Chongqing (Chinese: 重庆, [ʈʂʰǔŋ tɕʰjə̂ŋ]; formerly Chungking) is a major city in Southwest China and one of the five national central cities in China. Administratively, it is one of China's four direct-controlled municipalities (the other three are Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin), and the only such municipality in inland China.
The municipality was created on 14 March 1997, succeeding the sub-provincial city administration that was part of Sichuan Province. Chongqing's population as of 2015 is 30,165,500 with an urban population of 18,384,100. According to the 2010 census, Chongqing is the most populous Chinese municipality, whereas the built-up area made up of 8 out of 9 urban districts (all but Beibei not yet built-up) was home to 6,777,229 inhabitants at the 2010 census. Chongqing is the largest direct-controlled municipality in China, and comprises 21 districts, 13 counties, and 4 autonomous counties.
The official abbreviation of the city, 渝 (Yú), was approved by the State Council on 18 April 1997. This abbreviation is derived from the old name of a part of the Jialing River that runs through Chongqing and feeds into the Yangtze River. Chongqing was also a municipality of the Republic of China (ROC) administration, serving as its wartime capital during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945).
Street food is ready-to-eat food or drink sold by a hawker, or vendor, in a street or other public place, such as at a market or fair. It is often sold from a portable food booth,food cart, or food truck and meant for immediate consumption. Some street foods are regional, but many have spread beyond their region of origin. Most street foods are classed as both finger food and fast food, and are cheaper on average than restaurant meals. According to a 2007 study from the Food and Agriculture Organization, 2.5 billion people eat street food every day.
Today, people may purchase street food for a number of reasons, such as to get flavorful food for a reasonable price in a sociable setting, to experience ethnic cuisines, or for nostalgia.
Small fried fish were a street food in ancient Greece, however, Theophrastus held the custom of street food in low regard. Evidence of a large number of street food vendors were discovered during the excavation of Pompeii. Street food was widely consumed by poor urban residents of ancient Rome whose tenement homes did not have ovens or hearths. Here, chickpea soup with bread and grain paste were common meals. In ancient China, street food generally catered to the poor, however, wealthy residents would send servants to buy street food and bring it back for them to eat in their homes.

After a late arrival the night before, we wanted to get out and check out the new city we landed in; Chongqing, China. We had a cruise planned to leave from the city, but had a couple days to kill and no major plans. That said, we found a lot to do, walked a ton, ate, and ended up having to break the video in to two parts. This is part 1 of our first day in Chongqing, and you can find part 2 here!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNEFHUrHTbw

In Chongqing, you can find Chinese street food and all sorts of local specialties everywhere you go. These noodles were found in a tourist area yet had very local taste! Please like: www.facebook.com/foodrangin I was planning a trip to Chongqing for only one day, and did not intend on making a video, but just try all of the food as my time would be too limited. However, after sitting down in an alley to eat some street food; noodles, there were two girls beside me also eating the same noodles. I asked them if they always eat these and if they liked them, and then we started talking. It turned out that they had the whole day to explore and wanted to show me around. Af...

Nur selten kann man hier einen klaren Himmel erkennen, deshalb wird diese Stadt auch "Nebelstadt" genannt. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit ist hoch, das Klima oft schwül und heiß. Im Sommer erreichen die Temperaturen oft weit über 40° C, dann gibt es auch für alle hitzefrei. Chongqing zeigt die dramatische Entwicklung der chinesischen Wirtschaft wie keine andere Stadt. Gegründet vor ca. 4.000 Jahren, regierungsunmittelbare Stadt seit 1997, soll sie in 15 Jahren die Wirtschaftskraft Hongkongs erreichen. Et...
This video is about the old station in Chongqing. It is used less and less. It is not directly linked to the subway and, while we do not recommend getting there by subway, we show you how to do it.
If you missed part one, check it out here!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YaZhC80y8I We had a cruise leaving from Chongqing, China; but first had a couple days to explore the city. Without any big plans, we set out for lots of walking, food, and visiting tourist hot spots. This is the second half of our first day in the city. We had a couple fruity drinks at the Tiki bar at our hotel, wandered tourist areas, and got a traditional Hot Pot dinner!
