Exploring Chongqing

We were invited to join the traditional Expat Thanksgiving Dinner at the Inter Continental hotel downtown. We headed out early in the afternoon to explore a bit more of the city and pick up a few souvenirs.  The view of the bridge is becoming familiar to us. The sky revealed a bit of blue making it even more pleasant to watch the skyline. We walked through a large shopping area complete with food stalls, little shops selling everything from antiques to toy fo the moment - all at prices begging to be bargained over.  We also walked an architecturally interesting building housing an art gallery and theater.  Before heading to our dinner, we captured one more selfie by the People's Liberation Monument.
