Driving Downtown Chongqing, China's Magical Mountain City, Bridge City, And Fog City | 重庆

- One of the biggest cities in the world, with over 30 million people, Chongqing is an exciting metropolis. Few places in China, or anywhere else can claim an annual GDP growth rate of at least 10 percent for well over a decade. For me, Chongqing is rather like a small province, with a core city of over 8 million people. Economic growth began to take off spectacularly since Chongqing became its own municipality, separate from Sichuan province in 1997.
With a history stretching 3,000 years, Chongqing has been an important political, economic and strategic centre in China’s west. It is known as “mountain city” owing to its rugged terrain and steep gorges. The rest of the country also calls it one of China’s four “furnaces” as it becomes hot and humid in summer. The Yangtze River starts here and winds through the municipality and makes its way towards Shanghai on the eastern seaboard more than 1,600 kilometres away.
The Chinese Government has designated Chongqing as a key hub in western China, making it a bridgehead for economic development in the vast interior. As a result, Chongqing has benefited from Beijing’s policies such as the Go West strategy, the Chongqing Liangjiang New Area, the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the Belt and Road Initiative and the Chengdu-Chongqing Cities Cluster Development Strategy, as well as the establishment of a Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone.
Chongqing is China’s biggest producer of automobiles with an annual production of over 3 million vehicles in 2016. It also produced more than 8 million motorcycles. Incredibly, Chongqing produced 58 million laptops - one third of the world's production in 2016. It also produced 280 million mobile phones that year, which was 15 per cent of China’s total mobile phone production.
The most important city in western China and the economic engine of the upper Yangzi, Chongqing City is a massive and enthralling urban sprawl.
Chongqing makes up for a lack of top-notch sights with fantastic food and charismatic geography: its combination of steep hills at the confluence of the Yangzi and Jialing Rivers is a prelude to the even more dramatic scenery of the Three Gorges downstream.
Chongqing(formerly spelled Chungking), is an economically important municipality in West China and is the biggest inland municipality of the country with plans for even more massive growth.
The term "Chongqing" can refer to either the city of Chongqing (urban area with a population of approximately 8,518,000) or the Chongqing municipality (much large administrative area including non-city areas and a population of over 30 million).
Chongqing is also the launching point for scenic boat trips down the Yangtze River through the Three Gorges Dam. The Buddhist Dazu Rock Carvings are located three hours west of Chongqing City in the outlying Chongqing Municipality and is listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Chongqing is one of four municipalities in China. Chinese municipalities are large administrative districts that report directly to the national government but are not a province. China has 3 similar municipalities: Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin. Chongqing municipality is the largest directly controlled municipality in China. While no longer part of Sichuan province since 1997, it was historically and culturally part of it and still shares the same love for hot and spicy food dishes.
Neighbouring provinces: Hubei (east), Hunan (east), Guizhou (south), Sichuan (west), Shaanxi (north)
Located on the edge of the Yungui Plateau, and surrounded by small green capped mountains, Chongqing City is intersected by the Jialing River and the upper reaches of the Yangtze. It contains the Daba Shan in the north, Wu Shan in the east, Wuling Shan in the southeast, and Dalou Mountain to the south.
One of the biggest cities in the world, with over 32 million people, Chongqing is an exciting metropolis.

#Chongqing
宅家随君观风景，游子唏嘘似神归。
天街坦途高架路，遥看故地近全非。
雾都暖秋云遮眼，泪水轻弹何日回，
高楼林立万千家，山城旧友可问谁？
I sit home follow your video, just like I'm going with you to drive in the city.
Magic streets with bridges and endless roads, the familiar places are totally changed.
The fog city with clouds is warm in the autumn, my tears come out to my face.
Thousands of big buildings all over the city, where could I find my old fellows ?
懂的自然懂。。
@@WalkEast 小兄弟，你的每一个视频都赚了我好多眼泪。谢谢你。作为你的粉丝，有朝一日我回去了，希望能见你一面，千万不可推辞哦！

