Chongqing Ancient Town Ciqikou

#VisitChongqing Ciqikou 磁器口古镇 is a famous tourist attraction in Chongqing and is a 4A-level tourist attraction in China. It has a long history and is located on a high hill near the Jialing River. This is a cultural conservation village. The buildings are designed in ancient Chinese architecture. In the ancient city, there are snacks, restaurants, souvenir shops, milk tea shops, and traditional Chongqing pastries. It is suitable for those who are looking for local souvenirs to choose from. The streets in the ancient city are paved with stones and have many alleys, similar to a maze. Walk up the hill. The atmosphere around is lively with people who come to visit. We feel that there are quite a lot of people here. It may be a bit crowded if you want to take a selfie with the place. It is a bit difficult. Most people focus on shopping and finding food. Walking around Ciqikou is like being transported into an ancient Chinese series. There are old and original architectural buildings for us to walk around and see along the way. Some shops will demonstrate how to make ancient pastries and noodles to attract customers and attract attention, such as Tubtab pastries, peanut brittle, and peanut snacks. There are also food for us to try. Lots of shopping to go back It takes about 2-3 hours It is recommended to come in the morning, around 10-11 am 🕰️bOpening hours: 10:00-22:00, but the ancient city is open 24 hours 🚇: Take Line 1 and get off at Ciqikou Station 磁器口 Exit 1 #China #ciqikou #Visit the ancient city

Ciqikou Old Town

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

#磁器口 #ciqikou This is a night view of Ciqikou. The shops usually start to close at around 8.30 pm onwards, hence no more crowds at this time. This is the best time for night scenery photos because the lighthings are still on. If you go after 9pm, most shops are already closed and the lights are off. How you can get there is by MRT Red line to reach here. The station is exactly on the same place, walking distance is around 5 mins to this place entrance. No entrance ticket is required. Full of hotpot restaurants and recommend to have it here. This is a must visit place. The crazy crowds will usually start from 10 am-ish, so if you want a better photo, suggest reach there before 9.15 am, but some shops may not open yet. We stayed at Lianci Hotel abd the stay is pleasant. Highly recommended to stay for 1 day. 1 day stay is enough and the hotel rate is not expensive. #chongqing #重庆 #重庆火锅 #火锅 #hotpot #100waysoftravel #awesomepic for #nightview
