Unlike Chengdu,Chongqing is more a young city,not so historical and cultural.Chengdu has been the capital of southwest China for thousand years.Chongqing was only a big distributing centre decades ago,because of the Chao’tian’men port.

however,since Chongqing became a DC,a huge number of governmental investment has been put in Chongqing, which made Chongqing a extremely beautiful modern city,of course i’m only talking about the downtown area.so if you are going to have a weekend trip to Chongqing and only plan to stay in downtown, here are the places you should go:

磁器口Ci Qi Kou:the only old town area remained in Chongqing,pretty much same as the 宽窄巷子 and 锦里.

解放碑(jie fang bei) and 观音桥(guan yin qiao):CBDs and commercial roads of Chongqing.

华岩寺（hua yan temple):the biggest temple in chongqing.

一棵树（yi ke shu):the best place to see the night view of yhe whole chongqing biland. I have seen things,and i think it is super.so bring your camera, go there at night.

南滨路（nan bin lu):chomgqing’s 九眼桥(Jiu yan qiao),but has much better river view to see.

also chongqing was the war capital of china during ww2,so if you are interesting with that history, there are many places to see.

i was studying MSc course at uni of portsmouth, not far from brighton, and now working as a game producer in chengdu.

in sichuan culture,the right word you are looking for is 街娃儿. pronounced as guy wa(er). 文艺青年is more positive, usually used to compliment,or sarcasm.
