Wandering Through Longmenhao & Xiahaoli — Hidden Charm by the Yangtze

Right after stepping off the Yangtze River Cableway, I wandered into the charming old streets of Longmenhao (龙门浩) and Xiahaoli (下浩里) — and it turned out to be one of the most peaceful moments of my Chongqing trip.

The cooling weather made strolling around especially pleasant, and best of all, there were no crowds. Just quiet alleys, timeworn brick walls, quirky art corners, and that perfect blend of old Chongqing with a modern twist. I found plenty of great photo spots, from hanging lanterns to old-style shopfronts that look straight out of a film set.

It’s hard to believe this little pocket of serenity is just a short walk from the busy cableway terminal. If you’re into photo walks, café hopping, or just soaking in nostalgia without the tourist rush, this area is a gem.
