Exploring a Hidden Ancient Town in China!

Join me on a stroll through the atmospheric alleyways of Ciqikou Ancient Town, one of Chongqing’s oldest and most enchanting neighbourhoods.

Once a bustling porcelain trading hub during the Ming and Qing dynasties, Ciqikou today is a vibrant blend of ancient charm and modern life — where centuries-old architecture, sizzling street food, and local artisans come together in a timeless setting.

📍 Just 14km from Chongqing’s city centre, this riverside village offers a glimpse into traditional life in southwest China — and it’s full of surprises.

🔍 In this video, you’ll experience:
• Cobblestone streets and heritage-style buildings
• Local snacks like spicy tofu, glutinous rice cakes, and more
• Teahouses, calligraphy shops, and street performers
• Peaceful views of the Jialing River
• A few personal reflections on slowing down and soaking up the moment

🧳 Whether you’re planning a trip or just curious, this is a place you won’t want to miss.
