Chongqing- With new cases of COVID-19 popping up across China in recent months, nationwide travel over the holiday period has been strongly discouraged. Some cities, including Chongqing, were offering workers financial incentives to stay where they were.

Chongqing serves as a flourishing and history-rich city with an intense cultural atmosphere and breathtaking attractiveness full of interesting city landmarks and plenty of fun things to do.
