Ciqikou

Wandering through Ciqikou (磁器口) – Where time flows slowly in the heart of bustling Chongqing The main street here is always lively, bustling with chatter and laughter. Shops line the street, offering all kinds of fragrant local specialties — from crispy peanut candies to spicy grilled skewers. The vibrant atmosphere, the crowd passing by, and the sweet and spicy aroma are truly captivating! But, just turn into one of the small cobblestone alleys, follow the ancient stone steps leading up the hillside, and a completely different Ciqikou reveals itself. The noise fades, giving way to a peaceful and quiet space. I wandered around, gazing at the moss-covered rooftops and feeling a rare serenity while breathing in the fresh air. Ciqikou truly is a beautiful blend of the lively and the tranquil, the modern and the old. An unmissable experience when visiting Chongqing!
