Like the unique ingredients and diverse dishes of Chongqing hot pot, the city of Chongqing, with a unique and rich temperament, standing in the southwest mountains and rivers. It is built on the mountains, known as the "mountain city", "fog", it is said that more than 100 days a year is not see the sun, more than the world-famous fog city of London fog days. Its architecture is unique, known as 3D city, magic city. Its traffic is special, three-dimensional, narrow roads, many slopes, many one-way streets, especially testing the driver's driving skills and familiarity with road conditions. Here, in addition to the map, people, is not divided into directions. This is also an inclusive city, Hong Yadong's millennium heritage and Jiefangbei's modern modern, Chuanmei literary freshness and walkway of the city's fireworks, as well as the leisurely leisurely and Chaotianmen Chaotianmen of the mouth of the magnetism, and the lively and busy, each colorful and interplay, and not at all abrupt and out of place.
LizibaLight rail through the building, magical transportation in the magical city
Light rail in the skyscrapers through, in which you may feel no different from the subway, but occasionally turn your head or the opposite window is not covered when the car suddenly lit up, you will find that the original it is in the air traveling. There's a sense of time travel when you're in it, and there's nothing more pleasurable than navigating through the city's skyscrapers, which is an experience that's distinct from riding the train, subway or bus.
The monorail at Liziba, which passes through the buildings, was described by them as a way of letting bullets fly. Some tourists have suggested that the monorail should be made to look like a bullet and be allowed to pierce Chongqing's soggy gray-blue sky. So, the Li Ziba light rail station attracts many people every day below to pick up their cell phones and look up at 45 degrees to shoot above, we have also played the wrong side of the video, such as: open wide mouth "eat" the speeding train, open the cuffs, open the backpack, the train will be loaded into it, and scrambling to put the video released. Officials set up a viewing platform for the event.
Seeing this public **** bathroom, I know, Liziba station is probably going to spoil the fans to the end ~
Out of the Liziba station, if you still want to feel the charm of the mountain city of Chongqing, you may want to go to not far away from the station Liziba air-raid shelter as well as the three-story road. Air-raid shelter as an important "witness" of Chongqing's history, in fact, many people are curious about it. At the entrance, the long passage of the air-raid shelter, filled with multi-colored lanterns, but also set up a card to take pictures of the graffiti wall, swings and so on.
There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, but there may be only one gas station in the eyes of a thousand people: a roof with no sense of design, a few gas pumps that all look the same, and a uniform layout? In fact, the beauty of the gas station, each in its own way.
The 8D city of Chongqing always surprises us, as in the case of this Guihua gas station, which was converted from a bomb shelter. Walk up the right side of the building in the photo below, or turn right out of the Li Ziba Light Rail, and you'll see this very distinctive gas station a short distance away.
Guiyuan Garden is one-way, with entrances and exits at each end of the shelter. Although the area is not large, but it has long been a net red place. The reason is nothing more than these points: air-raid shelter built in the 1970s, history enthusiasts come; people hunting psychology, the car "through the hole" is considered "very Chongqing"; cave cool, here is also a mountain city drivers summer gasoline summer ~
Chongqing version of the thousand and oneHongYaDong should be everyone came to Chongqing, one of the most favorite place to go at night, the whole HongYaDong lights, but also its most lively moment, countless tourists come to play card, eat while shooting the scene is also commonplace. As another popular photography mecca in Chongqing, I recommend you stay away from it, because the distance is just right to get a glimpse of all its beauty.
Talking about Hongyadong earliest have to trace back to the early Ming Dynasty, Dai Ding building Chongqing city, when a **** built seventeen doors, divided into nine open and eight closed, and Hongyamen is closed.
Though the door is actually more like a city building, because there was no door to get in and out, purely for the use of fortifications. The Ming Dynasty had two cannons mounted on the walls, which were said to have been used to defend against Zhang Xianzhong. At that time, there was a cliff between Linjiang Gate and Qianliao Gate, on which the city wall and Hongyi Gate were built. There was a hole under the cliff to the right below the Hongya Gate, the Hongya Cave, through which Zhang Xianzhong attacked the city of Chongqing at that time.
