When visiting Chongqing, you must visit a teahouse. Use the lidded bowl to make tea, brew a bowl, and chat with two or three friends while lying on bamboo chairs. Since ancient times, Chongqing has been said to have "many city gates, many temples and many teahouses".
Old Chongqing people like to drink covered bowls of tea.
The tea cover can also be used to hold the tea, which is convenient for cooling;
Everyone is climbing uphill,
sweating profusely, and mouth is dry.
Looking for a place to rest, drinking a bowl of tea is naturally the first choice.
As for the humidity and coldness in Chongqing in winter, a cup of warm tea is needed to ward off the cold.
This weekend coincides with the rare sunshine.
The tea culture of old Chongqing is still continuing.
Good weather, old teahouses, slow life,
everything is just right, waiting for you to come.

There is a saying
"Appreciate the style of Paris in a cafe, and appreciate the style of Chongqing in a teahouse."
If you are a true fan of old teahouses,
you must understand these routines!
Teahouse code
The lid of the cup is turned upside down and tilted on the edge of the cup, indicating that water needs to be added.
(I said silently, "Boss, add some water.")
There was a small thing placed on the tea lid, indicating that you should not close the table if you leave temporarily.
(Don’t put valuables on it)
Turn over the tea lid and put it into the tea bowl, which means you want to pay and leave.
(Don’t slide your hands to put the tea lid in, it will be embarrassing)
The tea lid standing on the edge of the cup means that you have forgotten the money and you have to pay it on credit next time.
(Just ask you whether the rules of our old teahouse are upright?)
Let’s go,
The weather is nice on the big weekend
Have a dip in the authentic old teahouse,
Lie on the bamboo chair and brag and complain,
I will ask you on the weekend ,
What is Bashi? What is comfort?
