Chongqing Guide 2011
Hot weather, hot food, hot springs, hot women.
Chongqing–The hottest city in China.*
This is the place to start if you’re planning on visiting or living in Chongqing–or if you’re already a seasoned expat, check your know-how against this guide. Guaranteed to be more informative than what you’ll find in the Lonely Planet. Plus it’s the only online guide about Chongqing that lists English, Chinese and pinyin to get you where you need to go.
Note: While I will try my best to include as much detail as possible, it would be impossible for me to claim that this guide is comprehensive. Think of it more as a stepping off point. There are surprises around every corner, so if you have the time to explore you’re bound to find something new and interesting.
In addition, because of the constant development it is possible that some of the information presented in this guide is subject to change. I hope that in this online format it can continue to be updated and remain as accurate as possible. Comment on any of the posts with changes or your own tips, or for those who want to contribute new posts please do! Submit new info here.

We are about to move to Chongqing with two kids ages 11 and 7. What infor can you share about international schools, life in the city with kids and family living? Or do you know of any websites? THANKS!
I was looking up information about Dazu County and found your website. I’m doing Peace Corps too! I’m a China 16 from Texas and I will COS in 2012. I really like all the info you have, I will be sure to reference it from now on!
