- Chongqing is known for many things, including its insanely tall skyscrapers! I have been on many rooftop observation decks, but none were quite like the example that I show at the end of the video :)
A big thank you to Alex and Julia from @Reporterfy and the tourism board of Chongqing @iChongqing for giving me access to so many incredible attractions and welcoming me so warmly to their city!
*** I was given a free hotel stay, as well as attraction passes in Chongqing in exchange for social media content. I was not paid any money or told what to post :) All opinions are my own.

I have been to China so many times. You really appreciate the changes and progress of the country. If you have not been to the same cities for ten years, you will see there are big changes. I have friends that had come to visit China 20 years ago, they thought China is still the same as 20 years ago because they trust the media 100 %. I just told them to go back and visit these places again to see the reality.
China changes so fast that people don't have time to realize it's leaving us in the west out in the dust with our government's outdated cold war attitude.
Same with my gf. Went 7 years ago and thought it was still the same.
Took her to Hainan and Xiamen for Easter and she was blown away!
She is now organising for a summer trip to Shanghai with her parents.
五年后，十年后，你会发现又一个新的中国.
Is that why you don't want to live in China 🇨🇳?
agreed. watching the media is like having a joo in your living room.
Alina is one of a kind. What a wonderful journey you are having in China. Thank you for showing the beauty of Chongqing
typical snowbunny 😂
Thanks so much for hosting me, Alex!
@@AlinaMcleod our pleasure
I can’t see Julia in Alex channel but I see Julia in this channel 😂
@@AlinaMcleod Great crossover! I've always wanted you to do a crossover with Alan McLeod from MintPress News -- Maybe he's even friemds with @Reporterfy You should visit Alex Christoforou in Cyprus, too!
You guys and Daniel Dumbrill (who directed me to Reporterfy) are restoring Canada's reputation one video at a time!
P.S. there's another Alexander -- AnalogInsight's Alexander in Munich, who resembles Tom Baker, the Fourth Doctor Who. Since you resemble the First Romana, the two of you could make a mini late-70s Dr Who episode.
It's rare to see all three of you at the same time. Hi, guys!
I am from Taiwan Province of China. During World War II, Chongqing was the temporary capital of our Republic of China. Thank you for sharing with us
重庆被日本人轰炸的很惨😢
@@user-ig8ox2ih5r Yes, during the Japanese invasion of China, in order to destroy the Chinese people's will to resist, the Japanese carried out large-scale bombings of the then temporary capital of China.

Me too, I'm a Chinese Taiwaner.
Hey bot, Taiwan is an independent country
Wow, how does Alex attract such TH-camrs! Would love to go to Chongqing to see the city and meet Alex, then Nanning to meet Gweilo
千万不要在五月份去中国，住宿还机票价格都很贵，十月份以后去比较便宜。
@@user-rb4ib8lo2b 感谢您给我建议
I'm in Nanning, too. I can invite your to dinner😂
@@DazhiWang-xe5kh wow, would be cool!
I’m so happy to see so many smiles on your China trip! China also has many beautiful mountains, rivers and scenic spots. I am proud of my motherland.
Too bad the Ukrainians are our enemies, if they just be Russians we wouldn't have issues with them.

@@AhmetTekin101 He never said he didn't live in China.
I have visited the independent country Taiwan 🇹🇼. People there have enjoyed in their country:
- voting,
- transparency,
- freedom of speech,
- freedom of press,
- a good economy, and
- good relations with Western countries.
China 🇨🇳 has none of those things.
@@AhmetTekin101 Irrelevant to the original topic and most people on earth couldn't care any less.
What an incredible city and an incredible country, which brought tears in my eyes from the start of the video; so proud of the motherland! 👍

