8月19日，在印度新德里举行的羽毛球世锦赛进入第三个比赛日，国羽选手全线大捷——四对混双组合悉数晋级十六强，三位女单名将全部闯入第三轮，更值得高兴的是男双和男单两个“弱项”同获胜利，梁伟铿/王昶首战逆转险胜，男单“独苗”李诗沣闯入十六强。 
The answer to his comfort lies in the restaurant's unlikely location. This hotpot restaurant, named Underground City, is hidden inside a former air-raid shelter, one of the city's distinctive spaces offering natural coolness.
"It's amazing that the restaurant stays so cool even in scorching summer heat," Rostand said. "Chongqing has given me the chance to experience something I can't find in Australia."
Chongqing has long been dubbed one of China's "furnace cities" for its sweltering, humid summers. In July alone, the city endured 26 consecutive days of high heat, with temperatures breaching 40 degrees Celsius for a full week and topping out at a scorching 41.6 degrees.
The blazing heat, however, has failed to dampen the enthusiasm of global travelers. According to the Chongqing General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection, more than 610,000 inbound and outbound trips by foreign nationals were recorded at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport in the first half of the year, marking an 86-percent surge year on year. The top five source countries were Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia.
European travelers proved to be a standout growth driver. Data from Trip.com shows that as of July 21, inbound travel bookings from Europe to Chongqing for this summer season climbed by over 40 percent year on year, while scenic spot ticket orders surged by 214.7 percent and activity-based bookings rocketed by a staggering 6,900 percent.
Thanks to China's visa-free policies and other travel facilitation measures, Chongqing is rapidly gaining traction as a go-to "coolcation" hotspot for international visitors. Creative cool-off spaces, diverse travel experiences and comprehensive summer services have all contributed to its rising appeal.
UNDERGROUND COOL
Chongqing's summer cooling secrets were first found underground. Since the late 1930s, the city has carved thousands of air-raid shelters into its mountainous terrain.
Once serving as sanctuaries for civilians during the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, these spaces have now been repurposed as hotpot restaurants, tea houses and venues for Sichuan Opera performances, providing both refreshing coolness and preserving the city's living memories.
"The temperature inside the shelters remains around 25 degrees Celsius all year round, making them natural cool retreats," explained Wang Jing, marketing director of Underground City.
"We serve more than 300 tables a day on weekends," she added. "Right now, about one in every six diners is from overseas. And we're seeing more and more visitors from Southeast Asia and Europe."
Annika, a tourist from Germany, revealed that the restaurant has gone viral on overseas social media platforms. "We were attracted not only by this unique way of escaping the summer heat, but also by the opportunity to dine in a place filled with history and culture," she said.
CHASING CHILL
On August 1, Chongqing issued an orange heat alert. At a water park in its Fuling District, 10 tonnes of industrial ice were dumped directly into the wave pool. Half-submerged in the refreshing water, visitors could splash around or even play mahjong at custom-made tables in the pool.
This unique summer cooling scene has attracted coverage from mainstream media in countries including Russia and Canada, with overseas outlets reportedly dubbing it the most intriguing summer spectacle in China this year.
At Chongqing Xingrui international travel service, inquiries from cross-border travelers hailing from hot and humid regions such as Vietnam, Laos and Indonesia have risen notably in recent weeks.
Peng Hengcong, head of the travel agency, said they have rolled out themed tour products, including "cool retreats in the mountains" and "gorge rapids adventures," tailored to overseas visitors seeking summer cooling experiences. These products cover areas with higher altitudes or rich water systems in Chongqing, with the highlight being a "23°C summer" experience.
Luo Zibai, an expert with the China Tourism Academy, believes that Chongqing's sustained popularity among travelers lies in its ability to fully leverage its distinctive strengths and develop differentiated tourism products that offer a broad spectrum of experiences.
URBAN REFUGE
Chongqing is weaving a citywide "cooling network" -- ranging from shopping malls to public facilities, and from indoor spaces to outdoor areas.
At a shopping mall called The Ring in the city, visitors are greeted not by endless rows of shops, but by a lush indoor rainforest. With misting systems and carefully designed lighting, the mall keeps the temperature at about 21 degrees Celsius, creating a cool, dreamy summer escape.
