What better way is there to beat the winter blues than eating spicy hotpot on a snowy day?
On Sunday, more than 100 tourists ate hotpot together outdoors on snow-capped Xiannyu Mountain, which rises to 1,800 meters above sea level, in Wulong, Chongqing.
Boasting the largest number of hotpot restaurants in the country (and, it says, the best), Chongqing was named China's "hotpot city" by the China Cuisine Association in 2007.

Though hotpot dishes are basically the same everywhere, the Chongqing version is said to have the strongest flavor, with beef tallow and large quantities of chilis and Sichuan peppers.
Situated in Chongqing municipality, Wulong district features spectacular karst landscapes and many natural wonders, including three natural bridges, the gorge valley, Tianmen Cave Bridge, Furong Caves and Xiannyu Mountain.
The Wulong Karst is an important part of the South China Karst formation, which was listed as a World Natural Heritage List by UNESCO in 2007.
