I, sister, Mum & Dad plus some extended family were "holed up" in Chongqing during WW2. My dad worked for the Bank of China of back then (not the same as its known today in the West) which was the bank closely associated with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek who was notionally fighting the Japanese but actually was fighting against Mao but that's a huge separate other story. Chongqing being in the deep west in China made it a suitable refuge for Chiang to be hard to get at by the Japanese. The spot where he was actually located was obscure; I know because when there was a Japanese bombing raid on Chongqing we'd retreat to a cave in the mountain side where we stayed. I snuck out to the entrance of the cave once and saw the planes buzzing the city some distance away; they never flew over where we were which was only a few km away where Chiang would've been if he was in Chongqing. /1
Thank you very much for sharing that recollection. It offers an amazing historical perspective, reading your words while watching the video of this modern, 21st century science-fiction city, its skyscrapers and LED lights everywhere.
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt hello bot, you are a very good example for a gullible person who believes everything someone says on TH-cam. 5 minutes of research and you would learn that the group mainly consists not of tourists but of former Chinese citizens who became years ago British citizenship. The Chinese Internet makes by the way fun about these entitled Karens, especially about Mr. "Don't touch her". Background was that they also wanted to use the piano and tried to scare him away. It doesn't work. For you this all might be too much information as you online looking for reasons to hate people because of from they coming from.

There have been two major official apologies to China since WW2 when the Americans rescued China from the Japanese Imperialists. you have a lot to learn about China hehe
@@topsuperseven7910well there a lot of general ….. who didn’t apologize for them and they denied all the atrocities… like the unit 731 and Nanjing massacre…
@@starlights006 yes but Japan was defeated, its entire government system abolished, all those people were dead or imprisoned. Then an entirelt new system and many in those govt seats were opponents of the ww2 regime who were themselves oppressed. Even then, this DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT OF JAPAN has, officially and as a whole denounced the previous era government. Now, that is enough. Understand? It is not crybully China PRCs Heaven given RIGHT to demand an apology and act like that is demanded or they have every right to nuke Japan. Got that? So fack off with your 'Japan never apologized' crap from now onward or Japan will start giving you something to really cry about. Enough with that crybully crap from you.

WOW ! Kudos to you Andy. This is an EXCELLENT video and one of your best. I watched it 3 times and I will show it to my elderly mom. I visited Chongqing with my family as a child and don’t remember much of it. Now, I will make it a point to visit it again in the near future. The dumplings and noodles look so delicious. Can’t wait to try then. Thanks Andy for the GREAT video!! ❤❤❤❤
Probably better to go to Chengdu. ( province right next to chongqing ) . Chongqing is REALLY hot . And the food is super spicy ! Chengdu is a more normal city, only 3-4 hours away from chongqing. So can visit any time possible ! Chengdu also has slightly better universities
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt What do you Ukrainians think about Lindsey Graham? “The Best Money we ever spent.” Destroying Ukraine to attack Russia. The West uses Ukraine like a Cheap Prostitute.
Greetings from California. My bucket list just got longer. Thank you, Andy for such a wonderful video. What an eye opener. Here in the US, I don’t think the name Chongqing ring a bell. Keep up the good work.
Americans well versed in WW2 history might know it as Chungking - the centre of resistance against Imperial Japan in the now largely forgotten theatre (in the West) of China. Chungking was the name under the old romanisation system of written Chinese i.e. Wade-Giles.
Chongqing was very important during the war of Japanese resistance because it was so mountainous it was difficult to attack by land. The nationalist government of Chiang kai-Shek retreated to run their operations from Chongqing while Mao's communist faction were based in Yan'an. I played General "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell in a TV series about that period, specifically dealing with the way the nationalists and the communists kept in touch at that time, mostly via the efforts of Zhou Enlai as go-between. We filmed in a house which had belonged to Song Meiling and where she had lived with Chiang kai-Shek. The house was in a large park and still very much as it had been when they lived there. Later when I was back in Chongqing on another project I went to visit Joseph Stilwell's house which is now a museum. It was temporarily closed for some repairs. but when I told them I had played Stilwell they were very friendly and gave me a guided tour. That was 7 years ago so it's probably re-opened by now. The series is called "周恩来在重庆" and I did find it on TH-cam but I don't think there are any subtitles. I watched it and thought it was brilliant, though it's educational rather than entertaining so it might not suit a western audience.

