What travelers say:
Today is the last day in Chongqing, I went to the ancient town of Ciqikou. This place is bigger than I thought. It is still very tired to walk around. However, the commercialization is too serious, and the shops on both sides are basically selling the same tourist goods, and there are no special features.

Ciqikou Ancient Town Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Ciqikou Ancient Town is located beside Chongqing city. It used to serve as a goods unloading dock. The town has more than a dozen streets and it is filled with ancient Ming Dynasty architectures. You can walk along ancient paths, taste local food and snacks, and chill in a teahouse to feel the ambience of old Chongqing. As the town is very close to the urban area, it is a popular attraction for urbanites' recreational activities. Mao Xuewang, Qianzhangpi and salt-and-pepper peanuts are the three specialties in the town. The "Chen Fried Dough Twist" is also a must-try when you are there.

Top hidden places in Chongqing 😍🇨🇳The holiday is approaching the peak season for travel. Chongqing, a popular tourist city with high-rises, not only Hongyadong, but also many little-known treasures and scenery.👌 1️⃣Causeway Mountain Mine Park: There are 41 large and small mines in the park, and now only No. 7,8, 11, 12 and 13 are open. The previously abandoned mines have been transformed and have now been refreshed, and are affectionately praised by people as "Chongqing Jiuzhaigou" 2️⃣Xiahaoli Old Street: One of the typical old streets in Chongqing, now there are still old sites such as the consulate. Compared with the hustle and bustle of Hongya Cave, it is quieter here, and it is very good for taking photos and punching in! 3️⃣Huang Gegu Road: The main city of Chongqing is one of the few century-old ancient roads. The ancient road is built on the mountains. The dense woods are full of Huangge ancient trees that have experienced hundreds of years of ups and downs. Today, Huangge Ancient Road has become a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. 4️⃣The heart of the old village of King Kongbei Hot Spring: It is only an hour's drive from the Liberation Monument, which is different from other commercial scenic spots. Here you can feel the tranquility and beauty of the passage of time, 5️⃣Guangyang Island: Guangyang Island is very large, and there are not many people even in Zhouwei. There are many places to take photos and punch in on the island, and the ranch is even more super. Every season has its own different beauty throughout the year. 6️⃣big foot stone carvings: As the saying goes, "North Dunhuang, South Dazu" On the steep hillside of Chongqing Dazu, there are a series of rare rock carvings, which is a model of Chinese grotto temple art. 📍Enjoy your trip of Chongqing China 🇨🇳 #hiddengem #chongqing #China #forest #lakeHazi K10

One of the Oldest Shopping Streets in CQAs an ancient town in the Shapingba District of Chongqing, we had to go and check out what all the fuss was about during our visit there. This old architectural landmark has a history of around 1,000 years, and there are still sections of it that live on today that will allow you a glimpse into the past. It wsa pretty busy throughout our visit during National Week, but it was still a great place to wander through for a couple of hours, dipping into quaint little boutique shops, trying some local delicacies and snapping pictures of the picturesque buildings. Plus, you’ll find so many places cooking up fresh chilli sauce - you can literally smell the spice in the air. Find it: Chongqing #momentsmissionMichaela (@uncoveringcities)103

Come to Chongqing to experience Zhao Zhao's live performance, check in to this 5D city, and explore the history of this land~ 1. Yangtze River Cableway 'If you haven't seen the night view, you haven't been to Chongqing.' Taking the Yangtze River Cableway, which spans about a kilometer, is a great way to get a close look at Chongqing's night scenery. The brilliantly lit Yuzhong Peninsula, the dazzling Binjiang Road, the sparkling waters of the Yangtze River, and the colorful bridges crossing the river all complement each other. If you take the cableway on a drizzly night, you can also enjoy a watercolor ink painting of 'Ba Mountains' Night Rain', capturing the rain-soaked city amidst the mountains and forests. 2. Hongya Cave Folk Custom Scenic Area The Hongya Cave Folk Custom Scenic Area is a great place to stroll through the old streets of the mountain city, enjoy the view of the two rivers, and taste local delicacies. The Hongya Cave commercial street is located on Cangbai Road in Yuzhong District, in the riverside area where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers meet. It features the traditional Bayu architecture of 'stilted buildings', built along the mountain and river. 3. Ciqikou Ancient Town Visit Ciqikou Ancient Town, the bustling water and land port of the past. Walk on the cobblestone paths, taste the local snacks, find a teahouse to sit in, and experience the local customs of old Chongqing.

Chongqing One-Day TourChongqing: Punch-In Style Travel (Two Days) Hard seat for ten hours, arrived at 5.2 noon, then went straight to sightseeing without rest (because the hotel I stayed at was not very convenient for transportation, a bit far from the downtown area). 5.2 afternoon Liberation Monument → Guanyin Bridge → Eighteen Stairs → Hongya Cave (so crowded, couldn't really see anything) 5.3 Zoo → Liziba → Ciqikou p5 First time trying Chayanyuese tea, hehe it's tasty and I love it p6p7 Only briefly walked a bit of the Eighteen Stairs, didn't explore the whole area, regrettable p8 The zoo was the right choice, definitely worth a visit, full of emotional value Personal experience and lessons: Accommodation must be chosen close to the subway entrance (it's convenient to take the subway in Chongqing, with extensive coverage); as for food, everyone has their own taste, I don't dare to comment randomly, I personally find it okay, mainly trying out new things; the weather is not cold, but it depends on the individual, some people are cold-sensitive (short sleeves + light jacket), it's also fine to wear skirts and short sleeves directly. Conclusion: The short time spent sightseeing is really not because I don't want to, but because of limited holiday time! In my view, Chongqing has a sense of technology + cyberpunk style (truly a personal feeling), with a strong sense of gradient layers, giving me a unique experience, definitely worth spending more time to experience and see. I love Chongqing, Chongqing, we will meet again.Wyatt.Morris^41

There are several Chen Mahua shops along the street, almost every one of them has a queue, and all offer samples for tasting before buying, which is definitely the right way to go. Handmade peanut brittle is also very good, you can see the masters pounding the peanut brittle on the spot, and then cutting it into small pieces after pounding. The aroma can be smelled from far away. Remember to try the handmade glutinous rice cake, priced at 10 yuan each, all handmade with a variety of flavors, such as osmanthus, sesame peanut, soybean walnut, and granulated sugar, soft and sweet. There are also quite a few attractions inside Ciqikou Ancient Town, such as Hanlin Academy, Zhong Family Courtyard, Baoshan Palace, Baolun Temple, Huangjueping Archway, etc., strolling and eating at the same time is very pleasant.jacksonsunflower

Today is the last day in Chongqing, I went to the ancient town of Ciqikou. This place is bigger than I thought. It is still very tired to walk around. However, the commercialization is too serious, and the shops on both sides are basically selling the same tourist goods, and there are no special features.
The second time I went to Ciqikou, I love you. This tavern is a bit green and yellow. There is nothing else to change. It is still very suitable for punching in and taking pictures. This time I bought a cheongsam and went with my girlfriends to the place I have been. It is also an unforgettable experience.
