Chongqing|Ancient streets in the mountains-Shancheng Lane⛰️

Chongqing is a city with buildings built in the shape of mountains, and Shancheng Lane simply expresses its terrain with its name⛰️ Shancheng Lane is connected to Shancheng Trail ~ so what you can think of is... you want to visit Shancheng Lane! Must climb the mountain first! ! Fortunately, there are many guides to Shancheng Lane now. It is recommended to check and go in the opposite direction! It means you can visit the whole area downhill without climbing many mountain roads and stairs (I won’t go into details in this article) After replanning and renovation, Shancheng Lane has retained some of its original architectural style and also added many novel modern elements! Make it a very distinctive tourist alley! There are cafes that are very chill for Chongqing people, restaurants selling special snacks, a wide range of souvenir shops, and a story house that introduces the history of Shancheng Lane from planning to reconstruction. This is highly recommended! It’s free, you must go and explore 🎉 What impressed me most was the many small shops that were decorated in an old-fashioned and childhood-themed style! There is a cafe converted from a primary school (?), and there are also souvenirs using the primary school’s signboards. They are all so cute and childlike! The price is not expensive~it is worth going shopping! And after climbing the mountain, you can also see the river on the opposite side. Although I forgot what it is called, the scenery is really beautiful! ! The entire Shancheng Lane is very suitable for taking photos. It would be a pity if there are too many people on holidays. It is recommended to visit on weekdays! 🔗Shancheng Lane Address: Mountain City Trail, Yuzhong District, Chongqing Business hours: Trails open all day / Street shops open from 9:30 to 21:30 Recommended stay time: 1-2 hours
