Chongqing - "8 days are too short. I could stay here for one year and still have a lot to explore every day." said Alex, who runs the YouTube channel-Alex Absolute as he was about to conclude his trip around Chongqing. The comment was echoed by his friend Matthew, who runs the YouTube Channel-Jayoe Nation and was on the same journey with him.

The two YouTubers vlogged all the way during the one week in Chongqing covering White Emperor City, the Summit of the Three Gorges, Xiaozhai Heavenly Pit (Sinkhole) in Fengjie County and Hongya Cave, an observation deck on Raffles City, Lijia Intelligent Park and Nanbin Road in downtown Chongqing. Fantastic footage has been collected and will be presented to their audience on YouTube in the following weeks.

"We were walking down the edge of the sinkhole. While progressing down, we saw a change in the landscape. When you see a place like that, you think of time. It took millions and millions of years to form the sinkhole. It's inspiring. It's like looking at the long history of the world through this sort of visit. We also visited the first gorge of the three gorges and the Hankuimen. It's been a really good trip." Said Matt, who climbed the Everest years ago and visited the largest cave in the World – Hang Son Doong. "It's like a time travel when I visited the street and sites in Chongqing with thousands of years of history. You can touch the history here." He said.

"It's like a futuristic city. Have you watched Blade Runner, that's so much like here." Said Alex. He talked about his experience downtown. "On one hand, it's the giant skyscrapers and beautiful skylines, and on the other hand, when you walk along the alleys and neighborhood, you can still feel the culture and tradition of the locals. It's so unique that here you can have the two contrast things co-exist harmoniously." Alex said. He continued, "I'm overwhelmed, so many things to see and so many places to go. Just like now, look out the window, millions of stories you can tell." Alex said while sitting on the 37^th floor of the Radisson Blue Plaza Chongqing, with a grand view of the beautiful skyline across the Yangtze River.

The two content creators also touched on the intelligent side of the city by visiting the Lijia Intelligent Park, where technologies including 5G, internet of things, VR games, autonomous driving, face recognition, and smart homes are displayed. "It will be amazing that in the future, all these intelligent technologies get applied to the whole city." Said Alex.

After the trip around Chongqing, Matt will head for the Three Gorges Dam and document what he sees all the way. Alex flew back home but promised that he would come back to Chongqing shortly to explore more out of the city.
