Chongqing, a popular tourist city famous for its pungent and spicy food, as well as many historical tourist attractions. This city attracts more than 200 million people every year. No matter which place in Chongqing travelers decide to visit, Chongqing food is always what they would love to try.
As a local student in Chongqing, I’d like to share my favorite local food with you.
Talking about Chongqing food, the first thing comes into my mind is absolutely the hotpot. Hotpot was originated from the quays of Chongqing. In the old days, boat trackers in Chongqing were very poor and they were so hungry after one day’s work. So they bought some giblets which are much more cheaper than meat, and put them into boiled water with chili and pepper. Now it’s becoming Chongqing people’s favorite food. Wherever Chongqing people go, they would miss hot pot and the atmosphere eating with friends and families so much. If you want to experience the life of the Chongqing locals, just go and try the hotpot.

Recent years, Chongqing’s grilled fish appeals to more and more young people. It’s not as spicy as hotpot but it adds more spices which make this dish flavorful. Because of the crispy fish skin and the juicy fish meat inside, I believe it will be more liked by travelers who cannot eat too spicy food. So if you cannot eat spicy food, don’t worry too much, you can still find the yummy Chongqing food which suits you most.

I do eat spicy foods sometimes. However,to be honest, I do not like it very much. When it comes to medical point of view, spiciness is actually a pain. It makes you hard to taste favor of other foods. I have not been to Chongqing before. I hope I can go there someday.
