Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street
0095***32Very good food commercial pedestrian street developed. The lights are brilliant. I came on a non-holiday in early December, not many tourists. In this case, can the store maintain the cost? Looking at the Raiders, the price of Bayi Haochi Street or Food Street is a bit high. I checked it on the spot and it seems to be slightly higher. The key is that the quality of food and cooking skills and taste are really average. Gives a feeling of cutting wool from foreign tourists. And the store operates similar varieties and competes fiercely with each other. In this case, can this prosperity continue? I hope that local market managers can think of countermeasures in time.

It is located at No. 88, Jialingjiang Binjiang Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing. It is located in the riverside area where the Yangtze River and Jialing River meet.

Hongya was built on top of Hongyadong, which was originally an open door. In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1371), Dai Ding rebuilt Chongqing City and built nine open and eight closed gates. Hongyamen was a closed gate, and Hongyadong became one with it. Hongyadong had become a commercial district in the Ming Dynasty, and developed into a prosperous wharf in the Qing Dynasty, belonging to the trade center of Chongqing. From the 1920s to the 1930s, Hongyamen was destroyed, and people lived in Hongyadong, built stilt houses, and built Zhiyanhe Lane. During the Anti-Japanese War, Hongyadong was a refuge for Chongqing citizens. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hongyadong was listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Chongqing and began to become an important tourist attraction. In 2003, Hongyadong was officially demolished and rebuilt. In 2006, the Hongyadong Folk Customs Area was completed and opened in September of the same year. The main attractions of the scenic area are stilt houses, antique commercial streets, Hongya Dicui and other landscapes, and there are specialty restaurants, leisure and entertainment, Bayu folk crafts and other shops.

Fairy Mountain National Forest Park
宁宁不相见Fairy Mountain is a place in Chongqing that is a little closer to the main city where you can see snow and play in the snow at close range. It is cost-effective. If it snows in the scenic area, it is really beautiful. The silver-clad snow and the small train shuttle through the snow country give you a feeling of being in a fairyland.
However, there are many people, so it will not be beautiful if you encounter traffic jams during peak hours.
Chaotianmen Square
一一只可爱的可乐啊Chongqing Chaotianmen
1. Historical and cultural value:
- Advantages:
- Chaotianmen has a long history and is one of the 17 ancient city gates in Chongqing. It carries the historical memory of Chongqing for more than 2,300 years. The origin of its name is related to the ancient function of "welcoming officials and saints" and has a profound historical heritage. It has witnessed the development and changes of Chongqing from ancient times to modern times. It is an important symbol of Chongqing's history and culture and has important value for studying Chongqing's urban development and historical evolution. For example, this was an important place for Chongqing to open its port. In 1891, Chongqing Customs was established in Chaotianmen, opening a new chapter in Chongqing's foreign exchanges.
- Cultural relics from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the ninth period of the Republic of China have also been unearthed here. There are many historical and cultural relics and attractions around it, such as Huguang Guild Hall, which echo each other, forming a rich historical and cultural landscape group, attracting tourists interested in history and culture to explore.
- Disadvantages: In the process of urban modernization, some historical relics of Chaotianmen have been damaged or changed to a certain extent. For example, the original Chaotianmen tower has long disappeared, and what we see now is the rebuilt gate. In the process of reconstruction, there are some disputes about the protection and inheritance of historical culture. Some historical and cultural researchers believe that the newly built antique gates and walls are different from historical records in terms of location and form.
2. Landscape features:
- Advantages:
- Unique landscape of the intersection of two rivers: Chaotianmen is located at the intersection of Jialing River and Yangtze River, with Jialing River on the left and Yangtze River on the right. The two rivers meet here, and the water color of the river is clear and turbid, forming a unique "Jia Ma Shui" landscape, also known as "Yuanyang Hot Pot". This natural landscape is rare throughout the country and has a strong ornamental value.
- Rich architectural landscape: Today, there is a modern Raffles Square around Chaotianmen. Its architectural shape is unique. The 8 towers face the water to the north. From a distance, it looks like a huge sail, which means "sailing to the sky" and has become a new landmark building in Chongqing. It contrasts with the traditional Chaotianmen landscape, showing a unique style of blending ancient and modern times.
- Gorgeous and charming night view: Chongqing's night view is already famous for its brilliance, and Chaotianmen, as an important landmark in Chongqing, is particularly gorgeous under the illumination of lights at night. Whether standing on Chaotianmen Square to enjoy the night view of lights on the other side of the river, or taking a cruise on the river to enjoy the night view of Chaotianmen and its surroundings, people can feel the unique charm of Chongqing's night view.
- Disadvantages: After the renovation, some areas of Chaotianmen Square had a situation where the city wall was too high to block the view of the river, which caused complaints from citizens and tourists. However, the relevant departments have rectified this problem, lowered the height of the wall, and improved the viewing experience.
3. Business atmosphere:
- Advantages:
- Prosperous wholesale market: Chaotianmen is an important commodity wholesale market in Chongqing. There are many large wholesale markets here, such as Daronghui, Yupai, Shengming, Dasheng, etc. There are rich varieties of goods, covering multiple categories such as clothing, leather goods, luggage, etc., which not only radiate the Chongqing area, but also attract merchants from surrounding Hubei, Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places. Whether wholesale or retail, it can meet the needs of different consumers.

Of course, Chongqing has places to play in addition to places to eat. I will recommend some to you (only my personal suggestions). The first one: Guoguoyan Shuibakuai Hotpot (Nanbin Road Store). "Guoguoyan" in Chongqing dialect means the family wine game played in childhood. "Shuibakuai" was originally a hot food eaten by Chongqing dock workers in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The decoration of the store is very characteristic of old Chongqing. The hot pot is the authentic Chongqing old hot pot method. The best thing is that the river view is excellent, looking directly at Yuzhong Raffles Square, and the intersection of the two rivers is in full view.

After several improvements, they have been popular for a long time.
Address: No. 29, Nanbin Road, No. 3-30, Coral Metropolis Agricultural Bank
The third one: Dongyuan 1891 Night Market
After eating Chongqing's hot pot, Jianghu cuisine and noodles, you might as well visit the night market on Nanbin Road. There is not only the atmosphere of fireworks, but also the beautiful night view of Chongqing. In April, come to Nanbin Road to blow the evening breeze by the river.
Address: Dongyuan 1891, Nanbin Road
The fourth one: Dongxibaba
After walking through the lively fireworks of the city, I want to sit down and drink tea and chat, and steal half a day of leisure in the gentle river breeze. Dongxibaba (East Tea and West Coffee), located on the platform of the Kaibu Ruins Park on Nanbin Road, is worth a visit.
