Even the flood cannot wash away the heart of the waves that I want to go to Chongqing

It is said that traveling alone is a must-try part of life.
By chance, I embarked on this journey to Chongqing alone. I have a clear attribute of road blindness since I was a child. When I was a child, I relied on my friends to identify the road when I went out. Fortunately, when I grew up, the map software was very developed, and I relied on Baidu to find the road. But the reputation of 8D Magic Chongqing is really too loud. Moreover, Chongqing has just been hit by floods. What will this journey face? This is really a mystery.

Facts have proved that the journey of just a few days is full of illusions:
I encountered Hongyadong and Qianzamen Bridge with no lights on, and I saw Xiannv Mountain with heavy rain that made me unable to move forward. I even tried a half-day trip to the police station???
Various circumstances made me shout: I, the chosen one!

As the chosen one, God gave me a fantasy experience, but also gave me some sweetness. The beautiful scenery along the way was enough to offset all kinds of unexpected unpleasantness.

In Wulong, around Chongqing, there are multiple blockbuster scenes. Since Old Master Zhang Yimou left Tianguan Fuyi, it has become more like a secluded place for sword immortals.

If the lights were not turned on for one night, then I would come back for another night and finally saw Hongya Cave with the lights on
The classic Chongqing scenery is shocking

In the streets of old Chongqing where my younger brother had gone to take pictures, watch the Yangtze River Cableway and Raffles

Although Chongqing has become an Internet celebrity city, there are still many niche treasures that are not known to everyone.
For example, Danzishi Old Street

Of course, there are many delicious food! Hot pot, noodles, roasted brain flowers, and I am still hungry now when I think about it!
... The loneliest achievement in the world: eating hot pot alone, I finally achieved it!

So now, let's officially start our journey!

Take 1 ·First visit to Chongqing·City Centerarticles

Maybe because I used to fly alone for a while because of work, I didn't feel uncomfortable even when I went out alone for the first time. I actually felt like "I refused to take care of you if I went alone," hehe ~

There are heavy traffic and dense symmetry. In Internet celebrity Chongqing, everything is a tourist attraction...
That's right, this place in Terminal T3 is also a viewing point. People arriving by plane can visit it.

I specially chose an early flight today to fly to Chongqing and drop my luggage at B & B. I can still use it today!
Today, we mainly travel around the airport-city center ~!

white elephant House| The most suitable residential building for viewing the Yangtze River cableway

It may seem close, but it is actually impossible to touch it at all
In addition to parallel lines, there are also Yangtze River Cableway and White Elephant Residence

In Chongqing, a city with such a movie feel, my brain can't stop! Every time I use a paintbrush to write down the pictures in my mind, I am glad that although I am not professional, I still like to do it. This is my favorite way to record a place.
----------------

I put down my luggage at the B & B, set off slowly, opened the map software and headed for my destination, hoping not to take me into the ditch.
Walking into the old streets of Chongqing, the overpass stretches out from the residential buildings, the stairs connecting the corridor, and the neighborhood playing cards leisurely. The Chongqing flavor seems to have spread from all angles.

The White Elephant House is an old building in Chongqing. It is a dense building with the flavor of old Chongqing. What's more special is that it is located along the Yangtze River. It can attract the Yangtze River Cableway, Qianzaimen Bridge, and Raffles in one go. After Sanzi's younger brother Wang Junkai shot a magazine blockbuster here, it became even more popular here.

The red carriage moves slowly in the air along the cableway. The Raffles on the other side is in a strange and spectacular shape. The orange-red Qianzaimen Bridge echoes the color of the carriage, and the sunset casts a warm and beautiful filter on everything. The breeze is coming slowly, and I always feel that there is a warm power pouring in on the wind.

Okay, okay! Full of power!
(I didn't know it at this time, but this was the last sunset I saw before the end of this journey... The god of bad luck finally made a move on a delicate girl like me)

In addition to the platform on the first floor and the corridor on the 8th floor, there are actually many places in the White Elephant Residence worth visiting slowly. It is a microcosm of old Chongqing.

White Elephant House is not a traditional attraction, but a Chongqing residential building. It only became popular after many beautiful angles and views were discovered. The excavated angles are certainly beautiful, but don't forget to look up and look around. There are more scenery worth tasting.

The picture below can be regarded as one of the most classic positions here, and the first picture of this paragraph is in one piece. Tourists line up to check in, and it will be more difficult to release films when there is a parking car like this.

As a delicate girl, I still want to appear on the screen to represent that I have been here. Then when you look at the photos in the future, you will have a more sense of substitution and memories.
Traveling alone, I didn't bring a tripod considering my physical strength and convenience, but only brought an octopus. The photos I took during this trip were generally produced by a combination of passers-by helping me, fixed by an octopus, and controlled by a camera from a distance.

Walking around, while tasting the bricks and tiles of old Chongqing flavor, it is a surprise whenever I find a place suitable for me to take photos slowly.
Facing the direction of the Yangtze River, in fact, most of the corridor windows can see the Yangtze River cableway. Even closer, the carriages are bigger!

Residential buildings in the shape of stairs are densely packed, and Chongqing's life is everywhere.

