Chongqing is aiming to cement its status as the world's hotpot capital by 2035. Known for its hotpot culture, the city already boasts the PIPA Yuan hotpot restaurant, a colossal establishment that sprawls across 30,000 square meters and holds the Guinness World Record for the largest hotpot restaurant. Situated on a hillside, diners may spend up to 30 minutes walking from the parking lot to their table among the 888 available.
