Chongqing, a famous mountain city in China. This place is built along the mountains and along the river, with a unique terrain that creates a distinctive urban style. With the rise of mobile terminals and the assistance of new media in recent years, Chongqing has suddenly become the hottest internet celebrity city in the country. During festivals and holidays, Chongqing's total number of tourists received is almost always among the top three, and there are even those who always occupy the first place. With more and more people coming to Chongqing to get to know and appreciate it, it has also become a filming location for many popular movies nowadays. For example, recently you, a teenager starring Yiyang Qianxi and Zhou Dongyu, were mainly filmed in Chongqing. But when it comes to the earliest films filmed in Chongqing, it is definitely impossible to bypass director Feng Xiaogang's work '1942'. The main filming location for this drama is the destination I want to introduce and share with you today, "Chongqing Liangjiang Film and Television City".

How to reach Chongqing Liangjiang Film and Television City

At present, the places that the film and television city can directly reach include Chongqing North Station, Hongqihegou, and Lianglu; Jiangbei Airport. There is currently no direct bus to the scenic area in other places, and it can only be reached by taking public transportation. Or you can drive there by yourself. Starting from Monument to the people's Liberation, the distance to Minguo Street is about 40 kilometers, and it takes 1 hour!

Consumption situation of Chongqing Liangjiang Film and Television City

Private car parking, parking fee 10 yuan, fixed price, 1 day management! The ticket is 40 yuan. The rental price for clothing in the scenic area varies, but as far as I know, it's 30 yuan per set. You can wear and take photos by yourself. Return on the same day. The food and snacks inside are not particularly expensive and within an acceptable range. There is a high-end restaurant called "Weilu" in the scenic area. We can provide authentic Sichuan cuisine for tourists to taste.

How to Play at Chongqing Liangjiang Film and Television City

1: Take Republic of China themed photos

This is also the reason why most tourists choose to come to the film and television city. Because the construction of the film and television city was to complement director Feng Xiaogang's 1942 film, the overall style and tone of the film and television city were built according to the appearance of Chongqing in the mid to late period of the Republic of China. Here is not only the still towering Memorial Monument for the Victory of the Anti Japanese War, also known as the Monument to the people's Liberation, because it was renamed in 1950.

In terms of appearance, the film and television city is completely copied from Chongqing in the 1940s. So when tourists walk on the streets of the film and television city, they immediately feel a sense of time travel. But the difference is that we don't need to worry about the politics and situation of that era, but fully enjoy the freshness brought by the span of time.

How can you not take a set of Republican style photos when you come to the film and television city? In fact, according to incomplete statistics, a considerable proportion of the tourists received by the film and television city every day come specifically to film the theme of the Republic of China. Because such distinctive buildings are already difficult to find in urban areas. In the film and television city, not only can there be a large number of such architectural complexes used as scenes, but there are also various professional costumes at that time, allowing tourists to freely match their favorite costumes and take unforgettable photos! How can it not make people's hearts flutter?

2: Taste the elements of the Republic of China flavor

Many people say that Chongqing is a city without cultural heritage, and the only thing that deserves attention is the culture of Dock Robe Brother, which is not considered elegant. However, in the later period of the Republic of China, Chongqing, as the auxiliary capital of the Nationalist government, was already one of the crucial cities in China. The culture left behind during the period of accompanying the capital is even more brilliant, how can it be said that there is no cultural heritage? Today, as we walk through the film and television city, we can also appreciate the charm of Chongqing during the Republic of China era.

I think the billboards in the film and television city are a major highlight. In fact, the streets of the Republic of China are not much different from those of our contemporary cities. It's just that in the past, it used to be graffiti on the walls, but now it has been replaced by high-tech display screens. In the film and television city, we find various billboards, and the vast majority of these billboards are advertisements for cigarettes. It can be seen that smoking was a very trendy and highly respected activity in the upper class during the Republican era. Of course, we still need to remind everyone that smoking is harmful to health. Please quit smoking as soon as possible.