Eight years of war in Chongqing, the population explosion, because the Hongyadong can pick up the wind and rain, it has become a beggar's place, to the 40's on the cliffs have a path to communicate with the city outside. At that time, Hongyadong is under the pier and quite lively, Hongyadong cliffs on both sides of the cliffs began to build rows of footstools. Because of the layers, staggered, seemingly shaking, constitute the unique scenery of Chongqing City.
Hongyadong in the daytime we appreciate the Chongqing riverside hammock buildings, as well as the surrounding stone carvings, wood carvings, and even the far and near, true and false indistinguishable from the little stories, and of course, free heart witnesses to the legends and quotes of the metaphors.
Chongqing's night scene has been known as "small Hong Kong", Chongqing city three sides of the river, one side of the mountains, undulating terrain. Leaning on the mountains to build the city, the building stacked up, the road circled up, the city's unique style, thus forming a beautiful night scene. Whenever the night falls, all the lights high and low reflection, such as the starry sky, extremely magnificent ~
Some people say, Hayao Miyazaki "Thousand and Thousand Searches" in the bathhouse is to Hongyadong as a blueprint, but if the time to project, perhaps to Chongqing riverside hammock as a blueprint for the argument will be more apt. But regardless of whether Miyazaki really reference footstools, I have to admit that it does have the flavor of Miyazaki's animation, especially at night the night scene, simply a beautiful mess
Longmenhaogreen stone stairs, green brick walls, the sky green in green clothes
Longmenhao Old Street is located in the middle of Nambin Road, facing the Yangtze River, backed by the Nanshan Mountain, the Yuzhong scenic views in the panoramic view. The street is built on the mountain, with a difference of nearly 50 meters between the top and bottom, and the characteristics of the mountain town are shown here, with green bricks and tiles, green stone canals, and each building is given a different style and taste as far as the eye can see.
"Ho", natural pro-water, old street natural pro-mountain. The only way up from the bottom is to climb up the steep stone staircase panting and climbing. Of course, you can also take the elevator but will not be able to taste what is called Chongqing - that give you hard and give you a sound Chongqing, that is called the pain Chongqing. Climbed halfway up the hill, as if everything is clear, the roadside has a lot of sky-high old trees, if you look down from a high place, you will find that the whole old street are hidden under the shade of this dense green. Between these old trees planted a hundred years ago and the old trees, interspersed with a few houses, they are the former site of the Italian Embassy, the U.S. Embassy, the site of the old military embassy, the former site of the Chongqing Customs Villa? They are layered, staggered distribution in the vertical height of 40 meters above the hillside, built into a "universal architectural exposition garden.
These were once full of green vines "dying old man", in recent years Longmenhao old street in the building, back to childhood, continue to be unbiased, fair and objective narrative of their own life. We really do not underestimate these houses built with stone, brick and wood. Don't think they don't have body heat, not to mention the clever tongue, at the mercy of others. I don't know, as long as they are still standing there, is the real history is unfolding, not to be fictionalized and play.
Because of this, Longmenhao old street restoration builders carefully, the overall use of leaning against the mountains, retreating desktop architectural style, implying a respect for this side of the soil and water, cherish, tolerance, perseverance, concessions, peace and stay different, so that it is very mountainous city, Chongqing, and hired a first-class cultural relics restoration craftsmen, with the collection of 1.6 million old bricks of the old building from all over the world, 400,000 pieces of the old tiles, 30,000 tons of stones. Repairing the old as the old, "for Chongqing to create a can store the city's history, humanities, events, folklore, legends comprehensive museum-style neighborhoods," more let me glad that the craftsmen did not go to disturb the big trees here, the roots of these trees are still entangled more than a hundred years ago old time.
The carefully assembled bricks and tiles are still trying to maintain the original look of the old building, just like the roots of the yellow kudzu trees that snake along the various crevices under the walls, holding on and supporting them to keep them from disappearing into the dust and smoke of history.
Compared with most scenic spots, this place is quite quiet and uncrowded. The first thing you need to do is climb up to the "peak" of the old street. This is Chongqing's most beautiful balcony, with a view of the entire Yuzhong Peninsula as a swimming dragon, and a closer view of the Dongshuimen Bridge.
Most ancient towns have only Chinese-style buildings, but Longmenhao has quite a few Western elements, simply because it used to be a wharf that brought together many foreign embassies back in the day. The United States, Italy and Belgium have set up shop here, and have left traces of these westerners' visits.
