Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) is one of the greatest Chinese painting masters of the 20th century, renowned both domestically and internationally. Although he achieved early fame in Beijing and Shanghai, he had a deep connection with Chongqing. In the spring of 1914, Zhang Daqian traveled to Chongqing to study at the Qiujing School, where he spent over two years of secondary school, establishing a solid foundation in Chinese literature. In 1916, he left his native Sichuan for the first time to study in Japan, also departing from Chongqing by boat along the Yangtze River to Shanghai. The magnificent scenery along the Yangtze River left a deep impression on him. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zhang Daqian also visited Chongqing several times to hold exhibitions. For example, on December 3, 1938, he and Yan Jiyuan held an exhibition at the Chongqing Yingnianhui to raise funds for winter clothing; in May 1944, he held an exhibition of Zhang Daqian's reproductions of Dunhuang murals at the Chongqing Lianglukou Central Library.

Stepping into the Chongqing Museum is like stepping into the long history of Ba-Yu. Bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties bear the patina of time, relics from the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression tell of wartime, and the Three Gorges rocks still bear the marks of rivers. The exhibition hall design cleverly integrates the mountain city&#39;s topography, and every step tells a story. A swipe across the digital screen brings millennia of culture to life, and you&#39;ll leave feeling unsatisfied, filled with a new appreciation for this land.

I took the cable car from Nan&#39;an. The nearby Xiahaoli Graffiti Street is worth a visit. Although it is called a graffiti street, the paintings are all carefully created by art students. There are both gorgeous and vulgar styles. If you have time, it is worth visiting the nearby Nanshan and Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

I visited the Chongqing Zoo in Chongqing. While the panda enclosure was fun, the other animals were too far away, and the interaction between humans and animals wasn&#39;t very interesting. The guide map wasn&#39;t very clear, so I often took detours.

Went during the National Day holiday, surprisingly not too many people!
1 Although there are many pools, only a few are worth soaking in
2 The environment is good and relatively clean and tidy. I saw online that the bath towels have a smell, but I didn&#39;t encounter it
3 The dessert set that comes with the ticket is small but exquisite and tastes good!
In short, it&#39;s worth a visit! However, the ticket price is expensive, and the cost performance is not too high

We had close encounters with wild beasts: a tiger swaggered past the car, a lion leisurely ate a chicken beside the car, and black bears gnawed apples on both sides of the car. It was very exciting to watch.
