I have visited many tourist cities across the country. Among them, I was deeply impressed by Jiangjin District in Chongqing!

Friends will ask, why? There are many reasons. One of the important points is that the comrades who work in culture and tourism in this district are very good at their business. They talk about Jiangjin’s tourism with so many treasures, it is extremely wonderful, very vivid and emotional;

These comrades are warm and civilized and treat tourists as relatives. Therefore, when tourists come to Jiangjin, they feel as comfortable and comfortable as returning home.

I had such a good impression of Jiangjin, so I felt even better about traveling around Jiangjin.

In Jiangjin, tourists and I encountered countless beautiful scenery in Jiangjin, and at the same time got to know the cultural ancient town of Jiangjin. In Jiangjin, we experienced the amazement of the ancient town that makes time return and stand still.

Just as Jiangjin people like to talk about - the small bridges and flowing water in the ancient town, the stone alleys, the misty rain, the slightly drunk golden autumn... Every corner of Jiangjin Ancient Town reveals tranquility and beauty.

01 Comrades from the District Culture and Tourism Committee who introduced Jiangjin’s tourist attractions proudly told us that Jiangjin has a rich history and has five famous Chinese historical and cultural towns, ranking first among districts and counties in the country.

The ancient towns floating in every corner of Jincheng are like "cultural symbols" one after another, attracting tourists to find the inclusive history and various stories of the ancient towns.

There are five ancient towns in Jiangjin: Zhongshan, Baisha, Tanghe, Shidao and Wutan. Each ancient town has a different style, including old streets and alleys, long rain alleys paved with bluestone slabs, and many more.

Colorful folk customs and mouth-watering snacks.

In 2002, it was approved as a famous historical and cultural town in Chongqing, and in 2004, it was rated as a couplet in Chongqing.

The town was approved as a famous historical and cultural town in China in 2005.

02 Walking into the Zhongshan Ancient Town, it is indeed well-deserved. The history and customs of the ancient town are rushing towards you.

Zhongshan Ancient Town can be said to be the best-preserved old commercial street of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Southwest China.

The old street of the ancient town was built along the Sunxi River, with a total length of 1,586 meters and 453 shops. It is now well preserved with 1,132 meters and 307 shops.

The whole street is divided into eight sections: Jiangjia Wharf, Guanyin Pavilion, Wanshou Palace, Shui Alley, Yiren Alley, Juandong Bridge, Moon Dam and Yandian Head.

The streets are paved with bluestones and are 3 to 5 meters wide. The buildings are made of wooden structures with a corridor-style pavilion in the middle. The entire old street does not get your shoes wet in the rain, cannot be exposed to the sun, and is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is also preserved

There are old teahouses, old taverns, old pharmacies, old troughs, barber shops, blacksmith shops, needlework shops and other traditional workshops.

Wandering in the ancient town of Zhongshan, people will see that the shop buildings in the ancient town are the most representative. The commercial street formed by the mountain is more than 1,000 meters long in the vertical direction, and it progresses layer by layer. Almost all of the street buildings in the wind and rain field can provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Tianri’s “closed” building was designed in such a way that it fully took into account the unpredictable rain and sunshine in eastern Sichuan.

Most of the buildings are two-story "stilted buildings" with pavements on the lower floor and people living upstairs. The pavement bays are made larger and are easy to assemble. The entire ancient town is covered with blue tiles, with red painted wooden boards and bamboo strips sandwiching the walls, and load-bearing columns.

, simple and dignified.

Zhongshan Ancient Town lives up to its name, attracting people to visit and play.

In the ancient town, the ancient streets lined with old houses cannot conceal their former splendor. The faint remaining lead on them still exudes the ancient and alluring fragrance.

The Yingen City Gate and Duyixuan built in the Ming Dynasty are connected to the ancient street, which further reflects the classicism and remoteness of the ancient street.

Wandering in the ancient streets, bathed in the ancient customs of the Central Plains, and checking family name couplets on the doors of each house, people's minds have already wandered back to the past thousands of years, giving them a unique feeling and interest.
