Memoirs of Studying Abroad in Chongqing

Upon arriving in Chongqing for the first time, this 'Mountain City' captivated me with its unique charm. From initial adaptation to current affection, my study abroad life has become rich and colorful here.

 Culturally, Chongqing's warmth and inclusiveness have made me feel very welcome. Whether it's street food stalls or bustling commercial areas, one can feel the locals' hospitality. I have also gradually learned to communicate with locals in Chongqing dialect, and this linguistic closeness has made me feel more integrated into the city. In terms of cuisine, Chongqing's hot pot, small noodles, and sour and spicy rice noodles are some of the special snacks that have satisfied my taste buds. Each new culinary adventure is a delight for my palate. I particularly enjoy sitting around the hot pot with friends at night, eating and chatting, experiencing the unique spiciness and freshness.    Academically, I have been continuously improving my language skills and striving to overcome language barriers. By participating in various language exchange activities, my speaking and listening skills have significantly improved. Additionally, I was fortunate to participate in the second 'Belt and Road' International Skills Competition, which not only honed my professional skills but also allowed me to meet friends from all over the world, broadening my international perspective. Of course, the beautiful scenery of Chongqing is an indispensable part of my study abroad life. Whether it's the magnificent river view from the Yangtze River Cableway or the dazzling night view of Hongya Cave, they all leave me lingering. These beautiful scenes have not only enriched my extracurricular life but also become precious memories in my heart. Looking back on this period of study abroad, I feel that I have grown a lot. Chongqing has not only provided me with a platform for learning and living but also allowed me to gain friendships, knowledge, and beautiful memories here. I believe that this experience will become a valuable asset in my life journey.