Its a 170 km long city. Drive 2 hours on highway in the city and is still not ending ,,,,, crazy highways bin the city , tunnels upon tunnels and bridges upon bridges. For me I can say is Hong Kong style city but at more big level. 😂😂😂😂. It is a great city to visit, work and live I work there for few years. It’s awesome !
Wow! Thank you, Andy. My partner and I will be visiting China, Hong Kong, and Macau in April 2024. We must make sure to visit Chongqing while we are in China.👍
Actually in Berlin, Germany the Subway also goes into a residential building but somehow there it is more hidden and mostly no visitor ever gets to see it. But it's also a smaller house, 5 stories just.
You could be a good tourist guide, Andy 👍 Great footages of a beautiful city Unfortunately it's costly to travel from Ruhr/Germany to eastern Asia. But one day I'll come visiting

That pidoist harras them and when they do not want to be film on his 2million sub channel as it will spoil the surprise, the pedoist then accuse them of censorship. Watch the non edited vid, he approaching the chinese group asking if they were japanses, then he ask is that commie flag. He is a racist and he knew exactly what he was doing.

I have to say I especially love this video! I love your other videos too but this one just seems like your mom called you and told you to "go outside more" or something 😂
Been there 4 times i know its a real city..!! very dynamic and alive city amd recent recent construction has seen fast rail links to other city centres make it easy to get to from anywhere just about in China
Not overlooking Chongqing's recent historical role as the provisional government of ROC and the South Korean provisional government, it is crucial for people to recognize the significance of Chongqing and China in defending against invaders. It's disheartening for those who still perceive China as an adversary.
No matter which city you visit for the first time, there's always a WOW factor to look forward to. Whether it's tourist attraction, food or people, I am always planning another trip after another
Great video! I lived in LongChang, Sichuan (about 2 hours west, by bus) in the early 2000's, and travelled to ChongQing a lot. I went back to visit last year. It was AMAZING to see how much it changed. This video is great, but you really have to see it for yourself. It's famous for being VERY hilly, so the fact that such a large and modern city is there is a feat of engineering.
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt racist pianist is more like it, England is done, France and China are abandoning your nuclear project, energy in the future is in danger, look at how many cities have bankrupted there, according to your Bristish media, at least 5 more to come, enjoy your life over there, have a lot of fun my friend happy days are near PEACE
Interesting but too many people for me. There are only about 16,000,000 people here in Cambodia. I really like these reports where you get out and about.
China doesn't need propaganda, what China has done speaks for itself. West eagerly gave its factories to China, but how will we ever get them back. We don't have them now, but we need them 😢.
Wonderful editorial and journalism, Andy! Just wondering if 好次 is some new internet slang? We usually say 好吃 (literally “good eat”, meaning “Yummy” or “tasty”), but I’m open to new slangs of the generations…
Chongqing city population is around 11 mln. Other 5 mln of urban and 15 mln of rural population lives in lands owned by Chongqing, which are double the size of Netherlands and large than Scotland and stretches by over 450 kilometers.
Chongqing has always been the cleanest, tidiest, finest and best maintained/built city among all the ones I visited in China in the last decade. I just finished my third visit to Chongqing with my family this month. This visit confirmed that again. Chongqing easily beats Shanghai and Shenzhen in a row during my latest China trip. Our only problem is with the food, as our throats and stomachs are not strong enough for the extremely spicy food yet. We managed to get some Cantonese food in Chongqing, which was a bit a of shame anyway.
0:30 this reminds me a few years before when I was reading "After the Ice" by Steven Mithen. It's a fine general academic book talking about early human history 20000-7000 years before, well-put and very informative, then all of a sudden, the author started to talk about 3-gorges dam and those 2 million immigrants......well, here is the answer.
@@ReportsOnChina your studio shot makes you look like you are 5'10" or something.....but it's good to see a video from you like this. At least once in a while....doesn't make me less jealous, though. One of these days I WILL make it to China.

