Chongqing – A Renowned City of Chinese Cuisine
Known as the Mountain City, Chongqing’s cuisine is steeped in the bold, unrestrained spirit of the jianghu (a world of martial arts, wanderers, and unwritten codes). Steam rises from noodle stalls on stone steps, the rich aroma of beef tallow wafts from hot pot restaurants in hidden alleys, and charcoal fires crackle under grilled fish stands at night markets.
