Where time slows down in Chongqing: Explore Longmenhao Old Street

🏮 Longmenhao Old Street — A Stroll Through Chongqing's Past Tucked along the banks of the Yangtze River, Longmenhao Old Street offers a quieter, more nostalgic escape from Chongqing’s high-rise skyline. With its preserved traditional architecture, red lanterns, and winding stone paths, it’s a peaceful place to soak in the city’s history — once a vital trading post and part of the foreign concessions area during the early 20th century. You'll find teahouses, craft shops, and street snacks, all set against river views and shady trees. It’s especially atmospheric in the late afternoon, with golden light hitting the old façades. A few steps away, you can spot murals, old houses, and glimpses of Chongqing’s layered geography. 📝 Bonus Tips: ● Photo Spot: Find the river-view terrace near the end of the street for a perfect shot. ● Food Tip: Try a bowl of Chongqing xiaomian or grab a local sweet rice cake from a vendor. ● Nearby: Easily walkable to the Yangtze Cableway station or Liziba Station for a monorail ride through buildings.