Dude, that was a really awesome vlog. I'm second gen Chinese-American here in Cali. I tell ya, wish I had 1/3 of your ability to speak Mandarin (even though my Mom & Pop are from Hong Kong & Canton, respectively, where Cantonese is spoken - at least in Guangzhou). Your Mandarin is terrific; being an "ABC (American Born Chinese) or Twinkie (yellow on the outside, white on the inside...😂), I don't speak a lick of my ethnic tongue. Needless to say, I'm green with jealousy over your ability to speak Chinese - hah! Well, I have an excuse though, my Dad came right after the war (i.e., World War 2) in '49. Needless to say, the yellow man faced much of the same racism as the other black & brown races at the time. At the time, having any sort of Chinese accent was very bad, as my Pop experienced, therefore, he insured his children wpuld have absolutely no such problems. As a indicator of the time, think about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and I believe the Fair Housing Act in 1965 (I think...) passed to fight racism against yellow, brown & our black brothers). Then, is not anything like it is now. Back then, not having an English name automatically got you the label of an FOB, Ch#nk, Ch#naman, Sl#nt and other names. I'm glad societal norms have changed, but with Dipsh#t Donny (ie, Trump) and that other old idiot Biden, they push the old but still effective bullsh#t of the Yellow Scare, and anti-Chinese sentiment. People that I've never met now call me a "Chink" to my face now. Hadn't had that experience since I was in 3rd grade. Now, I carry to protect myself against those who I don't even know, whe want to bash my head in. Call me a "Rooftop Korean," I'll take that ad a compliment. 2A rights guaranteed by the Constitution applies to everyone you know. Anyways Andy, keep up the good work, be careful, and keep on making great vlogs. Have a prosperous & a Happy New Year!
Absolutely amazing cityscape‼️😲Along with Dubai the most interesting futuristic city worldwide‼️ In addition you're Chinese is perfectly fluent like local peoples speaking Mandarin as their mother language!😀👍🏻

The spot where he was actually located was obscure; I know because when there was a Japanese bombing raid on Chongqing we'd retreat to a cave in the mountain side where we stayed. I snuck out to the entrance of the cave once and saw the planes buzzing the city some distance away; they never flew over where we were which was only a few km away where Chiang would've been if he was in Chongqing. /1

Your 2010 experience surely won't do justice to present time. You should go back again🍻
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt You mean Zelensky should focus on rebuilding and saving Ukraine instead of keep c0rrupting donations from the west?

Hahahha sure , all of this is chineese propaganda no way he doing this for free and alone , if so he just stupid and blind coz china has real problems its not bad every country has them but they just cover it and thats it later people die from this problems but nobody cares that is china
One of my favorite cities in China, Chongqing truly is a futuristic cyberpunk-esk city 🏙️🌆
Chong Qing is a mountain city. Guang zhou is a more cyber punk-ish than Chong Qing
by cyberpunk u mean oppressed poorly maintained and polluted

@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vthello bot, you are a very good example for a gullible person who believes everything someone says on TH-cam. 5 minutes of research and you would learn that the group mainly consists not of tourists but of former Chinese citizens who became years ago British citizenship. The Chinese Internet makes by the way fun about these entitled Karens, especially about Mr. "Don't touch her". Background was that they also wanted to use the piano and tried to scare him away. It doesn't work.

Chongqing city is one of the most beautiful city in china. Everyone who went there have their mind "blown off"..👈😁👍
How much Chinese workers earn in general?
Incredible Andy and so many people.Japan still havent apologized for WW2 and what they did to China.When will these countries learn.
Ashley, Cowards has no senses of apology. They are still in denial.
There have been two major official apologies to China since WW2 when the Americans rescued China from the Japanese Imperialists. you have a lot to learn about China hehe
@@topsuperseven7910well there a lot of general ….. who didn’t apologize for them and they denied all the atrocities… like the unit 731 and Nanjing massacre…
@@starlights006 yes but Japan was defeated, its entire government system abolished, all those people were dead or imprisoned. Then an entirelt new system and many in those govt seats were opponents of the ww2 regime who were themselves oppressed.
Even then, this DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT OF JAPAN has, officially and as a whole denounced the previous era government.
Now, that is enough.
Understand?
It is not crybully China PRCs Heaven given RIGHT to demand an apology and act like that is demanded or they have every right to nuke Japan.
Got that?
So fack off with your 'Japan never apologized' crap from now onward or Japan will start giving you something to really cry about.
Enough with that crybully crap from you.

