Impressive Ancient town of Ci Qi Kou

#chinatrip An Impressive Ancient town of Ci Qi Kou. It was huge place, many stairs inside. They are tonnes of food and souvenir stalls inside. Cool ancient town (though clearly rebuilt in more recent times) with many shops mostly chongqing street food. Must try their specialities : Peanuts with Mala chilli. It was so good. It could be a good friend while you were watching the good sunset in the beautiful Yangtse riverside.

Ciqikou

Chongqing’s Timeless Old Town + Surprise Hilltop Serenity 🏮🌳 Stroll into the storybook lanes of Ciqikou, where centuries-old teahouses, vibrant lanterns, and bustling snack stalls dish out authentic flavors and nostalgia! Getting swept away in the crowds just means you’re in the heart of it all—but shhh, there’s a hidden tranquil spot waiting at the top. Must-dos: Start at the entrance and zigzag through the lively Cinan Street—sample spicy maocai, sugar twists, and Chongqing’s famed baked treats. Pause in front of folk art shops for lively photo ops (tip: lanterns and old doorways are super insta-worthy!). Climb towards the park at the summit: nearly silent compared to the main drag, it’s ideal for cooling off and catching your breath. Photo spots: Snap tasty street snacks with the backdrop of Ciqikou’s preserved architecture. Aim for the classic upward view from the alley steps, or shoot from the hilltop park overlooking the vintage rooftops—this spot is usually blissfully empty! Tips: Arrive before 10am if you want that relaxed, “old China” morning vibe. For the least crowds, head straight to the top park before browsing the shops. Wear comfy shoes (those stone alleyways get slippery!), and bring water—there’s surprisingly few spots to buy drinks up in the park. Precautions: The main shopping areas get packed, especially weekends. Guard your wallet and phone; pickpockets love busy lanes. Watch your step on rain-slick paths. #Chongqing #Ciqikou #StreetFood #TravelTips #HiddenGems
