When white walls become the most practical canvas
When imagination becomes the source of human art
When colors become expressions of brilliant life
Graffiti, carrying a symbol of culture, is also a gift and love of humanity for a better life

It has to be said that Chongqing is a city very suitable for graffiti.

Chongqing, 60% of the year, is shrouded in gray and white mist, with misty rain and mist. Although it has a unique atmosphere and flavor, it makes the locals yearn for sunshine and blue sky. So, we transferred our passion to the color world that we could create ourselves, from the Huangjueping Graffiti Art Street at the beginning, to the steel and cement punk graffiti in the Second Factory, and then to the Shijingpo community in "Passing by Your World"... Graffiti embellished the mountain city with younger, more vibrant, and more colorful elements.

So, this is my weekend, a Chongqing tourist route that goes on a date with graffiti, and also a subway that flies in the sky to the fairy tale world:

Accommodation: Tu Ya Mei Su
Play: Shijingpo. Time in the factory area
Transportation: Shijingpo Subway Station on Metro Line 1
Consumption: around 220 yuan/night
Attraction: Free

Sleep: Tu Ya Mei Su

Take Metro Line 1 to Shijingpo Station
You can see this' Tu Ya Mei Su 'at a glance“
This is a beautiful place where graffiti can be seen everywhere
From the hallway to the room, each wall offers a unique view

And these landscapes are all landmarks related to Chongqing

Let every guest have a process of discovering and understanding Chongqing

This is the lobby:

So this is not just a room with a view
It's more like a room surrounded by scenery
Ciqikou, Monument to the people's Liberation, the Great Hall of the People, Hongya Cave
They have all become paintings on the wall, and more importantly, the creator's love for Chongqing

Only works painted on the walls of apartments or outside subway cars are true graffiti

So this is a true graffiti themed homestay
These brightly colored paintings
Quietly becoming the "tourism ambassador" of Chongqing

And it's like the joy of choosing a blind box
You don't know what kind of scenery you will live in a room with
What kind of 'mountain city graffiti' will you see
This is a satisfaction and joy of discovering the unknown

For example, I was accidentally "assigned" to this "graffiti" room that best represents Chongqing's transportation characteristics
The "light rail" flying in the sky and the "cable car" crossing the river
These are the 8D magical landmarks of Chongqing Mountain City
Make the city I love even more cyberpunk

White sheets, light wood colored furniture
The wooden floor of Dali lime leaves enough space
There are no excessive decorations or burdens
It further highlights the agility and playfulness of that graffiti wall

Choose a beloved movie with a projector
Spending quiet nights with loved ones, children, and girlfriends

When there is a large graffiti painting in front of the bathtub in the room
It's hard not to let your imagination soar in such a bathtub

And this Meisu also has a laundry room and a gym

Although not large, it meets the needs of different groups of people

The breakfast area is colorful, spacious, and warm
There is also a bookshelf where you can easily remove a book
Immerse yourself in the world of words with your own time

Check in at Tuyamei Inn
It's like sleeping in a Chongqing Historical Graffiti Art Museum
Start a fairy tale for this graffiti journey in Chongqing

Shijingpo. Time in the factory area

On the small hill behind the Tuyamei Inn
From a distance, you can see colorful houses dotted with gray walkways
The residential area street of an old factory has been transformed and decorated with graffiti
This old factory area is Chongqing Special Steel in Shuangbei Shijingpo Street
The movie 'Passing Through Your World' was also filmed here

Let me first introduce the history of Chongqing Special Steel: the once glorious old factory of Chongqing Special Steel is now reduced to only eaves and tiles. At that time, Shuangbei had two large factories, namely Chongqing Jialing and Chongqing Special Steel. For our ancestors, these two factories carried the memories of their youth. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, a large number of anti Japanese military weapons were produced at Chongqing Special Steel. The factory made great contributions during the war and was once known as the "mother of southwest industry" after the establishment of New China.

Chongqing Special Steel was formerly known as the 24th Factory of the Military Industry Bureau. Nowadays, Chongqing Jialing has developed into China Jialing Group, while Chongqing Special Steel has gradually become Donghua Special Steel due to various factors and has become indifferent. Nowadays, although the glory of Chongqing Special Steel has passed and a large number of old factories have long declined or been restructured, some are desolate and some no longer exist, its historical accumulation remains in the hearts of generations of special steel workers.

The tube shaped building where I lived when I was a child transformed into a yellow house

I like this kind of change. This is the right way to use old things:

Graffiti Street is just over 100 meters ahead of Donghua Hospital

Factory Road · Time "is the beginning of this entire" Fairy Tale Street "

Every old house facing the street has turned into a colorful house

The pink bicycle and radio on the roadside wall
Reminiscences of childhood
That part of secretly listening to the radio in bed
The time of riding a small bike home after school
It seems like it's all buried here

Jumping houses, rolling iron rings, jumping goats, slingshots
These are the super classic games we played every day when we were kids
The little fox on the branch is like us in our childhood
Jumping up and down without stopping~

I really enjoy taking photos with graffiti

There is also a street filled with twelve zodiac signs
Each shop door corresponds to a constellation
Find your own zodiac sign
Take a super unbeatable and adorable single person photo
I am a Cancer, so I love my family.

Going further ahead, there is a yellow wall
The movie 'Passing Through Your World' was filmed near this staircase

Therefore, the surrounding area is also themed around movies

Using graffiti as the main method
Displayed the footage of the movie's framing
This is the end of the entire 'Fairy Tale Street'
Mainly a place to learn from the love story between Bai Baihe and Yang Yang

This family area of the old factory area, which is far away from disturbances, has been transformed into a themed street called "Factory Road · Time" by the Shijingpo Street Construction Slope Community.

There will be more and more graffiti on this graffiti street

New graffiti appears every once in a while
Find your own fairy tale world here!
