Day 2. The Great Wall of China (section above the water, without crowds)

Breakfast at the hotel
Departure to the Great Wall of China (section without crowds above the river). 2 hours on the road one way. Walking 1.5 hours. This section is good because there are no crowds, and it has a beautiful winding shape like a dragon's back, which bends around the hills and the river. Walking along the wall, pay attention: in some places you can see what the floor slabs are made of - rice husks. Next to the wall there is a chestnut garden. We will make a circle, then go down on a trolley to the reservoir. We will take a boat to the beginning of our route.

Temple of Heaven - In ancient China, they believed that the emperor was a messenger of heaven, so there should be a special connection between them, which was carried out through an annual solemn prayer on the day of the winter solstice in one of the most architecturally perfect Chinese temples. It was built in 1420 in the southeast of the capital of the Celestial Empire by the then ruling Ming dynasty. Initially, it was called the "Temple of Heaven and Earth", but a hundred years later a separate temple was erected for worship of the Earth. Everything here personifies the relationship between these two opposites, every detail is symbolic. Particularly indicative in this regard is the prayer hall - the main one in the entire temple complex.

With the Drum Tower to the south and the memorial arches to the north, the area encompasses many ancient courtyards. It is home to about 60,000 Muslims, who clearly maintain the ancient religion and way of life of their ancestors.

It is believed that Chongqing and Chengdu have the most beautiful Chinese women. Chongqing is the birthplace of hot pot and pepper in dishes like nowhere else.

Fantastic engineering structures: for example, a 5-level interchange, and a metro station running at the level of the roofs of residential high-rise buildings. The famous monorail that passes through a residential skyscraper, and the stations occupy three of its floors (Liziba station). All this speaks of the large scale of the city, which has expanded in all directions, including upwards. The population is 32 million people. It is located in the Yangtze and Jialingjiang river basins.

Chongqing has a lot of traditional Chinese, it is one of the few large Chinese cities that has been virtually unaffected by foreign influence, which gives it a special, purely Chinese charm
A little about the history of the city. Since the 11th century BC, Chongqing has been known as the capital city of the Ba kingdom, which fought with the Shu kingdom. Both of these kingdoms fell to Qin. The war after the collapse of the Han Empire, described in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", took place on the site of today's Chongqing. Then the Sui Emperor Wen-di named this area Yuzhou (渝州).
In 1937, during the Sino-Japanese War, Chongqing became the temporary capital of China. Several districts were then annexed to Chongqing, after which it became the largest city in the world.
Chongqing is called the "Capital of Bridges" (there are more than 10,000 of them in the district), or the "Capital of Fog".
The skyscraper district is also worth seeing: the squares and streets among the forest of skyscrapers are striking in their scale.
