Vibrant Chongqing impresses Aussie bloggers

A pair of Australian travel bloggers recently explored Chongqing, one of China's megacities, and were captivated by the city's unique blend of ancient traditions and futuristic developments, describing their journey as nothing short of awe-inspiring and shattering many misconceptions about the country.

In a video released on social media on April 6, the male blogger shared, "After spending a couple of nights in Chongqing, we were really scratching our heads, thinking, 'Has our media been lying to us about China all this time?' Because we were in love with the city, the people and the culture."

During their stay, the bloggers experienced the city's palpable energy — bustling streets, neon lights, street food and cutting-edge technology. They also took a boat cruise, marveling at the breathtaking skyline of Chongqing, which comes alive when the sun sets.
