Oud/Agarwood/Gaharu/楠奇楠?

Where can I find high quality agarwood/oud/沈香 in CQ? I know it has medicinal uses in Chinese Medicine and that collectors buy the best pieces for tens of thousands of dollars. I have also heard that high-end incense boutiques have good quality agarwoods. Can anyone recommend me places or high quality incense brands?

Hotel Recommendations

Hi everyone! Im looking for hotel recommendations for a short 5 day trip there! I checked out the prices on agoda and they’re generally much cheaper than other countries, so i can actually afford to try a more luxurious hotel! Please provide me some recommendations thank you!

Would prefer ones that are near the metro, and under 130usd per night

Edit: i saw the ascott raffles city chongqing hotel for ~90USD?! Could anyone who has been to this hotel provide some review please :))

Hongya cave WeChat booking

Hi everybody,

I am visiting chongqing next week and have tried to book a ticket to visit hongyadong on WeChat. It won’t allow me to buy a ticket as I don’t have a Chinese phone number associated with my WeChat account.

Can anybody please tell me whether a booking is mandatory, and how can I otherwise make a booking?

Thanks

I need help with wechat from a person living in Chongqing

Hello Chongqing friends,

I created my WeChat account in Chongqing back in 2015, the last time I visited China.

Recently, I lost my phone, and when I tried logging into WeChat on a new device, I discovered my account was locked. There is an option to unlock it with a friend’s assistance, but despite trying multiple people—a friend from Europe, a former colleague from Shanghai—everyone received the message, “This account does not meet the verification requirements. Try again using another qualified account,” and I was unable to unlock my account.

After checking the WeChat FAQ, I learned that accounts registered in mainland China require a mainland Chinese user for verification. If a user registered in the same province (in this case, Chongqing) helps, they don't even need to be on my WeChat friend list.

So, I’m reaching out to see if anyone from Chongqing could assist me. I’ll be traveling to Shanghai in less than a week, and I’ll definitely need access to WeChat.

Please, DM me if you can help and thank you very much in advance!

Greetings from Ireland

I'm planning a trip to Chongqing next year for a week or longer, as the verticality and dense make up of the city intrigues me so much.

I do plan on studying some Cantonese and Mandarin prior to my trip, however, my question to the residents of Chongqing is this, if my level of either language isn't adequate at the time of my holiday, do the restaurant and hotel staff of the city have the capacity to converse in English?, I do prefer to speak the native tongue of any country I visit, however as I'm never a fluent speaker I always have a few problems.

I'd like to know and be fully prepared, see you next September!

Weekend trip

I am thinking of taking a weekend trip to Chongqing next week. I’d really like to see and experience the elevation differences in the city. Are there some good places to stay where you will be able to see the scale of the city, say from a viewpoint, but also where you can experience it, i.e walking around (up and down)?

Chongqing is super fascinating, but also confusing haha! All recommendations are appreciated!

Here for 5 days

Hey guys, a buddy and I have just arrived here while we're touring china, and was wondering if anyone wanted to meet up and grab a beer or explore the city over the next few days. I'm British/Irish mid 30's and he's American (not the dickhead kind 😅) early 40's. Would be cool to swap travel stories or just chat shit and look at com stuff together. Please let me know. And happy Halloween!
