    I got the chance to stay in Chongqing for about a week or so back in 2013 - also my first time ever in China!
    My mind was completely blown by how incredible and insanely huge the city was, and just the sheer scale of everything there (and it looks like it's only grown even more since I was there!) - but I was equally as mindblown that virtually nobody had ever even heard of it back home! So glad people are finally starting to realise its existence and see just how awesome it is.
    Thanks for the great video, made me nostalgic and brought back some really fun memories for me - the hot pot, indoor markets, walking through the streets and looking at the seemingly endless amounts of tall buildings, and the super warm and welcoming people we met there (like Michael!). :)

    As someone from Chongqing and living now in France, in 2017 I took a train from Glasgow back to London and chatted with two British teenagers sitting next me. They told me that they just saw some crazy video of a Chinese city where subway goes inside a building on Tiktok and I told them that's where im from lol. And I do have several french friends who know the city as well so...What you show in the video is just so normal for someone like me growing up in Chongqing, and the city is like this since a long time ago and it's interesting to see that ONLY NOW people from the rest of China and even from other countries starting to know the existence of Chongqing.

      My friend you do not want to go to China. It is one of the most dangerous and racist countries to visit if you are a foreigner. Mostly everything you see about China is communist propaganda. In reality (this is the truth before y'all try to fact check) the cities are filled with tofu dragged(look it up if you are not in censored China) construction and if you look closely at the buildings they are rusted and dirty.

    if you look closer of definition of city it differs as there's 4 different categories. A thing about Chongqing is that because of how they built it there's a lot of stairs & the same condo can have different stairs entrance to get to a unit. Being with Michael made the ending fun

    Chongqing is the largest city in the world people never heard of because the west uses a different parameter when measuring the size of this city. If they use the same statistics used to measure the size of each city across America, 6 of the top 10 biggest cities in the world would be in China with Chongqing at the top.

When I made a video there, I was pretty much the only foreigner in the city centre that day! An awesome place that I'm glad you enjoyed.

When I was younger I still regularly saw it in the window of butcher shops, but I can't honestly remember the last time I saw it.
