Chongqing Legend Alley, like climbing a mountain step by step, is very tired to walk, but tourists are like clouds every day.

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

Because its mother city, Yuzhong District, is built on a mountain, no matter where you go, you feel that you are climbing a mountain, either climbing up or walking down. It is precisely because of this magical terrain that Chongqing has quickly become a "shoulder pole" in the tourism industry, attracting a large number of tourists every year.

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

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

Chongqing people prefer to call the mountain trail "mountain alley", which is more interesting in Chongqing dialect. While visiting the trail, they also see many signs of "Le is a foggy city", which is very grounded.

In fact, there are many similar trails in Chongqing, except that the mountain alley is built along the Yangtze River, and the landscape is quite special. Another reason is that it has been completely upgraded and looks more cultural than other trails.

According to local friends, the former mountain alley looked shabby and lacked decent business, but it was very grounded. At one time, she often came to collect wind. This ascending alley condensed the street style of old Chongqing and was one of the main facades of mountain city culture.

Today's mountain alley is a paradise for Wen Qing. There are not only various tonal coffee shops, boutique shops, creative spaces and museums along the way, but also many former residences of celebrities, as well as colorful paintings and graffiti full of life.

You can find many snacks in Shancheng Alley that can't be found in downtown. Sitting around a small table in a street stall, you can enjoy delicious food while enjoying the people coming and going on the trail and the city scenery on the south bank of the Yangtze River. This is a very special feeling.

The small shops in Shancheng Alley are mainly located in the area 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, foreign consulates and so on.

Shancheng Alley is a gathering place of early residential buildings in Chongqing, where many low-rise river-view houses appear.

If you can't stay in Chongqing for a long time, taking a walk in the alleys of the mountain city can be regarded as a one-sided quick tour of the city.

The history of Shancheng Alley can be traced back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Before 1972, it was called Tiandeng Alley and Tiandeng Street. The reason was that in 19, missionaries from France erected poles and lit lamps on the slope of the alley to illuminate pedestrians. From a distance, it looked like a Tianjie, which was very spectacular.
