Why is Chongqing also called the city?

Chongqing is also known as the mountain city and the foggy city.

Interesting places in Chongqing:

1, sichuan fine arts institute (Huangjueping Campus)

Chuanmei, a small and fresh literary place that can't be missed. At least you should have heard of the tank depot, the miniature version of 798, which can surprise you everywhere. In June of the graduation season, you can also see an exhibition of graduates' design works. People with campus complex will definitely like it when they come. There are three places to see in the Academy of Fine Arts: Art Museum, Tank Depot and Graffiti Street outside the school. The most famous is the graffiti street outside the school gate. The buildings in the whole street are covered with all kinds of graffiti, which are a little old but quite spectacular. There are many snacks around, such as Tikan Tofu Flower and Ji Hu Tofu Flower Soup, which are worth a try. In addition, during the graduation season, there is a graduation exhibition of Chuanmei art students at the end of May and the beginning of June every year. If you like, you can pay attention to the relevant information and have a look.

2. Fangfang bookstore

Fangfang is not only a bookstore, but also a complex cultural space integrating books, clothing, coffee, aesthetic life and other formats. The storefront is about 2,400 ㎡, and the book area accounts for 1.500㎡, covering 1.4 million books and more than 40,000 varieties. All kinds of high-quality books on humanities, literature, art and life at home and abroad can be found here in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Not only the old books and flowers collected are stacked at the entrance to create a steep and tree-lined mountain city feeling, but the overall design is also very mountain city flavor.

Arrival mode: Light Rail Line 3 to Guanyinqiao Station; Or take a bus to Jianxin North Road Station.

3. Eighteen ladders

Eighteen Ladders is a typical Chongqing-style old street, bearing memories of many years in the chaos. I admire Chongqing's courage and willingness to keep the Eighteen Ladders as they are and not to cater to the development of the city. No matter how the new city develops, the Eighteen Ladders still go their own way. Mottled barber shops, lively teahouses, lonely businessmen. Demolition sites are everywhere, telling us that this is a farewell performance yesterday, and we can't see the joy and sadness in the eyes of people around us. We feel that life is still going on, and more is the indifference of Chongqing people.

How to get there: Take Metro Line 2 and get off at Jiaochangkou Station, then walk there. On the right side of Zhongxing Road on the uphill from Shibanpo to Jiaochangkou.
