Recommended Local Food in Chongqing:
Chongqing cuisine originates from Sichuan Cuisine (one of the eight Chinese cuisines, Guangdong/Cantonese, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian/Min, Hunan, Anhui, and Shandong,) and features pungent and spicy flavors from garlic, chili peppers, and sesame paste among others. One of the most famous dishes in Chongqing is undoubtedly Hot Pot, but there is much more to experience and taste!
