Preface: This year has passed especially quickly, and in the blink of an eye, National Day is almost here. This year, National Day coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, giving everyone an 8-day holiday. Many of you might already be packed and ready to make up for the travels missed since the Spring Festival, embarking on a spontaneous trip. But where should you go for the long National Day holiday? If it were previous years, Yu Fan would recommend going abroad for a few days of disconnected life. However, due to well-known reasons this year, forget about going abroad. It's better to stay in China and find a place to visit. If you don't have a particular destination in mind, Yu Fan recommends Chongqing. As the city with the highest tourist reception in China for three consecutive years (540 million in 2017, 550 million in 2018, 657 million in 2019), it's a true internet-famous capital, food capital, and hot spring capital. It's also Lonely Planet's most promising tourist city in the world. You won't regret coming to Chongqing. Not only does it have abundant beautiful scenery and delicious food, but the locals are warm, inclusive, and not xenophobic. This is a city that would give up its bridges for tourists. You've made the right choice by coming.
