A thousand-year-old town, the epitome of Chongqing. Ciqikou ancient town, located on the Jialing River in Shapingba District, Chongqing, is a rare antique traditional cultural and historical block. It is a scenic spot with a unique landscape of "one river, two streams, three mountains and four streets" and a good place for convenient transportation, leisure and entertainment, and reliving the dream of old Chongqing.
Cikou was built in the Xianping period of Song Zhenzong (AD 998). Because the Ming Emperor Zhu Jun built a city in Baolun Temple, it is also called Long Yin Town. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, Ciqikou was named here because it was rich in and transported porcelain. As an important land and water terminal on the Jialing River, it used to be "a thousand people handed over during the day and a million lights at night". For a time, it was called "Little Chongqing".
Ciqikou has a profound historical and cultural heritage and is an extremely important part of Chongqing's famous historical and cultural city. Bayu culture, religious culture, Shaci culture, Hongyan culture and folk culture have their own characteristics. Therefore, some people say that "Bayu wind, Sha Ciyu, Hongyan soul, accompanied by Beijing".
There are primitive and rugged Bayu relics, ancient teahouses and a long history of dock culture. Nine palaces and eighteen temples where Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism coexist; Hongyan has awe-inspiring anti-Japanese war sites; There are unique Sichuan Opera chorus and dragon dance performances, and there are traditional tourism products with unique techniques and diverse varieties, including Maoxuewang, Qianzhangpi, Zanthoxylum bungeanum and peanuts.
