Spiritual Escape in a Magic City - I didn’t expect to find such calm in a city as lively as Chongqing. After a flavorful hotpot meal, we entered a quiet temple where an incense ritual created a serene, spiritual mood. Thank you, Lesley!

A Beautiful Blend of Spice and Spirituality - Chongqing amazed me with its lively street food scene and peaceful temples. Our local guide Lesley took us to an authentic spicy hotpot spot before leading us into a quiet Taoist temple where we joined an incense ritual. The contrast gave the trip a magical balance.
