PAM in Chongqing Day #1


PAM goes to Chongqing 


flew by West Air @ $671 each... we only found out that it was a budget airline a few days before departure... 😂😂😂


left Singapore at 4.40am, I slept like a pig and we arrived in Chongqing at 9.35am... 


airport was EMPTY, clearance was FAST



by the time we freshened up, layered on, we were the last 3 to clear custom check... 😅😅😅

the iconic yellow cab of Chongqing but didi was our main mode of transport 

stayed 4 nights @ Nuanyu Riverview Homestay (重庆暖余江景民宿) @ $175 each... they managed multiple units in this building, next to 东和湾 


and our unit was just 2 units next to their 'office'?!?!?!?  on the 20th floor... 

the corridor looked unassuming, our unit was acceptable-ly decorated, 3 rooms, 1 toilet and shower 


great balcony view where the Yangtze and Jialing River meet and where the Glamorous Chongqing Drone Light Show is shown every Saturday night!!! and our first day in Chongqing was a Saturday... 😍😍😍








our first place of visit - Guanyinqiao (观音桥) for street food 

we had 生煎包 (very nice), gyozas (nice), 黄金芙蓉虾 (not nice),  双拼肉卷 (very very nice), 重庆烤串 (nice), 杨梅 mochi dessert (meh)


Happy bind box shopping!!! shakey shakey shake shake shake



dinner @ 海底捞 then 东 shop shop, 西 shop shop @ Chongqing's Raffles City

my 战利品s



then a quick walk in the rain and cold back to the apartment before 8.30pm to catch the drone show


only to find out that it was cancelled because of the rain... 😭😭😭... 
what a waste!!!
