Its signature dishes include spicy chicken and sauerkraut fish, which are absolutely delicious and authentic. When you arrive at Zhang Ji Xinglong, the first thing that hits you is the spicy and tempting spicy chicken. The chicken is fresh and juicy, fried to a golden crisp, and served with large dried chilies and crispy peanuts. It's spicy but not dry, with an aroma that fills the air. The sauerkraut fish is an irresistible signature dish. The fish is fresh and tender, the sauerkraut is refreshing, and it's served with a spicy red broth. The sour, spicy, and fresh flavors are intertwined, appetizing and memorable. Especially on a cold winter day, a hot bowl of sauerkraut fish warms the body and soul, bringing a sense of warmth and the taste of home.

Chongqing 3-day 2-night intense tour checklist get☑️ Hotel🏨: Lady G+ Hotel, probably about 8 minutes away from Jiefangbei, and about 6 minutes away from Jiaochangkou subway station. With the map, you'll never get lost~ Perfect central location! Plus, the hotel is quite new. But the soundproofing in the hotel is not that great. The night I arrived, I immediately went to eat at Lao Ma Chao Shou (Jiefangbei store), which turned out to be right across from the hotel~ So delicious! I ate there two nights in a row, I don't even care about hotpot anymore🍲 Itinerary: Day1 Leave the hotel at 10 am: Jiefangbei - Bayi Road Food Street - People's Park (pass by Bai Xiang Ju~) - Bai Xiang Ju - Raffles City - randomly found a hotpot restaurant on the way, just a few hundred meters in front of the entrance to Shancheng Lane, (Lao You Die Three Drag One Old Hotpot) - Shancheng Trail - Chongqing Eighteen Ladders - Kui Xing Lou - Dai Jia Lane - Hongya Cave - Qiansimen Bridge. 30,000 steps on the first day... If I hadn't stopped in Dai Jia Lane in the afternoon to wait for Hongya Cave to light up and drank tea for two hours, it would have been at least 40,000 steps~ Day2 Head straight from Jiaochangkou in the morning, take the subway directly to Eling Subway Station, Eling Park - Eling Second Factory - Liziba Subway Station (these three must be in this order, if you are determined to conquer the mountain city, ignore what I said, after taking photos of the light rail passing through the building, ate Liangshan Chicken next to Xiaohuang Building, so satisfying!! Locals probably wouldn't come here) - Guanyinqiao - People's Great Hall (Three Gorges Museum is right across from the hall entrance) - Longmenhao - Xia Hao Li - back to Jiaochangkou I personally think that for a short trip, after visiting the above checkpoints, you've pretty much seen Chongqing~ There will always be regrets in life, so just come back next time. I really love Chongqing!! Day3: Have a bowl of Eighteen Ladders Deng Deng Noodles and Wushan Paper Wrapped Fish (Lianhua Community)~ Then you can head straight to Jiangbei Airport~
