Another banger! That part at the start was literally making my tummy turn and my toes curl 😅 I’d be bleddy useless if I was actually there 😂 I could deffo have finished that sweet treat thing at end tho 🐷
another great video and glad you enjoyed the noodles 😊😊. I am planning to go with friends next year as they want to challenge the infamous Chongqing hot pot😅😅
Those gas stations used to be bomb shelters, built to escape Japanese bombing. Chongqing is the birthplace of hot pot. Have you tried Chongqing hot pot? Very delicious 😋. Have a nice trip! ❤❤❤
I know the city has exploded in suze recently, but is there much 'old stuff' like you get in other Chinese cities. Once again always excited when I get the notification of a new Lewis Crampton video dropping, not disappointed!
@@declanharvey-kelly1165 Yep it’s been around for ages, like everywhere else, but the growth is mental! Fascinating place to visit and another stark contrast to other stops so far. Cheers mate! Glad you’re enjoying still 🙏
@@declanharvey-kelly1165 Yeah I always imagined there was a logical reason for it! Did some digging, it turns out the terrain is just a bit crazy (and they persevered nonetheless). Impressive to overcome it!
Hello! I'm a fan of yours from China, and I absolutely adore your UA-cam videos. May I share your videos on Chinese video platforms? I'll include your video link and name in the video description.Looking forward to your reply! Thank you!
I believe it’s actually a municipality, not a city or a province, and it’s governed directly by the central Chinese government. Being a province would mean it governs itself, right? And I mentioned in the video that it’s the same size as Austria, which is huge, hence why the “biggest city” is a slightly complicated term!
Great to see you're back travel vlogging Lewis! Keep up the interesting content!
@@oldmangreg44 Thanks mate! 11 videos down, 1 more to go from this trip - what a journey it’s been!

Honestly felt like one massive optical illusion, really bizarre - and I'd like to see you try but I'm pretty confident it's impossible 🍨
@ flights to China says I can 👀
Great video! Keep up the good work.
@@gamesnerd6806 Thanks mate! Buzzing that you enjoyed 🙏

@@howardcheung5809 I didn’t try the hot pot! But gotta leave some things for next time. Enjoy!!
@LewisCrampton we'll see..my friends want to make the most of the 30 days visa free but I can't stay that long with them 😂😂
@@howardcheung5809 i don’t think you need very long in chongqing, if you’re in a hurry! a few days will be plenty
what’s your planned route?
@LewisCrampton no idea yet..everything is up in the air as I am looking for a new job either in uk or in hk.
Chongqing is massive. The city's verticality is utterly stunning.
@@max_dsouth9 Crazy isn’t it! They’ve managed to maximise every square inch of the place

@@TSYCh-f9g That’s interesting! I did wonder what they were for originally - and that makes sense. Thanks for the info!!

@LewisCrampton it is mad, I've seen a lot of things about the levels in Chongqing but not really about the hills to explain why they do it before

Mental place. Thanks for sharing!
Another top video Lewis! Going around the streets at different levels makes me remember a lot of the old rpg video games 😄 Thank you and stay safe!
Class this! Lewis Williams would finish off that dessert I bet...
Hahaha tbf I reckon he might 👀washed down with some Relentless
I think as someone who's bad with directions in general, I would get completely lost in CQ 😂😅
@@LW78321 Just be grateful you’re not a delivery driver here - I bet it’s mental!
@LewisCrampton I'd lose my job in a day 🤣

As well as conventional taxis, there's he Chinese equivalent of Uber, called Didi.
@@John_259 That’s what I used the whole time, super cheap and easy 🙏
domino city . they build with no foundations on top old mixed with new, a balancing act , I like the ingenuity , living on the edge.
@@thefishdog Amazing to see what’s possible when space is limited! A whole different view of the country compared to everywhere else so far. Cheers 🙏
Amazing..
❤😂🎉❤😂🎉
Definitely an interesting stop!
A maze city 😂
@@Gorchi826 Imagine being a delivery driver!!
need a foot massage for all those steps
@@xiangzhu2798 Haha I’d gladly take one! A good work out though 🏃♂️
Chongqing is technically not a city but a province, it is huge, about the size of England yet the population is about 30 million.
