I've been using the Telecom Mountain City card, with 100G of data every month, always ready to share the scenery with family and friends.

Chongqing | A great retreat hidden in the city has descended from the mountain!
| A great retreat hidden in the city has descended from the mountain!. Chongqing Hotel | Once descended from the mountain·Chongqing
This time in Chongqing, I stayed at the hotel that has descended from the mountain, which is located in Longmenhao Old Street along the Yangtze River, consisting of three cultural preservation buildings from the Republic of China era, offering a unique experience of seclusion amidst the bustling old street. The river-view room I stayed in allowed me to directly admire the Yangtze River and Dongshuimen Bridge from within the room, with the night view being even more beautiful.
The hotel's entrance has become a popular spot for tourists to check in, with a steady stream of visitors. The stone gate serves as a natural picture frame, capturing the modern Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge. The hotel now collaborates with Majira, spraying a different scent of perfume every day.

🎏Second Stop: Halo Shopping Park
Since it's not far from Happy Valley, we stopped by. It is the first 'urban natural community' commercial in China, 🍭with an egg-shaped art building called 'Nautilus' on the exterior, which is very distinctive. The indoor tropical rainforest-themed shopping center is too cool. 🍭Integrating a huge botanical garden into the commercial space, its most eye-catching feature is the Sunlight Forest that spans seven floors, with whimsical floating trees, cascading waterfalls, and lush plants surrounding a vertical space that runs through the entire mall. 🍭A 20-meter-high indoor waterfall, under the reflection of colored spotlights, is very spectacular. Standing by the railing, whether looking up or down, the sense of technology is full, as if entering the future world.
WanderlustEuphoria
Checked in at the old streets of Chongqing, every nook and cranny!
It's the last day, and there's no time to visit many attractions, so I went to a few of the most recommended old streets to wander around.
Then I went to the river beach to take night photos.
I squatted all night for a few pictures.
The noodles for breakfast were delicious, the mixed bean noodles were amazing, and the dinner skewers were only a little over ninety yuan for two people, which is really cost-effective.
However, some things tasted a bit strong.
For example, the taste of pork intestines and the fishy smell of shrimp, but the rest was fine, and the drinks were very tasty.
I have to retreat tomorrow.
I'll come back to the remaining places if I get the chance.

Longmen Hao Old Street (also known as Shanghao Li) and Haoli Old Street (also called Xiaohao Li) are connected and can be arranged to visit in one day. Similar to the mountain city alleys, both are located by the river. The scenic area is not large, but involves going up and down stairs. Longmen Hao scenic area has an elevator, which saves some energy. You can reach it by taking Subway Line 6. If you exit from Shangxin Street Exit 2, you will first tour Longmen Hao Old Street, and then after exiting Haoli Old Street, the subway exit is Shangxin Street Exit 1, so you don't have to backtrack. Exiting from Shangxin Street Exit 1 means you will first visit Haoli Old Street. The lights here are not as bright as in Hongya Cave at night, which is why it is more peaceful. There are many tea shops in the scenic area, as well as bookstores and coffee shops, making it very suitable for slow-paced tourism. You can quietly spend a whole day here. There is also a snack street in the scenic area, which is not expensive. Longmen Hao Starlight Viewing Platform requires shoe covers (free of charge).

Chongqing | Listen to my advice, Longmenhao Old Street is really a thousand times better to stroll around than Hongya Cave!
Take the cable car, from Jiangbei to Jiangnan, and you come down right at Longmenhao Old Street.
The characteristic of a mountain city, you think it's only a few meters away, but it takes ten minutes to walk, haha!
Up and down, every corner is a scenery.
Countless restaurants, cafes, bookstores, and teahouses are built along the mountain, facing the Yangtze River, with spring in full bloom!
Artistic and fresh, the key is that there are not many people, it is very suitable for a few people to stroll and eat, just find a small house with a good view, and leisurely have an afternoon tea.
🌟Highlights:
Artistic and fresh, excellent scenery and culture, and few people
🗓Itinerary:
You can arrange a day, at least half a day, it's worth it!
📝Tips:
Comfortable shoes!

I've been to Chongqing many times, and almost every time I come, I have hot pot with friends. My local Chongqing friend recommended the Kuaihe Old Hot Pot near Guanyin Bridge. Despite its unassuming appearance, the taste is really good. Hidden under a residential building, you wouldn't find it without a friend's guidance!
📍Kuaihe Old Hot Pot
-
If you want to eat beef, go to the nearby Wangsihai Zazha Beef, which is really good with rice. The beef is numbingly spicy and super satisfying, and the freshly sliced beef is really tender and fresh!
📍Wangsihai Zazha Beef

The Mao Roasted Duck near Jiefangbei is also very nice, super appetizing. The duck is really fragrant, with a crispy skin that has soaked up the broth in the red pot, making it spicy, numbing, and aromatic with every bite.

such as Hongyadong, Chaotianmen, Jiefangbei, Ciqikou, etc.
still welcome batches of tourists
Then there are the newly popular internet-famous spots
like Liziba Light Rail Station, Raffles City, Bai Xiang Ju, etc.
which have also become places that young people are eager to check in
It seems that every year, different places are developed, discovered, and showcased
And Longmenhao Old Street has also become a new internet-famous spot in recent years
After the renovation of Longmenhao Old Street
the houses are built against the mountain, scattered and stacked
Across the river is the Yuzhong Peninsula
Next to it is the Dongshuimen Bridge🌉
Not only can you see the Yangtze River Cableway moving slowly
but also the subway whizzing by
Here, the old and new buildings complement each other
There are very many photo spots
📷Photo spots:
✅The same style as Dongshuimen Bridge
✅Sheraton Twin Towers
✅Yuzhong Peninsula Frame
✅Chuandong Trail
✅Lanyue Platform Viewing Deck
Tips:
✅Free, beautiful architecture, mostly commercial inside
✅Transportation: 🚇Subway Line 6/Circular Line, Xinshang Station Exit 2
✅Mostly stairs, not many elevators, wear comfortable shoes
✅If coming from Nanbin Road to Longmenhao, the uphill walk can be tiring
✅About 10 minutes away, there is also the Chongqing Kaibu Ruins Park nearby for photography
✅The cableway is quite far, it is recommended to bring a telephoto lens

