In Chongqing, a city rich in tourism resources, ciqikou ancient town is an ancient town deeply loved by tourists and one of the representatives of Chongqing's tourist attractions. Now there is a millennium old street in Chongqing, which has created a fake version of ciqikou ancient town, but few foreign tourists know about it.
Chongqing's "cottage version of ciqikou ancient town" is: Huangjueya Old Street in Chongqing. The whole Huangjueya Old Street in Chongqing is very similar to ciqikou ancient town in architectural style. It can even be said that in the antique architectural style of Huangjueya Old Street in Chongqing, there are many architectural features of ciqikou ancient town for reference.
Huangjueya Old Street in Chongqing is a millennium old street with a very long history in the main city. There is a saying among local people that "the Millennium Huangjueya is a link between the preceding and the following", which is enough to show that the older generation of Chongqing people recognize Huangjueya Old Street.
According to historical records, this ancient street was built in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is an important traffic post on the ancient tea-horse road and a thousand-year-old street that has passed through a thousand-year history today.
The architectural style of Huangbuya Old Street in Chongqing is very distinctive. Like ciqikou ancient town, Huangbuya Old Street has strong architectural features of ancient post roads in Chongqing and Guizhou. The antique materials of this ancient street are mainly wood, blue bricks, stones and other materials, and are restored and built according to the topography of the ancient street.
The whole old street has a total of 75 ancient houses in Bayu style/kloc-0. Among these ancient buildings, the most representative ones are An's former residence and Sanmao's former residence.
There are not only the former residences of celebrities, but also a large number of chambers of commerce, ancient tea horse stations, as well as various businessmen and teahouses.
Today's Huangjiaya Old Street in Chongqing is still an imitation of the "cottage version of Ciqikou" only from the overall imitation layout and imitation technology. No matter its building scale, architectural features or overall style, it is a large-scale antique restoration complex with great characteristics. But the only regret is that it pays too much attention to architectural style and basically loses the original style and historical background of Huangjueya Old Street.
Chongqing is a city with distinctive features, beautiful scenery, simple folk customs and rich tourism resources. But now, driven by economic interests, a large number of scenic spots that have been deliberately imitated have lost the original historical charm of the city.
