"The Youth" is a movie in which the escalator they climbed together is the Crown Escalator, a must-visit attraction in Chongqing. It is the second longest escalator in Asia, with a total length of 112 meters and approximately 15 floors high. It takes 2 minutes and 30 seconds to complete the ride. It connects the two intersections on the hillside and the Caiyuanba at the foot of the hillside. However, it is not free to ride, with a ticket price of two yuan. It's really steep and you have to stand still, can't move around, and the elevator is also very steep!

Under the Sujiaba overpass

"Youth" : "No class has taught us how to grow up." In the drama, Xiao Bei's home is located under the Sujia Bridge at Sujiaba Interchange. The place where the two look up at the stars together at night. After the movie was finished, it was demolished. The road is not difficult to find, it's just not easy to descend. There are many mosquitoes and other people's vegetable fields. For specific details, it's necessary to ask someone. Nanping Sujiaba has many snacks and food, such as barbecue!"

White Elephant House

"Huo Guo Hero": It is located near Jiefangbei Xiaoshezi, just like most of the old streets in Chongqing, it has a unique local atmosphere, where neighbors gather downstairs to drink tea, play mahjong, and chat. It also has a river view, and you can see the bustling Yangtze River Cableway and the stunning night view of Dongshuimen Bridge. You can walk from Jiefangbei, full of vibrant life.

Old classmate's skewered hot pot

"Hotpot Hero": How could you miss a hotpot when you come to Chongqing? The so-called "hole hotpot" is actually eating hotpot in an air-raid shelter, which is a major feature of Chongqing! It is also one of the filming locations for the movie "Hotpot Hero" starring Chen Kun and Bai Baihe, and it is a hotpot restaurant opened by the three of them together. Chen Kun is also a true Chongqing native. The use of Chongqing dialect as the main language of conversation makes this city an indelible presence.
"Crazy Stone": It is located near Jiefangbei, a thousand-year-old temple in the downtown area. It is also a filming location for the movie. It is rumored that the temple is extremely popular and many people go there to worship. The biggest feeling of Luohan Temple is that it is a place for spiritual cultivation in the secular world, surrounded by high-rise buildings. It has a sense of tranquility amidst the bustling. Hidden in the world~ I highly recommend a nearby XiXi Hot Pot restaurant, it's cheap and delicious, and the taste is good too!