However, the most hooked up way to get in touch with Longmenhao Old Street is to find a place to really sit down, drink and eat, Pie Ru is sitting right here~
Under the Dongshuimen Bridge, from time to time, there is a railroad train whizzing by; tradition and modernity, so intense and harmonious collision together.
Different from most of the old town street stores, this is more not to sell the kind of souvenir objects, but the food and drink. You can eat and drink, and enjoy the view from the mountains and the river, so it's not too bad.
Longmenhao has a "lucky door", in the center of the old street, the right side of the gate tower on the thick wall engraved with a large Kangxi imperial brush of the word "lucky". The first thing you need to do is to go through the door, and you'll have a good time
Search for a restaurant, sit on the terrace, and look up to see the Yangtze River Ropeway slowly gliding across the river in the distance. A ropeway and a bridge connect the two sides of the river; on one side is the bustling Yuzhong Peninsula, and on the other side is the quiet and soft old city of Nanan. There is no need to dress up, no need to deliberately operate, there is time to embellish them.
MagizikouThousands of people arch their hands in the daytime, and ten thousand bright lights at night
Magizikou is located on the bank of the Jialing River in the Shapingba District, only 3 kilometers away from the bustling main city. The transportation from the main city to the ancient town is quite convenient, perhaps because Chongqing has developed so quickly in recent years, out of the station, we did not realize that we have entered the outskirts of the city, as if still in the bustling city center. Along the magnetic child road ahead of the hundred or so meters, turn left across the crosswalk, you can see the entrance to the ancient town of the pagoda. Perhaps due to the visual impact of the wide streets and tall buildings on Magtong Road, the pagoda, which harmonizes well with the buildings of the old town, looks small. The couplet on the pagoda is even more fascinating: "Thousands of people arch their hands in the daytime, and ten thousand bright lights come at night." Not only are the words written with a dragon flying in the wind, but the image vividly records the prosperity of the ancient town for thousands of years.
After stepping into the tall stone pagoda engraved with the three big words of "Magnetic Weapon Port", there is a narrow and long stone road paved with green stone slabs. People walking on the road, you will occasionally hear the crisp "click" footsteps on the stone sound. On both sides of the stone road, a block of two- and three-story buildings crowded together, closely connected to each other, unique. Small doors, wooden doors and windows, small green tile roofs, wooden structure of the corridor eaves, ancient colors and flavors, showing the Yu school architectural style. Stone roadside, stone steps gap, building foot a corner of the growth of green moss, exudes a musty smell, as if telling the town's long and ancient history, to the ancient town added a simple and heavy style.
Walking on the stone road tourists like weaving, shoulder to shoulder. Occasionally, three or two family dogs follow behind their respective owners, wagging their tails and coming and going. Rarely seen, under the eaves of the low market house, an old woman leaning on a chaise longue, her head full of silver hair, emaciated face, forehead covered with wrinkles, eyes slightly closed, as if no one else, as if listening to the town of history in the rush of footsteps, but also as if in the silent guardian of the ancient civilization in the mouth of the Magnetic Weapon.
In the mouth of Magnetic Weapon trying to find the old porcelain traces that once brought this town prosperity, to support its former glory and splendor. However, the years left to the mouth of the porcelain is not much to see, only in a few inconspicuous stores to see the modern version of the spoon dish plate bowls and other porcelain, the old porcelain has been rare, the mouth of the mouth of the magnet has evolved into a bustling tourist commercial street.
The entrance to the old town has also been crowded and bustling. The tourists with different accents have been in front of the magnetic mouth of the pagoda photography, more young people are posing for selfies. It seems that the daytime thousands of people arching, into the night to ten thousand bright lights, has long been not only the ancient prosperity of the mouth of the magnet, but also today is the mouth of the magnet's bustling scene. Step into the old town, the streets suddenly narrow, especially crowded. On both sides of the stores, tightly embraced, pedestrians shoulder to shoulder, moving difficult. Being there, as if in a bustling and crowded metropolis, and as if the last field before the rush. If someone is standing in front of the store to ask for advice or take a picture, the later will have to stop and wait.
There are long lines of people patiently waiting to buy "Chen Mahua" at several stores with signs reading "Chen Mahua" on the stone-paved commercial street of Maguikou. It is said that this kind of sesame flower is a well-known snack in Chongqing, from the late Qing Dynasty onwards, with its crispy, crunchy unique flavor, "chewing and alarming ten miles of people" exaggerated metaphor and famous in Bayu-Chongqing. So no matter how long the line or wait, people who come to the mouth of Magnetic Weapons have to take a few boxes of "Chen Mahua" with them to leave the mouth of Magnetic Weapons.
