Why do you have to go to Ma 'anshan on the south bank to travel to Chongqing?

When you mention the South Bank, the first concrete image in your mind is Nanshan, then Industry and Trade, and then Sheraton Nanbin Road Gemini?

If you search with the eyes of pure tourism, there is a high probability that it will be a tree, an old marble street, an old Longmen street, and maybe you can miss the foreigner street.

Every time I think of the images of the old streets with blue bricks and green tiles, a kind of gentleness of the years will always fill my heart. With the passage of time, I ignored the time gap, blurred the difference between the past and today, conquered our judgment with a sense of chaos, and some tender feelings in my heart will be summoned and turned into a butterfly, lingering in the vicissitudes of life. What hasn't changed, I changed my mood and pulled it into a smooth arc. For example, on the slide of childhood happiness, in addition to the happiness brought by speed, we can break through the gap and return to childhood.

The south bank has such a magical effect in my heart. It helps people cross. Even if the crane holds its head high, some common circumstances can push people to the distant past in an instant?

Second, Ma On Shan

Maanshan area is located in Shangxinjie Community of Longmenhao Street, facing Yuzhong Peninsula across the river.

It is a part of Longmenhao Old Street and is relatively independent. Even if you have been to Longmen Hao, you will probably pass by. Because basically you have never heard of Ma 'anshan.

Point to Maanshan

Ma 'anshan is very secretive. Walking in the street of Longmenhao, I found the sign above, indicating that I found the right place.

Walking up the stone steps, various elements are arranged on the walls on both sides: either a colorful picture of coming home from school or a harmonious combination of several unrelated old objects, such as guitar, hat and white net shoes?

In the 1980s, some buildings were obsolete, and the miscellaneous dead branches were separated from the low smell of firewood, artistically guarding the entrance of buildings where people still lived.

The mottled and dim walls are in sharp contrast to the bright paintings with heavy makeup. Just like a dance music with a strong sense of rhythm, the goddess of time swings with the music, and perhaps your thoughts are wandering.

Sui, Wu and Yue languages

Along the way, I saw many old houses. Most of the old buildings hidden among the branches of Li Guo are public buildings built by British and French businessmen and churches after the opening of Chongqing, garden-style houses and senior staff houses built by companies that moved in during the Anti-Japanese War.

1920, Dr. Ma Jiali, a famous missionary and philanthropist, bought land and built a house in Ma 'anshan, Nan 'an. 192 1 year, World Hospital opened. It is the earliest western hospital in Nan 'an District and one of the earliest western medicine hospitals in Chongqing, which helped a large number of refugees during the Anti-Japanese War. Its former site is located at No.234 Ma 'anshan, with the first four floors and the second floor, white columns and blue bricks, wooden steps, and the tall blue brick arch in the middle of the building is a very prominent feature of the former site of the international hospital.

At the end of 1937, the battery industry developed rapidly, and Shanghai Heshi was able to establish a joint venture with others to open Shanghai Yifeng battery factory in Chongqing Chengsi archway. At the same time, the battery factory owner also built his own villa on the south bank in the 1930s. Now it is located at No.270 Maanshan, with a building width of 8m, a depth of10m and an area of160m2, which is the former site of Heshineng Villa.

Go on, and you can see No.265 Maanshan Road. It is the former dormitory of Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company and Huafu Cigarette Factory. Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company was founded by the Jane brothers living in Nanyang. 1938+00 moved from Hankou to Chongqing in June. What was the main reason at that time? Kao? 、? Golden axe? 、? Double happiness? The same brand of cigarettes, 300 boxes a day. Hua Fu Cigarette Factory Co., Ltd. was established on June, 2006 1942 by Kong Xiangxi agent, and its headquarters is in Chongqing. Washington? 、? Three or six? 、? Torch? The daily output of cigarettes of the same brand is 300-400 boxes. 1952 In May, seven tobacco factories including Nanming, Guo Xin, Dahan, Dacheng, Five Blessingg, Nanyang and Huafu merged to form Chongqing Tobacco Company, and three factories including Nanyang Tobacco were established.

No.54, Yandian Bay, Maanshan, is the former site of British Salt Administration. This western-style building, built at the end of 19, was once the office of the British government to deal with the salt trade in Yingchuan. Nowadays, this old building that has gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes has long been unused, and the brand-new cultural relics protection unit in front of us hints at the past.

If you look around carefully enough, you can also find several old buildings of British Association Hospital.

Wandering in this place with a long history, the skyscrapers in the center of Chongqing, separated by a river, appear and disappear from time to time, colliding with the temperament of modern fashion, and it feels very wonderful.

There is no need to remember anything at all! With the deepening of the narrow roadway in Maanshan, the traces of the old moss road are becoming shallower and shallower, and the old ideas are becoming more and more indifferent. The most concerned thing is street graffiti that keeps pace with the times.

The application of modern art in historical blocks is well played by Chongqing people.

Pressurized water

The novel graffiti on the wall of the combination of reality and reality makes people sincerely admire. The tips of creative signs make people feel that they are stepping into the future.

This seemingly forgotten land is a quiet temple in the downtown area, and the explosive power and vitality contained in silence can not be underestimated.

Walking, you will change your consciousness from looking for the past to visiting the present. Look at the past with a fashionable eye.

Youth never leaves.

You will see young people in ancient times. You and the older generation, as well as the next generation, have the most splendid years. You can cook delicious mutton soup without swallowing it. Just the rich fragrance is enough to make people intoxicated.

You will meet many cultural and creative shops along the way, like? I tease the flowers, you tease me, and the beautiful story is staged in the old street as scheduled? A beautiful flower party, an interesting tea party surrounded by wooden fences, and a secret garden as before.

My childhood memories are hidden in the secret garden. I like all kinds of secondhand goods here: old-fashioned game machines, black and white TV sets, cassette recorders and sewing machines? Everything represents a period of time.

Do you remember?

This old street is moving! My only regret is that I didn't know it existed before; My greatest happiness is that I finally walked in.

Third, growth.

Beauty is under life, and we are in the corner of the city, giving everything back to the original.

How many corners are there worth exploring in Chongqing? How much is there to look forward to in life? How much has been forgotten?

Walking through Maanshan, I saw at least some traces; I am happy, too. Although the old buildings with a long history and unique features in Chongqing have slowly fallen into a deep sleep, the new streets are revived with deep affection for the world.

The changes of the times have given it new vitality. At the crossroads of the past and the future, it smartly drew a circle in people's minds.

Therefore, the original us and the future us will eventually meet. After stumbling, both the city and life will end in perfection.

Traveling to Chongqing, Ma 'anshan on the south bank is really a must!
