stairs to a temple where you probabbly neeed to be an olympic runner to reach the top
The foot massage part is so hilarious that reminds me of "The 40 years old virgin". I watched this part at work and laughed so hard that my co-workers gave me wired looks.

Welcome to Chongqing ,bro
$50 per night for that room is Unbelieveable! Even in cheaper nations $50 per night hotels are mostly overpriced, sometimes even without an "okay" city view at all.
I traveled around the ŰȘ trying to be on a budget. $80 usually gets me a dingy 2 star motel with drug addicts.

Many foreigners came here and made the videos about this super huge city, but I would say you are the best one who did the great narrative with the history of it, loved it so much, subscribed 👍👍👍
When I visited Chongqing in August, the locals clarified that the actual inner city-the area featured in most videos-has a population of about 7 million. That was the impression I got too. It’s still a massive and impressive city, but it’s not the 32-million-strong mega-city it’s often portrayed as. The 32 million figure includes the entire Chongqing municipality, which spans a vast area about the size of Austria, encompassing many rural regions and smaller urban clusters. If you look at Google Earth, you’ll notice that the dense architecture seen in the city center isn’t spread uniformly across the entire district. This distinction is often overlooked, leading to some misleading portrayals of Chongqing’s size.
I am a native of Chongqing, and your video is absolutely amazing！❤

The dream sequence was incredible; it perfectly captured Chongqing’s surreal, humorous, sometimes hard-to-understand, yet unforgettable essence.

