A day or two before Joe Gresh and I began our ride across China on Zongshen RX3 motorcycles, the Chinese took us to dinner in Chongqing, the megacity in which the Zongshen company is located.\u00a0 It was a typical summer night in Chongqing, which is to say it was hot, humid, and steamy. Sultry is a word that comes to mind.\u00a0 Exotic is another one.<\/p>\n

Chongqing is where two of the world’s great rivers meet (the Jialing and the Yangtze).\u00a0 Downtown Chongqing is in the center.\u00a0 We were returning from dinner on the south shore of the Yangtze River (the lower river in the map) when I grabbed the photo you see above with my Nikon.\u00a0 Where it says Yuzhong…we were right about where the g is in that word.<\/p>\n

Chongqing is huge.\u00a0 How big?\u00a0 We think New York is big (and it is) with 8 million people.\u00a0 Chongqing has 34 million people.\u00a0 It’s hard to imagine, and it’s hard to imagine we rode 250cc motorcycles through it (as well as many other Chinese megacities).\u00a0 I like everything about Chongqing, and you’ll see more favorite photos from there in upcoming ExNotes blogs. But this one stands out for me.<\/p>\n