"I like Chongqing a lot because it has its own character," said Bilal Badri, who was visiting from the Netherlands. "The way nature and the city's landscape blend together here is just perfect."
The cool experience extends beyond the mall. In the Mountain City Alley historic district, a 400-meter-long pedestrian walkway has been transformed into a "cooling corridor," where misting systems and shaded areas reduce the perceived temperature by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius.
In addition, since July 8, Chongqing's rail transit system has set up cooling zones in 158 metro stations, offering free air-conditioned spaces and heat-relief supplies to residents and tourists alike.
"Chongqing's creative and thoughtful ways to help people beat the summer heat are impressive. It's really interesting to discover these unique experiences," said Alexandra, a Romanian tourist. "This time I didn't stay long enough to explore more of the city, and I'm planning to come back in the near future."
。承载着国羽男单所有希望的李诗沣赛后透露了自己的野心：“最终目标是站在金字塔上。”在石宇奇、翁泓阳双双止步首轮后，国羽男单所有的希望都落在了仅剩的选手李诗沣身上。作为赛会8号种子，他首轮直落两局轻取哈萨克斯坦球员德米特里·帕纳林挺进三十二强；次轮面对马来西亚好手梁峻豪，他状态不错，以21比19、21比19的比分再过一关。

二 | 拿下胜利后，李诗沣振臂高呼后顺势躺倒在地。拿下胜利后，李诗沣振臂高呼、顺势躺到在地“两局都比较激烈，自己比对手更坚定一点。”李诗沣在这场62分钟的消耗战后表示，他会抱着“打到力竭”的心态打好每一场球，“目标当然都是站在金字塔上，但自己不会想太多。每场球都有可能是最后一场，都当最后一场球来打，努力展现最好的自己，打到力竭。”可以预见的是，1/8决赛将是一场更“磨人”的消耗战，李诗沣将迎来“磨王”奈良冈功大，双方此前10次交手，李诗沣六度获胜。其实李诗沣今年并非在最佳状态，他只在5月的马来西亚大师赛（超级500赛）上夺得一冠，此后四站比赛都是前两轮就被淘汰，这也影响了他的自信和状态。不过，世锦赛是羽毛球比赛中除了奥运会外可以获得单项世界冠军称号的唯一赛事，重要程度不言而喻，李诗沣在首轮获胜后给自己下定决心：“来到这里就不是正常比赛，就是来‘打仗’的，要把自己每一发子弹给打出去。”梁伟铿/王昶逆转赢下首场比赛在国羽队内，“阴盛阳衰”格局长期存在，所以男单和男双两个单项被给予更多期待，也时常遭遇舆论批评。国羽此次派出四组男双出战世锦赛，梁伟铿/王昶、胡珂源/林祥毅已晋级十六强。作为赛会3号种子的“梁王”组合首轮轮空，19日才迎来首战。面对英格兰组合亚历克斯/鲁斯，“梁王”以20比22、21比12、21比18的比分逆转取胜。这是“梁王”来到新德里后的第一场比赛，他们坦言第一场比赛“难打”，不仅对手实力较强，而且自身心态不够稳定，还得适应场地、风向等客观条件，“我们在比赛过程中逐渐找到大赛感觉，第三局就比前两局更敢打，我们在逐渐适应世锦赛的节奏。”在男双赛场，头号种子韩国组合金元浩/徐承宰、2号种子印尼组合阿尔菲安/菲克里都有很强的争冠实力，而“梁王”组合尽管排名世界第三，但今年只有在1月的印度公开赛（超级750赛）上夺过一冠。打好每一场比赛是他们更为现实的目标。包括陈雨菲在内三位女将悉数晋级十六强在其他三个单项上，国羽具备较强的集团实力。国羽四对混双组合当日悉数出场，冯彦哲/黄东萍、蒋振邦/魏雅欣、郭星娃/陈芳卉、程星/张驰都是种子组合，首轮轮空后出战大获全胜，全部晋级十六强；王祉怡、陈雨菲、韩悦等三位国羽女单名将也悉数晋级十六强；四对女双组合中，刘圣书/谭宁、贾一凡/张殊贤、李怡婧/罗徐敏这三对组合闯入十六强。
