View 3 photos, or upload your photo.

This lively old area has been partly restored, and remains an authentic and busy community. The old wooden houses and narrow streets furthest from the river are mostly unimproved. Closer to the river there are craft and souvenir shops, teahouses and music, and lots of local food and snacks. The locals certainly love their food – this is a good chance to try some.

The theatre at the Hanging House/Hanging Village (the new shopping development, traditional style, up the cliff face by the river), is worth considering, depending on what’s on but there seem to be some very good shows

Ciqikou is good, a bit more ‘authentic’ than West Street in Yangshuo or Lijiang

Despite the touristy atmosphere, the town is still a nice place to escape the hustle and bustle of downtown Chongqing.