Great China and its smart and hard-working Chinese people deserve the respect of the people of the world.
we need be proud of achievement, but we need improve people English level to let people from other country understand better what the real China is. we need to remove language barrier.
That sky walking is one of a kind!
During World War II, Chongqing was the wartime capital of China. China was the first country to confront the fascist country Japan. Later, after the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, France, and the United States became bombing targets, they became China's allies against the fascist Axis powers.
Historical knowledge: The Republic of China was the Chinese government at that time
@@thevoiceoftaiwan
Historical knowledge: Republic of China under KUOMINTANG is the first world largest Democracy country. After they lost the civil war, KUOMINTANG too is the party that burned down all farmer crops and gun thousand mainland Chinese on public road while fleeing to an island called Taiwan. Matter fact, the act of burning down the crop is also one of the factor contributing to the huge famine disaster.
@@DJs021 Yes, according to history, Taiwan is just one of the provinces of China
Well China didn’t “confront” japan until 1937, 6 years after japan invaded China and after they have taken Peking Manchuria and the northern plains. They were very passive
@@DJs021 The Great Famine of 1960 in China was caused by the stupidity of Mao 😂, no one else. KMT retreated to Taiwan some 10 years ago already 😂.
Chongqing is a very special site in China which is known as 8D city. Hope you enjoy the trip of Chongqing.
Great city ，great country！It is remarkable that such a prosperous city can be built in such a rugged place.❤
Last September, I went to the top floor but regretted hadn't gone one more level higher to the open rooftop walk. I would do that in the coming month.
You totally should!
So good to see Mr.&Mrs. Alex taking you around in Chongqing!!🎉
Love China 🇨🇳❤️
Thank you for everything that you have made in the world
For having the courage to battle western hegemony.
For improving the lifes of 1.4 billion citizens in china and Around the world! China is my favorite country and i glad it is ❤
Chongqing looks awesome as ever
Big hug 🫂
Chinese people are Cute and Warm
I wish I could make more friends with them but my Chinese is bad 😅
Thanks for your warm words ❤
@@leahlee8291 No problem 🫂

@@AhmetTekin101 ???
When did I say I don't want to live in China? I haven't said it
The last scene is really a game for the brave, it's amazing.
Wonderful experience in Chongqing, Chongqing has a name as mountain city also
And "Foggy City" also.
Thanks for visiting my hometown, Alina.. Enjoy the trip...
Thank you! 😃
Alina will do anything for the right price. Anything
Thank you for this eye opening video of Chongqing. Nothing like being there. You are blessed to be tin China.
Is that why you don't want to live in China 🇨🇳?
It's an unreal scenery that the Yangtze River looks just like a small brook from the top❤
I have not watched your videos for a long time but this one caught my attention - even though I have already watched a ton of Chongqing videos. This vlog has everything - the glowing, cyberpunk skyline, the 'ciy square' 20 stories off the ground, the traditional, old part of town 'with Tim Horton's(!), the skywalk, dinner with night view, and the spicy sundae to top it off! What a coo (or hot) idea - I think it could be Chongqing's signature. Anyway, more Chongqing videos, please! I think it's far more intriguing than China's more well-known destinations.
Thanks! I already made one prior Chongqing video before this 🙂 next up is Chengdu!
@@AlinaMcleod Yes, I just saw them (aren't there two?) but haven't watched them yet! I guess I can't get enough of Chongqing! I don't know if it's the fact that it's so vertical (or vertigo, like when you walked on the roof of that skyscraper) or that it's relatively unknown, but it's piqued my interest! It's kind of like the Toronto of China, I think. Huge, inland, often overlooked but having a big identity. :)
Chongqing is amazing city，enjoy your travel🎉
Thank you .Alena for being able to reflect the reality of our country and convey it to the outside world.China's very different culture, history and food.
Alina will do anything for money
l 来了
@@ColdHardToronto It's really sad, you think that what they say about China is all about collecting money, what about you？
Thank you for showing us around this beautiful and amazing city, I will definitely take my family there. Your photography was great, thank you🌹🌹🌹
Welcome all friendly foreign friends to visit China.
The real China has countless natural beauty and historical sites and delicacies, friendly and hospitable people, and a safe public security environment, which is a paradise for all tourism lovers.
Thank you!

@@AhmetTekin101 You look like a clown from TW. Do you know what you are talking about? Lmao
@@AhmetTekin101When were you blind?😂
-Voting: Do you mean a political face?
-Transparency: Do you mean Chen Shuibian's corruption?
- Freedom of speech and press: Do you mean that Taiwan's Zhongtian TV station has been banned by the Taiwan authorities?
-Good economic situation: Do you mean that Taiwan's GDP growth rate in 2023 is 1.31% and that of mainland China is 5.2%?
-Better relations with Western countries: China has better relations with non-Western countries, and good relations with Western countries. Besides, you can't represent Western countries.😂
Wow.. stunning views!😍😍
Alina, good to see you get connected with your Canadian fellow countrymen Alex Reportify and Julie ;)
You, Alex, Julia and your video made my day!!! Thank You!!!😊😊😊
Chongqing is really amazing! Happy to see your video and Alex! Your video is realex and warming! Thanks!

