Since ancient times, Chongqing has been known as "mountain city", and not without good reason. The undulating sight of foggy green-shrouded hills had long captured the imaginations of poets and writers. In modern times, this translates into Chongqing, a city distinctively missing the droves of bicycles ubiquitous to many other Chinese cities. Take a leaf from the local book and go on a mountain hike to truly appreciate Chongqing's unpredictable terrain.
Tramping up and down on mountain slopes is one of the best-kept fitness secrets of svelte Chongqing locals. Insights into elements of the local culture – group-singing and dancing or exercising on higher ground are certainly worth the battle against gravity. With hills on every side, chances are, there is probably a mountain near to where you live or work. Time to dust those walking shoes for a day in the hills!
