I adopted my daughter from Chongqing. That was 6 years ago. I spent 10 days in the city and surrounding area. I was impressed with the friendliness of the people. The service was much better than in the US, by far. The city was very clean-unlike NYC- The people tended to dress better than americans. We stayed at the Marriot Hotel.I never felt intimidated walking the streets or visiting the shops. It was hot and muggy most of the time but I still liked being in a spot of the earth where americans are few and far inbetween. I saw only one other white person who was from Australia!The women are beautiful and the men are friendly. PS My daughter is an exceptionally smart and beautiful child (of course).
Planning to be in Chongqing on 16th Sept. any advice on cheaper hotel near International Convention and Exhibition Center. How far is the airport from city?
Aug. 23,2009 01:17 Mr.jill(cn) replied:
I heard that Holiday Inn is nearby, which is economic. From the airport to international convention and exhibition center, you may need to take Airport line and get off at niujiaotuo and then change for Bus 125B.

Dear Sir, I married in Chongqing and I still do not have my wife back here in the States. Your best bet would be to get a fiance visa and marry in your country
Jun. 21,2009 11:31 Ms.sea(chongqing) replied:
hello Mr. costas, can I ask how old are your wife, if she is young, make her student visa to Cyprus, it's near your country, and it's easy to come here for her. but problem is the money, the first time you have to spent near 6,000 euro, so you and her can stay together.
Jun. 22,2009 06:50 Mr.Rosgen(USA) replied:
Mr. Costas
The Fiancee Visa is the best route. I married a CQ woman 10 years ago and she was able to get in the US, not an easy move, in less than 2 months. Maybe Greece is easier. Good Luck

Hi,
Housing is really cheap compare to London,hahaa Hotel rates from 80RMB to 500 RMB (5stars). Nightlife is really cool too !")With beauti and babes I am also doing business here and if you need to talk you can have it post here")
I am planning a trip to China and would like to see Chongqing City. What will the cost of my stay be for things like a Good meal and a Taxi Ride from the Airport to Downtown Areas in US Dollar's ???
Jul. 21,2009 20:42 Mr.Mike replied:
It is difficut to give you a concrete number. If you would like to have good meals, I think 100~200RMB/person is needed everyday. And the taxi fare from the airport to the downtown area is about 80~100RMB. Just for your reference!
How much would it cost me to buy a cold beer in Chongqing City in US Dollars?
Jul. 21,2009 20:30 Mr.Frank replied:
The beer is very cheap that you could buy one bottle at 0.5 US$. Of course, some good brands may cost more, from 1~5US$.

Chongqing is not a cool city. It is one of the three hottest cities along the Yangtze River drainage area. Weather in Summer is hot and humid. The temperature is above 25C in June and herhaps higher. During the late June, it may as high as 35C some times. It needs 1 hour and 50 minutes from Guangzhou to Chongqing by air.