WOW ! Kudos to you Andy. This is an EXCELLENT video and one of your best. I watched it 3 times and I will show it to my elderly mom. I visited Chongqing with my family as a child and don’t remember much of it. Now, I will make it a point to visit it again in the near future. The dumplings and noodles look so delicious. Can’t wait to try then. Thanks Andy for the GREAT video!! ❤❤❤❤
Wow, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Andy. My daughter wanted to do her graduate study in Chongqing. This video also help me to broadened my view of this beautiful city.
I recommended her to go to Zhejiang University. Because I am too hahaha XD.
Probably better to go to Chengdu. ( province right next to chongqing ) . Chongqing is REALLY hot . And the food is super spicy ! Chengdu is a more normal city, only 3-4 hours away from chongqing. So can visit any time possible ! Chengdu also has slightly better universities
Great sharing

Greetings from California. My bucket list just got longer. Thank you, Andy for such a wonderful video. What an eye opener. Here in the US, I don’t think the name Chongqing ring a bell. Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Americans well versed in WW2 history might know it as Chungking - the centre of resistance against Imperial Japan in the now largely forgotten theatre (in the West) of China. Chungking was the name under the old romanisation system of written Chinese i.e. Wade-Giles.
Chongqing was very important during the war of Japanese resistance because it was so mountainous it was difficult to attack by land. The nationalist government of Chiang kai-Shek retreated to run their operations from Chongqing while Mao's communist faction were based in Yan'an. I played General "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell in a TV series about that period, specifically dealing with the way the nationalists and the communists kept in touch at that time, mostly via the efforts of Zhou Enlai as go-between. We filmed in a house which had belonged to Song Meiling and where she had lived with Chiang kai-Shek. The house was in a large park and still very much as it had been when they lived there. Later when I was back in Chongqing on another project I went to visit Joseph Stilwell's house which is now a museum. It was temporarily closed for some repairs. but when I told them I had played Stilwell they were very friendly and gave me a guided tour. That was 7 years ago so it's probably re-opened by now. The series is called "周恩来在重庆" and I did find it on TH-cam but I don't think there are any subtitles. I watched it and thought it was brilliant, though it's educational rather than entertaining so it might not suit a western audience.
Thank you for sharing your travels. It's very interesting.

Awsome video Andy. Chongqing is my next must see travel destination for my next China trip.
Actually in Berlin, Germany the Subway also goes into a residential building but somehow there it is more hidden and mostly no visitor ever gets to see it. But it's also a smaller house, 5 stories just.
My wife’s hometown. We have a home there and lots of good friends and relatives ❤ love this city! And the food is amazing!❤❤❤

You got it backward.
The chinese tourist program was filming a pre chinese new year vid ehere they do greeting from other countries.
That pidoist harras them and when they do not want to be film on his 2million sub channel as it will spoil the surprise, the pedoist then accuse them of censorship.
Watch the non edited vid, he approaching the chinese group asking if they were japanses, then he ask is that commie flag. He is a racist and he knew exactly what he was doing.
If he did the same to jews, black, mexicans, gays he would be cancelled by now

I have to say I especially love this video! I love your other videos too but this one just seems like your mom called you and told you to "go outside more" or something 😂
Amazing !
Been there 4 times i know its a real city..!! very dynamic and alive city amd recent recent construction has seen fast rail links to other city centres make it easy to get to from anywhere just about in China
Not overlooking Chongqing's recent historical role as the provisional government of ROC and the South Korean provisional government, it is crucial for people to recognize the significance of Chongqing and China in defending against invaders. It's disheartening for those who still perceive China as an adversary.
No matter which city you visit for the first time, there's always a WOW factor to look forward to. Whether it's tourist attraction, food or people, I am always planning another trip after another
Name of the track at 7:39 plz?
Much love from the U.S. hoping our politics stop getting in the way of sharing cultural love and human progress one day.
Awesome bro
Awesome introduction to Chongging. Keep up the good work, Andy.
Great video! I lived in LongChang, Sichuan (about 2 hours west, by bus) in the early 2000's, and travelled to ChongQing a lot. I went back to visit last year. It was AMAZING to see how much it changed. This video is great, but you really have to see it for yourself. It's famous for being VERY hilly, so the fact that such a large and modern city is there is a feat of engineering.
That's something to be said about having the elevator in your apartment building taking you down to a train station.
Thanks for this great introduction Andy.

