What are the interesting places in Chongqing?

Just like Chongqing hot pot with unique ingredients and diverse dishes, Chongqing, a city with unique and rich temperament, stands among the mountains and rivers in the southwest. It is built on the mountain and is called "Mountain City" and "Fog City". It is said that the sun can't be seen for more than 100 days in a year, which is more than the foggy days in London, the world-famous foggy city. Its unique architecture is called 3D City and Magic City. Its traffic is special, with three-dimensional, narrow roads, many slopes and many one-way streets, which especially tests drivers' driving skills and familiarity with road conditions. Here, except the map, people have no direction. This is also an inclusive city. The Millennium heritage of Hongya Cave and the modernity of Jie Fangbei, the freshness of literature and art in Sichuan and the street fireworks on the trail, the leisure of Ciqikou and the noise of Chaotianmen all shine brilliantly and complement each other, which is not abrupt at all.

Liziba light rail passes through the building, which is the magical traffic of a magical city.

The light rail passes through a tall building, and you may feel the same as the subway, but occasionally you turn your head or the opposite window is not covered properly, and when the car suddenly lights up, you will find that it is driving in the air. Being in it, there is a feeling of time travel. Nothing is more pleasant than walking through the tall buildings in the city, which is different from the experience of taking trains, subways and buses.

Liziba's monorail train passed through the building and was described by them as letting the bullets fly for a while. Some tourists really suggested that the rail train be made into the shape of a bullet and let it penetrate the humid gray-blue sky in Chongqing. Therefore, Liziba Light Rail Station attracts many people to pick up their mobile phones at the bottom and shoot at the top at 45 degrees every day. Everyone has also played misplaced videos, such as "eating" the speeding train with their mouths open, opening their cuffs and backpacks, loading the train in, and competing to play the video. Officials also set up an observation deck for this purpose.

When I saw this public toilet, I knew that Liziba Station probably wanted to spoil the powder to the end ~

Walking out of Liziba Station, if you want to feel the charm of Chongqing Mountain City, you may wish to go to Liziba air-raid shelter and three-story road not far from the station. As an important "witness" in the history of Chongqing, in fact, many people are very curious. The long air-raid shelter passage at the entrance is covered with lanterns of various colors, as well as graffiti walls and swings for punching in photos.

There are a thousand hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, but there may only be one gas station in the eyes of a thousand people: a ceiling with no sense of design, several tankers that all look the same, and the same layout? In fact, every gas station in America has its own beauty.

Chongqing, an 8D city, always brings us surprises, such as this Gui Huayuan gas station transformed from a bomb shelter. Go right along the building below, or turn right when the Liziba light rail comes out, and you can see this distinctive gas station not far away.

There is one-way traffic in Gui Huayuan, and the entrance and exit are located at both ends of the shelter. Although the area is not large, it has already become a place for online celebrities. The reasons are nothing more than these: the bomb shelter was built in the 1970 s, and history lovers came here; Because of people's curiosity, cars "piercing holes" are considered "very Chongqing"; It's cool in the cave, and it's also a summer resort for mountain bike drivers to refuel in summer ~

Hongyadong Chihiro Chongqing Edition

After coming to Chongqing, Hongyadong should be one of the favorite places to go in the evening. When the whole Hongyadong is brightly lit, it is also its busiest time. It is also common for countless tourists to punch in and take pictures while eating. As another popular photography destination in Chongqing, I recommend you to stay away from it, because the right distance can just spy out all its beauty.

Speaking of Hongyadong, it can be traced back to the early Ming Dynasty. When Dai Ding built Chongqing City, seventeen gates were built, divided into nine and eight, and Hongya Gate was closed.

Although it was a door, it was actually more like a tower, because there was no door to enter and exit at that time, and it was purely used for fortifications. Ming never put two cannons on the city wall, which is said to be used to defend Zhang. At that time, there was a cliff between Linjiangmen and Siqianmen, and both the city wall and Hongyamen were built on the cliff. There is a hole under the cliff on the right side of Hongya Gate, which is Hongya Cave. At that time, Zhang invaded Chongqing from this hole.

