My name is Hanghang Li, and I'm the founder of Explore Chongqing with Li. I was born and raised in Chongqing, China. At just 17, I embarked on a solo journey to the USA to pursue my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Civil Engineering. Now, I live in a beautiful country, Switzerland.

While I've dedicated my professional life to civil engineering, my true passion lies in travel. Having explored numerous captivating destinations worldwide, I've come to realize that my hometown, Chongqing, possesses an unparalleled character and cultural richness.

The warm hospitality of its people, the fiery flavors of its cuisine, the intense summer heat, and the breathtaking natural beauty all contribute to its unique and enchanting charm. Driven by this belief, I'm establishing a travel company dedicated to showcasing the wonders of Chongqing to the world.
