Ciqikou Ancient Town

#September Good Places 2025 Do you think magnet mouth is very commercial, nothing fun? 🙄 Who said so! As long as you know how to walk the right route, you can definitely play to new heights ~ 🔥 In fact, the magnetic mouth divides the day and night two worlds, each has its own merits, different times come really different feeling! It is recommended to enter from the southwest corner of Ciqikou (i.e. the back street of Ciqikou), first stroll through the stilted buildings and feel the unique hot temperature of Chongqing. After coming down from the elevator, walk along the outside road, the road is relatively narrow, the whole journey is almost sunless, super comfortable! 🚶♀️ There are also many small stairs along the way to go down to explore, both sides are chill bursting small teahouses, sit down and sip a cup of tea super relaxing. Walk straight and you will reach Baolun Temple, then go to the pier to take pictures, and finally return to the main street of Ciqikou. The whole route is really good to stroll, very local feeling ~ 🥰 As for eating, it is not recommended to eat in the ancient town, if you want to live more comfortably, you can consider the Rongshe Hotel on the south side of the ancient town. 🌳 📍【Ciqikou Ancient Town】 Address: Ciqikou, Shapingba District, Chongqing Opening hours: Open year-round, it is recommended to go in the morning or evening hours to avoid the crowds 📍【Rongshe Hotel (Ciqikou Branch)】 Address: South side of Ciqikou Ancient Town, Shapingba District, Chongqing Features: Small yard quiet environment, rest chill burst, worth recommending

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
