Hey Chongqing, we're going through some changes here at CQScene and we're ready to unveil a small one for you today! In an effort to make all the cool bars, restaurants and events we post here more accessible to you, we started working on a small listings section. It's not much, but the essentials are there and we will be updating daily. If you have any location you want us to put up, let us know in the comments. We'll be glad to oblige! For now, all you have to do is type a few keywords in the search bar on the main page. Examples: bar, restaurant, cafe or the name of the place you're looking for. You can also put in the name of your district and search from there... 
The results will appear as if you were searching for articles, look for the ones marked “Location”. They all contain directions, a dropoff point for your taxi driver and a short review if you don't know what to expect... Simply open the link and copy everything on your smartphone, you rich bastard.

Gross' article is written as a letter to our fair city, and though not holding back in calling her ugly(at times), he makes some fine points and has some interesting insights from his six day spent here, including the oh so quotable, a "Chinese city for Chinese people." Highlights from the article include his mention of Shancheng(beer), Huang Jue Ping(art district), and a shout-out to CiCi Park. Read the full article HERE, and view the slideshow HERE. |
