✈️Traveling to China ✈️ Chongqing: Where Spirited Away Comes to Life 重庆:『千と千尋の神隠し』が現実になる場所

Echo Tsui

In southwest China, Chongqing builds a real-world version of Miyazaki's fantasy. Where the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers meet, this 8D city cascades down mountainsides—so vertical that Google Maps begs for mercy.


1. Transportation: Anime-Level Commute

  • Train Through a Building (Line 2): Like Spirited Away's water train, but piercing apartments

  • Vertical Escalator (Crown Escalator): 112m climb in 2.5 mins

  • Interchange from Hell: 5-tiered roads that break navigation apps

2. Architecture: "Bathhouse" is Real

  • Hongyadong: 11-story wooden piles glowing gold at night. Japanese tourists compare it frame-by-frame with the movie

  • Baixiangju: A 24-floor apartment where exits lead to streets at different altitudes

  • Kuixing Tower: A skybridge at 22nd floor revealing 70m drops

3. Food: Spirit World Street Eats

  • WWII Bunker Hotpot: Parboiling duck blood in historical tunnels

  • Midnight BBQ: Grilled brains with local beer, just like the movie's night market

  • Staircase Noodles: Red chili oil mirroring "Porco Rosso" ramen

4. Nightscape: IShowSpeed's Meltdown

When streamer IShowSpeed saw the night view from Nanshan:
"BRO! THIS BEATS SPIRITED AWAY!" His livestream showed:

  • Hongyadong casting golden reflections like the bathhouse

  • Qiansimen Bridge as a light dragon over the river

  • Skyscrapers flashing "Welcome Chihiro" in LEDs

(Pro tip: Wear grippy shoes. Your camera roll will explode.)

8D迷宮都市・重慶:『千と千尋』の実写版がここに

中国・重慶は、宮崎アニメが現実になった街。長江と嘉陵江の合流点に築かれたこの都市は、夜ともなれば洪崖洞(ホンヤドン)の黄金の灯りが『千と千尋の神隠し』の油屋そっくりだと、日本人観光客から絶賛されています。

1. 立体交通:アニメのような移動体験

  • ビル貫通モノレール:2号線李子坝駅では電車がマンションの腹部を通過。海上電車の陸バージョン

  • 垂直エスカレーター(皇冠大扶梯):112mを2分半で昇降

  • 魔のインターチェンジ:5層構造の道路がナビを無力化

2. 建築奇観:油屋は実在した!

  • 洪崖洞:11層の吊り脚楼が夕暮れとともに黄金に輝く。SNSでは#実写版油屋 のタグが流行

  • 白象居:24階建ての迷宮アパート、出口で標高が変わる

  • 魁星楼:22階の空中歩道から見下ろす70mの谷

3. グルメ:神々の美食街

  • 防空壕火鍋:戦争遺跡で食べる鴨血鍋

  • 深夜屋台:焼き脳みそと地ビールでアニメの夜祭り再現

  • 階段小麺:赤い辣油が「紅の豚」のラーメンみたい

4. 夜景の衝撃:IShowSpeedも絶叫

人気配信者IShowSpeedが南山一棵樹展望台で叫んだ:「マジで油屋よりヤバい!」
彼の配信には:

  • 洪崖洞が川面に金色の影を落とす

  • 千厮門大橋が光の竜のように輝く

  • 超高層ビルに「千尋へようこそ」の文字

(アドバイス:滑りにくい靴を。スマホの容量を空けて)