After eight years of anti-Japanese war, the population of Chongqing exploded. Hongyadong is called the Hua 'er Beggars' Sect because it can shelter from the wind and rain. It was not until the 1940s that a path was built on the cliff to connect with the outside of the city. At that time, the pier under Hongyadong was quite lively, and rows of diaojiao buildings began to be built under the cliffs on both sides of Hongyadong. Because the layers are stacked, patchwork and swaying, it constitutes the unique scenery of Chongqing.

During the day in Hongyadong, we enjoyed the diaojiao building on the banks of the Chongqing River, as well as the surrounding stone carvings and woodcarvings, and even the famous short stories, and of course the legends and quotations of free evaluation.

The night view of Chongqing is called "Little Hong Kong". Chongqing city is surrounded by rivers on three sides and mountains on one side, with undulating terrain. Built on the mountain, the buildings are springing up, the roads are spiraling up, and the city has a unique style, thus forming a wonderful night scene. Whenever night falls, thousands of lights go up and down, just like the stars in the sky, very magnificent ~

Some people say that Hongyadong is the blueprint of Miyazaki Hayao Spirited Away Bathhouse, but if we calculate by time, it may be more appropriate to take the Diaojiao Building on the riverside of Chongqing as the blueprint. But whether or not Miyazaki Hayao really has a reference to the diaojiao building, I have to admit that it does have the flavor of Miyazaki Hayao animation, especially the night view at night, which is simply beautiful ~

Longmen Hao bluestone ladder, blue brick wall, sky blue sky blue clothes.

Longmenhao Old Street is located in the middle section of Nanbin Road, facing the Yangtze River and backed by Nanshan, with a panoramic view of downtown Chongqing. The old street is built on the mountain with a drop of nearly 50 meters. The characteristics of the mountain city are vividly displayed here. From a distance, each building is endowed with different styles and tastes.

"Hao" is naturally hydrophilic, and the old street is naturally close to the mountain. From bottom to top, I had to panted up the steep stone steps. Of course, you can also take the elevator, but you can't taste what Chongqing is-Chongqing that gives you hardships and gives you good times, which is called Chongqing with good times. Climbing halfway up the mountain, it seems that everything is suddenly enlightened. There are many towering old trees along the road. If you look down from a height, you will find that the whole old street is hidden in this dense shade. Between these old trees planted a hundred years ago, there are occasionally some houses interspersed. They are the former site of the Italian Embassy, the former site of the martial arts school of the American Embassy and the former site of the Chongqing Customs Villa. They are layered and scattered on the hillside with a vertical height of 40 meters, forming the "World Architecture Expo Park".

In recent years, these "drooping old people" covered by green vines have been rejuvenated and continue to describe their life experiences fairly and objectively without prejudice. We really shouldn't look down on these houses made of stones, bricks and wood. Don't think that they don't have a body temperature, let alone be glib and at the mercy of others. As everyone knows, as long as they are still standing there, it is real history, and there is no room for fiction and romance.

Because of this, the restorers of Longmen Hao Old Street are cautious. On the whole, they adopt the architectural style of retreating from the mountain, which contains a kind of respect, cherish, tolerance, persistence, concession, reconciliation and difference, making it very mountain city and Chongqing. They also hired first-class craftsmen to restore cultural relics, and used 6.5438+0.6 million old bricks and 400,000 old buildings collected from various places. "Repairing the old as the old" has created a comprehensive museum-style block for Chongqing, storing the city's history, humanities, events, folk customs and legends. What makes me glad is that the craftsmen have not disturbed the big trees here, and the roots of these trees are still entangled in the old days more than 100 years ago.

This kind of carefully pieced bricks and tiles are still trying to keep the original appearance of the old buildings, just like the roots of pueraria lobata winding up along various cracks under the wall, clinging and supporting them to prevent them from disappearing into the dust of history.

Compared with most scenic spots, it is really quiet and not crowded here. Climb up again, and you will reach the "peak" of the old street. Here, it is the most beautiful city balcony in Chongqing. The foreground is that the whole Yuzhong Peninsula looks like Youlong, and the close shot is the flying of Dongshuimen Bridge.

Most ancient towns only have China architecture, but Longmen Hao has many western elements, just because it used to be a pier and many foreign embassies gathered there. The United States, Italy and Belgium have set up offices here, leaving traces of these westerners.

