Traditional scenic spot of Shancheng Lane in Chongqing

There are many big cities in the world, and Chongqing, located in the southwest of China, is a special city. Why?

Because its mother city, Yuzhong District, is built on the mountain, wherever it goes, it feels like climbing a mountain, either climbing up or walking down. It is precisely because of this magical terrain that Chongqing has quickly become the "shoulder pole" of tourism, attracting a large number of tourists every year.

Hongyadong, Chaotianmen, Jie Fangbei, Liziba and other scenic spots in Chongqing are all in Yuzhong District, and there is a mountain path built along the cliff not far from Jie Fangbei Business Circle, which is called the "Architectural Museum" of Chongqing.

Although the trail goes from low to high, it is a little tired to climb it, but every day tourists are still like clouds, because it is so different.

Chongqing people prefer to call the mountain trail "mountain lane", which is more interesting in Chongqing's words, but when visiting the trail, they also see many signs of "Happiness is a foggy city", which is very grounded.

In fact, there are many similar trails in Chongqing, but the mountain lanes are built along the river and the landscape is quite special. Another reason is that it has been fully upgraded and looks more cultural than other trails.

According to local friends, the former mountain towns and alleys looked shabby and lacked decent business, but they were very grounded. For a time, she often came to collect folk songs. This ascending hutong condenses the streets and lanes of old Chongqing and is one of the main facades of mountain city culture.

Today's Shancheng Hutong is a paradise of Wen Qing. Along the way, there are not only coffee shops, boutiques, creative spaces, museums, but also many former residences of celebrities, as well as colorful paintings and graffiti full of life.

In Shancheng Hutong, you can find many snacks that you can't find in downtown. It is a very special feeling to sit around the small table in the street stall and enjoy the food while enjoying the people coming and going on the trail and the city scenery on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Small shops in Shancheng Hutong are mainly distributed in areas facing the Yangtze River. Walking along the trail, you can also see the ancient city walls of the Ming Dynasty, as well as diaojiao buildings, quadrangles, bomb shelters, churches built in the early days of Chongqing's opening, and foreign consulates.

Shancheng Lane is an early residential gathering place in Chongqing, where there are many low river-view houses.

If there is no way to stay in Chongqing for too long, walking in the alleys of the mountain city can be regarded as a one-sided quick look at the city.

The history of Shancheng Hutong can be traced back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. 1972 was called Tiandeng Lane and Tiandeng Street. The reason is that in 1900, missionaries from France erected telephone poles on the slopes of alleys to light up the lights and illuminate pedestrians. From a distance, it looks like a heavenly street, which is very spectacular.
