What are the interesting places in Chongqing?

Just like Chongqing hot pot, with unique ingredients and diverse dishes, Chongqing is a unique and temperamental city, standing among the mountains and rivers in the southwest. It is built on the mountain and is known as "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 foggy than the world-famous foggy capital London. 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. Hongyadong's Millennium heritage and Jie Fangbei's modernity, Sichuan's fresh literature and art and fireworks on the trail, Ciqikou's leisurely life and Chaotianmen's prosperous life are all complementary and not contradictory at all.

Liziba

Light Rail Crossing Building, Magic Traffic in Magic City

Walking through a high-rise light rail building may feel like a subway, but occasionally you turn your head or the opposite window is not covered, and the car suddenly lights up, and you will find it driving in the air. Among them, there is a feeling of time travel. Nothing is more pleasant than walking in the tall buildings of the city, which is different from the experience of taking trains, subways and buses.

Liziba's monorail train passed through the building, and they said it was to let the bullets fly for a while. Some tourists really suggest that the railway 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 below and look up to shoot on it every day. We also have staggered video shooting, such as "eating" the speeding train with our mouths open, opening cuffs and backpacks, loading the train in, and scrambling to release videos. An observation platform was established for this purpose.

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

After leaving Liziba Station, if you want to feel the charm of Chongqing Mountain City, you may wish to go to Liziba air-raid shelter and the third floor road not far from the station. As an important witness of Chongqing's history, many people are actually curious about the bomb shelter. 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 without design sense, several tankers that all look the same, and the same layout. In fact, beautiful gas stations have their 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 take the Liziba light rail and turn right. You can see this distinctive gas station not far away.

In the one-way traffic in Gui Huayuan, the entrance and exit are located at both ends of the bomb shelter. Although the area is small, it has already become a gathering 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, the "piercing" of cars is considered "very Chongqing"; It's cool in the cave, and it's also a summer resort for drivers in mountain cities to refuel in summer ~

Hongyadong

Chongqing version of Spirited Away

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

Speaking of Hongyadong, it dates back to the early Ming Dynasty. When Dai Ding built Chongqing City, he built seventeen gates, which were divided into nine gates, eight gates and Hongya Gate.

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 the city wall and Hongyamen were built on the cliff. There is a hole under the cliff directly below Hongya Gate, which is Hongya Cave. At that time, Zhang invaded Chongqing from this hole.

1988 During the Anti-Japanese War, the population of Chongqing exploded. Because Hongyadong can shelter from the wind and rain, it is called the Flower Beggars' Sect. In the 1940s, there was a path on the cliff to communicate with the outside of the city. At that time, there was a pier under Hongyadong, which was quite lively. Rows of diaojiao buildings began to be built under the cliffs on both sides of Hongyadong. Because the layers are stacked and swaying, it constitutes the unique scenery of Chongqing.

During the daytime in Hongyadong, we enjoyed the diaojiao building on the riverside of Chongqing, the stone carvings around it, even short stories that are far from true and false, and of course, legends and quotations that can be commented freely.

The night view of Chongqing is called "Little Hong Kong". Chongqing is surrounded by rivers on three sides and mountains on one side, with undulating terrain. The city is built on the mountain, with buildings cascading, roads spiraling up, and the city has a unique style, forming a magnificent night scene. Whenever night falls, the lights go up and down, just like the starry sky, which is extremely magnificent ~

Some people say that the bath building in Spirited Away, Miyazaki Hayao is based on Hongyadong, but if we estimate it by time, it may be more appropriate to say that the diaojiao building on the riverside of Chongqing is based on the blueprint. But whether Miyazaki Hayao really refers to the Diaojiao Building or not, I have to admit that it does have the flavor of Miyazaki Hayao animation, especially the night view at night, which is absolutely beautiful ~

Longmenhao

Bluestone ladder, blue brick wall, sky blue clothes.

Longmen Old Street is located in the middle section of Nanbin Road, facing the Yangtze River and backed by Nanshan, giving you a panoramic view of Yuzhong Scenic Area. The old street is built on the mountain with a drop of nearly 50 meters. The characteristics of the mountain city have been fully demonstrated 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, we had to panted up and down the steep stone stairs. Of course you can also take the elevator, but you can't taste what Chongqing is. Chongqing, which gives you hardships, gives you good times and gives you good times. Climbing halfway up the mountain, it seems that everything is suddenly enlightened. There are many towering old trees by the roadside. If you look down from a height, you will find that the whole old street is hidden in this dense shade. These old trees planted a hundred years ago dot some houses. They are the former site of Italian Embassy, the former site of Wushu School of American Embassy and the former site of Chongqing Customs Villa. They are layered and located on a hillside with a vertical height of 40 meters, and have been built into the "World Architecture Expo Park".

