Chongqing Dazzling by night

Chongqing is a fairy city at night. Very colourful, dazzling and large crowds in major tourist attractions. Lots of walking on this tour - up steps and down so make sure you have good walking shoes and lots of energy! Guide picked us up from the hotel in a private car. My wife and I are past mid 60s and we found this tour tiring walking from midday to 8pm up and down stairs puching along with the crowds in some places.! Of course we were on the train that entered Liziba station and the guide got us to stand right in front of the train. We also visited the Hongya cave in the evening. The crowds were overwhelming and it was difficult to get a photo. We were hungry during lunch and the guide took us to a local shop where we sampled authentic Chongqing food - see pics. All in all very interesting tour but lots of walking. Can be tiring if you're not used to it.
