Un barrio no es un decorado.

Comprender Chongqing es observar qué compra la gente para cenar, cómo sube a casa y por qué una mesa puede ocupar toda una tarde.

01 / LOCAL, NO ESCENIFICADO

La experiencia comienza con una relación.

Entrar en un barrio no es coleccionar fotografías. Elegimos encuentros bienvenidos y protegemos el ritmo de quienes viven allí.

02 / THE VERTICAL CITY

Read Chongqing through the routes people use every day

Stairs, elevators, rail lines and hillside lanes reveal how the city works. A walk can connect a morning market, an old residential block and a riverside pause without turning daily life into a spectacle.

03 / LEARN BY DOING

Market basket, family dish, first game of mahjong

Depending on the host and the day, a local experience may include choosing ingredients, learning the order of a Sichuan family dish, practising Chongqing expressions or sitting down for mahjong and tea.

04 / HOW WE ENTER A COMMUNITY

Respect comes before access.

Match

We understand the guest’s curiosity and find a setting where the interaction makes sense.

Explain

Local habits, photography boundaries and the meaning behind the activity are made clear.

Participate

Guests are invited to listen, help, cook, play or walk — not simply observe.

Leave well

Time, payment, gifts and privacy are handled so the relationship remains respectful after the visit.

05 / TRAVEL WITH RESPECT

Real life is never scheduled like a show.

Will local people be staged for photographs?

No. Photography is discussed and permission matters. The interaction comes first.

Can we learn Sichuan cooking or mahjong?

Often, yes. The exact host and activity depend on dates, availability and the group.

Is a community experience physically demanding?

It can involve stairs and uneven streets. We adjust the route to the group’s mobility.

BEGIN LOCALLY

¿Qué parte de la vida cotidiana de Chongqing te interesa?

Comida, dialecto, arquitectura, familia, mercados, mahjong o el río: empezaremos desde allí.