I really love the 'most filmic' Longmenhao Old Street in Chongqing!!
📍Address: Longmenhao Old Street and Xiahaoli Old Street (they are connected)
🚗Transportation: Take the light rail Line 6/Circular Line to Shangxin Street Station, Exit 2, and walk for 2 minutes to reach the entrance (you can start from Longmenhao Old Street and go downhill, then turn right to Xiahaoli and go uphill, which will also lead you back to Shangxin Street subway station entrance, so you can finish visiting both old streets)
🎫Ticket: Free
Longmenhao Old Street is backed by Nanshan Mountain and faces the Yangtze River, featuring a complex terrain with ups and downs, twists and turns, which creates Chongqing's unique mountain city characteristic. Standing on the viewing platform of the old street, you can take in the view of Yuzhong district at a glance. Following the bluestone paths and winding through different alleys, you can enter the old street and experience the unique charm of old Chongqing. At the same time, you will also appreciate Chongqing's intriguing street aesthetics. If you come to Chongqing and like taking photos, this place is worth a visit!
My friend and I went down from Longmenhao Old Street and then walked up from Xiahaoli Street, but the reverse is also possible. Starting from the scattered steps is where Xiahaoli Street begins, and all the scenic spots are easy to find along the way, and the unique terrain advantage makes every casual snapshot a beautifully scattered scene, and you are sure to discover even more stunning composition angles.
✅Nearby Check-in
If you have plenty of time, you can also visit nearby places: Kaibu Ruins Park, Yangtze River Cableway, 'City of Love' (suitable for evening visits), Ma'anshan Park, Huangge Ancient Trail, Laojun Cave.

On a clear day, Chongqing seems like a "coastal city"!
The southern people's obsession with the sea is evident, after desaturating the first photo, it looks too much like a coastal city! Nanbin Road has always been a very atmospheric street.
The second photo is unedited! Even without color correction, it's still beautiful!
The photo spot is in the middle of Longmenhao Old Street, where there's an elevator!!
The river water is not muddy, and there are seagulls flying over the river.
Not many, but it's lucky to be able to capture them!! The river surface is even more atmospheric with the setting sun.

During the Spring Festival, there is a large flow of people in Chongqing. Everyone should plan ahead and book hotels in advance. The whole journey is very convenient by subway. If you really can't find the way, you can take the "Yellow Ferrari"

The fun of Chongqing's old streets is fully demonstrated in the winding alleys of the mountain city
Longlong's New Year, happy and healthy every day. Chongqing really went to great lengths to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. No more talking, the strong New Year's flavor of the old streets of the mountain city is still my big Chongqing.
🏠Longmen Hao Old Street
🚄Transportation: Line 6 Shangxin Street Station, exit 2 and walk to it
✨About the old street
1⃣️Every household has spring couplets on the front door, red lanterns light up the mountain city, and children are holding sugar knives with smiles on their faces.
2⃣️Compared to the bustling noise of Shancheng Lane and Eighteen Stairs, I prefer this old street. Because there is no hustle and bustle of tourists, but there is no lack of fun in Chongqing's old streets.
3⃣️Here, whether you are climbing up the stairs or going down the slope, the layered architecture built along the mountain is always eye-catching.
4⃣️The winding alleys, every corner can surprise you, giving you a bright feeling. The sky is not completely dark yet, and the photos taken are absolutely stunning.
✨Summary
When night falls, the stars on the opposite side of the Yuzhong Peninsula are brilliant, and you can fully feel the hustle and bustle of Chongqing's mountain city. There is no need for very gorgeous decoration here, but it is full of New Year's flavor everywhere.

Chongqing Citywalk, it's really comfortable
Chongqing 1-day Citywalk
I want to share with you this personally tested walking route:
🔘 Recommended walk: Longmenhao Old Street→Xiahaoli→Nan'an District Hotel→Changjiang Cable Car (South Station)→Jiefangbei (find food)→Dajing Lane
🔘 Recommended small restaurants:
▪Heshan Tea Restaurant: A very Japanese-style tea house, with a panoramic view of the river. Sitting here for an afternoon on a rainy day, with a red dragon cake paired with jasmine snow, is definitely worth a try.
▪Shanbushen Cooperative: A thoughtful small restaurant in the scenic area, both the intestine noodles and pea noodles are highly recommended. Although the shop is small, the taste is not vague at all.
▪Tanghongying Hot Pot: A hot pot restaurant in the old street alley, there are not a few locals in line.
▪Yuwaidao Ice Rice Ball Shop: A popular shop visited by celebrities, surprisingly did not disappoint, especially recommend the glutinous rice balls with brown sugar.
▪Ghost Kitchen: A treasure private kitchen on the upper floor of the market near Jiefangbei. Although there is no house number and almost missed it, every dish is very authentic Chongqing. It's best to book in advance!
🔘 Recommended accommodation: Hotels in Nan'an District (Ji Xiaoshan, Lili, W plus)
Advantages: relatively quiet, loose roads, not so crowded
Disadvantages: fewer old snack shops, less nightlife
The fog in Chongqing in January is pervasive, and the wind is so strong that it seems to blow people away~ Walking anywhere at any time, exploring aimlessly, this is the greatest gift of Chongqing.
