I finally got to visit China’s most viral city - Chongqing for 3 days. With breathtaking skyline views, futuristic architecture, and jaw-dropping urban landscapes, this megacity has taken the internet by storm—but does it actually live up to the hype?
In this video, I explore the surreal streets, bustling metro lines, and dizzying high-rises that make Chongqing so famous online. From towering skyscrapers that vanish into the clouds to entire trains passing through buildings, this city feels like something out of a sci-fi movie.
But beyond the viral clips and Instagram shots, I wanted to know what it’s really like to explore Chongqing. The city is undeniably impressive—but also crowded, chaotic, and at times overly polished for tourists. The areas just outside the main attractions feel a bit rough around the edges, and it left me wondering: is Chongqing showing us its real self, or just a staged version for the camera?
Either way, it’s an unforgettable place—and absolutely worth seeing for yourself. Watch the full adventure as we dive into the urban madness of Chongqing, try local food, and search for those iconic views the city is famous for.
Let me know in the comments—is Chongqing worth visiting or just social media hype?
