Eling Second Factory | The old factory becomes an internet celebrity
Eling Second Factory
A place that became famous due to the rise of the internet, its previous life was the Chongqing Printing Second Factory. Even before that, it was where the Nationalist Party printed currency and important documents during the war against Japan.
I remember coming up here from the International Village bus station before. In my memory, the mountain city's porter army has used this place for shooting scenes multiple times. I remember coming here when I first started working; it was right at the current main entrance. Almost ten years have passed, and even though the buildings here are still the old factory buildings, they have transformed into a cultural and creative park.
The Second Factory owes its popularity to 'Passing by Your Whole World', which made it thoroughly an internet celebrity.
The Second Factory actually symbolizes change and freshness. Too many old factory buildings couldn't be demolished and rebuilt, so they were given a new look to become fashionable. Eling Second Factory is a representative of this.
Now, the Second Factory Cultural and Creative Park is a gathering place for creators related to art, design, planning, branding, and media.
It is now even more suitable for taking photos and leisurely drinking tea.
In fact, locals rarely come here now, because it's reserved for tourists to take photos and create memories. But it's not convenient to drive here because of the uphill roads, and it's not really suitable for taking kids out in the sun. I've only brought friends from out of town here three times. It used to be less crowded and you could take photos at leisure, but now it's indeed getting more crowded, taking photos is like going to battle. However, I still hope it gets better and better.
Address: Just navigate to Eling Second Factory, driving is not recommended, although there is a parking lot nearby, the roads are narrow and can easily get congested. It's a 10-minute walk from Eling Station on Subway Line 1.
Tickets: It's an open scenic spot, no tickets required

It is the highest point of the Yuzhong Peninsula in Chongqing, and you can see the scenery of the Yangtze River and Jialing River at the same time. Near the factory, there are attractions such as Liziba Anti-Japanese War Site Park, General Stilwell's former residence, Liziba Metro Station. It is a new landmark of Chengyi Trend. The Eling Park near Wenchuang Park is located at the highest point of the Chongqing Peninsula. It is overlooked from the building and has a panoramic view of the two rivers. If you watch the sea of lights in the evening, it is even more unique. Entering an old factory building in Elingyi Factory, I saw those stone ladders that have been trampled all year round and the handrails that have been painted off. It is easy to pull people back to more than ten years ago. It is like returning to the old school, and going up and down the stairs every day. Every corner of the factory is very suitable for taking pictures of the outside scene
The second factory Wenchuang Park is located at No. 1 Eling Main Street, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, formerly the central bank printing plant built in 1937, after liberation, it was changed to the second factory in Chongqing, and the factory closed down. The old factory building has been transformed into a cultural and creative park, with fresh decorations and paintings on the walls, becoming a local literary landmark, and foreign tourists often check in here.
Arrived in Chongqing before noon in the morning by plane, arranged accommodation at the hotel near the two intersections, checked Gaode, walked about 2 kilometers from the hotel to Liziba, and decided to walk to Liziba to check in the net red attraction light rail through the building. From the hotel, I saw many rare life scenes along the way, which also caused my memories. The most impressive impression I have given to Chongqing this time is that people here love life more. Stop and stop, the streets and roadside leisure people in Chongqing attract me. Walking and walking, I found that many young people came out of a high-level ladder path. After inquiring, I realized that this high ladder road is the nearest road to Liziba Light Rail Station. Calculate, go to the Lizichang first, return to the original road and then go to Liziba. Climb along this high ladder road, through the corridor, across the alley, tired breath, finally saw the net red punch point factory. Share this experience with everyone. If you come to Chongqing, you want to punch in the net red attractions of the factory and Liziba to cross the building, climb up to see the scenery of the two rivers and the shadow of the old Chongqing without modification. It is best to choose to take a car to Eling Park. From Eling Park, walk to the factory, and then walk to Liziba, all the way downhill. Easy to visit three attractions.
Several Chongqing friends recommended Eling Yichang Wenchuang Park, so they took the time to stroll around. There are a lot of young ladies here, and they are taking beautiful photos. You can see the scenery of the two rivers from a high place. The rooftop here is also the scene of the movie "Passing by from your world". In fact, this is the predecessor of the Chongqing printing second factory, has long been closed, now this cultural and creative park, there are many net red storefronts.
