Chongqing Tourism | The Little Wartime Capital - Jiangjin Baisha Ancient Town

A small town where major factories and people from the arts gathered during the war. Here you can find the highest wooden stilt house group, old streets, war relics, and temples. After renovation, the previously messy scene has been completely changed, further highlighting the tranquility and depth of the ancient town. Zhangye Temple, built in the Ming Dynasty, is one of the better-preserved ancient buildings in Baisha Ancient Town. The main hall once enshrined Zhang Fei. During the war, it received many displaced teachers and students and accommodated wounded National Army soldiers. In terms of architecture, in 1934, a big fire broke out in Baisha Town, which lasted for nearly two days. Most of the houses in the town were burned down, but Zhangye Temple in the center of the street escaped. The reason for this is all thanks to its spectacular double firewalls - a total of seven levels of cat arches (cat bows), which are rare in their place of origin - the two lakes area. 🚄Transportation tips: You can take the rail transit from Chongqing city to Jiangjin city area, and then change to a bus.
