My New Home


Chongqing (pronounced 'chongching'), China: home to 32 million people (around 10 million in the city proper). The city straddles the Yangtze River, with several bridges connecting the two sides. I live in a thriving neighborhood of skyscrapers, restaurants and shops, only a few stops from the city center by metro. I look forward to exploring my new city and taking pictures along the way. I love bridges! (These pics are not mine, they are from the city tourism site.)

  1. Those are pretty cool looking bridges! Can't wait to see your photos :)


    I am also wondering, why is the water partly brown and partly blue in that first photo?!

  2. The city is at the cusp of two large rivers. And that river on the left is really, really dirty. (I think it's the Yangtze on that side.)

    I can't wait to take them! I hope soon.