China doesn't need propaganda, what China has done speaks for itself. West eagerly gave its factories to China, but how will we ever get them back. We don't have them now, but we need them 😢.
Wonderful editorial and journalism, Andy!
Just wondering if 好次 is some new internet slang? We usually say 好吃 (literally “good eat”, meaning “Yummy” or “tasty”), but I’m open to new slangs of the generations…
Chongqing city population is around 11 mln. Other 5 mln of urban and 15 mln of rural population lives in lands owned by Chongqing, which are double the size of Netherlands and large than Scotland and stretches by over 450 kilometers.
Chongqing has always been the cleanest, tidiest, finest and best maintained/built city among all the ones I visited in China in the last decade.
I just finished my third visit to Chongqing with my family this month. This visit confirmed that again. Chongqing easily beats Shanghai and Shenzhen in a row during my latest China trip.
Our only problem is with the food, as our throats and stomachs are not strong enough for the extremely spicy food yet. We managed to get some Cantonese food in Chongqing, which was a bit a of shame anyway.
Am impressed 😊
0:30 this reminds me a few years before when I was reading "After the Ice" by Steven Mithen. It's a fine general academic book talking about early human history 20000-7000 years before, well-put and very informative, then all of a sudden, the author started to talk about 3-gorges dam and those 2 million immigrants......well, here is the answer.
Lol, that's an interesting jump! I'm curious what context three Gorges had in his book. 🤔
@@CptNemo-l3s not much, but Steven is a good writer, he kept on topic everywhere else in his book.

@@ReportsOnChina your studio shot makes you look like you are 5'10" or something.....but it's good to see a video from you like this. At least once in a while....doesn't make me less jealous, though. One of these days I WILL make it to China.
@@9OClockRant 😅😅 fair enough!
I saw the other day on tiktok the Ice festival ini Harbin also being said a CGI.
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vthello bot, you are a very good example for a gullible person who believes everything someone says on TH-cam. 5 minutes of research and you would learn that the group mainly consists not of tourists but of former Chinese citizens who became years ago British citizenship. The Chinese Internet makes by the way fun about these entitled Karens, especially about Mr. "Don't touch her". Background was that they also wanted to use the piano and tried to scare him away. It doesn't work.
For you this all might be too much information as you online looking for reasons to hate people because of from they coming from.
Dude, that was a really awesome vlog. I'm second gen Chinese-American here in Cali. I tell ya, wish I had 1/3 of your ability to speak Mandarin (even though my Mom & Pop are from Hong Kong & Canton, respectively, where Cantonese is spoken - at least in Guangzhou). Your Mandarin is terrific; being an "ABC (American Born Chinese) or Twinkie (yellow on the outside, white on the inside...😂), I don't speak a lick of my ethnic tongue. Needless to say, I'm green with jealousy over your ability to speak Chinese - hah! Well, I have an excuse though, my Dad came right after the war (i.e., World War 2) in '49. Needless to say, the yellow man faced much of the same racism as the other black & brown races at the time. At the time, having any sort of Chinese accent was very bad, as my Pop experienced, therefore, he insured his children wpuld have absolutely no such problems. As a indicator of the time, think about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and I believe the Fair Housing Act in 1965 (I think...) passed to fight racism against yellow, brown & our black brothers). Then, is not anything like it is now. Back then, not having an English name automatically got you the label of an FOB, Ch#nk, Ch#naman, Sl#nt and other names. I'm glad societal norms have changed, but with Dipsh#t Donny (ie, Trump) and that other old idiot Biden, they push the old but still effective bullsh#t of the Yellow Scare, and anti-Chinese sentiment. People that I've never met now call me a "Chink" to my face now. Hadn't had that experience since I was in 3rd grade. Now, I carry to protect myself against those who I don't even know, whe want to bash my head in. Call me a "Rooftop Korean," I'll take that ad a compliment. 2A rights guaranteed by the Constitution applies to everyone you know. Anyways Andy, keep up the good work, be careful, and keep on making great vlogs. Have a prosperous & a Happy New Year!
Excellent video but much too short. I hope you can post a longer video on what you saw
Spectacular video, Andy. Keep up the great work.👍
If Chongqing were fake, every Chinese had dwarfed David Copperfield.
Absolutely amazing cityscape‼️😲Along with Dubai the most interesting futuristic city worldwide‼️ In addition you're Chinese is perfectly fluent like local peoples speaking Mandarin as their mother language!😀👍🏻
