Chongqing's bustling old streets are incredibly enjoyable to explore
Located in Chongqing!! Fun and exciting! Many friends come to Chongqing, and besides Hongya Cave, they don't know where else to go! I want to recommend a few old streets that are not only beautiful and fun to stroll through but also super super super super super super characteristic of Chongqing's flavor! The streets are filled with all kinds of plants and flowers, and the atmosphere of life is so strong😭

1⃣️ Huangge Ancient Path: Named after the Huangge trees, this ancient path is built along the mountain, with cliffs on one side and a precipice on the other. Walking up the stone steps, you are surrounded by tree shade, and the higher you go, the more healing the scenery becomes, especially on sunny days when the sunlight filters through the leaves, giving the feeling of being in a glowing green forest. If you get tired, there are teahouses and pavilions along the way to rest, and you'll pass by several quaint little wooden houses.
2⃣️ Longmenhao Old Street: The old street is built along the mountain and consists of more than two hundred buildings from different periods, including 18 outstanding historical and cultural buildings. It is the best-preserved and largest historical old street in Chongqing's main urban area! Wandering through these old streets and alleys, strolling in Longmenhao Old Street is like traveling through time and history.
📷Best photo spots: 'Mountain City Picture Frame' 'Stone Frame Gate'
3⃣️ Xiaohao Old Street: A renovated century-old street, Xiaohao Old Street, with its grey bricks and black tiles, has many interesting shops, coffee shops, and exhibitions worth exploring, with few people and beautiful scenery, great for photos📷.

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!

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!

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.

A small and fresh street, in fact, it seems that it needs to be done for a long time. There are many people who come here to take photos, but the navigation is not very accurate. It takes a long time to find it. Just look
Xiahao Old Street, located in the Nan'an District of Chongqing, close to Nanbin Road, close to a slope of the East Watergate Yangtze River Bridge, mainly Xiahao Main Street, Dongjiaqiao, Juelinsi Street, Vineyard and other streets.
Chongqing Xiahao Old Street, a place that retains the memory of Chongqing's old city, some people wave goodbye, some people come here, some miss its past bustling and lively, some people love all its appearance, past, present, future, every moment...
Very re-traditional commercial old street, or hot pot.
[View] Old neighborhood, still suitable for walking more, very good
Eighteen stairs have disappeared, and Xiahaolao Street is also disappearing. I can imagine how busy it once was. Just like the factory area in my childhood, the neighbors are comfortable and supportive. One day I will go to another place to eat, and another day I will have other children to sleep in my home. At present, Xiahaolao Street is being demolished and rebuilt. Even on holidays, there are very few people left. Several other old shops are still open, and want a good place to nostalgia
After getting off the cableway, we walked to Xiahaolao Street. It takes 20 minutes to half an hour to walk from the ropeway station. But along the way, you can feel old Chongqing. It's obvious that this side is much older than the other side. Xiahao Old Street is not easy to find, but because there were many people in the past, we followed the crowd down. The demolition has begun here. Most of the people have moved away. Only the shops that have not been closed here are still open. It's a pity, but it's also the inevitable trend of urban development. But can we consider fixing the old as before?
The scenery is pleasant, the fun is Hang Seng, and the price is high.