Looking at neat buildings can effectively cure obsessive-compulsive disorder?

This is my exclusive photographer, Mr. Octopus.
I really worked hard to film myself...

The residential building opposite the White Elephant House is the location where the poster of "Hidden Corner" magazine is set.
The intertwined corridors and contradictory lives make me really sigh at the powerful ability of photographers to explore perspectives.

Looking to the opposite bank from the edge of the first-floor platform of White Elephant House, you can also see the golden Sheraton Hotel Building.
The recent hit drama "Wind Dog Teenager's Sky" was filmed on this first-floor platform.

Everything under the sunset is always very beautiful.
On the first day in Chongqing, I rushed here without stopping. It was really a wise decision!

Top floor of the Westin Hotel| Overlooking Chongqing from the city center

Is it okay to just stand high enough
you can find anyone.
----------

When I first entered the mountain city, I was both excited but also inexplicably depressed, which was more or less related to the fact that Chongqing was a city with dense high-rise buildings.
Then find a high place to look down and let yourself escape from depression! In the city center, the more famous places that can overlook Chongqing and are open to the public are the top floor of the Westin Hotel and the WFC Huixian Building.
I chose Westin to watch it (alas, it wasn't because WFC asked for money).

I originally planned to come and watch the night, but it was only 6 p.m. when I arrived at the top floor, and there was still a long time before the lights flashed.
Then watch this moment when the sun has set and the lights have not been turned on!
Looking down below, it seems that you can see everything clearly but not see anything. Everything becomes small and relaxed. No wonder the ancients liked to climb mountains and look far away, although they climbed mountains at that time, but I am climbing buildings now. Chongqing is still hot, but there are cool winds here, which is very comfortable!

Take the elevator from the hotel lobby to the lobby on the 51st floor for transfer, and then take the elevator on the 51st floor to the infinity pool on the 54th floor. The viewing point is here. You can also go up on the 55th floor. You can take pictures of the swimming pool on the 54th floor from the 55th floor, but the swimming pool requires an appointment for afternoon tea to be used.

The infinity pool is located in an open area of the hotel, so you can go and visit it even if you don't check in, spend or make reservations.
But of course, after all, this is not a real attraction, so it is better to enjoy it silently and not disturb the normal operation of the hotel.

hongya cave| The adventure of leaving the lights on at night??

Bailong escaped from the other world with Chihiro
Finally, I ran to Hongya Cave
--------------
After dinner, I arrived at Hongya Cave. It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening.
After entering from the rooftop road, I briefly looked at the internal shops, and walked from the 11th floor to the 1st floor (there were too many people in the elevator to get up), looking forward to the Hongya Cave, which had already blown up the major platforms. Beautiful exterior lighting.
Finally we reached the exit on the first floor and looked up!
？？？
I feel something is wrong, okay?

Have you seen Hongya Cave with no lights on at night?!
There is also Qianzaimen Bridge opposite with no lights on!!
At this time, Hongya Cave should have been brightly lit. I suddenly thought, maybe there was a problem with the lighting after the flood?
It was past 9 o'clock in the evening when I left, and the lights were always like this...
No matter what the reason, I! Really! We met! Hongya Cave without lights on!!!

Originally, I had written down several places on the Internet to watch the lights of Hongya Cave and Qianzamen Bridge, but they were no longer useful.

At the bottom of Hongya Cave, traces of flood still show its past existence.

I didn't see Hongya Cave with the lights on, and I always felt like something was missing. I was so angry! Just buy some snacks and pack them back to the B & B.

I am here, and it would be a pity if I didn't see the lit Hongya Cave. On the last night of the journey, carrying my small camera, I ran to Hongya Cave again!
This time, finally! The moment the lights came on, it seemed like this place had become another world. The bright lights outline the dream of Hongya Cave

This shocking world of lights makes me extremely glad I didn't miss it.

The easiest location to light Hongya Cave is on the opposite road from Hongya Cave.
It's nice but it's really crowded with people.

To see the panoramic view of Hongya Cave, don't forget to walk to the Qianzaimen Bridge, which is beautiful from another angle.

There are a total of 11 floors in Hongya Cave.
There are specialty shops on the 1st to 3rd floors. In fact, I don't think I can shop here. The prices of the shops will be inflated, and things can be bought elsewhere.
4th floor, Bayu B & B Food Street
5th to 8th floors, Hongyadong Hotel (the fifth floor is open to a block similar to the 1980s, where you can take photos)
9th to 10th floors, exotic food street
The 11th floor, this floor is the road, from here you can walk to the Qianzamen Bridge

The bright lights inject a new charm into Chongqing's evenings.
Actually, I don't really like tourist cities where people come and go, but

Sleep with the lights of thousands of homes, looking forward to a better tomorrow.

Take 2 ·Fairy Qi Chongqing·Outdoor Chapter

When it comes to the first impression of Chongqing, most of the things that come to mind are the booming hot pot and the strange mountain city buildings. These are full of fireworks, but the surrounding Wulong is another scenery. It is no exaggeration to say, the fairy spirit is ethereal!

xiannushan| It's time for me to go back to my hometown

Go to the other side of the road
Can we find the gods?
----------------

When I opened the weather forecast in the morning, I saw that there was no rain in Chongqing today. I was secretly happy when I moved the location to Wulong and saw that dark clouds seemed to be holding back a big one.
I booked a one-day tour in advance, but now I can't go back on it. Let's go! Maybe the dark clouds will be scared away by my momentum?

