26.07.2008 - 26.07.2008
With the arrival of evening and after our Hot Pot adventure, we took about a half-hour walk to the river. The place is called Hong Ya Dong or Red Rock Village. It is famous because it is where the Chongqing Negotiations between Mao Zedong and Jiang Jieshi (Chiang Kai-Shek) took place during the war with Japan. It has some magnificent buildings and all kinds of tourist stuff as you can see for yourself.