But the closest contact with Longmenhao Old Street is to find a place to really sit down and have a drink, just like sitting here ~

Under the Dongshuimen Bridge, rail transit trains whizzed by from time to time; There has been a fierce and harmonious collision between tradition and modernity.

Unlike most shops in the ancient town, there are more restaurants here than souvenirs. There is food and drink, and it is not pleasant to see the scenery by the mountains and rivers.

There is a "fumen" in Longmen Hao, right in the middle of the old street. On the thick wall on the right side of the gatehouse, there is a big Kangxi imperial pen engraved. Walking through the government door, it was smooth and smooth.

Find a restaurant, sit on the terrace and look up at the Yangtze River cableway slowly sliding across the river. A cableway and a bridge connect the two sides; One shore is the prosperous Yuzhong Peninsula, and the other is the quiet and soft old city on the south bank. You don't need to dress up exquisitely, and you don't need to deliberately operate. You have your own time to decorate it.

Ciqikou thousand people hold hands during the day and thousands of lights come at night.

Ciqikou is located on the Jialing River in Shapingba District, only 3 kilometers away from the bustling main city. The traffic from the main city to the ancient town is quite convenient, probably because Chongqing has developed too fast in recent years. Out of the platform, we didn't realize that we had entered the suburbs, as if we were still in the bustling city center. Walk 100 meters along Tongtong Road, turn left and cross the crosswalk, and you will see the archway at the entrance of the ancient town. It may be influenced by the wide streets and tall buildings of Eryong Road, but the archway coordinated with the ancient town buildings is small. On the contrary, the couplets on the archway are more fascinating. "Thousands of people hold hands during the day and thousands of lights come at night." Not only is the handwriting like a dragonfly flying, but it also vividly records the prosperity of a thousand-year-old town.

After stepping into the tall stone archway engraved with the word "Ciqikou", there is a narrow and long slate road paved with bluestones. When people walk on the road, they occasionally hear the crisp sound of the slate. On both sides of the stone road, two or three-story buildings are crowded together, closely connected with each other and have their own characteristics. Small gables, wooden doors and windows, small blue tile roofs and wooden eaves are antique, showing the architectural style of Chongqing School. Moss growing in the corner of stone slabs, stone steps and building feet on the roadside exudes a musty smell, as if telling the long and ancient history of the town, adding a simple and heavy style to the ancient town.

Tourists walking on the stone road are weaving and rubbing shoulders. Occasionally, I saw three or two domestic dogs following their owners, wagging their heads and tails and coming vertically. It is rare to see an old woman reclining on a recliner under the eaves of a low-rise shop. She has silver hair, thin face, wrinkled forehead, closed eyes and no one around, as if listening to the hurried historical footsteps in the town, and as if silently guarding the ancient civilization in the porcelain mouth.

At Ciqikou, I tried to find traces of old porcelain that once brought prosperity to this town to prove its glory and glory. However, there are very few porcelains left to the porcelain mouth by the years. Only a few humble shops have seen modern porcelain such as spoons, plates and bowls. Ancient porcelain is scarce, and Ciqikou has evolved into a bustling tourist commercial street.

The entrance to the ancient town is already crowded and bustling. Tourists with different accents have taken photos in front of Ciqikou archway, and more young people have taken selfies in various poses. It seems that it is not only the bustling scene of ancient Ciqikou, but also the bustling grand occasion of Ciqikou today. Stepping into the ancient town, the streets suddenly narrowed and became particularly crowded. There are many shops on both sides, hugging each other tightly, and pedestrians jostle shoulder to shoulder, making it difficult to move. Immersed in the scene, it seems that you are in a bustling and crowded metropolis, as if you are catching up with the last venue years ago. If someone stands in front of the store to make an inquiry or take photos, the latecomers have to stop and wait.

At the Ciqikou of Shiban Road Commercial Street, several shops with "Chen Mahua" signs lined up in front of them, and people were waiting patiently to buy "Chen Mahua". It is said that this kind of twist is a famous specialty snack in Chongqing. Since the late Qing Dynasty, it has been famous for its crispy and unique taste and exaggerated metaphor of "chewing and disturbing people for ten miles". Therefore, people who come to Ciqikou, no matter how long the queue is, have to take a few boxes of "Chen Mahua" away from Ciqikou.

