Ciqikou Ancient Town Half-Day Tour

#SeptemberGoodPlaces2025 Ciqikou Ancient Town is one of Chongqing's famous historical and cultural attractions, boasting over a thousand years of history. Founded in the Song Dynasty, Ciqikou was originally named "Bai Yachang." During the Ming and Qing dynasties, due to the flourishing porcelain manufacturing industry, it earned the name "Ciqikou." Known as "Little Chongqing," it retains many architectural styles from the Ming and Qing dynasties, offering an important window into Chongqing's traditional culture. The ancient streets and alleyways still retain the cobblestone pavements, wooden dwellings, and stilt houses, all typical of Chongqing. There are also many traditional Chongqing teahouses. After a leisurely stroll, enjoy a cup of tea and slowly appreciate this important port, once a distribution center for goods from the lower reaches of the Jialing River during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It now boasts a vibrant cultural atmosphere.

Chongqing’s Timeless Old Town + Surprise Hilltop Serenity 🏮🌳 Stroll into the storybook lanes of Ciqikou, where centuries-old teahouses, vibrant lanterns, and bustling snack stalls dish out authentic flavors and nostalgia! Getting swept away in the crowds just means you’re in the heart of it all—but shhh, there’s a hidden tranquil spot waiting at the top. Must-dos: Start at the entrance and zigzag through the lively Cinan Street—sample spicy maocai, sugar twists, and Chongqing’s famed baked treats. Pause in front of folk art shops for lively photo ops (tip: lanterns and old doorways are super insta-worthy!). Climb towards the park at the summit: nearly silent compared to the main drag, it’s ideal for cooling off and catching your breath. Photo spots: Snap tasty street snacks with the backdrop of Ciqikou’s preserved architecture. Aim for the classic upward view from the alley steps, or shoot from the hilltop park overlooking the vintage rooftops—this spot is usually blissfully empty! Tips: Arrive before 10am if you want that relaxed, “old China” morning vibe. For the least crowds, head straight to the top park before browsing the shops. Wear comfy shoes (those stone alleyways get slippery!), and bring water—there’s surprisingly few spots to buy drinks up in the park. Precautions: The main shopping areas get packed, especially weekends. Guard your wallet and phone; pickpockets love busy lanes. Watch your step on rain-slick paths. #Chongqing #Ciqikou #StreetFood #TravelTips #HiddenGems
