Chongqing harbors a hidden ancient charm, a tranquil haven amidst the bustling cityscape in Spirited Away

In the busy main city of Chongqing, there lies a hidden gem that soothes the soul - the Xiliu Hollow Ancient Town. Its unique allure is by no means inferior to the famous Hongya Cave. A day trip full of wonders: During the day, you can head to Baiju Temple Bridge to experience its unique charm. Or set up a tent by the river for a picnic, enjoying the happy life of the people in Banan. In the afternoon, stroll along the stone-paved roads of the ancient town, feeling the weight of history. Climb up to the Bao'en Pagoda to overlook the magnificent view of the Yangtze River, with nothing obstructed. As night falls, the cozy little taverns of Xiliu Hollow Ancient Town invite you to spend a delightful time. The environment here is like a standalone courtyard, with an artfully designed bar perfect for taking photos. Taste a variety of authentic snacks and visually appealing wines, along with delicious dishes such as spicy chicken, toothpick beef, and dry pot shrimp waiting for you to try. From Friday to Saturday night at 19:00, there's even live singing to bring you unparalleled relaxation and pleasure. Travel tips: The lights in the ancient town are usually turned on around 18:30. When the sky is slightly dark, the integration of the lights and the ancient town is even more perfect. At this time, you can also enjoy a splendid music and light show. It's worth mentioning that both admission and parking here are free!
