Chongqing: Step into the "Underground City" hotpot restaurant in Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area, and it feels like walking into a time tunnel back to old Chongqing. Converted from a former air-raid shelter, the hotpot restaurant has 218 tables arranged across the space and can accommodate more than 1,300 diners at the same time. Inside, the cave's original rock walls have been preserved, while thousands of sky lanterns twinkle across the ceiling, creating a unique and romantic atmosphere.