There are a total of 4 group members in the one-day group. In addition to me, they are a young couple from Xi'an and a local girl from Chongqing.
I have signed up for this kind of one-day group before, but the feeling this time is very different. In the past, when traveling with friends, even small groups would not chat much with their group members. They would either chat with friends or shut up on their mobile phones. This time, probably because I was the only one, I couldn't wait to export to the outside world. Fortunately, the group members were also talkative and chatted all over the place. Everyone became familiar with it along the way (if necessary, I would have a human tripod).
The tour guide also lamented: It is rare to meet group members who can chat all the time without sleeping in the car. Hahaha
This is probably the charm of traveling alone, allowing people to focus more on the people and scenery they encounter rather than indulge in their own small world.

Passing Wujiang Gallery on the way, I stopped to take a look at the scenery.

In fact, the location included in the Wujiang Gallery is very large. As long as it is along the Wujiang River, there are multiple viewing platforms along the road. But the weather was not very good that day and the fog was very heavy. We took a few quick glances, blew in the wind, took photos, and then went back to the car to continue on our journey.

Since starting this morning, after a 4-hour drive, I! A delicate little fairy! Finally! Here we are at Fairy Mountain!!
You can take a small sightseeing train in Xiannv Mountain, which will cycle at several sightseeing stations.
My group members and I first went to the prairie. Before officially walking to the grassland, we needed to walk a short plank road, dome wooden houses and tall woods. The scenery along the way made me excited.

Although Fairy Mountain is called a mountain, it is actually not steep, but an alpine grassland. In winter, it is covered with snow. It is a rare forest, sea and snow field in the south and is known as the Eastern Switzerland. Chongqing's stoves are extremely hot in summer. When we reach Xiannv Mountain in the suburbs, it immediately cools down. It can be called a summer resort. The driver asked us repeatedly to remember to bring coats.

I officially walked to the entrance of the grassland and was greeted by the person!
Storm and smoke filled the air...

After waiting in place for a few minutes, I found that the rain had no intention of weakening at all, but was becoming more and more energetic. My group members and I could only walk back to the station dejectedly, at least we could shelter the wind and rain.

I waited at the site for about half an hour, and the rain began to weaken, but it was still not playable.

Okay, give up the prairie.
The disadvantage of a one-day tour is that the time is relatively tight and you must follow the specified time. Today's plan also includes Tiansheng Three Bridges. Xiannv Mountain is actually only more than an hour to visit, and the Prairie is only the first sightseeing spot on Xiannv Mountain.
As a last resort, we got on the small train and continued moving forward. We planned to observe the rain while sitting, and get off and play if we were almost better.

I am looking forward to seeing Fairy Mountain. In addition to the prairie, there is also the Fairy Highway.
The Fairy Highway is near the Racecourse Station. When the small train drove there, we found that the sky was actually bright!!!

Although it still looks a little gray this way, it is already very good compared to the previous heavy rain when I couldn't walk.

How can the Xiannu Mountain, which I have come to after so much effort, leave only memories of the torrential rain? Go! Let's get off!

At this time, the location was already in the heart of Fairy Mountain, with horses, cattle and cattle wandering everywhere, surrounded by either grassland and deep forests or highways.
You can always smell the smell of hot pot in downtown Chongqing, but what you smell here is the fresh aroma of earth.
Accompanied by the fresh air after the rain, I finally swept away my previous loss and ran and jumped in this almost deserted green world. I was so happy!

I think I actually still like this sparsely populated natural world best, and suddenly I want to make a wish for myself to retire in such a place! Although I still have a lot on my retirement wish list.
Uh... Better work hard! For a better retirement!

There is green in front of me, and my head is also dyed green. If I want to live a good life, I must wear some green on my body.

Except for walking back about 300 meters from the Racecourse Station, we finally reached this elf road.

In recent years, highway check-in has become popular, but this not only hinders traffic, but is also a very dangerous thing. You can safely shoot this elf road! Because there are no foreign cars at all, only occasionally small sightseeing trains from the scenic spot pass by.
Between the forests and grasslands, there is a winding fantasy road that seems to lead to another world.

Shooting crazily, and then reluctantly leaving it.
According to the planned departure time, I have to leave now. There are still many places I want to go but it is too late, leaving behind regrets.

This is a trip to Fairy Mountain without sunshine, but it still makes me fall in love with it. The regret exists just to make up for it, so I decided to find a good sunny time to visit again in the future. This time, I will stay nearby and enjoy everything here leisurely.

