Customers' Frequently Asked Questions

Is Chongqing food very spicy?

Yes, Chongqing cuisine is known for its intense spiciness and numbing Sichuan peppercorns. However, many restaurants offer mild options. Start with less spicy dishes and gradually build tolerance. Always have milk or soy milk handy to cool the heat.

Why is Chongqing called the "Mountain City"?

Chongqing is built on steep hills at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers. The terrain means roads twist through buildings, and you might enter a building on the 1st floor and exit on the 10th floor onto another street!

What is the best time to visit Chongqing?

Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) offer the most comfortable weather. Summers are extremely hot and humid, while winters are foggy and damp. The city's nickname "Fog City" comes from its frequent misty conditions.