@@kevinhu4345 那是大哥睹物思人回忆美妙难忘的人生经历时的欣喜、沉醉、唏嘘、感伤等流下来的热泪。若能当面听取大哥分享精彩人生，不胜荣幸！
愿国庆快乐，一切顺意！
思乡之情无庸置疑，中英文诗句实在是不敢恭维。本想提个建议研究平仄格律，也作罢了。
Chinese cities are sooo underrated... People keep talking about how beautiful New york or Paris or Tokyo are😭😭 I just wish i could fluently speak Mandarin so that i can go live there...
🌹
纽约东京还不错，巴黎是什么臭鱼烂虾😅
@@WalkEast Você mora na China?
Porquê você não faz um passeio em Beijing? Se você poder
@@ruidesiqueirasilva9160 he did
@@dark_knight650 Sim eu vi o vídeo que ele fez o passeio por Beijing, mais estou falando passeio de carro por Beijing, ele não tem
現在國內的街道真的打掃得超級乾淨, 環衛工人值得一讚!
🌹
再过几年这些需要人工打扫的全部会换成人工智能车辆，政府部门的设备会越来越先进，现在每个城市都已在建一个“智慧大脑”，通过AI来管理城市。
雙向奔赴吧，整潔的環境人們自然會維護。
仓廪实而知礼节
既能保持街道干净，又能解决一部分就业问题。
Chongqing is a very underrated city.Many people outside China don't even know about this city.
🙏
This was even featured in a documentary co-produced by CCTV and Russian news channel RT.
Wow, Never thought Chongqing so clean and green. What a beautiful sunny day. This city is much cleaner than many Western cities.
So nice
Max, I am so jealous of you. I have seen so many videos of Chongqing but there is none even close to this one in quality. You have given me an amazing tour of this incredible gigantic hilly city. The development is so wonderful with greenery in abundance. It looks so clean and the weather could not have been better to make this place sparkle. Keep up with this fantastic job. I can't get enough of this place and your videos. Love to see some of the infrastructures like the monorail, subways, airports, museums, performing art centers etc.
Thanks as always, my friend.
I will keep sharing subways, airports, museums, performing art centers..for you!
X D
I love how green landscaping, trees and plants are incorporated in almost every part of the city. 💚🧡
I'm surprised... Pleasantly surprised! I did not expect to see so many green spaces, wonderful shady streets, these romantic transitions above them are also entwined with greenery ... I love it so much. And such cleanliness everywhere, the city just sparkles.
My city Nanjing in China is more green than this. Our roads are lined with giant Phoenix trees.
@@firefly4784 That's great. I can't imagine life without the greenery around. I'm not a big fan of huge cities, but competent landscaping can make a cozy daoye very large city with dense buildings, as I see here. This is my subjective impression, of course)
@@firefly4784 My city is better it is lined with dragon trees.
The western media won't let their people to know more about China, they hide the truth by propose.
The outskirts of Chongqing city is beautiful beyond belief. Hope to see your driving tour of suburban Chongqing also.
Have a great day, buddy
indeed the residentual area looks nice he should visit universal studios beijing open now
This was like riding a tour bus. Loved it. The city is so clean, and with 32 M population, there is no traffic jam. It all seems so orderly.
Great comments, friend
Thanks for taking us on your drive around Chongqing. Perfect day for a drive with the clear blue skies
Hey, my old friend, thanks for your awesome words too!
This is exactly, exactly what I was waiting for.. a driving tour of my amazing Chongqing, a Shining City on the Hill.
So glad to hear that and so lucky I did this🌺🤝
I like the " Shining City on the Hill" analogy to Chongqing, definitely not Washington DC anymore.
@@HKChineseCanadian thank you.
the video quality is just so awesome!
Thanks, buddy
A master piece again, thank you. Happy National Day! 国庆快乐!🌺
Thank you too, dear friend
Happy National day!
so cool to see this place up close!
😍Thanks, friend
this is my favourite video you have ever made, can’t wait until i can travel to chongqing and see the beauty of china for myself!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, another amazing video. I will surely visit Chongqing one day to enjoy beautiful scenery and delicious food.
Welcome to Chongqing, Jessie!
这座城市，我40年前在那里度过了一生最美好的 6年。我熟悉朝天门，市中心，两路口，大坪，沙坪坝， 。。。 可以说，这是我最喜欢的城市，走遍世界，没有哪一座能和重庆比。忘了说了，我在那里遇到了我的老婆。
多么美好的往事。。。
感谢衷心分享！
Love the view and the music! 谢谢分享！
My favourite part of Chongqing is not really the downtown area anymore, it's Nanshan, opposite Jiefangbei, where the Yangtze cable car takes you. It's mountainous, full of really cool cafes, hotels, airbnbs, book shops, old towns, temples and botanical park and hot springs. The architecture is beautiful there and it's much quieter. The air is amazing there. Downtown is too busy and too crowded. Of course there are also some interesting parts, but I just love Nanshan.
Thanks for your sharing, I will visit Nanshan next time!
What a gorgeous day, what a beautiful day in Chongqing city. Beautiful blue sky.
I can't get enough of Chongqing. Sadly, there are only few (4K) videos of Chongqing city. Thank you so much for doing this.
My great pleasure, friend
the city looks marvelous
driving here is unbelievably quite and smooth, the street is clean and walkers are easy , not much motorcycles run around. what a great city!
Tres belle vidéo chongqing impressionnant j'aime Beautiful 👍❤️🇨🇳👍. Hay qua 🇫🇷
The quality of your videos, especially this one, is the best of the best.
Who knows, maybe I will watch this video a thousand times coz I love Chongqing city. Look at those buildings, they're way more modern than NYC buildings.
You're truly a Chongqing city fan!
I'm curious to know where you from. You probably hold a unique opinion on China compared to people around you.
可是你知道吗？中国不管多美，很多没去过美国中国人还是喜欢纽约，中国当年穷，打开国门的时候，跪久站不起来了，还有的是无知
Many thanks for the awesome driving video of CQ's CBD and cityscape. Riverside Drive was spectacularly scenic. Hope next time you show us the riverside drive from Nan'an district looking back at the city center from that side. Keep up the good work.
I'm watching this video and I can't believe what I'm seeing! 👀 Such a big city and so many trees, too! 👍
Thanks for visiting
thank you for this i havent been in china for 9-10yrs the videos has warmed my heart and gotten me through some harsh moments.
I love this video. It allows you to feel the city. The city has soul. I wish I could speak Mandarin, so I could go there and spend a few weeks. I love the topography, the greenery, and the buildings. So beautiful!
Thanks for your great support, dear Michael!

