1、 Huaying LIVE, Banan Nightlife

Where should I go shopping at night? Of course, it's Huaxi LIVE, a newly developed cultural and commercial district in Banan District. The lights are shining brightly, and the liveliest nightlife in Banan begins here. Street performers and players followed one after another, making the Huaxi Cultural Center lively and bustling, exuding a metropolitan atmosphere.

However, what Chongqing people are most proud of is the Huaxi LIVE Fish Cave Sports Center. As the saying goes, 'average, third in Asia', referring to the largest sports stadium in Southwest China. When we entered, the venue had just finished a ice hockey game and the floor was melting. The management introduced that Huaxi LIVE Fish Hole Sports Center is an upgraded version of Beijing Wukesong Sports Center, which can accommodate more than 16000 people and can be transformed into an NBA standard basketball court within six hours. In addition to sports events, various cultural and entertainment activities are also held here.

Taking the subway back to the hotel from Yudong, I found the entrance of the subway brightly lit and colorful. Every time a pedestrian passes by, it's as elusive as a fairy tale world, and I can't help but stop and take a photo.

2、 Chongqing International Biotech City

Or called the "Biomedical Innovation Exchange Center". The focus of the work is to "accelerate the international development of Shengte City by taking advantage of the important strategic fulcrum of the Western Development and the urban positioning of the junction of the the Belt and Road and the Yangtze River Economic Belt".

From the rendering, the prospect is very promising. The future biological city will be like an independent green kingdom, perhaps a resort or tourist attraction.

3、 Litai Clothing, High tech Tailored

There weren't many surprises, but I experienced a feeling of 3D customization. It seems that the era of measuring with a ruler is over. Now, as long as you stop in front of the computer, the dimensions of every part of your body are clearly visible. Obviously, in the future, humans will have no privacy at all.

4、 Mudong Ancient Town, Yangtze River Water Country Boat City

The ancient town is known as the first water terminal in Chongqing, located on the south bank of the Yangtze River. It is a "water and land hub" and a "water country boat market". Since ancient times, it has been a hub for shipping and commodity distribution in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, and Hubei provinces. In the Ming Dynasty, Shuiyi was established, and in the Qing Dynasty, Mudong Town was established, which has been used to this day.

Based on the old street and following the trend of the river, create a new street that is a place for eating, drinking, and entertainment. From the promotional images on the streets, it can be seen that because the local "Mudong Mountain Song" has been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage, Mudong is also known as the "hometown of Chinese folk culture and art". Perhaps only during the holiday season can we see scenes of singing and dancing. There is a Mudonghe Street Theater in the ancient town, which showcases the unique culture of Mudong and promotes and popularizes the folk songs of Mudong.

I am more fond of the undeveloped wooden cave old street, so I searched for the way. The old street runs parallel to the new street, and the small alleys covered in moss extend southward. The old houses are staggered and scattered, creating a typical Chongqing mountainous residential environment that flows with the traces of time. Young people go out to work, while left behind elderly people form a dragon gate formation in small groups. Seeing outsiders come in, greet them with a smile.

Along the way, there are the Huang Family Courtyard and the Christian Church, with the most famous being the "Yang Cangbai Former Residence". This gentleman is a local and a loyal follower of Mr. Yixian, a modern Chinese democratic revolutionary, a founding member of the Xinhai Revolution, and a loyal follower of Mr. Yixian. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to visit his former residence.

A gate of 'Chinese taxation', which looks majestic and resembles a building from the Republican era, but inside it has been abandoned. Across from it is the wooden cave apartment, like the old society scene in old movies, quite weathered. It is said that there are still people living there, costing 10 yuan per night.

5、 In winter, one should soak in an open-air hot spring

As the temperature drops, going to Xiuquan Yingyue to soak in a hot spring is the most comfortable. Xiuquan Yingyue Hot Spring is located at No. 102, Dongquan Main Street, Banan District. There are more than ten open-air bathing pool of different sizes and water temperatures. The hot spring is shrouded in smoke and has a high temperature, equivalent to a sauna room. However, my favorite fish therapy is lying in the pool almost asleep, and I can even hear the sound of small fish tearing at my skin. When I open my eyes, the fish swims around my mouth.

Stealing half a day of leisure, soaking in a hot spring, having a hot pot dinner, drinking two taels, even if it's a fairy, it's nothing more.

6、 Colorful forest, shrouded in smoke

Also known as the 'Colorful Forest Family', it is adjacent to the ancient town of Fengsheng. Due to the planting of various types of trees such as golden leaf soapberry, golden leaf water sand, red maple, etc. In late autumn, the mountains are covered in mountains and hills, with thousands of red mountains and complex colors, hence the name.

It's not the season, the leaves on the trees are mostly green, and it may take some time for them to recover.

7、 Fengsheng Ancient Town, the first dry dock on the Yangtze River

Founded in the Song Dynasty, it is located 20 kilometers south of the Yangtze River and 40 kilometers east of Chaotianmen Port. It is the junction of Banan, Fuling, and Nanchuan, hence it is also known as the "Three Counties of Chicken Singing" or "One Foot Stepping on Three Counties". During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it flourished due to the development of commerce and was known as the "first dry dock on the Yangtze River". It is still thriving and was first listed as a "historical and cultural ancient town".

Unlike other well-known ancient towns, Fengsheng Ancient Town is a part of the local people's lives. They set up stalls, go to markets, buy and sell, set up dragon gate formations, and are noisy and bustling. The streets and alleys flow with a unique Ba Yu ancient commercial and cultural atmosphere.

8、 Banan Museum, a historical artifact of the Cuban people

The museum is located on the 6th floor of the Cultural Center in Banan District, with a small exhibition hall showcasing historical artifacts of Cuba. Ba State once had a vast territory and was eventually conquered by the Qin Dynasty. The traces of the Ba people can only be imagined through these exquisite cultural relics, which reveal scenes of their ancestors' production, warfare, and other daily lives.

The treasure of the town hall is the "Tiger Nut", a tiger crawling on a bronze jar. Archaeology suggests that it is a military instrument, equivalent to the "gold" in the "ringing of gold and closing of the army".

9、 Chongqing Hanhai Aquarium, Fantasy Ocean World

Located at 133 Jialong Road, Banan District. Entering the aquarium for the first time, the various types of fish are truly eye opening. Some are incredibly ugly, some are colorful, some resemble stealth fighter jets, and some may appear beautiful but are highly poisonous. The fantastic world of jellyfish is unforgettable, and many people bring their children to visit, making it a great place for education and entertainment.

I have delved deep into the depths of the Red Sea and visited the real underwater world, but seeing the aquarium world of Hanhai Aquarium is still breathtaking.

10、 Xiliutuo Town, it's very petty bourgeois here

Near the Yangtze River, Lijiatuohui North Road, adjacent to Camellia Plaza. A new town with a petite bourgeois atmosphere, especially charming at night. When I came, it had just rained and there were relatively few people, making it look a bit empty. A lotus square, a gratitude tower, and an ancient stage connect the entire town, showcasing both ancient and modern styles.

Actually, I want to watch a Sichuan opera. I'm sure it can be performed on this ancient stage, right?
