Brief
- Chongqing is known for fiery Chongqing hot pot, xiaomian noodles, suanlafen and spicy grilled dishes. Start cautiously if you are not used to Sichuan pepper and chilli.
- The city is extremely hilly and vertically layered. Allow extra time for walks between streets, elevated plazas, metro stations and attractions.
- China’s National Day holiday begins on 1 October 2026, with likely heavy domestic travel, crowded attractions and higher hotel and transport demand. Reserve intercity trains and accommodation early.
- Carry tissues and hand sanitiser. Public toilets may lack toilet paper or soap, and squat toilets are common outside hotels and major tourist facilities. (

Safety and health
- Mosquitoes can transmit dengue in China; use repellent, cover exposed skin and consider air-conditioned or screened accommodation. Tick and sand-fly bites can also transmit less common infections including Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever and leishmaniasis, particularly outside dense urban areas. (
