The Loong Boat Festival is coming soon. I believe many friends have plans to travel to Chongqing or are on their way. But every holiday, Chongqing's major online celebrity attractions can be described as a sea of people. Although Chongqing is very hospitable, and even will let out the river crossing bridges like Qiansimen to everyone, as the Internet celebrity capital in recent years, everyone should not underestimate its popularity. Many places need long queues, or even crowded people. So how can we avoid the crowd and have fun? Yufan would like to recommend a few good places to everyone. There are really few scenic beauty spots, and several places do not require tickets.

Chongqing Graffiti Street

Where is Chongqing the most popular on holidays? Hongya Cave, Chaotianmen, Suoshou of the Yangtze River, Liziba, and Monument to the people's Liberation are almost all popular online attractions, so if you want to really have fun, you should avoid these attractions. So I recommend several good attractions outside Yuzhong Peninsula, such as the nationally famous graffiti street, which is not only the largest graffiti street in China, but also the largest graffiti street in the world. It is located near the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts.

On this less than two kilometer street, from buildings and walls to campus and shop exteriors, graffiti is everywhere, equivalent to a giant 3D graffiti painting.

Although some graffiti may be slightly outdated, the area is sparsely populated and quiet. You can take photos in any shape and feel artistic when taking pictures. When you stroll on the street, you will find that the most common shops on Graffiti Street are those selling picture frames, calligraphy and painting, brushes, and framing.

The important thing is that everyone can create here, and they can paint their thoughts and wishes on the wall. They can be both spectators and participants. If you create a satisfactory work here and take a photo on it, it will definitely become your exclusive memory in Chongqing.

Transportation Teahouse

If you go to Huangjueping Graffiti Street, don't miss the traffic tea house on the street. Although it is just an ordinary tea house, it is also the hottest internet famous tea house in Chongqing. It is necessary to have a cup of tea and get a card.

The Traffic Tea House is located in an inconspicuous alleyway on Graffiti Street. If you don't know how to get there, you can ask for directions. The locals know and are very enthusiastic, and they will definitely tell you how to get there. The biggest feature of this tea house is its simplicity, and it is the only tea house in Chongqing that maintains the style of the 1970s and 1980s.

The traffic tea house is not large, with an old-fashioned wooden frame structure, uneven beams, gray black bricks and mottled walls that reveal a unique sense of the times. This tea house with a strong urban atmosphere runs through the daily life of the people of Lao Huangjueping. The first pot of tea water in the morning needs to be boiled by oneself. For decades, it has been like a day, as if curious tourists, filming crews, and photographers have nothing to do with them and coexist harmoniously.

Chuanmei Gate

The full name of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts is Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts. Although the school is called Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, it is an old school of art that has grown up in Chongqing. It is listed as one of the eight major art schools in China and has produced famous artists such as Du Yongqiao, He Duoling, Luo Zhongli, Pang Maokun, Gao Xiaohua, A Ge, and Zhang Xiaogang.

Beside the alumni wall is an internet famous wavy road, but it was only when I was there that I realized that the so-called twists and turns cannot describe this strange road. From a distance, it does look like a rolling and undulating wave. If you drive here to play, the experience you gain both physically and mentally will be even stronger - the ups and downs are as intense as a road off-road race.

Beside the alumni wall is an internet famous wavy road, but it was only when I was there that I realized that the so-called twists and turns cannot describe this strange road. From a distance, it does look like a rolling and undulating wave. If you drive here to play, the experience you gain both physically and mentally will be even stronger - the ups and downs are as intense as a road off-road race.

Colorful terraced fields, passing through alumni walls and wavy roads, you will see a colorful terraced field. These terraced fields are all made of various colored porcelain tiles, layered and undulating, very beautiful. Many people come here to take photos.