We returned to the car. At the last moment of leaving, suddenly, sunlight appeared that had not appeared all morning.
The sun is scattered on the grassland, cattle and sheep are walking happily, and the woods in the distance are dense. Are there any little fairies in the forest who are ashamed to show their faces?
This beam of sunshine is probably a farewell gift from the little fairy from Fairy Mountain.

tiansheng sanqiao| Sword Immortal seclusion

Tourists are busy marvel at the beautiful scenery
But I didn't know that the sword immortal was flying on his sword in the sky
----------------
Chongqing is a city with a great sense of movies, and indeed many movies and TV series are filmed here. But if it comes to the same place that is photographed the most times, it must be Wulong's Natural Three Bridges.

Coming from the rainstorm Xiannu Mountain to Tiansheng Sanqiao, not only did the rain stop, but there was also a little sunshine, and my mood became brighter with the sunshine.

Tiansheng Sanqiao is a typical karst landform. It is rare and pure nature to create three adjacent stone arch bridges, hence the name Tiansheng Sanqiao.

There are karst caves on the cliffs on both sides, and water gushed out from high places, and every place is just right.

Tiansheng Sanqiao is the location of movies such as "Three Lives of Peach Blossom" and "Transformers". However, what has a greater impact here is that Zhang Yimou built an antique station here in order to film "The City Is Full of Golden Armor". Tianguan Fuyi.
In the deep mountains and in the unique landform, an ancient station is hidden deep, filling the mystery and the atmosphere of the Jianghu, creating a shocking effect like the finishing touch.

Walking down the stairs on the edge, I gradually approached Tianguanfuyi. It was obviously the same scene, but it made me keep picking up the camera. I really wanted to leave all the different angles here and take one more photo so that I can reminisce in the future. There will be more memories.

This place is really suitable for wearing ancient costumes to play and immerse yourself in this immortal world.
This time, I didn't have so many "big dragons and dragons" for convenience, so I'll leave a chance to satisfy myself next time!

Walking to Tianguan Fuyi, it is actually not big, just the size of a courtyard house.
Most of the houses have been sealed up, mainly to check the appearance.

The moss on the eaves is also a perfect match for the environment.
From color to distribution, it's just right, I love it so much!

Get out of Tianguanfuyi and continue to the next "bridge" of Tiansheng Third Bridge. There are cliffs all around, and people always feel small in them.

The bridge hole behind it is shaped like a large knife. It is said that such a photo must be taken.

uh... For this type of photo, I was so embarrassed that I dug out two rooms and one living room.

Occasionally, a karst cave that can accommodate one person can enter appears on the cliff. What is inside? Maybe it is a martial arts secret left by a martial arts hero, or maybe it is the daily residence of sword immortals. I couldn't go inside and explore, but I left countless thoughts behind.

I regret that the staff here have excellent aesthetics, and the artificial bridges still fit the environment and will not make people show off.

As we were about to reach the exit, light emerged from the hole. This scene let me know that the adventure here was about to come to an end.

After leaving Tiansheng Sanqiao, today's trip has come to an end.
Let's go! Go back to the city to eat and drink spicy food!

Take 3 ·Small crowd Chongqing·Nan 'an District

Compared with Yuzhong District, which is densely populated with popular attractions, the area around Nan 'an District is quite deserted.
Nan 'an District is an area where Chongqing has developed rapidly in recent years. Here, you can easily enjoy the spectacular scenery of the confluence of the Three Rivers, and you can find the rare port culture left behind in Chongqing, but also Chongqing's authentic tube-building architectural culture.
After all, the famous scenic spot here is Nanshan Tree, but I visited it a few years ago when I first visited Chongqing. It was during the National Day holiday and it took several hours to get to my destination. I really didn't want to try again. Therefore, this visit to Nan 'an District will focus on niche attractions!

nanbin road| Crossing the sea, in order to take a photo with you

No one else, the Raffles here belong to me alone
--------------------

Living in Yuzhong District, I want to go to Nan 'an District. There is a very convenient and fun way of transportation and take the nostalgic ferry! The Nostalgia Ferry departs from the ports around Raffles and crosses the Yangtze River to the other side. You can use it to see the river scenery on both sides of the river. It is also cost-effective, only 5 yuan.
Then, the nostalgic ferry was still suspended due to previous floods and died.

I remembered a saying: Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on such people. We must first work on their bones and starve their skin.
Sure enough, because I am the chosen child, do you want to test me first?!

I smiled lightly, with two points of ridicule, three points of coolness and five points of carelessness, that's it?
Although you can't get on the nostalgic ferry, it's very convenient to take a taxi anywhere in a modern city. With my mobile phone in hand, I have it in the world!
Arriving at Nanbin Road, some roads along the river still have traces of flooding.

Looking at the Sheraton Building up close, it is obviously golden and easy to be tacky, but in Chongqing it has a lot of story.

From the entrance near Changjiahui Bell Tower Square, walk to the riverside trail. This is not an attraction itself, but you can see Chongqing's landmark Raffles without blocking.

hello~! Chongqing!!

In fact, based on my clarity on the river today, it would be better to see the night view at night.
But there are usually very few people here. Alas, for a delicate girl like me, it's unsafe to stay alone in a remote place too late, so I can only come here early for a stroll.
But then again, if he hadn't come alone, his companions might not like such a place, and perhaps he wouldn't have come directly. For example, in the past, I arranged more tours with my parents, but this is really not a suitable place to take them.

