Thousands of drones light up the sky, creating amazing pictures that showcase the city's landmarks and delicious food, intertwining the dazzling lights of skyscrapers and drawing numerous visitors along the banks.
The show is worth watching multiple times as the drone patterns change to commemorate special dates and festivals.
Chongqing locals relish fiery hotpot year-round — even in sweltering summers. On the Nanshan Mountain, food enthusiasts gather at tables beside the lotus pond, waiting for the crimson ox tallow to dissolve into a bubbling broth. An intoxicating haze of chili and beef fat aromas end the city trek.
