Chongqing's vertical hill-and-river geography means the metro runs through buildings; the city has no flat ground for kilometers. Sichuan hot-pot originates here. Population 30M+ in the broader municipality (one of China's 4 direct-controlled cities). Same China Z visa / no-DNV story.

China expanded visa policy significantly in 2024-2025 — 30-day visa-free entry for ~38 western passports (US, UK, EU, Canada, Japan, Australia/NZ via separate program), plus 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit at major airports. No formal nomad visa exists — Z visa or work permit required for any genuine long-term stay. Visa runs from Hong Kong / Macau remain the long-stay workaround for those without sponsored work.
