🔥 City Travel Tips:
1. Booking hack: Chongqing hotels are cheapest Wed-Thu, with severe weekend markups
2. Wuling Mountain Forest Park's hydrangeas are blooming now (through August) - visit early to avoid crowds
3. In Yuzhong District, verify "Hongyadong view" claims - many "river view" rooms are actually blocked by buildings
