Chongqing, if you don’t promote this ancient town, you’d be stupid! ! ! Speaking of the ancient towns in Chongqing
That's too many to count.
Every piece of bluestone contains thousands of years of historical stories! Among them, Zhongshan Ancient Town is a shining pearl in the southwest and the best symbol of the Bayu style. The old street in the style of Ming and Qing Dynasties winds along the river for more than 1,100 meters. It is quaint and quite photogenic. It retains the leisure of the old teahouse, the ancient charm of the old pharmacy and the nostalgic atmosphere of the barber shop, as if it has traveled back to that era. There are really not many such ancient towns. The ancient town is nestled against the mountain and is intertwined with three alleys: Shuilong Cave, Huangzhongba and Gaosheng Bridge. Strolling through it is a unique experience and every shot you take is a blockbuster. Back then, Zhongshan Ancient Town was a bustling water and land port where mountain products were exported and rice and salt were transported in. The sound of horse caravan bells resounded through the valley. The prosperous business scene was breathtaking. The commercial buildings were a highlight of the ancient town. They were built against the mountain, layer upon layer, stretching for thousands of meters. The design of the wind and rain field is simply a wonderful work of sheltering from the wind and rain, allowing people to enjoy peace while shopping. Such a town is most suitable for a short stay. You won't be disappointed
