Introduction of Chongqing Hongyadong Scenic Spot

Diaojiaolou Group 1

Diaojiaolou, as a unique traditional residential building in southwest China, can be traced back to before the Eastern Han Dynasty. Because there are many mountains in Chongqing and the land is tight, generations have used the mountains to adapt to local conditions. They use wooden strips and bamboo squares to hang imaginary houses and steep walls to build buildings on the mountain.

2. The cliff is green

Hongya Dike Team is located on the first floor of Hongyadong Scenic Area and is listed as one of the "Twelve Scenes of Old Bayu". The area around Hongyadong used to be shaded by trees, so many trees stored water. A small stream oozes from the forest, flows along Dayanggou and Huixian Bridge to the vicinity of Hongyadong, forming a waterfall, falling on the cliff, and then merging into a trickle from top to bottom along the rock. In the rainy season, water drips from the cliff bit by bit, and the water drops are reflected by the sun like green pearls and jasper, so some scholars call it "dripping green on the cliff".

3. The two rivers meet.

The two rivers meet, and the Yangtze River and Jialing River meet at Chaotianmen Wharf in Chongqing, forming a symbolic beauty with the "natural characteristics" and "core temperament" of a landscape city. The cliffs of the two rivers are densely covered with cliffs and swallow nests. As long as there are sandy cliffs, there may be cliff swallows nesting, but they have higher requirements on the environment and usually choose places with few people and rich aquatic plants.

4. Exotic streets

Exotic Street, a small part of the overall landscape of Hongyadong, is located on the 9- 10 floor (for many people, it is the 1-2 floor below the platform), where there are gourmet restaurants from all over the world and river view cafes. It is near the river, and you can enjoy delicious food and see the river view.

5. Hongya Group Sculpture

The sculpture of Hongya Group is located in the balcony square in the center of the city. The main sculpture is "Memory Mountain City" by Guo Xuanchang, which is about13m high and 8m wide. It is a giant brass sculpture. The base of the sculpture is the cliff by the river in old Chongqing, on which stands a diaojiao building, which reproduces the amorous feelings along the river in old Chongqing.
