Ciqikou Ancient Town
Ci Tong Lu, Shapingba Qu Phone: Not AvailableAbout
Ciqikou (磁器口 Chongqing Anceint Town), Ci Tong Lu, Shapingba Qu (Several buses go there including 808 and 843.). Meaning "Porcelain Port" as porcelain has long been made & transported from here, located in ShaPingBa, on the banks of the Jialing River. This is a step back in time with several streets of Chongqing as it was, (and still is in some places). It is mostly comprised of small shops selling tourist stuff, but does lead down to the river where it is possible to board a restaurant boat and where the present Hostel is located. The temple at the top of the hill is worth a visit. Worth a visit for a couple of hours. Unlike similar places in China, this one is still in its original state and not a reconstruction. Walking uphill away from the river and main tourist area, it is still populated by regular families and homes as it has always been. (29.581350,106.448260)