I was attracted to a teahouse, but I wasn't interested in the twist. The most distinctive feature of the old town is the teahouse. Hundreds of meters long old street, there are more than a dozen teahouses, the ancient style still exists. According to reports, when the town teahouse up to more than a hundred, robes, sailors and other people love into the teahouse tea, Dragon Gate, and even dignitaries, celebrities and scholars also like to come to this understanding of public sentiment. Ancient town teahouse is characterized by supporting storytelling services, each teahouse have invited storytellers on stage to hang book, soliciting business. Some also supporting the Sichuan opera sitting singing, Sichuan Qingyin, Sichuan bamboo piano and other artistic performances, so called "book field teahouse", also known as "artists teahouse".
When I came to a teahouse downstairs, look up, upstairs, another piece of wood on the board written in such a crooked eight words: "tea, leisure, landscape, looking, bragging, daze", very close to the ground. Teahouse in Chongqing, in the porcelain mouth everywhere, is a local flash card, the formation of a unique regional characteristics of the tea culture. Tea culture in different teahouses have different interpretations, I think that the eight words downstairs is the shopkeeper to pass on to the concept of tea customers.
Bold and enthusiastic, humor and fun Chongqing people love tea." Tea to meet friends", "tea to gather friends", decent and convenient. We gathered in the teahouse, brewed a bowl of "Xiaguan Tuocha", slow whisking cover bowl, tea, tea fragrance, sip tea. South of the world, the sea and the sky ancient and modern China and abroad, parents, nothing to talk about. The echoes of history and modern civilization meet and mingle in the teahouse, constituting a unique tea culture landscape of Bayu with a unique flavor and elegance.
The history and culture of Magekou is rich, "a stone road, a thousand years of porcelain mouth". Many famous people have come out of the small town of Magakou. During the war period had studied in the mouth of magnetism Jia Lu elementary school Ding Zhaozhong is a world-famous physicist, Nobel Prize in Physics winner. Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Feng Zikai, Zong Baihua and other nationally renowned art masters and aesthetes have gathered on Phoenix Hill in Magweikou.
A shiny green stone road, ushered in how many business travelers, witnessed the rise and fall of a thousand years of the mouth of the magnetic weapons. The mouth was built in the Song Zhenzong Xianping years (998 to 1003 AD), the Ming Dynasty when the formation of commercial wharf, land and water, began to prosper, the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China for the heyday. It was not until the 1960s, with the relocation of the wharves and the development of the road transportation industry, that the lively Magnetic Weapon Port, which had been bustling for more than a thousand years, finally quieted down and gradually began to decline.
Magnetite Kou was first named Baiyafang because of the white boulder cliffs on the hill. Later, because Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty hid in the Bao Lun Temple on the field for four or five years, the world renamed the Bao Lun Temple as Longyin Temple, and Baiyafang was renamed Longyin Town. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Longyin Town was famous for producing porcelain, which was sold far beyond Shu. After the merchants because of the convenience of the mouth, slowly called Longyin Town into the mouth of the porcelain. Because of the "porcelain" and "magnetism", and then called into the mouth of the magnet, has been used to this day.
The buildings along the street are mostly bamboo and wood structure, through the bucket sandwich wall or through the half-wooden board wall, very characteristic of the eastern Sichuan residence. Most of the stores are one into three, long into the depth of the household type. It looks like the store is not big, but it is very deep inside. Most of the old houses are full of local specialties and snacks, as well as tourist commodities that are similar to those of various attractions across the country, or fruit candy paintings, cotton candy, etc. Occasionally, there are also stores for calligraphy, painting and clothing, all of which are dazzling to the eye.
The two sides of the street are densely packed with stores, most of which are bungalows or two-story buildings with green bricks and gray tiles, red pillars and white walls, typical of the Bayu architectural style. Stores sell everything, clothing, shoes, hats, art, everything. Especially snacks, everywhere, hot and cold, meat and vegetarian, fried and roasted, all with local flavor, greedy people drooling, hurry to buy, when the street to eat, do not care about the image of reserved men and women.