It is impossible to get everything you want in the world, but believe that your choice is the best arrangement.

Look, I had a great time taking a photo with Raffles alone.

Mobile phone remote control, hidden merit and reputation

I had seen enough filming. When I wanted to leave, I found that the exit in front of me was covered with mud.

Me: ???
Take a deep breath and silently say: Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on these people. We must first work on their muscles and bones and starve their skin...

tube-shaped apartments| It used to be full of fireworks, but now...

Each floor has a story, forming its own boundary
Only by breaking through them and finding the top exit can we return to the present
--------------------

The long corridor is ventilated at both ends and shaped like tubes, so it is called a "tube-shaped building". This is one of the places where four-character brother Yi Shou Qianxi and little yellow duck Zhou Dongyu most often appear in the movie "Young You".

In the past, tube-shaped buildings were full of lively life. The couple on the fourth floor quarreled and the children on the fifth floor cried. These sounds would all be heard in the corridor. There are only a few neighborhoods left in the tube-shaped building today. Although it is located on the rapidly developing Nanbin Road, it has a different calmness and has become a witness of the years.

With staggered stairs, symmetrical building structure, and becoming a movie setting site, many people still come here to check in.

Navigating the Haitang Creek tube building took me to the vicinity of here. Then I couldn't find the entrance. In the end, I still had to ask passers-by for directions. Find the good neighbor supermarket, walk in from the right side of the supermarket and you will find the entrance. This door is the entrance.
If you have read "Young You", this door should be very familiar.

There wasn't enough light in the corridor. I said to myself: Be strong. It's not that it's not light enough. It's called an emotional blockbuster.

yingzi Old Street| Flying elk is my favorite egg

Remember to always look up here, you may see elk jumping
----------------
Chongqing's characteristic architectural culture and mountain city characteristics are well known, but the port opening culture clearly has a strong presence in Chongqing's history, but is little known. Danzishi Old Street can be regarded as a concentrated gathering place for Chongqing's port opening culture.
When I came here, I felt a little familiar. I took out my mobile phone and asked a friend who took me on my first tour of Chongqing a few years ago. I found out that we lived nearby at the time... At that time, we directly ignored Danzishi Old Street. Uh... This can also be regarded as my fate with Danzishi Lao Street!

Danzishi Old Street is located on Nanbin Road, known as the Bund of Chongqing, presenting Chongqing's century-old history from "passive opening" in 1891 to "active development". This is probably the reason why although this place was only opened for 18 years, it is called an "old street"!

After Chongqing was opened as a port, foreigners entered, and Christians were the first to enter and build churches here. The current Yide Hall in Danzishi Old Street was rebuilt on the original site. It integrates Gothic architectural style with the needs of modern architecture, and its painted windows are bright and gorgeous.

It is also worth mentioning that on the roof of the entire Danzishi Old Street, statues of elk standing or jumping from time to time appear, which are lifelike. It's easy to miss if you don't look up! These elk statues are all wrapped around light lines, and they are bright and gorgeous when the lights are on at night.
There are no guides to tell visitors about the existence of these elk. They are like a hidden egg, but if you like it here, you will find it.

Starbucks decoration has always understood local conditions. The Sunjia Garden in the picture below is actually a garden-style Starbucks.

Danzishi Old Street is backed by Tushan. Tushan Kiln was one of the folk kilns in the Song Dynasty in China. A variety of crafts are used here to show scenes such as pottery making and kiln entry, making people immersive in this history.

Danzishi Old Street is a gathering place for opening the port culture. It has both a retro stage and many interesting shops and decorations from the new era. I spend most of my time here today.

The world is so big, let's try it? You hit my laugh point hahahaha

At first glance, what kind of monster is this with human feet and fish bodies?!?

As night fell, the Danzi Stone entered the night sky of fire and silver flowers, officially showing its brilliance to tourists.

This is the handmade paper shop "Dongba Paper Workshop". The paper sold is made of ancient Naxi crafts. The paper is wear-resistant and is known as "anti-corruption for thousands of years". What I especially want to say is that the decoration of the store is very beautiful!

Here is the best shooting point at the intersection of the two rivers, known as the "Chongqing Balcony". You can have a panoramic view of Jiangbeizui and Jiefangbei Chaotianmen on the other side. Moreover, he was very knowledgeable and built a pool on the edge to facilitate tourists to take photos of their reflections.

Elk at night is more difficult to find than in the morning, but it is also more beautiful.

The elk twinkles and jumps in the night sky, dreamy and charming.
I love it, I love it!

Take 4 ·Nostalgia in Chongqing and Yuzhong District

When I was a child, I would follow a tour group. I went from one attraction to another every day. Sometimes I didn't know what the characteristics of that place were after going to a place. When traveling now, I really like to see what those places used to be and what they really looked like. You don't have to have flowers everywhere, the classic old flavor can be more intoxicating.

kuixing building| Ancient buildings integrated into modern residential buildings

"Hello? Can you hear me?
I traveled here with this ancient building!"
--------------

In old stories, Kuixing was a god who dominated the rise and fall of articles. Confucian scholars believed in Kuixing God very much and built Kuixing Tower.
The Kuixing Tower currently located in Chongqing is an antique building built in 1991. People no longer come here to worship God, but more for daily transportation, walking and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Multiple shooting locations of "Teenager You" are in Kuixing Building, which really makes this old building an Internet celebrity.

