I’m trying to find a sailor uniform kind of like this one does anyone know any shops that sells like Halloween costumes and such?

It was around 40°C (104°F), and somehow everyone was still standing in the sun trying to figure this place out.
This is Kuixinglou in Chongqing.
You walk in thinking you’re on the first floor, then look over the edge… and realize you’re actually 22 floors above the ground.
I’ve never seen a city confuse people this fast.

Hi everyone!

Back in April 2026, I had the chance to visit Chongqing for the first time, and it completely blew me away. From the Cyberpunk-like night views at Hongyadong to the famous train passing through the building at Liziba, the city's 3D topography and energy are unlike anywhere else I've been. (And of course, the hotpot was amazing/spicy!).

I put together a video highlighting my favorite moments, scenic spots, and local food from the trip.

We started hosting a free bar crawl in Chongqing to help solo travelers meet each other.
It was one of those nights where people arrived not knowing anyone and left planning breakfast together the next morning.
Seeing people from all over the world become friends in a city that many had never even heard of is honestly one of the coolest parts of what we do.
We’re doing it again on Friday, July 31. If you’re visiting Chongqing and want to experience the city’s nightlife while meeting fellow travelers, you’re more than welcome to join us
More details will be posted soon.
Cheers!

Saw a post on WelcomeCQ by Kevin Deng saying that the show today is cancelled. There was no specific reason provided. But I don't see this verified anywhere else. Does anyone know if the show is still on tonight?

hi! Last day in CQ tomorrow and was looking to get some hotpot mixes like the packets in the grocery store you add water to. Any brand recommendations or if it’s worth buying? My family doesn’t quite like super numbing hotpot

It’s now 21:09 and can’t the show hasn’t taken place. Looked on the WeChat for Chongqing but wasn’t able to find anything about tonight. Anyone have any idea if it’s on?

I am visiting from the US with my daughter and we would like to see the drone show tomorrow night. Any ideas for a good spot wit watch it from? A place with a good view that is not totally packed with people. Maybe a rooftop bar?

All help appreciated. Xiexie!

Cannot breathe now

The weather is damn hot what we can do now? We’ve stayed in the hotel for the whole day without doing anything😅

I just arrived in Chongqing and I’m not sure where to start. I’m 33M and I’ll be living in Chongqing for a few years at least. Any recommendations for places to go to make friends and meet people?