In recent years, these "old people" who used to be covered with green vines have been rejuvenated in the buildings of Longmenhao Old Street and continue to tell their life experiences impartially and objectively. We really shouldn't look down on these houses made of stone, brick 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, the real history is telling, and there is no room for fiction and romance.

Because of this, the builders who restored Longmenhao Old Street were cautious, and adopted the architectural style of retreating from the mountain as a whole, which implied a kind of respect, cherish, tolerance, persistence, concession, summation and seeking common ground while reserving differences for the local water and soil, making it a mountain city in Chongqing, and hired first-class cultural relics restoration craftsmen, who collected 6.5438+0.6 million old bricks, 400,000 old tiles and 30,000 tons from all over the country.

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. This is the most beautiful balcony in Chongqing, overlooking the whole Yuzhong Peninsula like Youlong, close to Dongshuimen Bridge.

Most ancient towns only have China architecture, but Longmenhao has many western elements, just because it used to be a pier, where many foreign embassies gathered. The United States, Italy and Belgium set up stores here one after another, leaving traces of these westerners' visits.

However, the best way to get in touch with Longmen Hao Old Street is to find a place to really sit down, drink some wine and eat something, just like sitting here ~

Under the Dongshuimen Bridge, rail transit trains whizzed by from time to time; With the modern, so fierce and harmonious collision together.

Unlike similar shops in most ancient towns, there are more restaurants here than souvenirs. Eating, drinking and watching the scenery can't be said to be unpleasant.

Longmen Hao in the middle of the old street has a "fumen". On the thick wall on the right side of the gatehouse, there is a big blessing written by Emperor Kangxi. Go through this door and you will succeed.

Find a restaurant, sit on the terrace and look up at the Yangtze River cableway slowly sliding across the river in the distance. A cableway, a bridge, connecting 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 operate deliberately. You have your own time to decorate it.

Ciqikou

Thousands of people give up during the day, and ten thousand lights come at night.

Ciqikou is located on the Jialing River in Shapingba District, only 3 kilometers away from the urban area. The traffic between the main city and the ancient town is quite convenient, probably because Chongqing has developed too fast in recent years. When we got off the platform, we realized that we had entered the suburbs, as if we were still in the bustling downtown. Go straight along Tong Tong Road 100 meters, 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 and tall buildings on Yong Er Road, but the archway is in harmony with the ancient town building, which seems a little small. But the couplets on the archway are more fascinating. "Thousands of people live in the daytime, and thousands of lights come at night." Not only is the writing vivid, but it also vividly records the prosperity of a thousand-year-old town.

After stepping into the tall stone archway engraved with the words "Ciqikou", there is a long and narrow stone road paved with bluestone. 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 small buildings are crowded together, closely connected with each other and have their own characteristics. Small gables, wooden doors and windows, small blue tile roofs, wooden porches, antique, all show the architectural style of Chongqing School. Moss growing in the corner of the stone slab, the gap of the stone steps and the foot of the roadside building exudes a musty smell, which seems to tell the long and ancient history of the town and add a simple and heavy style to the ancient town.

On the stone road, tourists are weaving and rubbing shoulders. I saw three or two domestic dogs following their owners, wagging their heads and tails and posing vertically. What is rare is that under the eaves of a low two-story building, an old woman leans on a recliner. She has silver hair, thin face, wrinkled forehead and tight eyes. It seems that she is quietly listening to the hurried historical footsteps in the town and silently guarding the ancient civilization in the porcelain mouth.

At Ciqikou, we tried to find traces of old porcelain that once brought prosperity to this town to prove its past 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 took photos in front of Ciqikou archway, and more young people posed for selfies. It seems that thousands of people give up during the day and thousands of lights come at night. This is not only the prosperity of ancient porcelain mouth, but also the prosperity of porcelain mouth 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. Being in it seems to be in a bustling metropolis, and it seems to be in the last field before the Spring Festival. If someone stands in front of the store to ask questions or take photos, the latecomers will stop and wait.

At the Ciqikou of Shiban Road Commercial Street, there are long queues in front of several shops with "Chen Mahua" signs, and people are 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 in Bayu with its crispy and unique taste and exaggerated metaphor of "amazing ten-mile chewing". Therefore, people who come to Ciqikou, no matter how long they queue up, should bring a few boxes of "Chen Mahua" out of 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. A hundred-meter-long old street with more than a dozen teahouses is still antique. According to reports, there were more than 100 teahouses in the town. Paoze, sailors and others all 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 understand the people's feelings. The characteristic of Guzhen Teahouse is to support storytelling service. All teahouses invite storytellers to come on stage to tell stories and attract business. Some of them are also equipped with Sichuan Opera, Sichuan Opera, Sichuan Zhu Qin and other artistic performances, so they are called "Bookstore Teahouses" and "Artist Teahouses".