Great Video! Ive been to Shenzen, Guangzhou, and Dongguan which are large , but the level changes in Chongqing would blow my mind
Vlad behaved himself there?? Lol
Chonqqing is only biggest in area because they count all people in the countryside as part of the city😊
What are level changes?
Okay, normally I don't write comments, but this series is awesome. Finally something "new" and exciting. You never really get anything good from China in the media, but to see this from you and also to be shown this "city" is really great :D
Please, let there be many more episodes from China :)
Well actually, China does have a great culture and friendly people like other countries, its just that there are issues with their government.
Its like that with every country regardless
Edit: I am aware I started an entire war in the comment section. I never intended to start a war. I agree with the OP that there are many interesting things about that country. I am aware that of course, China isnt as much as a cyberbunk dystopia that many westerners claim.
However, its important to recognize there are problems with the government and that holds true for every country in the world. Maybe yes, you can claim people are satisfied with their government, but as long as they can fullfill their basic needs; they wont question anything else.
The reason why other countries are facing opposition from their people is because they let the cracks slip through.
I respect your opinion if you think the government is good. After all, it is subjective.
However, be mindful and think before you bash on me and say I spread "stereotypes" or immediately compare to the US.
I dislike people who act like there are only two sides to the situation - that I have to pick one side and get flammed by the other. I either have to side with one country and attack the other. Its easy for people to shamlessly press the like button on ad hominems and attacks
You assume that I side with the US just because I say that, but have you even considered that I disagree with both of their political systems? Have you considered that you can still appreciate a country whilst understanding its flaws?
Have you considered that I'm not even from the west at all?
Even people from the east do understand there are problems with their government.
You act like United States is the only country with big problems, when many countries have problems just as big as the United States. You just never hear about it.
Japan may look "kawaii", but it has a toxic work culture and insane levels of perfectionism.
South Korea may look amazing, but it has perfectionism problems and corruption from Samsung
You also act like western media is the most evil and biased media, but even non-western media is just as biased, but in different ways.
My point is that there is no such thing as "best country" or "X country does it better than anyone". Everyone has their good and bad moments and we should hold them to fair standards
If someone sugarcoats how good the United States is and someone comments about "how the eastern media is simply too biased". You would obviously disagree, because you seen the homeless and corruption
I do agree that the media can be biased at times, but just because they are does not mean legitimate criticism with evidence should be undermined
@@bumblebeegamerreal
What's wrong with the government? Is it a bigger problem than the United States?
@@bumblebeegamerreal Please understand that this is a very typical ignorant type of comment made by westerners. The Chinese people are the happiest on earth and happiest with their government, according to surveys done on the ground over many years by western institutions. Don't make assumptions about the governance of other countries just because they do not practise your style of "democracy".
@@bumblebeegamerreal 對於我們中國人來講我們政府很好 對於中國以外的政府跟媒體來講中國政府那裡都不好
@@bumblebeegamerrealgovernment is always a camouflage for underneath racism mentality.
like how Chinese government directly did anything to you if you really think about it, if Chinese people are not overturning it, why the heck would anyone else have even a stronger opinion?
Chongqing! My hometown, I love this place so much :) Most of the things you showed in the video I didn't even know were unusual, I was so used to it in China.
I lived in China more than 15 years, I was based in Shanghai, great city, and was traveling everywhere. I remember Chongqing, been there twice, first time was impressed by the view on the main group of skyscrapers at night, second time I was scared thinking about an eventual earthquake could happen … I think Chongqing has a very strong vibration but not in the good way …
Chongqing is not in the earthquake zone, so it is very safe, and Chongqing is the only cyber city on earth at 9:43.
It is !
你错了，重庆不在中国的地震带上，所以那里不会发生地震。他的隔壁四川是有地震带的，重庆是当作中国的第二首都来建造的。
Chongqing Shi, China - Most Recent
The largest earthquake in Chongqing: · 4.5 magnitude · 4.6 magnitude · 4.3 magnitude · 4.3 magnitude · 4.3 magnitude · 4.4 magnitude · 4.4 magnitude · 4.2 ...
Right now, I'm extremely frustrated because this is genuinely high-quality content, but it doesn't have enough views and likes. This video deserves more. It even has a storyline 😱
So I did some googling and looking at the map and I think the reason why Chongqing is the largest city is because of the difference of how Tokyo and Chongqing are divided. Greater Tokyo could be classed entirely as a proper city (it's a single continious mass deep inland), but considering how it formed, it's made up of smaller cities.
Greater Tokyo in my opinion is still the largest city, but only by 5 million.
It's odd how many unknowm 20-30M cities China has
Not all of kanto is under Tokyo’s administration
By only 5 million 💀, there are states in usa with less population
Same with India
Chongqing can absorb another 10M people with ease for the next ten years, not sure a good idea though
I think guangzhou should be the no1, with neighbouring huge cities, bcuz they are not divided actually, the city never ends😂
You are really creative with your editing. Good job on the creative transitions!
This video had information, comedy, weird places and everything that makes a great video.
Amazing video
CNN and BBC said: China has no human rights and freedoms. The streets are full of CCTV. Be careful that the Communist Party arrests tourists for no reason. Western media also say that Chinese people love to eat dog meat and bat meat , Be careful if you eat it without knowing it
misinformation, chongqing is the third largest city when the description says its the largest. But yes great video
@@Fartsniffer11-xm4rf definition of the city and way of measure city just different you can check Wikipedia there's 3 way measure city but overall size wise and population it's the biggest
The production is outstanding!!
This is honestly one of Peter’s best videos. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
多謝！
Thanks! Peter, I just discovered you and I only wish I had more. I was tripping on shrooms when I watched this. I cannot believe I came across such COMIC GOLD ! I had seen pictures of CHUNGKING as it was known in U$$A in the 60's before the language reforms in Chinese/English, and it was a dump. I thought you were Argentine/Italian. And I find out you are Slovak. Met one Slovak at my training park during covAIDS 2020. This video and Chongqing is just visually stunning. I cannot believe the Synchronicities and hilarity contained within this video. Much love from NYC. 🧡🧡🧡💛💛💛💚💚💚
50 $ for a luxury hotel room and 1300 for a karaoke. That says a lor about how weird can china be. Piter best youtube storyteller!
I dont believe those 1300 euro, especially with Pavel, he live in China almost 15 years, I live in China more then 2 year, was on karaoke and we paid around 15 euro for one hour (without girls) I dont know what they did with those girls there, but even if they were a "light girls" so its still tooooo much
@@lobospoutany1 The karaoke with and without girls are different business in China. With girls calls "Business karaoke", they for the business guys who want to enjoy the partners. Without girls calls "Mass Sales karaoke“, they for normal people have fun with friends and families. The business karaoke always very expensive, you have to pay a lot for girls and service, arround 2k-3k RMB for one guest as average.
Karaoke self is very afordable like this in China. The price dieffrence is the special service and Alcohol.
I believe Peter and his mates drank some very expensive Chinese liquor (Maotai probably) thinking it's just cheap Vodka
Pete went to a 'business karaoke', which is different from popular karaoke. He needs to pay extra money to those girls because it's like asking them to accompany you to drink, so he has to pay them extra labor costs. This is normal in China
I'm sorry, but its not quite true that Chongqing is thelargest city in the world by population and area. Its because Chongqing is an administrative region that includes a massive area with many rural parts and small towns. When comparing just the urban populations, cities like Tokyo and Shanghai are much larger. Similarly, in terms of the actual urban area, cities like New York and Beijing are bigger. So, while Chongqing's administrative region is indeed vast and populous, its actual urban core isn't the largest by either population or area.
Its a good example of why "largest city" is a meaningless comparison, as what we define as one city is not really consistent. Chongqing and Paris are the polar oppposites. Chongqing administration includes many rural areas as you defined, meanwhile Paris refuses to officially extend (like Berlin for example), thus the official city is deceively small tiny compared to the urban area. And tokyo is a whole another mess
its impossible to make the whole chongqing connected because of the mountains seperating it
@@archorblx1130 Yes, but 70% of the residents live in rural areas, it's not a city.
@@HelloOnepiece Considering Berlin already is a citystate, it doesnt make sense to expand as it would then interfere with the state surrounding it. Maybe i misunderstood what you tried to say though.
@@Wolfremmi Thats exactly what I meant though, in case of Berlin they expanded its administrative zone, since this way it was easier to manage workers coming in from nearby villages. In a sense Berlin ate up parts of Branderburg. I think it is the most noticeable in Spandau, where aside from the U bahn line, for everyday people, life is still like in an independent small town.
Peter! Again brilliant content, positive twists. Too much negativity about. Thank you for your professional.and entertaining videos brother! Love from minto in the UK
You're right, I have never heard of this city before.... It is absolutely fascinating this is a wonderful video

