Chongqing
Photos from the city of Chongqing - the biggest city no one has ever heard of.
The mid-autumn festival Moon cake sale at the local supermarket. Shop assistants can be too helpful.
Boat rides being offered on the Yangtze River.
To say that gambling is one of the China's favourite pastimes is a massive understatement.
The high rises of Chongqing built upon it's steep hills are connected by pathways like these.
An unused merry-go-round by the Yangtze River on Foreigner Street.
A foreigner street stall holder.
Evening public dance gatherings on the street.
Food hall serving steamed Chinese dumplings.
Practicing a drumming routine. The retired generation are very active and sure do know how to keep themselves occupied.
If you can't afford to gamble at least you can watch. These guys are playing Chinese chess.
A backstreet eatery on the 18 staircase alley.
All sorts of livestock for sale. If it's not alive then it's not fresh enough. Ducks and chickens are killed and plucked while you wait.
The most fantastic range of kites available.
Kids flying their kites on the Lijiatou bridge which crosses the Yangtze River.
Chongqing is home of the famous Sichuan Arts College where this mural was taken.
The American West BBQ restaurant. All you can eat, as long as you cook it yourself, on the hot plates at your table.
Back street repairs
In the art studio of Huang Lin - A Chinese contemporary artist.
A worker harvesting bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. Famous for being the backdrop to a scene in House of Flying Daggers.
People discuss the taking of the doors. Redevelopment, demolition and redistribution is common in every Chinese city.
The backdrop of the school where I worked. Although a very developed city, every inch of spare land is used for agricultural crops.
A very long lorry with a big delivery.
A surprising pastime - croquet
Our favourite foodhall for the best cheap eats in town.
At the confluence of the River Yangtze and Jialing River there is plenty of hussle and bussle. A great place to people watch and see the sun set through the Chongqing smog.
Traditional Chinese Medicine still rules here. All sorts of ingredients are used to make up potent mixtures.
View from the death slide in Foreigner Street. Note the replica of the Great Wall of China in the background.
Slipper seller at the Chaotianmen Comprehensive traders market. For all your wholesale needs.
I love Huang Jue Ping - the art district in Chongqing where all the buildings are covered in graffit. Unusually the grafitti was sanctioned by the local authorities.
Workers working on the death slide.
