LIZ GRAND ONE Guanyinqiao No. 1 Executive Hotel (Chongqing Guanyinqiao Pedestrian Street Branch)

On the first day, there were a lot of tiny flying insects in the room, and I felt itchy all over while sleeping at night. I reported it to the 'little butler' (hotel staff), and they cleaned it the next day, and there were no more bugs. However, I noticed the bedsheets and duvet cover hadn't been changed because there were still hairs and some small stains from previous guests. The hotel view is nice, offering a glimpse of Chongqing's landmark buildings, and the front desk service was decent. But the hygiene issues really bothered me, especially since I'm prone to allergies. By the second day, I had developed many small bumps on my face. I didn't pay much attention at first, but by the day I left, my skin was so bad I couldn't even put on makeup. I hope they improve their hygiene!

The hotel is located on the 30-something floor of Guanyinqiao No. 1, and we experienced incredibly fast elevators – we blinked and were already at the 34th-floor lobby! We took in the extraordinary night views of Chongqing, savored spicy and fragrant hot pot, and enjoyed some local Chongqing street food: bench-style rice noodles and preserved sausage. It's a mystery how I, someone who can't handle too much spice, managed to finish a huge bowl of bright red rice noodles without a drop of soup left. Afterward, I felt completely refreshed and comfortable, with none of the stomach pain, breakouts, or internal heat I usually expect. Then I tried Li Ruo Tao's rice yogurt, a taste so heavenly it left me longing for more for years to come. Chongqing, I'm not done with you yet. See you again soon!
