PAM in Chongqing Day #2 - Eling, Shibati & Hongya Cave

 


went into Eling Park for a short stroll just cos was told there was sakura


interesting!!! but no try... 






erm.... this one?!?!?!?!  😂😂😂



Eling No. 2 Factory

used to be printing factory in the 50s... printed $$$ too... 


why no open?!?!?!? 





😍😍😍


the area has been repurposed into many many cafes & shops with lots of cute decos & displays but couldnt find anything to buy... 😅😅😅











his dog was just slung over his shoulder






oh.... the 'fu' stands for funny... i thought it was... 😅😅😅







上报了 !!!








very hungry & very cold so i opted to have soupy noodles for dinner and hf joined me while Jeo went to get fast food... 



一点点辣 was acceptable for me but too much to handle for hf so off to more 生煎包s and chicken crepe as round 2




then a quick walk through Chongqing iconic Shibati, of more cafes and shops





didi driver dropped us off on the bridge to join the thousands of ppl taking pics of the iconic hongya cave, a historical building decked in orange led strip lights





before a 15 minutes walk home in the cold to end our day 2 in Chongqing

PAM in Chongqing Day #2 - Art Musuem, Kuixing Pavillion & Rescue Cat Park

 

a wet wet morning 



breakfast @ 八一美食街

鲜虾蟹籽抄手 (very nice), banana prata (nice), 拇指生煎包 (meh), 烤苕皮 - this snack which my 小土豆s luv was also just meh... 😅😅😅 



Chongqing is THE fiery spicy city... almost everything is mala flavour


Chongqing's iconic Jiefangbei



3 storey Miniso flagship store



while the 2 of them were happily shopping, i was enjoying my 小土豆s miniso mv on loop... 😍😍😍


it was cold in chongqing!!! i had 4 layers of top + 2 layers of bottom with heat pack in my pocket... i'm so glad i brought along my thermal wears and bought this waterproof jacket for this trip... 


@ Chongqing Art Gallery









we could have seen this, from our balcony... haix, the 遗憾 of this trip... 





看图说故事


Chongqing's iconic Kuixing Pavilion where one end of the ground floor plaza is reachable by a short flight of steps while the direct opposite is linked to the 22nd floor of the adjacent building...  


what surprised me was that this historical & touristy building has been repurposed into a hospital since 2021!!! 





a visit to Firefly Habour rescue Cat Theme Park was a must with 2 cat lovers among us... 





meow meow really everywhere eventhough it was pouring... 



this grouchy, unfriendly looking kitty came and napped on me while i was waiting for my cup of hot cocoa






then this other friendlier one came when we were at the cafe area



proof that it was COLD!!! 
not just aircon cold which what jeo kept insisting on... brrrr.... 







a few cat theme gift shops within the compound where the meow 店长s were busy creating more work for the human staff with their catwalking among the displays and dirty footprints from the wet floors... 😂😂😂



one for me and one for mx!!!