In the middle of the colorful terraced fields, there is a giant ruler sculpture. It is known that this huge ruler is called "Scale", which was personally designed by contemporary art master Fang Lijun. It has many meanings. Some say that every artist should have a ruler in their heart, loyal to art and their own ideals; Another theory is that every step in the development of Chuanmei is taken step by step by all Chuanmei students, without shortcuts, and can withstand the test.

Inside the colorful terraced fields are the castle style gates of Chuanmei, which are all composed of various discarded items. Their architectural design combines modern, traditional, street, rural, and absurd creativity seamlessly, and the beauty of the scenery can be described as a unique cave. "Castle Gate" is one of Chuanmei's characteristic buildings.

Luo Zhongli Art Museum

Beside the gate of Chuanmei, there is a very beautiful art museum - Luo Zhongli Art Museum, which is one of the three provincial-level art museums in Chongqing and also the largest art museum in terms of area. It is named after Luo Zhongli, the former dean of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts and the author of the famous painting "Father", and is also a very famous internet celebrity attraction in Chongqing.

The Luo Zhongli Art Museum includes the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts Art Museum, the Rent Collection Institute Exhibition Hall, and the Luo Zhongli Art Museum. The entire building is designed as an enclosed courtyard, with each building resembling a granary, with a floor height of 4 or 3 stories.

This colorful exterior wall, made of broken tiles, is dazzling and cool enough, full of personality and fashionable artistic atmosphere. It can be said to be the most beautiful and cool art museum in China, even without a doubt.

The Most Beautiful Bookstore in China - Chongqing Zhongshuge

This is not only a bookstore, but also an internet famous attraction. It is said that the X-living team led by designer Li Xiang, who returned from studying abroad in the UK, provided the design ideas for Zhongshuge. Their design is not a coffee shop style "petty bourgeois atmosphere" that is easy to replicate on the streets and alleys. But based on the local cultural and geographical characteristics of Chongqing, it has gained a lot of attention, pursuit, and discussion - even attracting magazine media from Italy and Japan, whose reports have made Zhongshuge famous overseas.

There are many netizens who come here to check in every day, so Zhongshuge is not a bookstore opened for locals, nor is it specifically for "book lovers". There are a large number of highly mobile tourists inside, and citizens who come just to join the fun are also its market.

However, if you go to clock in at Zhongshu Pavilion, it's best not to bring a professional camera or make loud noises. If you want to take photos, just take a photo with your phone. It's really beautiful inside, but there are fewer tourists compared to places like Hongya Cave. You can take photos slowly and freely.

Chongqing Dream Castle

This is also an internet famous scenic spot. Although its fame may not be as good as Hongyadong and Liziba for friends from other places, it is indeed a great place for taking photos because it is really dreamy and the tickets are not expensive. This is the only scenic spot I recommend that requires purchasing tickets.

The full name of Dream Castle is Huashengyuan Cake Dream Castle. It is located at 123 Fengxiang Road, Dadukou District, covering an area of 170 acres. It is a scenic spot under Chongqing Huashengyuan Food Co., Ltd. It consists of a central factory, central square, tourist center, European town, museum, flagship store, Dream Ecological Park, shopping and leisure center, etc.

The Dream Castle is not very big, but it is very suitable for taking photos. Prepare small props in advance, such as Mickey Mouse Press, Angel Wings, Bubble Camera (which may be more expensive to purchase in the scenic area), etc., and take some beautiful photos. Both adults and children will be very happy.

There is a Shapingba Museum next to Feng Yuxiang's old residence. If you are interested, you can also go in and take a look. Not far away are Guo Moruo's old residence, Feng Yuxiang's old residence in Chongqing, and Zhang Zhizhong's old residence in Chongqing

Feng Yuxiang's former residence

Chongqing, as the capital city of the Republic of China, once had a large number of political figures and celebrities living here, leaving behind many former residences and old houses. There are now dozens of preserved ones, which are not recommended here one by one. However, since we have gone to the University City, Feng Yuxiang's old residence located in Chenjiaqiao can be visited.