I looked up when I came downstairs to a teahouse. On another board upstairs, the words "drinking tea, relaxing, watching the scenery, watching, bragging and staring blankly" are scrawled, which is very corny. 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 these eight words downstairs are the idea that the store passed on to the tea drinker.

Passionate 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, made a bowl of "Xiaguan Tuocha", and slowly brushed the bowl. The tea was fragrant and tasted carefully. All over the world, all over the world, parents are short and talk about everything. The echoes of history and modern civilization blend together in the teahouse, forming a unique and elegant Bayu tea culture landscape.

Cikou has a profound historical and cultural heritage, and there are many famous people in Cikou Town. Ding Zhaozhong is a world-famous physicist and the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics. I studied at Ciqikou Jialu Primary School during the Anti-Japanese War. Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Feng Zikai, Zong Baihua and other well-known artists and aestheticians all gathered on the Phoenix Mountain in Ciqikou.

A shining bluestone road has welcomed many business trips and witnessed the rise and fall of Ciqikou for thousands of years. The magnetic buckle was manufactured in Xianping, Song Zhenzong (998- 1003). The Ming Dynasty became a commercial dock where land and water met, and it began to flourish, reaching 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.

Cikou is named Baiyachang because there are white boulders and cliffs 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 enjoyed a high reputation. Later businessman, bec

Most buildings along the street are bamboo and wood structures, bucket walls or semi-wooden walls, which have the characteristics of residential buildings in eastern Sichuan. Most sidewalks come in and out, growing in and out. It doesn't look like a big pavement, but it is deep inside. Most of the old houses deal in local specialties and famous snacks, as well as domestic tourist commodities of similar scenic spots, or fruit candy paintings and cotton candy. Occasionally, there are shops such as calligraphy, painting and clothing, which are dazzling.

On both sides of the street are closely arranged shops, 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, including clothes, shoes, hats and works of art. Especially snacks, are everywhere. Hot, cold, vegetarian, fried and roasted are all local flavors, which make people drool. Buy it back and eat it on the street, regardless of gender image.

Some stores also specially arrange the food production process to the front door. Look, this man is standing by the door, beating Ciba with a long tamping rod; The man stood in front of the door and made the batter into rice noodles; Here in the shop, the batter pot is shaken by a machine and looks like an adult pulling the pot; Others performed Sichuan Opera on the steps to attract customers.

The ancient town is famous for its snacks and delicious food. Its bloodshot hair, thousand layers of skin and salted peanuts have become "three treasures of diet". Guzhen chicken offal, handmade hot and sour powder, handmade bazan and so on are never tired of eating.

I have been talking about commercialization, which has always been a place that everyone loves.

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

The whole picture exudes a strong flavor of old Chongqing, with old people chatting idly, neighbors playing mahjong, children running and playing, old buildings and cats and dogs stretching.

Eling No.2 factory

Open a new world with the genes of old Chongqing.

Chongqing is a magical place. Different geographical environments lead to unique landscapes and buildings. In addition, Chongqing is the shooting place of major movies. "Transformers" was filmed in fairy mountain, and "Hot Pot Hero" was filmed in Chongqing 202 Factory, a hot pot restaurant of the Students' Union.

When I arrived here early in the morning, the shops were closed and there were few tourists. There is an ice cream shop in front of the door, next to the famous online celebrity shop.

At the beginning of its establishment, 1939 was known as the "printing house of the Central Bank 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.

Green stone steps, rusty railings, mossy tiles, mottled exterior walls, old wooden stairs, have the flavor of literature and art, and also have 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 punched cards, please come. Don't come if you don't have time. Many creative parks in many cities are much better than here.

Yangtze River Cableway

Airbus is in the mountain city

The Yangtze River Cableway is one step ahead of the popularity of "Chongqing, an Internet celebrity". It has been widely seen in major film and television dramas, and finally settled in the river cable car famous for its unique air experience. In the early city tour of Chongqing, it occupied an absolute C position.

With the improvement of new urban public transport facilities, traditional tools such as buses, ropeways and ferries gradually lose some functions. Due to the special terrain of Chongqing, the "three-dimensional traffic" has formed a characteristic different from other cities, and it is a strong appearance 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 movies and TV series come to Chongqing to shoot, ropeway and F.

In that era of underdeveloped traffic, the ropeway made Chongqing people realize what "flying feeling" was 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 is a unique memory of that era.

In the eyes of Chongqing people who are used to "big winds and 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 to enjoy the mountain scenery every day. For old Chongqing people, the Yangtze River cableway always has a beautiful filter, which is the most unforgettable thing in memory.
