VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

These days I have a business trip in Chongqing, it’s a city different of other Chinese cities, because this city is built on the hill. And most of the buildings are very tall. I haven’t been to many places of this city because I have to work, but when I took a taxi or walked on the road I saw the special. Basically it’s a beautiful city, because there are many trees around the city, and because of the terrain you can have different view. Their roads are up and down, it’s hard to ride a bike in this city, so I haven’t seen a people ride a bike on the road. Yesterday when I took a taxi and the taxi driver told me you can see some people ride bike near the college. I haven’t been to there so I haven’t seen a person ride a bike. I realized Chongqing’s road is very crowd, because there are many cars parking in the each side of the road, and it isn’t parallel parking, it’s vertical parking, and this makes the roads looks more crowd. Chongqing people like spicy food, and the hotpot is famous in this city, so you can see many hotpot restaurants. That’s my the first impression about this city.
