Eat and drink Chongqing
"Spicy and fragrant", "no spicy, no seat", to say that Chongqing's eating, a spicy word is indispensable. Lantern shadow beef, husband and wife lung slices, sour and spicy powder, Mao Blood Wang, spicy noodles are all spicy words, and the Chongqing hot pot is only seen in red soup oil. Not only that, Chongqing is also the "base area" of the "Sichuan cuisine revolution", and many new menu series originate from here. Therefore, in order to win the "authenticity" of Sichuan cuisine, Chongqing and Chengdu have fought for your life. Chongqing's eating is like fashion, the trend is continuous, duck hot pot, eel hot pot, spring water chicken, sauerkraut fish, roast chicken, spicy fish, changing like a marquee, which is somewhat similar to Chengdu. The snacks in the streets and alleys are also not to be missed: hemp balls, cold rice dumplings, mountain city small tangyuan, nine round buns, iron cakes, chicken shredded cold noodles, bridge copying hands, oil mash, chicken sauce pot stickers, the number is not counted, eating also needs time, take it slowly. Chongqing hot pot is now blossoming and bearing fruit all over the country, but hot pot is still cheap in Chongqing. Affordable Chongqing people, know how to eat and can eat, they rarely go to restaurants to set up a pomp, small stalls, small shops delicious and cheap. In the past two years, Chongqing hot pot has suddenly split into two major genres, one is the old hot pot that everyone is familiar with, self-titled "waterway hot pot", and most of the hot pot restaurants that are familiar to everyone in the river and in the city belong to this school. The rising star calls himself "Lupai Hot Pot", based on the famous Nanshan Mountain, which is actually more like the hot pot farm of the people in the mountains. "Lupai hot pot" backs the mountain to eat the mountain, the raw materials used are mostly pigs, cattle offal, sewerage, it is said that the material is taken from animals that have just been slaughtered, eating is a fresh and energetic, so it is also called "fresh hot pot". It is also a good idea to eat the "old hot pot" and go to the South Mountain to blow the wind to taste the "fresh". 
Street "skewer incense" recommended food street Nanbin Road At present, the most popular restaurant street in Chongqing is on the edge of the Yangtze River. It is a good place to eat food and enjoy the river view. Yangjiaping Zhigang Avenue Chinese and Western food, all kinds of snacks, hot pots are available, civilian paradise, mass consumption.

Here you can find the most characteristic "grassroots snacks" in Chongqing, such as glasses noodles, tikan bean flowers... Ciqikou This ancient town is very famous for its Mao Blood Wang, in addition, chicken offal, Chen Twist and so on are also worth recommending. Nanshan is divided into left and right wings, the left wing has a famous tree observation deck, and there is a street of "spring water chicken" that has been on fire for more than ten years, and many of the former bamboo house farms have been replaced by exquisite restaurants in the deep courtyard, but the feeling of eating on the mountain is still very beautiful. The right wing of Nanshan is a street newly developed by Chongqing people "fresh hot pot", in fact, the restaurants are not piled up, but a single family, but they all specialize in "fresh hot pot", and stretch for several kilometers along the mountain road. Now the famous ones are Yining Mountain Villa, Happy Forest, Fresh Farming Well, Rural Tiankan and so on. Going to the right wing to eat fresh hot pot is the fashion of local gourmets in Chongqing, and it is difficult for foreign tourists to know. Of course, the traffic is not very convenient, you have to take a taxi - professional level eaters will have this kind of encounter.
