Traveling alone | There are people everywhere. The ancient town of Ciqikou in Shapingba District is full of the flavor of the New Year. It is very lively.

This year's Spring Festival, the Ciqikou Ancient Town in Shapingba District, Chongqing was full of festive atmosphere and very lively. At a glance, red lanterns are hung everywhere in the streets and alleys, which is very festive. It would look better at night. Since I live quite far from Ciqikou, I have to come here for a stroll during the day ~ hehe. "Grilled big meat skewers, grilled big meat skewers, ten yuan a skewer, would you like one?" The snack stand was surrounded by people, with constant laughter and chatter ~ "Eat later, take a picture first." - Ciqikou Ancient Town: a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. - Geographical location: No. 1, Cinan Street, Shapingba District, Chongqing. - Transportation Tips: A.

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
