Chongqing

Chongqing food is largely a hybrid of Sichuan cuisine and local specialty dishes. Compared with Chengdu's Sichuan Cuisine, Chongqing's has a stronger taste, spicier and more innovative. Famous Chongqing Cuisine include Chongqing Hotpot, Qianzhang (Beam Cream Skim), Jiangtuan Fish, Sliced Meat with Cripsy Rice, etc.
-- Chongqing Hotpot: Most famous Sichuan traditional dish. Characterized by heavy flavors, diverse ingredients, and steaming aromas, hotpot is to the local culture what tea is to Chinese culture. If spicy food doesn't agree with you, you can also take a Yuanyang Hotpot, which offer both hot and light tastes in different containers at a time.
-- Sliced Meat with Crispy Rice: Slice meat with crispy rise is another local favorite. The meat is soft and tender while the rice is crispy, forming a sharp but great contrast.
-- More Information about Chongqing Dining

For travelers who spend their time and dinner before boarding the cruise ship, Qinghuayuan Restaurant is a good choice. Only a few steps away from the Chaotianmen Dock, the restaurant is of local styled architecture, especially featuring in seafood and Sichuan food.

Comments

Hi Michelle, Just a note to thank you so much for the wonderful holiday we had in China. The trip was well thought out, with the sight seeing thoughtfully arranged to include a variety of historical, traditional, cultural and scenic points.

The whole trip was hastle free, with pickups arranged at the airports and us being even assisted to book back into the flights departing the various places. We enjoyed the train ride too, and the guides and vehicles were all excellent. The guide and hotel in Huangzhou was really good too and we enjoyed our stay there.

Thank you for your patience with the few changes also that we incurred on our journey, specially as we disturbed a couple of times on your off duty days too. Thanks once again for everything Michelle, we would rate our overall tour as EXCELLENT!! Regards

Hi Michelle, I have just arrived home and I want to thank you sincerely for organizing such a wonderful tour for our party of four adults and three children. Your friendly guides and drivers were all excellent. We were always met on arrival and assisted on each departure for every stage of the tour, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the marvelous sights we were shown and the interesting commentary presented. The accommodation was always four star as promised, and the meals were tasty and satisfying.

I particularly want to thank you for arranging our Hong Kong accommodation. This service was not part of your obligation, but we are all very grateful for your time and efforts to do this for us. The hotel you chose was clean and comfortable, and was in a perfect location. As a result we all enjoyed our stay in Hong Kong immensely.

I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to any of our friends and acquaintances. Thanks again,