There are two suspended flyovers built between Kuixing Tower Square and the office building next door to facilitate people's daily walking. If you are going to Hongyadong on Linjiang Road, but don't want to walk from the 11th floor to the 1st floor, take the elevator of Kuixing Tower to the 1st floor. On the first floor, you can take Jialing River Binjiang Road! This is the way that navigation will not tell you, but local people in Chongqing know it.


One feature of old houses in Chongqing is that pedestrian corridors are built between residential corridors. On the suspended overpass of Kuixing Tower, it is a good place to view this kind of surrounding buildings.

The first floor of Kuixing Building is the location of the poster "You of Teenager"

But in fact... There are often cars parked in the corridor that could be two cars wide side by side. It takes patience and luck to shoot the same poster as Yi Shou Qian Xi.

As night fell, night lights in the modern high-rise buildings around Kuixing Tower turned on, leaving only the antique Kuixing Tower to remain dark. This Kuixing Tower was cold. At the same time, residents began to come out for walks and dances in Kuixing Tower Square. It was very lively. This Kuixing Tower was hot again. Contradictions and conflicts are the characteristics of Kuixing Tower.

Wuming Jiushu Store| An antique praised by the People's Daily?

I always feel that if I accidentally touch the mechanism, these books will fly!
----------------------

Chongqing is a nostalgic city with many treasure shops for retro and second-hand goods. Among them, Zhongxing Road Used Bookstore, which has been published in People's Daily, is the most famous.
A bookstore is not only a place to buy books, but also a spiritual world. Different bookstores have different temperaments, giving readers a different reading experience. So, what is the temperament of this bookstore?
I think it is the original intention of persistence but not stubbornness.

This bookstore has no big background. It was opened by an old man who would feel it a pity when he saw good books being sold as waste paper.
In fact, the owner, Lao Wang, opened this bookstore just to support his family. While guarding the store, he used to opening a book and reading a few pages slowly. Gradually, he also fell in love with reading. But at the same time, he would not treat books as fragile items and would not allow readers to read them like some bookstores do now. He hopes that readers can find books as they please and find the one that satisfies them, which is the fate between readers and books.

The area here is less than ten square meters, but there are tens of thousands of old books that are not easy to find in other places. The placement of the books is quite in line with the current aesthetics, thus attracting many people to take photos and check in.
In fact, I am also a very superficial person and come here to take photos. But when you really come here, you will feel the owner's intention and love for books from all aspects. I think this is the most touching place in this bookstore.

Day after day, year after year, Lao Wang basically stays in this shop of less than 10 square meters except for the holidays during the Chinese New Year and Spring Festival.
Since I was here, I stopped by to find some comic strips suitable for children and give them to my chubby niece! Lao Wang saw that I was looking seriously, so he came over to chat with me.
He said that in fact, he hoped that when everyone leaves here, they would not only bring beautiful photos, but also take away their favorite books. The power of books could follow everyone further.

Mountain City trail| The style of old Chongqing, with roads built against mountains

The sense of separation between old Chongqing and new Chongqing is vividly demonstrated here.
-------------------

As a mountain city in Chongqing, many roads used to be built against the mountains. On both sides of the upper and lower stairs, traditional workshops and restaurants wafted with fragrance. There are not many trails that still retain the style of old Chongqing, the most typical of which is the Shancheng Pedestrian Trail

The 1748-meter-long Shancheng Pedestrian Road connects historical attractions with unique flavor of old Chongqing such as the Anti-Construction Hall and the Bodhi King Kong Tower along the way. You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yuzhong Peninsula from the observation deck. The surrounding areas are decades-old houses. Residents leisurely enjoy the shade and play cards under the trees. The flavor of Chongqing's old city is heard everywhere.

Meomi casually rested aside, leisurely.

There are not many sections of the ancient city wall, but they are still holding their posts and guarding the mountain city.

It is a pity that although there are still a few old shops here, most of the shops have become jewelry stores and coffee shops for young people. Although I understand that this is inevitable, I still feel a bit strange.

Find this dilapidated building and move forward. It is said that you can find Ren Ai Tang.
But I didn't move forward any further. There was the smell of garbage around here... The delicate girl couldn't bear it anymore. Farewell!

Back on the side of the trail, some wall decorations are quite cute.

It should be noted that if it is a problem with the network in this area or if the map software cannot overcome such complex road conditions, it is easy to make mistakes or delay positioning when walking on the Shancheng Pedestrian Road according to the map software! Anyway, I was screwed!

Walking out of the mountain city walk, I was already hungry. But I have already planned lunch! Eat right!
Today is a nostalgic trip to Chongqing, so we arranged Zeng Laoyao Fish Restaurant, a time-honored Chongqing brand! It's delicious and authentic spicy, and I can't control my saliva!
When I went there, I found that the store was still closed due to the previous flood...
Me: ???

Okay, I have options! This family is not on the river. Floods cannot stop me at all!
Look! Delicious food is waving to me!

