As one of most-visited cities in China, Chongqing houses many splendid historical, cultural and natural attractions such as the Dazu Rock Carvings, Ciqikou Ancient Town and natural view along Yangtze River. Besides these must-see attractions, Chongqing food is also worth trying as it is known for its spiciness. The most famous dish in Chongqing is hot pot.
