Chongqing- I'm James from iChongqing. I stayed overnight at a country manor in Beibei District called "Duishanju" and enjoyed many leisure activities such as evening barbecues, brewing Italian-style coffee, strolling through bonsai gardens, and exploring fields dubbed the "Home of Wintersweet".

China National Day is known as the "Golden Week" for tourists wishing to explore the hot domestic travel destination of Chongqing and residents opting for a relaxing staycation. Many memorable experiences are on offer, including idyllic locations away from the usual tourist routes.

My preference has always been to give the crowds, traffic, and holiday prices a miss, enjoy the tranquil resorts dotted around the urban area and surrounding districts and then aim to travel further afield outside peak season.

In Chongqing, exploring the delights hidden in the surrounding districts and counties is a rewarding choice. In this travel vlog, slow the pace of hectic modern life and savor the natural environment in Beibei with family and friends. Now Chongqing has truly opened up again, why not do the same yourself?