Me: ???
.... The chosen one is really going to go through more hardships..

light rail| Internet celebrity Chongqing can even shoot transportation vehicles

Like many people I've met
It seems to be going hand in hand, but it runs counter to each other.
Encounter is temporary, separation is the norm
----------------

Under the influence of Chongqing's mountain city characteristics, its light rail has also become the focus of long guns and short guns. I saw Li Ziba when I first went to Chongqing, but I won't brush it again this time.
Check out other light rail stations on the way that are easier to shoot!

[Niujiaotuo Station (Light Rail Lines 2 and 3)]
The light rails on the upper and lower floors are running staggered, which reminds people of a saying: they once crossed, but they are gradually moving away.

The parking spot is on the transfer channel of Lines 2 and 3. Just find the position in the figure below.

[Lianglukou Station]
The light rail extends from the angle under the overpass. At the top are the distant high-rise CBD buildings, and in the middle is the overpass, which is full of traffic, which is very layered.

While taking photos here, I met two tourists who were also visiting Chongqing. Speaking of where to go next, everyone hit it off and planned to go to the nearby place known as Chongqing's last hanging tower!
At this time, I didn't know that the gear of bad luck started slowly from this decision.

From Diaojiao Tower to Police Station| Chongqing Alternative In-depth Tour

I took a taxi to the address of the Diaojiao Tower posted online. The wet ground and soil gave me a faint premonition of unpredictability.

Sure enough, due to the previous flood, even the entrance was sealed, and a group of people dressed in black guarded the entrance.
He didn't give up and went over to ask if this penthouse was nearby.
However, the co-management personnel were not very clear, but said that if the suspension tower was inside, it must have been destroyed after the flood crossed the border.

Coming with your heart's content and leaving directly is always frustrating. The two tourists who came together were also quite helpless. One of them, Tourist A had an idea and took out a small plane from his backpack and asked the assistant if it would be used. After the assistant manager agreed, we seemed to have survived! Although we can't go in and have a look, maybe the penthouse has not been destroyed?! Use a small plane to take a look, and that will be the last chance!

Tourist A checked the no-fly area in DJI and said that this location could fly, so he started his performance in front of everyone. Tourist B and I were also looking forward to it with great enthusiasm.
When the small plane flew about 5 meters, two aunts in civilian clothes rushed over and shouted, What department are you from? Stop it!
Tourist A felt very confused after hearing this, but also began to land the plane slowly.

Then an uncle in a blue police uniform rushed out and shouted in Chongqing, What department are you from? Who's up there?
At this time, our minds are full of question marks? Are drones only available to people in the department now?
It's not a department, it's just a petty citizen, so it can only be said to be ordinary citizens, and GJZX is above it.

This uncle has always only spoken Chongqing dialect. To be honest, he actually can't quite understand what he is saying. He can only barely understand one or two words every time he communicates. He ignored him when he asked him to use Mandarin and only said that we should not leave.
Then I asked, how long will that last? The uncle was still hemming.
After waiting for about 15 minutes, we asked again and began to press for the results (at that time, we thought that if we met bad people, we might be intimidated and thought we were not easy to bully), but there was still no result.
At this time, we began to panic. We are unfamiliar with this place, and there are more than ten people on the other side. Have we met a bad person?? News of bad guys pretending to be police officers to commit crimes came to my mind before. Tourist B began to take out his mobile phone to record the video. He was also afraid that he would have to leave evidence behind. If this person was really wearing a police uniform, he would not be afraid of these things.

However, things were heading in a terrible direction. When the uncle saw the mobile phone video, he immediately began to panic, and his whole person exploded and refused to let us take it! And have someone come and watch over us?!!
Holy shit?!? Did we really meet a bad person?!?! At this time, I said, I want to call the police! This uncle became even more panicked! It's no use calling the police just shouting at us!!
God, he's afraid of calling the police!! This is really a fake policeman!!!

Conflict and tension filled the air. After about 20 minutes of arguing, more people wearing police uniforms and driving police cars came and said that they had checked that this place could not fly drones. At this time, we felt at ease. So the previous one was really the police??

Later, the police comrades drove us to a nearby police station to criticize and educate us. Only then did we roughly understand that there might be some misunderstanding ahead. The police uncle asked us to stay because he wanted to check whether this location could fly drones. He said it would be useless to call the police because he was a police officer...

Looking back on this incident, I gained some very strange experiences and share them with you:
1. The drone no-fly area in DJI is incomplete and cannot be trusted in all its aspects.
2. No matter who you ask if you can fly, it is useless, because the other party may not really know.
3. Check for local flight regulations and laws before flying, and use them as the basis
4. If you suspect that the police are not real, you can call the police station to inquire with the police number

Many people have been to Chongqing's scenic spots, but I believe not many people have been to Chongqing's police stations!
And I, the chosen one, successfully checked in to the Chongqing Police Station!

When I was lying in bed at night and thought about how I, a person who had not even bought a drone, got into the police station because of a drone, I suddenly felt baffled.
If I hadn't gone to see the penthouse with tourist AB, if the assistant manager didn't agree to let the small plane go, if the no-fly area in DJI was not blocked, if anyone stopped the small plane during the preparations for takeoff, as long as any of the links here were achieved, today's weird trip to the police station would not have occurred.

