Chong Qing [pronounced "Chong Ching"}is regarded as one of the climatic "ovens" of China with good reason. Up until 1997, Chong Qing was part of the now neighbouring Sichuan Province. After lobbying the national government for special status, the three county area of Chong Qing separated from Sichuan. The whole area of Chong Qing became a special municipality under the control of the central government. There are another three places in China with similar special status. They are Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai. Chong Qing city is rated as the chief industrial city of south-western China. This is where cruises start down the Yangtze River.

We arrived into Chongqing with five hours to go before our boat set off. Which was just as well.
We thought the bus station was near the dock on the river. Not at all! Again we wandered about for a bit trying to walk it, but it would have been about 8 miles so we got a cab to the city centre hotel where we'd to meet the ticket guy and get our boarding passes. We did get VERY dodgy looks as we trailed in with our rucksacks, but I think they were used to it! Our fixer also arranged that we cou...

People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Juliana (Russia), Martin (Poland)
Deciding their was little to see in Chonqing, we went to a travel agent to book our Yangzi River boat cruise for the same evening. We were surprised at the prices as they were half of what Lonely Planet had quoted, and we were told access to all areas was included, with an additional 2Y per visit to the upper deck, no big issue really. Having the tickets sorted, we set out for a quick look arou...

Passed through some very long tunnels and hit some great road - we actually got up to 100km/hr at one point, a record for this trip! Closer to Dazu, however, and back onto the small roads which deteriorated quite rapidly and slowed us right down again. First stop was the frescoes of Beishan (North Hill), where some of the frescoes are 1000 years old, all carved into the limestone hills, ...

In a country with a land mass of 9,596,960, it's no surprise that you spend a lot of your time travelling China, well, travelling. After the overnight train journey followed by a five-hour bus journey that took us to Yichang,we then had a two-day river trip down the Yangtse followed by another five-hour bus journey before another one the following day. It wasn't long before it all became quite tiring.The river trip itself was good fun. I should stop saying this because it's getting repetiti...
