Street Photography in Chongqing
Chongqing (重庆市) has taken the triple crown of sweatiest, most crowded, and hectic place I’ve ever been to in my entire life. Traversing the heart of the city near the Hongyadong Folk Custom Scene Area (洪崖洞民俗风貌区), over the Qiansimen Bridge (千厮门大桥), and Times Square (时代广场) is otherworldly. All the traits of the city come together to create a visual experience that more closely resembles the video game Cyberpunk 2077. Walking up and down levels of the city, each with their own roadways and railways, is mind bending in that the concept of ground level becomes a relative term. Add on the neon lit skyscrapers and crush of people and you have a mega city from the future.