I always love traveling in this way with you. This video teleports me to another world. Really grateful for all your hard work! 👍👍👍
Thank you, Mr. A.W!
Good day!
Amazing, beautiful and modern city. The hills and variable topography make it even more eye-catching
Couldn't agree more!
素晴らしいビデオありがとうございます
楽しかったです😊
thank you for sharing great video.
這是座被無限轟炸過的城市！他有個名詞叫重慶大轟炸⋯⋯
Thanks, friend
Quite beautiful to see the hills and mountains in the back sometimes!
Welcome back!
Thank you for this!!! I have never seen so many skyscrapers. WOW.
The old and new downtown areas are amazing. Riverside Road would be a great place to live or work, what a beautiful city. I absolutely love the landscaped gardens. With all the mountains within the surrounding area that was mentioned in the captions I can imagine they would be a great places to visit, walk, explore, chill, relax and more. Thank you for sharing another awesome vid, as always you take the audience on a special trip. All your posts bless every part of a person: spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, sight, hearing the only thing missing is touch and taste. I'd love to do the touch and taste part but I can't see that happening I'm too busy in my world lol that's why I love watching your vidz. If I'm blessed to get there, you'll be the first person I contact. Take care, be safe, and many successes to you. From Aotearoa [NZ]
Maraea, you're always so caring and special.
Love to reading your words very much!
Because you're emotional too!
I will take care, my friend. Hope you have a beautiful new week!
@@WalkEast thank you for your kind words wonderful friend. May you have an awesome week as well!
Never heard of Chongqing City before, but watching this video I'm very impressed. Awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it!
WOW. another perfect upload again. Envy you. 😍😍😍
Thanks again!
hometown .thanks for share
Another great video of chongqing megapolish it’s changing so fastly the more i watch this city the more i fascinating btw nice to see you again.
Happy to hear that, my old friend!
I enjoyed the drive through Chongqing...what an amazing city! On top of showing us Chongqing you also demonstrated your good driving skills...a few of those intersections early on looked a little confusing to me. I may not have fared so well...😆
Glad you enjoyed it!
Born and raised there. Haven't been back for 5 years. Some of the roads and buildings kinda have faded in my memory. Thanks for bringing back those familiar scenes. I was kinda shocked you actually parked outside of my home. Amazing! Those jaywalkers and cars cutting in front of each other still made me cringe a little bit lol, but good memories!
Haha, thanks for your emotional comments, dear friend.
I can imagine your emotions.
Thanks for your sharing!
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
👍 👍 👍 Appreciate your hard work for this outstanding video. thanks indeed. 💯👏👏👏
Much appreciated, my old friend
A must-visit metropolis once situation improves. The cityscape looks sleek n I enjoy looking at tall commercial buildings.
Thanks for your nice comments again!
Well if you enjoy sleek cityscape with tall commercial buildings - you'll go absolutely bananas and mind-blown in the Chinese megacities. Especially at night 😁😁
兄弟拍的太棒了！时常看你的视频没有订阅，今天终于按下了那个键。祝你以后的旅行愉快！给粉丝们献上更精彩的视频！
超级感谢支持！祝兄弟越飞越高！
Great and scenic city.
谢谢博主的分享，身在海外的重庆人一解乡愁！
荣幸之至！
Beautiful day, fantastic video 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Thanks, my walking friend
Essa é uma das cidades mais impressionantes que já vi, a China é maravilhosa, tem estudos que dizem que já em 2027 a China se tornará a maior economia do mundo ultrapassando os Estados Unidos, e colocando mais 500 milhões de pessoas na classe média, é impressionante.
Sim, é muito impressionante para mim também.
Obrigado meu amigo
That is why the US wants to contain China rn 😂😂😂
@@FreeAssange-yc4ws Remove your name plz
@@LiberalNehru 🤣🤣🤣
At night, that one skyscraper that fully lights up! It totally dominates the others! And now, raffles city looks superb!
Indeed!
Love all the trees n green lining the streets, reminded me of Singapore! But Chongqing is on a massive scale!!!!
Thanks for this stunning sceneries, Clear blue skies, n bright sunshine, so clean n refreshing! Amazing China!!!!🙏👍💥🇨🇳Yiayou ChungGuo!
So nice of you, Mr.Wang🙏
You should be sponsored by travel companies to do this stuff because this is the best advert for going to cities i’ve ever seen! i love your videos

