People on a boat on the Jialing River take photos of Chongqing's Hongyadong complex lit up at night. DU LIANYI/CHINA DAILY CHONGQING — In this famously hilly metropolis, long lines have become commonplace — whether it's waiting over 100 tables for a trendy hotpot, walking three to four kilometers to snap a photo of the iconic Hongyadong complex, or queuing for three hours to board a river cruise. According to the Chongqing Commission of Culture and Tourism Development, the city welcomed 22.6 million domestic tourists during the seven-day National Day holiday in October, a 14.1 percent year-on-year increase. Luo Zibai, director of the Chongqing Tourism Development Research Center at Chongqing Normal University, attributes the city's appeal to its stunning natural landscapes, rich cultural heritage and mouthwatering spicy food. "Now, it's transformed into a comprehensive destination that integrates culture, tourism and commerce so that visitors can immerse themselves in local culture, savor authentic Chongqing cuisine and purchase unique cultural products."
