Air-raid-shelter hotpot is a Chongqing genre rather than one restaurant, so this record is verified against the category's best-documented example, Di Xia Zhi Cheng Lao Huo Guo, a 1970s military tunnel converted into a 4,500 square metre dining hall about 520 m long with roughly 218 tables, kept at a constant 25 C without air conditioning and open 24 hours. Dianping puts the per-person spend at about CNY 80 and other write-ups quote CNY 58-68 as a starting point, so CNY 60-100 is used as the honest range. It is worth flagging the location: it is in Longtousi by Longtousi Park South Gate in Liangjiang New Area, a metro ride from the Yuzhong peninsula rather than a walk from Hongyadong, which is why booking ahead matters on weekends. Central alternatives if readers do not want to travel include Dongdongyin Hotpot by Xiaoshizi metro and Xiao Lao Tou on Qixinggang, both around CNY 73-75 per person. Ordering notes for foreign visitors: ask for a yuan-yang pot if spice is a concern, and the house specials are fresh beef tripe and duck intestine. English menus were not confirmed.
