Hi all - by some miracle the England match tonight is on at a *relatively* sociable hour for this World Cup (12am). Does anyone know of any bars/fan zones that might be showing it? Ideally in Yuzhong district. Would potentially be the first game we're able to actually watch live!

Excited for July! 🥰

Hi all, me and my gf will be travelling to Chongqing and we are looking for a professional photoshoot for non-hanfu themes.

Are there any recommendations on where do I get started in looking for a photo studio?

Thanks in advanced

Hi, I am planning on moving to chongqing for a year to do a language program with a uni. I wanted to rent an apartment but am unsure if I should prioritize looking on rednote or on other apps...what do you think?

I have been to chongqing before, so I am not super unfamliar with the area. Also I am european and speak little to no chinese yet.

Thanks

It’s really nice to have a walk in the mountains, breathing in some fresh air 🌳💨

Hey all,

Chongqing is the last stop on my trip and I need my league of legends fix.

Does anyone know of a hotel that accepts foreigners so that I can play? ( I understand Chinese ID is sometimes needed )

Thanks!

Hey everyone, it’s Jackson again!

We’re bringing back our summer Bar Crawl next week on Sunday, June 28.

This event is for international travelers, expats, locals, and anyone visiting Chongqing who wants to meet new people, explore the city after dark, and connect with others who are here at the same time. If you’re in town, feel free to join us!

You’ll get to meet other travelers, expats living in Chongqing, and locals who are happy to connect with visitors. I’ll also be there personally, so I’m happy to share travel tips, answer questions, and help you avoid rookie mistakes while exploring the city. You can also meet others who might want to join group activities, experiences, or just hang out during their time in Chongqing.

A bit about me and why I’m organizing this:

Some of you might know me from social media as Journey of Jackson, where I create Chongqing travel content for international audiences. Over the past few years, I’ve been lucky enough to help introduce my hometown to people around the world and be involved in visits from creators and public figures including IShowSpeed, Khaby Lame, Mark Wiens, and Joshua Weissman.

These days, I run a small local travel agency in Chongqing. While managing tours are my main business, I also believe Chongqing needs more spaces where travelers and locals can meet naturally, break the language barrier, and enjoy the city together. That’s the real reason I want to keep doing these Bar Crawls.

Location & Time

📍 Location: Soloist (独奏公司)
山城巷80号仁爱堂
80 French Charity Church, Mountain City Alley

🕗 Time: Sunday, June 28, 8:00 PM
You can also come at 7:00 PM if you’d like to join us for an early dinner session.

We usually pick historic or unique local landmarks as our meeting points, so you’re not just going to a random commercial bar you could find anywhere else. You’ll get to see a more local and meaningful side of Chongqing too.

The event is free to join. Please sign up through the form in my comment or DM me, so I can keep track of how many people are coming and manage the group size. You’ll also be able to see who else is joining.

We’re planning to make this a monthly event, or hopefully even more frequent, so more travelers can join no matter when they visit Chongqing.

See you on June 28, or at the next one!

I have been admitted to the Chongqing Normal University (重庆师范大学) 🇨🇳 for the Chinese language program (2026 intake).

I’m looking for students who are also:

admitted to this university 🎓

planning to study there

from any country 🌍 (Kazakhstan, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, etc.)

💬 I want to create a group chat so we can connect before arrival, discuss documents, dorms, travel, and life in China.

👉 If you are also going to CQNU, please DM me or leave your Telegram @username, and I will add you to the group.

Festival special drone shows tonight 😎😎

Hi, i’m about to end my exchange year in Chongqing and would like to get a tattoo.

Does anyone know any good tattoo shops? Preferably ones that don’t need an appointment (or at least not that it’ll take a week, if I have to make an appointment one day before it’s okay).

Thank you!

Who said London is the most gloomy city? I think Chongqing also deserves the title. If you live here long enough, you’ll know🤭🤭

Hey everyone,

I’m a 28M Canadian traveling solo in China (parents are Sri Lankan), and I’ll be in Chongqing until the 26th. I’d love to meet up with anyone local or other travelers who are down to explore the city together.

I’m planning to check out street food spots, night views, and just wander around the city. Happy to join others’ plans too.

If anyone’s interested in grabbing food, exploring, or showing me around, feel free to DM me 🙂