Due to the underdeveloped society at that time, in addition to large businesses being able to graffiti on walls, we also noticed the emergence of "small flyers". These small advertisements, now known as' urban psoriasis', also held an important position during the Republican era. And we were pleasantly surprised to find that at that time, advertisements had already begun to show creativity. Merchants not only promote their products directly, but also use a humorous way to ridicule life and express the superiority of their products! This has a similar effect to modern advertising!

In addition, there is a Republican style element that cannot be ignored in the film and television city, which is the Queen's Dance Hall. During the period of accompanying the capital, Chongqing was a society of debauchery and extravagance, and it was also the time when the Kuomintang was at its lowest point of decline. The country is shrouded in wind and rain, but the high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang still sing and dance in peace. The Queen's Dance Hall was also a product of that time. The Queen's Dance Hall in the film and television city is no longer as lively as it used to be. But the daily scheduled song and dance performances still strive to allow tourists to experience the social form of that time. As an entertainment window, it carries not only the entertainment industry, but also a microcosm of an era and a government's decline. Nowadays, tourists can enter with tickets and quietly enjoy the song and dance performances from the Republican era!

3: Search for authentic cuisine that cannot be found on Baidu

Actually, when I was a child, I heard my mother-in-law tell me some stories from that era. For example, at that time, small noodles only cost 8 cents, and the seasonings were more abundant than they are now. These statements have made me inexplicably curious about the cuisine of the Republic of China era. On this trip to the film and television city, we also discovered several delicious foods to share with everyone.

Firstly, there is the single meat patty. Just hearing this name already has a certain gimmick. How is a pancake associated with being single? So there is also a poignant story here. The overall idea is that during the war years, the owner of a bakery developed feelings for a refugee woman and had to separate due to changes in the situation. Finally, after the establishment of the People's Republic of China and the stabilization of the situation, the man could no longer find the girl he was attracted to. The story of not marrying for a lifetime and only waiting to get married. Although it is impossible to verify the authenticity of the story now, there is a thought that always leaves a deep impression on people. Overall, the single meat patty is similar to the regular meat sandwich we eat now, with a decent taste.

Next is Longxing Longjin Tofu Dried. The reason why it is called dragon tendons is that clear stripes can still be seen in the middle of dried tofu, which looks like tendons, so it is called dragon tendons. This dried tofu has a great taste, not only tender but also chewy. The taste penetrates into every corner of dried tofu, and there will be no salty or light situation. Now in front of his shop, proudly hanging is the certificate of intangible cultural heritage of Yubei District, Chongqing, which shows the profound status of his martial arts world!

The last one is impressive, rumored to be an authentic delicacy that cannot be found on Baidu - rice bubbles. In fact, this dish is somewhat similar to the southwestern region, especially the way of eating brown sugar eggs with rice candy in Dali, Yunnan, which is particularly delicious. On Republican Street, not only can you eat rice bubbles soaked in the same water, but you can also taste such dried goods. It is not difficult to see that the production of dried goods is also made by simmering old sugarcane pure red soup over low heat to make syrup, and then adding glutinous rice to make rice foam and stir fried rice mixture. The taste is very crispy, sweet and delicious, it is a snack suitable for all ages! It is also a treasure of snacks in the film and television city!

4: Watch the sitcom 'Sichuan Army Goes Out of Sichuan'

This play is a street scene play that was only staged in late September this year. The plot is that due to the turbulent situation, the country is divided into two parts. The story of the children of Sichuan and Chongqing competing to join the Sichuan army, defending the country, and driving away the Japanese invaders. The highlight of the entire drama is that it is staged on the streets, with actors fully performing on the spot, and even facing unexpected insertions from tourists, which is quite difficult. Another aspect is that the film and television city has transitioned from a static landscape tour to a performance form that allows tourists to participate and enjoy with the people. Finally, it also conveyed a strong spirit of patriotism, seamlessly bordering with current values. Let's appreciate the charm of the characters in the play together!

In addition to these elements, I still recommend that you slowly stroll around the film and television city by yourself. Because only by experiencing it oneself can one integrate into that era. Time is irreversible, and the era cannot be reversed. We can only try our best to imitate and taste the unique flavors of different eras.
