Almost every Chongqing travel guide mentions Hongya Cave. As a must visit internet famous attraction in Chongqing, the beautiful night scenery has become the label of Hongya Cave. Whenever night falls, Hongya Cave becomes a dreamlike place like Spirited Away, with people gathering here from all over. The place is crowded with people and lively.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the night, Hongya Cave appears particularly deserted during the day. It seems that it has not changed since its popularity in 2018, which makes people sigh. It's already 2020, is Hongya Cave still only supported by the night view to maintain its internet famous facade?

Of course not! What can we play in Hongya Cave during the day? Next, I will tear open the outer layer of the night view of Hongyadong for you and take you back to the old Chongqing neighborhood of the 1980s.

This is a newly built block in the scenic area of Hongya Cave in 2020, located on the 5th floor of Hongya Cave.

This place replicates the appearance of Chongqing in the 1980s: Disco Square, No. 5 tram, supply and marketing cooperative, Baba tea, vintage photo studio

(Reunion 1980 Block Check in Guide)

The Reunion of Hongyadong 1980 Block incorporates the urban atmosphere and old alley scene culture of old Chongqing, truly restoring the various forms of Chongqing's urban life in the 1980s. The block is divided into inner city and outer city:

The outer city is mainly composed of several historical scenes, including the fruit wholesale market, Bayi Road Tongzi Building, Datong Street, Taipingmen River Street, and Dayanggou Market;

The inner city is divided into several historical scenes, including Chongqing Station, Zourong Road, and the city center square. Entering from the entrance of the duplex camera, turn right to embark on a journey of memories. Every inch of air after entering carries a strong sense of the times, and every step can capture vintage blockbusters. Since 2020 cannot be restarted, let's reunite with 1980. Interested friends must not forget to go to Hongyadong in August to Chongqing where we made an appointment in 1980!

Suitable styles - retro, Hong Kong, cyberpunk
What's the soul of going out for fun without taking photos? To play well, taking photos is essential! Whether it's a special appointment or a tourist photo shoot, the scenes here are definitely worth it! Every point can serve as a perfect background. Here are a few of my favorite scenes that I would like to introduce to you. Without further ado, here are some valuable insights!

Placing the headlight sign at the beginning of the introduction is because it has the potential to become a popular check-in spot on the internet. The combination of red, yellow, blue, and green lights is rich and not cluttered, such as "Reunion 1980", "DISCO Square", "Zourong Road", "Supply and Marketing Cooperative" The names of the entire street scene are integrated into this signboard. Here, you can first take a panoramic picture, then compare it with a scissor hand to take a standard tourist photo, and finally insert both hands into a bag to take a cool punk style photo. This is definitely eye-catching material on my social circle!

Shancheng Cinema
How many people's beautiful memories are these three words of Teresa Teng? "Sweet and sweet, you laugh sweetly, like flowers blooming in spring." Such a simple and pure confession is sweet to the heart; Time flies by, I only care about you "deeply warms people's hearts. Every person who has been attracted by her gentle singing will leave a warm feeling in their heart that will not be diluted by time, and hearing her name will naturally bring long-lasting longing and remembrance. At the Shancheng Cinema, sitting on a wooden bench immerses people's thoughts, and the holographic MR interactive music show "Searching for Teresa Teng" combines leading modern technology elements. Viewers can watch Teresa Teng "personally" sing classic songs in 3D without wearing any devices, and every frown and smile instantly takes you back to Teresa Teng's live concert 30 years ago, where you can have a passionate duet across time and space.

Tram Route 5
The No. 5 tram, indicated by a white stop sign, was the main mode of transportation for Chongqing residents in the 1980s. Its body was white and blue, and the carriage was simple and clear. Although it cannot be restarted, it can bring back the memories of that time, take you through the memories of childhood, and bid farewell to the golden years. This place is really easy to photograph! You can lean against the exterior of the car to show a melancholic look, sit inside the car and look out the window, or stand in the carriage and create a fashionable blockbuster.

Disco Square
Whenever disco music plays again, we are still together. With dynamic music and colorful lights, come here to dance a magical disco and experience the disco atmosphere of the 1980s. When we went there, we saw some internet celebrities filming dance videos. After standing and watching for a while, if we weren't sorry to disturb them, we would have wanted to jump along with them. I heard that after the official opening, there will be interactive activities such as the Era Dance Troupe and internet celebrity performances. Listening to the dynamic disco and forgetting your troubles and worries will be too happy! By the way, the photos here are also very beautiful. The lighting mainly comes in three colors: red, blue, and green, rotating and hitting the face, giving it a unique flavor. There is also a TV wall on the right, which is composed of a black and white old TV and an old-fashioned radio. The black and white images and jumping mosaics are too realistic.

Ba Ba Tea
Ba Ba Tea is located on Taiping Street and is an open-air old tea house surrounded by stones. The tables and chairs are old wooden tables and bamboo chairs used in the past, and there is also a tree next to it.

When you get tired of strolling, just sit down here and enjoy a cup of Ba Ba tea, feeling the leisure time of old Chongqing while reminiscing about the unique lifestyle of the 1980s and 1990s.

The sense of immersion is too strong. I feel like I have seen people around me taking a break. Some are sitting on the slate, fanning their fans, some are rolling up their sleeves and chatting for a few seconds, some are slowly pulling the tea lid, some are focused on listening, speaking, and storytelling

Supply and Marketing Cooperative, also known as Gu Mingsiyi, is a "specialized cooperative for supply and sales". In the era of planned economy, the government promoted the establishment of a "super chain store" through fundraising, which had to deal with food, clothing, clothing, and buying and selling things. The green shelves and glass windows inside are all unique to the 1980s. When we went there, there were no items displayed in the windows. It is estimated that various good items will be displayed when the store opens, and it would be meaningful to buy some souvenirs here to give to friends.

In addition to the fifth floor of the reunion 1980 block, the sixth floor of Hongya Cave is expected to open the Bayu Twelve Sights Light and Shadow Interactive Art Museum in September. It is said that it is based on the four seasons solar terms and the ancient and modern space as clues, and uses immersive multimedia art installations to integrate AR technology to show our twelve Bayu sights in Chongqing. There are also original works with the guidance of the anime role, which forms a sharp contrast with the fifth floor of the reunion 1980 block. One ancient and one modern, so that tourists coming to Hongya Cave can experience Chongqing culture in many ways.

(Official price chart)

Chongqing in the 1980s is a post 90s city with a history I have never experienced before. It is Lingtangyuan, an old popsicle that can be bought for ten cents, broadcast by Chongqing Channel For those of us born in the 1990s and 2000s, the 1980s are both curious and desirable, yearning for its down-to-earth atmosphere, fireworks flavor, and indescribable unique charm.

(Reunion of old Chongqing life scene in 1980)
When it comes to Hongya Cave in the past, people only think of night scenes. Perhaps from now on, the label of Hongya Cave will have an additional "Reunion 1980". Watching the night view of Liangjiang River at night and strolling through 80s old street during the day should be the latest and coolest gameplay of Hongyadong in 2020.

It used to be said that Hongyadong is a paradise for outsiders, and Chongqing people rarely go there. But now it carries countless flavors of old Chongqing. Chongqing friends, tell me, will you fall in love with this place?

It's not open yet. After it opens to the public on August 18th, there should still be some 80s themed stores joining, and the experience should be even better.

I should definitely go again when it's open! Friends who like this style and tone must mark it for collection.