Take Care & God Bless !
Hope I can visit Chongqing again very soon.
Thank you very much Alina🥰😍🤩
Ha ha ..... I am viewing your YT from Canada and noticed the difference regarding Tim Hortons. Great.
Is that why China doesn't allow YT?
I loved the EdgeWalk on CN Tower in Toronto, it would be very cool to do this skyscraper walk, too! Seeing your sandals was a little bit scary☺
It wasn't the best footwear choice lol
Alina, my Philippine vacation trip is only 2 weeks away!
Alex kinda went a little crazy with the drone shot there, and it's amazing! Glad to know that you guys have been friends for a long time and also glad that you're enjoying China!
WOW 😳What an exhilarating experience. I could feel the tense situation to be in on that skywalk.
It was lovely to see all 3 of you fellow Canadians having a great time in Chongqing! I'm already a subscriber to Alex and Julia's channel and I was waiting for this episode to come up!! And as always, you are literally glowing in this video!! Chongqing is lucky to host you! Please upload the next China episode soon! Cant wait! Love from India.
Alina, Great show.
Never disappointed to watch Alina video. This exploring in China it's the greats one scary me when you are on highest roof top but it looks so beautiful views. Good luck Alina.
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Ken!
멋진중국여행👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your video is amazing, so genuine. Despite the camera (DJI OSMO) is not very impressive. 😝
I love this video, especially because of Alex (the ChongQing guy) & Julia which is one of my favorite channels.
I’m so glad!
Is it DJI OSMO camera? The video quality impressed me and I was going to ask for the camera in the comment.
Wow, the drone shots at the end! Chongqing is such a magical city! I❤CQ
the sky walking looks amazing . plus great drone shots
What is a beautiful city in China 🇨🇳 we live in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 we don't see many high rises buildings like this compare to China please enjoy your time in China Alina take care bye from milton Ontario Canada
Thank you! No, certainly not a lot of buildings in Toronto like what they have in Chongqing 😅 I always liked the ROM though, most unique building in the city I would say.

Extremely cool and what a fabulous video!! Be well!! Thank you so much!! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another awesome video, thanks Alina and friends
Another great video Alina! Thanks so much!
Enjoy the trip in China!
Big fan of Alex’s, I went there with my family 4weeks ago, it is amazing place, incredible views, have good time in China !
Wow Alina what incredible footage!
Harriet and I had the same challenges making food choices. We don't like it too spicy. But we were troopers and dived right in. Both of us did the skywalk, holding on to each other.
Alina, you are braver than we are. As always, great video. And a big shout out to the folks at Reporterfy. Sending you much love❤ from where we are right now Lagos, Portugal in the Algarve . Harriet, Jim and Yuki
You guys did the skywalk???!! MAJOR PROPS!
@@AlinaMcleod We did. With our hearts palpitating
Simply Amazing! Its on my bucket list!

Your beauty is outstanding Miss Alina.
Thank you so much!
A very beautiful lady in a very beautiful city.
@@bopian8913 Yes ofcourse her beauty is different and better from other girls in the same category. In other words her beauty is non avoidable that means if you want to avoid her you can't able to do that that's is the level of her beauty.
Nice trip good luck my friend McLeod ❤
The last part of drone shots really shocked me. The view was pretty magnificent and beautiful. Thank you for sharing, hope you have a nice and safe trip in China.
Amazing voyage so far and what a history this city has and look at what it has become!
Absolutely!
Alex couples are absolutely one of the vloggers that know China best.
Hi Alex, you're one of my most loved and favorite commentator!!!😍😍😍
Wow ... never heard of this beautiful megacity in China until your visit, Alina, and what amazing shots from the skyscraper (you're a brave woman!)
Hi Alina, hi Alex 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
fantastic views！
Hello @Alina MacLeod - It is a great experience to watch your vlogs. Good that you visited Guangzhou earlier as the entire province is in flood condition now. Keep up your journey.
Hi Alina,
what an insane experience. I guess I would have struggled to go on top of the skyscraper.
And you additionally flew the drone. I highly appreciate it!
Best regards, Ralf
Not my drone flying skills but yes, super impressive!
Hello Alina! 😁🙏👋✨🌟 I hope your having a marvelous day! This is absolutely a magnificent super fantastic video! 😄👍❤️👏📹🇨🇳🥇💯💫✨🌟 Nice to see Alex and Julia! 🙂👍💯✨🌟 The city of Chongqing looks so truly marvelous!

for all the skeptics out there, this is what focused development looks like - each city is given freedom to develop their place as they want and how you make it happen is up to the governing body! they are proud of their progress
great video again Alina!
