Chongqing

Our flight from Dalian arrived late Thursday night in Chongqing where we were picked up by a bus. Chongqing is the largest city in the world by population with over 33 million inhabitants. I can honestly say I have never been anywhere more humid than Chongqing. Stepping into Chongqing felt like stepping into a bathroom after an hour long steaming shower, except cold. We only had one day in the city, most of which was spent in the Three Gorges Dam Museum.

Our dinner was a traditional Chongqing hotpot. The beef and lamb were delicious, and the cooking sauce had an excellent spicy taste, but I could not stomach the chicken feet, cow stomach, eel, chicken stomach, or bull penis. Yes, they served bull penis. The 3 day cruise follows our extremely brief stay in Chonqing, and I am very much looking forward to it.