Feng Yuxiang's former residence is located in Baihe Village, Chenjiaqiao Town, Shapingba, Chongqing. Originally the residence of local gentry Zhang Hainan, it was called the "Zhang Family Courtyard" at that time. In early 1939, General Feng Yuxiang purchased the courtyard and named it "Anti Japanese Cottage". During the Anti Japanese War, Feng Yuxiang and his wife Li Dequan and their children worked and lived here for seven years.

There is a Shapingba Museum next to Feng Yuxiang's old residence. If you are interested, you can also go in and take a look. Not far away are Guo Moruo's old residence and Zhang Zhizhong's old residence in Chongqing, which can also be visited together.

Food recommendation: Chongqing hotpot

When traveling to Chongqing, hot pot must be eaten. As one of the cradles of hot pot, Chongqing hot pot is part of the dock culture, and its characteristics are known for its spicy and hot. I don't recommend specific stores. I only recommend not going to the so-called big brands and online stores. It's absolutely right to go to the old hot pot that local people like to eat in the alleys. If you can't eat spicy food, you can ask for a Double-flavor hot pot and a bowl of ice powder. If you feel too hot, you can eat a mouthful of ice powder, and you will feel much better instantly.

Accommodation recommendation: Chongqing Shizhisha Homestay

Why recommend this homestay? One reason is that I have stayed there myself and it was good. More importantly, the recommended attractions are mostly concentrated in the traditional old city areas of Shapingba and Jiulongpo, which are also cultural centers. We deliberately avoided the traditional holiday town of Yuzhong Peninsula, so when we stay, we don't need to go to Yuzhong District to do some camping. However, we cannot stay in the area at night, so I recommend everyone to stay around Three Gorges Square.

Although the Three Gorges Square is not as famous as Monument to the people's Liberation and Chaotianmen, it is also one of the five major business districts in Chongqing, which are as famous as Monument to the people's Liberation and Guanyin Bridge. The night here is also lively, and it is one of the best places to experience the night life in Chongqing. There are colleges and universities such as Chongqing University and Chongqing Normal University around, so it is also one of the areas where young people are most concentrated. It can also be said to be one of the fashion centers in Chongqing.

Compared with Monument to the people's Liberation, Guanyin Bridge, Chaotianmen and other places, the consumption of the Three Gorges Square is lower. Although there are many hotels and B&Bs here, there are not many with good environment and high cost performance. The B&B I recommend is not famous, but it gives me a very good feeling.

Although it is a homestay, the standard of facilities inside is not low, giving a feeling comparable to that of a five-star hotel. Whether it is bedding or bathing facilities, they are all high-end domestic brands. Moreover, every room is equipped with a high-end 3D cinema. At night, you can turn off the lights and lie on the bed to visit your favorite TV, movies, or play online games with friends. This feeling is not too good.

Yufan noticed that in the public areas of Shizisha Homestay, there are many spray paintings about Chongqing landmarks and culture. Without leaving the homestay, one can enjoy the most beautiful scenery, distinctive buildings, and highly influential Shaci culture in Chongqing.

This is right next to the Three Gorges Square, where you can enjoy the hustle and bustle when you leave and the tranquility when you enter. With the price of a homestay, you can enjoy five-star comfort, and the transportation is also extremely convenient. From the Three Gorges Square, you can take the subway or bus to reach major scenic spots and internet famous scenic areas in Chongqing.

Afterword:

Chongqing, a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and water, is not only rich in tourism resources, but also a city of immigrants. It is inclusive but not exclusive, and does not bully or kill tourists. Many scenic spots are free, so it is absolutely worth visiting again and again. If it is normal, you must go to Hongya Cave, Chaotianmen, Monument to the people's Liberation, Liziba, Ciqikou and other popular online scenic spots. But if it is a holiday, I suggest that you do not crowd into the sea. Go to these places suggested in this article, and you will never be disappointed. If you have any questions, please leave comments later. I am willing to provide you with information and help within my ability.