I am not interested in dough twists, but I am attracted by a teahouse. The most distinctive feature of the ancient town is the teahouse. There are more than a dozen teahouses in the hundreds of meters long old street, and the ancient style still exists. According to reports, there were 100 tea houses in the town at that time. Paoge, sailors and others like to go to the teahouse to drink tea and have a dragon gate array. Even dignitaries, celebrities and scholars like to come here to learn about people's feelings. The characteristic of Guzhen Teahouse is that it is equipped with storytelling service. Every teahouse invites storytellers to take the stage and list their own stories to attract business. Some of them are also equipped with Sichuan Opera Sitting Singing, Sichuan Yin Qing, Sichuan Zhu Qin and other artistic performances, so they are called "Bookstore Teahouse", also known as "Artist Teahouse".

When I came downstairs to a teahouse, I looked up. On another board upstairs, there are eight words written askew: "Drink tea, relax, watch the scenery, watch, brag and be in a daze", which is very close to the ground. Teahouses can be seen everywhere in Chongqing, at the mouth of porcelain ware. They are a shining local business card, forming a tea culture with unique regional characteristics. Tea culture has different interpretations in different teahouses. I think those eight words downstairs are the ideas that the store passed on to the tea drinkers.

Generous, enthusiastic and humorous Chongqing people love tea. It is appropriate and convenient to "make friends with tea" and "make friends with tea" Everyone gathered in the teahouse, soaked in a bowl of "Xiaguan Tuocha", slowly covered the bowl, and the tea was fragrant and savored. Broad sky, ancient and modern China and foreign countries, short parents, talk about everything. The echoes of history and modern civilization meet and blend in the teahouse, forming a unique and elegant Bayu tea culture landscape.

Ciqikou has a rich historical and cultural heritage, and there are many celebrities in Ciqikou town, "A stone road, a thousand years of porcelain mouth". Ding Zhaozhong is a world-famous physicist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics. He studied in Ciqikou Jialu Primary School during the Anti-Japanese War. Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Feng Zikai, Zong Baihua and other well-known national artists and aestheticians have all gathered on the Phoenix Mountain in Ciqikou.

A shining bluestone road has welcomed many business travelers and witnessed the rise and fall of Ciqikou for thousands of years. Ciqikou was built in the Xianping period of Song Zhenzong (998- 1003). It became a commercial dock where land and water meet, and it began to flourish in the Ming Dynasty and reached its peak in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Until the 1960s, with the relocation of docks and the development of highway traffic, Ciqikou, which had been busy for more than a thousand years, finally quieted down and gradually began to decline.

Ciqikou, formerly known as Baiyachang, has a white boulder cliff on the mountain. Later, because Emperor Wenjian of the Ming Dynasty hid in Baolun Temple for four or five years, the world renamed Baolun Temple as Longyin Temple and Baiyachang as Long Yin Town. In the early Qing Dynasty, Long Yin Town was rich in porcelain, which was exported to Sichuan, and its reputation was far-reaching. Because of its convenience, people in the post-Shang era slowly called Long Yin the hometown of porcelain. Because "porcelain" and "magnetism" are interlinked, it was later called porcelain mouth, which has continued to this day.

Most of the buildings along the street are bamboo and wood structures, which wear bucket walls or semi-wooden walls, and have the characteristics of residential buildings in eastern Sichuan. Most of the pavements enter three rooms at a time, and grow into deep units. It seems that the pavement is not big, but it is deep inside. Most of the old houses are engaged in local specialties, famous snacks, and tourist commodities of similar scenic spots across the country, or fruit candy paintings, cotton candy and so on. Occasionally, there are shops such as calligraphy and painting and clothing. All this is dazzling and dizzying.

Shops are densely arranged on both sides of the street, mostly bungalows or two-story buildings, with blue bricks and gray tiles, red columns and white walls, which are typical of Bayu architectural style. Shops sell everything, clothes, shoes, hats, handicrafts, everything. Snacks, in particular, are everywhere, hot and cold, vegetarian and meaty, fried and roasted, all with local flavor, which makes people drool. Buy it back quickly and eat it on the street, regardless of gender image.

