Chongqing was the city where we disembarked at the end of our Yangtze River cruise on May 1 (Labor Day). This is one of many pictures taken while waiting for a van driver to become available. The thick haze was a combination of early morning humidity and typical Chinese city smog. Those two sitting on the steps were just staring into the distance; I don't know if they were laborers waiting for the odd job offer (like unloading cargo) or Chongqing residents simply resting by the river, surveying the horizon.[click on the image for full-size, to see the two figures in greater detail]
I've been to Chongqing many times. Almost every time I was there, there was the haze over the river. Chongqing is still the city that I like. Love the spicy hot pot.
