What you will see

Malina’s first day in Chongqing, filmed from the airport onwards: the metro into town, checking in, then a walk through the crowded centre. She spends most of the evening on Jiefangbei pedestrian street, around the Liberation Monument, and on Bayi Road, a food street of spicy skewers and hotpot snacks where she could not read a single menu.
