On Oct. 14 in 2006, the world's largest hotpot banquet was held in Chongqing, the birthplace of the hot and spicy stockpot of mutton.

On that day, sixty-four restaurants hosted the feast, and more than 1,000 tables were set up, serving more than 100,000 hotpot fans, along the banks of the Jialing River, a major tributary of the Yangtze River. 
The feast started at 7pm and continued until after midnight. For 15 yuan (US$1.9) per person, the diners enjoyed five meat dishes, five vegetable dishes, and beer or soft drinks.

During the feast, a 13-ton pot that serves 56 people at a time was offered; meanwhile, a 60-meter-long pot, 6 to 8 meters wide, with room for 152 diners, was also prepared.
