I, a local living in Chongqing, am deeply etched in my mind by the hustle and bustle of daily life and the city's imprints. The brightly lit Hongya Cave, the crowded Ciqikou, the Huangge Ancient Road with mountain city culture, and a tree that looks at the entire night scene Waiting for scenic spots has become a popular must visit attraction nowadays, but in Longxing Town, Yubei, there is a hidden Two Rivers Film and Television City, which highly restores the appearance of old Chongqing and has a strong urban life atmosphere. As the first stop to Chongqing, why not come here and explore the cultural history of old Chongqing

To get to know this place, we have to start with the movie 1942. This place was once the filming location of this movie. In 2012, it was built to cooperate with the famous director Feng Xiaogang to shoot the historical blockbuster "1942" and officially opened to society. Liangjiang Film and Television City is located in Longxing Town, Yubei District, Chongqing. It is a large-scale comprehensive tourist attraction that integrates film and television shooting, cultural tourism, vacation and leisure, and historical sightseeing.

Liangjiang Film and Television City, as a microcosm of Chongqing, offers a feeling of Little Chongqing. Here, you can visit all the old Chongqing attractions from 1942 in one go, including Qunlin Market, Hengdali Watch Store, Jincheng Bank, Jianguo Bank, Guanshengyuan Food Company, and more.

The Guotai Theater, which we are familiar with now, performs a play every day, and the popular check-in spots such as Xiaoshi and Qiansimen are all reflected here. Look at what these buildings looked like back then

The little picture books of childhood are still there, and the little ball is still there. Many people have cherished memories in their childhood, and there are also the small shops outside the school gate. I believe many people will think of countless childhood snacks: two cents a pack of sugar, a few cents shrimp sticks, delicious grilled sausages... Each bite can make people extremely satisfied.

Not only does the scene here have a strong Republican flavor, but the 'human touch' is also equally impressive. Walking on the street, one can occasionally encounter street artisans dressed in ancient costumes, as well as rickshaw drivers eagerly soliciting business. The enthusiasm of the tavern waiter seems to have traveled back a hundred years.

There is a museum in Republic of China Street with the largest collection of classical cameras in the country - Jiahe Classical Camera Museum, covering an area of 400 square meters and collecting thousands of Chinese and foreign classical cameras. For photography enthusiasts, these classical cameras have indescribable magic and are some of the rare classical cameras in the museum. They are considered rare in the world. Therefore, if you come to Republic of China Street, don't forget to visit the Classical Camera Museum to see what kind of people photographers used to rely on for their livelihoods~

If you're here for the first time, then let me tell you

Don't miss out on the following themed scenes!

Dress up in one second and explore the streets and alleys of old Chongqing with you

Isn't it satisfying to just enjoy the scenery? You can also dress up and immerse yourself in this scenery. The biggest pleasure of coming here is to go to a clothing rental store, choose your favorite clothes, and experience the fun of time travel. There are shops on the street that specialize in renting out various styles of clothing, such as student uniforms, military uniforms, cheongsams, etc. There is always one that can satisfy you. You can rent and wear it for 30 yuan for a day. In the 360 degree street view with no dead corners, taking a set of vintage photos is really suitable.

Old Street Culture - The 18 Stairs That Cannot Be Missed

A street on the Yuzhong Peninsula in Chongqing, symbolizing the true mountain city of old Chongqing. If you want to experience the real mountain city and old Chongqing, Eighteen Stairs is the best textbook. Chongqing city is divided into the upper half and the lower half, and the Eighteen Stairs is an old street that runs from the upper half (mountain top) to the lower half (mountain foot).

This old street is entirely paved with stone steps, connecting the bustling commercial district on the mountaintop with the old city area by the river below. Ordinary people live on both sides of the 18th staircase, and the street exudes a strong urban atmosphere. Walking the stairs of old Chongqing, eating a bowl of Chongqing noodles is considered a waste

Murals and road signs in the film and television city, with many people taking photos and checking in

There are murals in many places within the film and television city. The advertising culture of old Chongqing is said to have attracted over 300000 people born in the 1990s who come here to take photos with the murals as souvenirs. There are also many road signs that have a great feeling when taking photos

Large scale block real-life experience drama 'Sichuan Army Leaving Sichuan'

Of course, in addition to these various retro buildings, you can also see the large-scale street scene experience drama "The Sichuan Army Goes Out of the River" recently launched by Liangjiang Film and Television City on site, which takes about half an hour to perform.

Interactive experience is a major highlight of "Sichuan Army Goes Out of the River". The design inspiration for the interactive segment comes from independent programs that have been popular among tourists since the opening of the Liangjiang International Film and Television City scenic area, such as "Grand Parade" and "Street Stunt". The clever integration of interactive elements into the plot of 'Chuanjun Chuchuan' not only ensures the participation of tourists, but also respects the laws of history and performance.

Featured snacks that cannot be found even on Baidu in the film and television city

I searched Baidu and found that the snack "Mi Pao Pao" is not included in any of the Baidu entries. It has a soft texture and is not particularly hard or sweet. It costs 20 yuan per pack, and I brought two packs with me when I left

In fact, the method of making rice bubbles is relatively simple, which is to stir fry the glutinous rice with brown sugar, then pour it into a mold to form and cut it into pieces. Currently, there is only one restaurant in the film and television industry that sells it on the spot. The owner said that they have always insisted on using brown sugar, firstly for a more delicate taste and not too sweet, and secondly, the nutritional content of brown sugar is higher than that of white sugar. So this is also the reason why we have persisted in giving back to customers with quality for many years

New check-in point in the film and television city - stunning lake scenery

Compared to the memories of retro architecture, the beautiful scenery of the lake is also the reason why I stopped walking. Unlike the grandeur of large rivers and the tranquility of green feathers in the water city, this is also the most layered place for taking photos. The small bridges and flowing water, the green trees are shaded, and this place at night is also an excellent painting. The night when the lights are on, the calmness of the water surface appears exceptionally beautiful

On this side of the lake, a tea restaurant called Weilu has also been discovered. In the afternoon, you can have a cup of afternoon tea here, and the gentle breeze feels pleasant

Lunch is served here, and many home cooked dishes are delicious with plenty of spiciness. The owner is also very hospitable. By the way, if you want to come here for dinner, you must make an appointment in advance. Without an appointment, you won't be able to eat because you have to buy and cook according to the actual number of diners, and there are also many types of dishes

Wandering in the old street, enjoy colorful Paper Cuttings, old Shanghai cosmetics, embroidery handkerchiefs and other products that exude nostalgia; With the slight jolting of the manual rickshaw, the familiar call of "extra" from the newsboy could still be heard. Renting a set of Republican era clothing and walking through the streets and alleys... everything felt like traveling back to the life of the Republican era, which is very suitable for people with nostalgia to stroll around. Of course, you can also form your own crew with your friends, fully satisfying your essence as a drama master. At this moment, you are the protagonist!