Sorry I’m only seeing this now :( I still wouldn’t know it as the episode was filmed in April and I’m not very good at remembering Chinese names. Again, sorry I couldn’t be of more help!
Wow, that was amazing. Your videos are getting better and better.
China is like the whole Europe combined into one giant country! It’s truly immense and diverse, plus it has over 5000 years of continuous history, over 3000 years of which were recorded by historians!
So true!
The whole Europe plus the Western Asia
Some historians say that China is a civilization disguised as a country.

Love your video! I am from CQ, now I am in Shanghai and I been to LA, NY, Chicago, Dallas and even a small town called Shelton in Connecticut and I love to see that someone actually made a video to introduce my hometown from a different angle as you all know how hard to let the world know the details of China.
Well done. The quality of this video is phenomenal. Bourdain will always be my favourite travel host but Peter is my second. Thank you for this amazing video.

this video is absolutely amazing. Not only peter himself and the way he presents interesting and bizarre stuff but also the filming and editing. It’s even like Top Gear. Brilliant, mate. Love to see more!
To be honest, this is a question of urban administrative division. This city is equivalent to a province, with an area of nearly 90,000 square kilometers, which is not considered a city. If divided according to the urban population of the metropolitan area, this city is about 16M
Just out of curiosity, in Brazil there is a city with 159,533 square kilometers. but its population is extremely small due to its location in a region of the Amazon rainforest
This is peak vloging Peťo! Neskutočné! 👏

Chongqing is one of the four *municipal cities of China together with Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. It is unofficially* a first tier city.
Chongqing (pronunciation - Chon-chin) is an ancient city. I was there in 1992...seeing your video I can see that the city has progressed so much beyond my expectation, I will revisit it again.
Thanking the algorithm for suggesting this video to me. Liked and subscribed

Great video, excited for the continuation of the China series as I’ve been really enjoying it
Haha, I saw your video on TikTok in China. The production was very entertaining and professional. welcome to China. Each province in China has a different style. Chongqing is a medium-paced city. If you prefer a slower pace, there are plenty of cities. You can also choose a city based on your favorite food, such as meat and seafood. You can also choose a city based on your favorite weather. If you encounter problems, you can turn to anyone for help, but you need to use a translator to communicate with them. You don’t need to worry about safety issues at any time and anywhere in China. I wish you a happy journey.
