I am thankful for water you can drink from the tap in my country. This is a really big city. It is amazing the modifications that can be made to bikes and cycles. Gas is expensive, so fuel efficient transportation is the rule.
We visited the General Stilwell museum and Flying Tigers, local artists, and Er-Ling park overlooking the confluence of the rivers. It would have been a beautiful view if you could have seen across the river.
The local markets were facinating. The fresh meat market was a huge indoor building with row upon row of marble counters with different vendors. The meat & poultry is brought in fresh daily and sold out same day. Every part is there, from snout to feet, meat and internal organs. No refrigeration.
The outdoor street vendors sold everything! Live fish in buckets, spices, fruits, everything.
A kind lady posed showing her rattan baby carrier. The baby wasn't so agreeable posing in the carrier.
Chungking People's Grand Auditorium was a wonderful square where locals gathered. The one child per family rule was apparent as we never saw families of children. Mostly just single babies with grand parents.