Some stores also deliberately food production process arranged to the door, you see, the man standing next to the door, holding a long pounding stick to play mochi; the man stood in front of the door to the batter made of rice noodles; this side of the store with a machine shaking the batter pot, but also made people pulling the pot to move the way; over there on the steps of the performance of the Szechuan Opera face wooing customers.
The ancient town of snacks food is quite famous, Mao Blood Want, thousand sheets of skin, pepper peanuts, has become famous in all directions of the "diet of the three treasures". Ancient town chicken, handmade hot and sour noodles, handmade patties, etc. never get tired of eating.
Chongqing is always said to be commercialized, but it has always been a place where people love to go.
Chongqing people love to play mahjong, from the oldest to the youngest, they are skillful and play mahjong all night long, indulging in the immense joy of playing mahjong.
The old people chatting idly, the neighbors playing mahjong, the children running and playing, the old buildings, the cats and dogs stretching their backs? The whole picture exudes a strong flavor of old Chongqing.
Goose Ridge IIOpening a new world with the genes of old Chongqing
Chongqing is a magical place where the differences in geography lead to unique landscapes and architecture. In addition, Chongqing is a major movie shooting location. Transformers" set Fairy Mountain, "Hot Pot Heroes" classmates League hot pot restaurant? And "from my world passes by" the movie in the place where the scene, in Chongqing's goose ridge two factory.
When I arrived here early in the morning, the stores were not open and there were few tourists, with a small store selling ice cream at the entrance, next to the well-known Netflix store.
When it was first established in 1939, it was known as the "Central Bank of the Republic of China's Banknote Printing Factory," specializing in printing securities such as banknotes, tax stamps, postage stamps and government documents.
This was once the color printing center of Chongqing and the color printing giant of the Southwest printing industry, and it is said that from the 1950s to the 1970s in Chongqing, almost every piece of paper with color was printed from here.
Green stone steps, rusty railings, moss-covered tiles, mottled and peeling facades, old wooden stairs? There's a literary flavor and an air of Netflix.
To be honest, this place is very small, really small, early in the morning to come over, it is really difficult to imagine the crowd here, in a few "attractions" queuing up to take pictures of the embarrassing scene. Here and a lot of creative parks across the country, hard to pose some elements of the photo. If you have to stamp cards, then come on, no time don't come, a lot of cities many creative parks than here a lot of good
Yangtze River CablewayMountain City in the air in the public **** car
The Yangtze River Cableway than the "Netflix Chongqing" popularity of the first step, it is through the major film and television productions widely exposed, and finally landed in the river cable car, a unique, but not the only thing that can be done. The river cable car is famous for its unique aerial experience, and occupied the absolute C position in the early Chongqing city tour.
With the improvement of the city's new public **** transportation facilities, buses, cable cars, ferries and these tools of the traditional era gradually lost some of their functions. Due to the special topography of Chongqing, "three-dimensional transportation" has formed a distinctive feature that is different from that of other cities, and is a strong symbol of the city's appearance. In the era of the two rivers ropeways (Jialing River Ropeway and Yangtze River Ropeway), these two aerial scenic routes became Chongqing's earliest business cards. Whenever a movie or TV show was filmed in Chongqing, the ropeways shuttling back and forth across the two rivers would inevitably enter the directors' lenses. Backpackers and photography enthusiasts from outside Chongqing would take the time to come and press the shutter.
In an era when transportation was still underdeveloped, the ropeways allowed the people of Chongqing to experience for the first time what it meant to fly. Although the Yangtze River ropeway was not as developed as it is today, both in terms of appearance and equipment, it is a unique memory of that era.
In the eyes of Chongqing people, who are used to seeing "big storms", the Yangtze River ropeway is nothing more than a means of transportation, and its function is no different from that of a public **** car or rail transit. But for many foreign tourists, the ropeway is a way to understand the local culture and customs of Chongqing. After all, a low head overlooking the bustling Chongqing city center, to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the two rivers converge, is also a unique and wonderful experience.
Once upon a time, the Yangtze River Ropeway faded into obscurity because of high operating costs, low transportation efficiency and other limitations. But now it has become a symbol of Chongqing's development, carrying countless people across the Yangtze River every day to enjoy the scenery of the mountain city. For the old Chongqing people, the Yangtze River cableway will always have a layer of beautiful filter, is the memory of the most unforgettable past.