Sure enough, it was because... The constitution of my chosen one...

Take 5 ·Goodbye to Chongqing·Old and New Internet celebrities

This is the last day in Chongqing. I didn't expect that my first solo trip would come to an end. It was a little different from the past, but it didn't seem to be different.

In the past few days, I have carried my little camera through many places in Chongqing. On the last day, let's go to two very different places! Chongqing's classic old landmark, Chongqing People's Auditorium, and the emerging Internet celebrity bookstore Zhong Shuge.

Chongqing people's auditorium| Old Internet celebrity: Young people don't talk about martial arts

Places outside the plan may be the places with the most surprises.
--------------
When arranging my trip to Chongqing, I hardly saw any recommendations for this place. But a local friend told me that this place was very beautiful and I had to go, so I went there.

The Chongqing People's Auditorium was built in the 1950s. It is a masterpiece of clever combination of traditional Chinese palace architectural style and the long-span structure of Western architecture. It has always been one of Chongqing's landmark buildings. Large-scale gatherings and performances in Chongqing are often held here.
Hmm? Such an important place, why are there almost no recommendations on the Internet?
I wondered, this might be because this place belongs to the "previous generation of Internet celebrities". On the Internet, its figure is covered by modern Internet celebrities and cannot be seen without removing the fog above.

The auditorium mainly adopts the architectural characteristics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The traditional central axis is symmetrical. In appearance, it imitates the Hall of Prayer for Good Year at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, and has the meaning of praying for "peace of the country and peace of the people." There is a row of exquisite gate buildings directly in front of the main building, which looks like Beijing's Tiananmen Gate Tower, so it is called "Little Tiananmen".
What I like most is its color matching. Green glazed tiles with orange-red pillars are still very prominent even if I have been in a gray and rainy day!

With its beautiful architectural design, the auditorium has long gone abroad and was selected into the "History of World Architecture" compiled by the Royal Architectural Society and the University of London.

This is the place outside my schedule and the place that surprises me the most.
In the past, I always tried to make the most detailed and comprehensive plans before every trip. Although I made preparations in advance for this solo trip to Chongqing, many of the itineraries were decided almost the day before. I was suddenly surprised. What is the difference here?

That's right, I'm the only one leaving this time. I only have to bear the responsibility for having fun or not. In the past, I always had companions on my travels. When I was responsible for arranging the trip, I was afraid that everyone would be unhappy because I didn't do it well, and I was afraid that it would disappoint people...
Emmm, this can be regarded as a kind of spur force. However, whether you travel alone or carefully plan your accompanying travel, as long as you can happily go out, it's great!

Zhong shuge| Inception MIX Monument Valley?

Where am I and which floor is real?
--------------

The name Zhong Shuge has really made a name in recent years. No matter where it is opened, it can always attract people to see what new design ideas it has this time. To join in the fun, I also went for a walk, but then I really wanted to praise Zhong Shuge's design.

Zhong Shuge's consistent practice is to open only one store in each city, and the store decoration combines urban characteristics. This Zhong Shuge in Chongqing is no exception. Use Monument Valley style stairs to create a layered sense of space and highlight the characteristics of the mountain city. Then use the mirror ceiling to create a mirror effect. What's more, the effects of the above two can be perfectly superimposed, making people feel as if they have stepped into a dreamy space of Inception.

aircraft delays| God's chosen son never fails

The journey finally came to an end, and the sunshine that had not been seen for many days finally quietly appeared in the sky when I was about to leave.
？？？
What, I don't deserve sunshine, do I?

Youyou sighed. Although she was still satisfied with Chongqing's delicious food and beautiful scenery, she had to sigh with her fatal luck. There were all kinds of strange situations during the trip, and even visited the local police station. Is this an alternative in-depth tour?
When I thought that this bad luck should go away with cloudy days, the red letter of "delay" on the screen made me feel that I was still too sweet.

It doesn't matter if you delay at all, just wait!
Then I waited for the notice of arranging accommodation???

The bus had just transported the passengers to nearby hotels to check in. After some trouble, it suddenly notified the flight time to be confirmed, so the bus drove the passengers back to the airport.
This ordeal lasted for a few hours, from arriving in Guangzhou at 8 pm when I picked every excellent choice, to arriving in Guangzhou at 12 am.
How can you highlight the temperament of the protagonist without suffering?!
Me! The chosen son will never fail!

--Epilogue--

Okay! This trip to Chongqing, my first solo trip, ended perfectly!
After experiencing it firsthand, if I want to compare traveling alone or traveling together, I can only say that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
If you travel alone, the overall itinerary will be more casual and you can pay more attention and investment to new people and scenery, but! No one helped me film myself!
If you travel together, you will inevitably accommodate each other, but it is very happy for everyone to chat together.

Although this trip to Chongqing is really a constant one, these special experiences will also become a part of life's precious memories
So, where should I go next?

- Trip guide-

The trip this time is relatively tight, and all the expenses add up to about 2000+.