Some stores also specially arrange the food production process in front of the door. You see, this man is standing by the door, beating Ciba with a long rammer. The man stood in front of the door and made the paste into rice noodles; In the shop here, the batter pan is shaken by the machine, and it is also like an adult pulling the pot; There are people performing Sichuan Opera on the steps over there to attract customers.

The snacks in the ancient town are very famous. Maoxuewang, Melaleuca bark and salted peanuts have become the famous "three treasures of diet". Guzhen chicken offal, handmade hot and sour powder, handmade rice cake, etc.

Generally speaking, it is commercialized, but in fact, it has always been a place that people love to go.

Chongqing people love to play mahjong, from old people to immature dolls. They are skilled, like playing mahjong all night and are addicted to the incomparable happiness brought by playing mahjong.

Idle old people, neighbors playing mahjong, children running around, old buildings, cats and dogs stretching? The whole picture exudes a strong atmosphere of old Chongqing.

Factory 202 opens a new world with the genes of old Chongqing.

Chongqing is a magical place, and the differences in geographical environment lead to unique scenery and architecture. In addition, Chongqing is the shooting place of major movies. "Transformers" was filmed in fairy mountain, and "Hot Pot Heroes" classmates joined the hot pot restaurant? The location in the movie "Through My World" is in Chongqing No.2 Factory.

When I came here early in the morning, the shops were closed and there were few tourists. There is a small shop selling ice cream at the door, and there is also a well-known online celebrity shop next to it.

At the beginning of its establishment, 1939 was called "the central bank printing factory of the Republic of China", which specialized in printing valuable securities and government documents such as banknotes, tax stamps and stamps.

It used to be the color printing center in Chongqing and the color printing giant in the southwest printing industry. It is said that it was Chongqing in the fifties and seventies, but almost all colored paper was printed here.

Blue stone steps, rusty railings, mossy tiles, mottled exterior walls, old wooden stairs? There is a literary atmosphere, but also the temperament of online celebrities.

To tell the truth, it's very small here, really small. It's really hard to imagine the embarrassing scene of queuing for photos at several "scenic spots" when there are many people here. Like many creative parks in China, there are some elements of taking pictures. If you must collect stamps and punch in, then come, and don't come if you have no time. Many creative parks in many cities are much better than here.

Airbus in the cableway mountain city of the Yangtze River

The Yangtze River Cableway is one step ahead of the popularity of "Chongqing, an Internet celebrity". Through a large number of appearances of major film and television dramas, it finally settled in the cable car on the river, which was famous for its unique air experience and occupied an absolute C position in the early city tour of Chongqing.

With the improvement of new urban public transport facilities, the traditional tools such as buses, ropeways and ferries have gradually lost some functions. Due to the special topography of Chongqing, "three-dimensional traffic" has formed its own characteristics which are different from other cities, and it is a strong morphological symbol of the mountain city. In the era when the two rivers cableway (Jialing River cableway and Yangtze River cableway) combined with two swords, these two aerial landscapes became the earliest city business cards in Chongqing. Whenever a movie or TV series comes to Chongqing to shoot, the ropeway shuttles back and forth between the two rivers, which will inevitably enter the directors' lens. Backpackers and photographers from other places will take the time to press the shutter.

In that era of underdeveloped traffic, the ropeway made Chongqing people feel what it was like to fly for the first time. Although the Yangtze River cableway at that time was not as developed in appearance or equipment as it is now, it was a unique memory of that era.

In the eyes of Chongqing people who are used to "big winds and big waves", the Yangtze River cableway is nothing more than a means of transportation, and its function is no different from that of public transportation and rail transit. But for many foreign tourists, ropeway is a way to understand the local culture and customs of Chongqing. After all, it is a unique and wonderful experience to overlook the bustling downtown of Chongqing and enjoy the magnificent scene of the intersection of the two rivers.

Once, the Yangtze River cableway gradually faded out of people's sight because of its high operating cost and low transportation efficiency. But now it has become a symbol of Chongqing's development, carrying countless people across the Yangtze River and enjoying the scenery of the mountain city every day. For old Chongqing people, the Yangtze River cableway always has a beautiful filter, which is the most unforgettable thing in memory.