Hi mate long time no see! Going strong toward 100K ! Keep on the pace ! This city is so much more developed compared to just 6-7 years back wow ! For a moment, it looks like Hong Kong island :)
Long time no see!
I have the same feel with you! A Hong-Kong-like street view sometime!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely wonderful.
Love your music! Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
This is a tranquil and peaceful city. But the roads are so complex that makes me feel anxious to drive there 🥺
Haha, no problem, friend.
Impressive, truly the most amazing city to travel by car

Great Video! A side note here, in China, small passenger automobiles with internal combustion engines carry a blue license plate, EVs carry a green plate.
Many thanks to your useful information, dear Karl
Anyway, if you can, continue in the future too to put in your youtube channel videos of driving in different cities and places of China. I very enjoyed from this video.

Chongqing is the most beautiful city in the world especially in architecture and food.
Especially the food!
Thank you for this lovely random drive around Chongqing City - I recognized a view areas at the start as I stayed at Crown Plaza - Nice Video editing so we don't have to endure the traffic lights!! Also a beautiful day in Chongqing - more often than not it is overcast so you picked a great day !!
So glad that everything I did could make you feel pleasant, dear friend.
Your kind feedback is awesome, thank you very mcuh!

你开过寸滩长江大桥以后我都迷路了，不知道方向是去哪里了，哈哈哈。很棒的视频，还有很多地方没有去，继续期待下一个视频。
看来你对老城区应该很熟悉
我看过的前面展望视频质量很高的作品之一。天气也帮了大忙，很美，视觉享受。
感谢你的美好支持，确实天气不错，我运气好
周末愉快！
今天偶然看到这个非常棒的视频，追随镜头仿佛踏上了回家之路，由于疫情原因一直无法回去，当行至北滨路嘉华大桥旁边镜头里闪现出我家的楼房时，心潮澎湃。忍不住叫了声：师傅！刹一脚！
师傅猛然踩了一脚刹车，然后停在路边，说：加10块钱，等你十五分钟，你回家看看就快下来，我继续载你，快去吧🌹
Awesome place 👍👍👍👍👍
Bruna, thanks!
Очень красивый город! Город где ещё нет правил дорожного движения!)))))
I had the privilege to travel around the world. When traveling, one can always go to a new place with no regrets. I guess my travel is over.
I had been to some wonderful places in the world and enjoyed myself as much as I could. Now, I'm back and wondering
...
Sem dúvida a grande cidade mais linda China, estou apaixonado.
Obrigado pelo apoio e tenha um ótimo final de semana!
Chongqing's topography is so difficult to grasp, but the driving scenery is incredible.
Quite agree with you!
Impresionante... una ciudad esplendorosa en pleno crecimiento, creando nuevos barrios y nuevas torres alrrededor de las autovias. Mas esplendorosa aun que Nueva York. Sin duda para mi la ciudad mas impresionante de China.
天气很好，喜欢看有蓝天的视频
感谢支持，10月7日愉快！
Imagine having a city like New York or London just in the middle of the countryside. This is Chongqing, a massive metropolis in China.
Thanks, friend
Need more megacity in countryside not just in coast line
new fans here. thanks for sharing. say hi from japan😊
Thanks for coming!
New York : we have a park in the city
