Ciqikou Ancient Town- Chongqing's Porcelain-Paved Time Capsule

#discoverchina

A 1,000-year-old riverside town on the Jialing River, Ciqikou (literally "Porcelain Port") was once a bustling ceramics trade hub during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Today, its narrow stone alleys, wooden stilt houses, and spicy street food make it Chongqing’s most iconic ancient town—a sensory overload of Sichuanese culture.

Hours: 24/7 (shops 9:00–22:00; go early to avoid crowds).
🚇Metro: Line 1 to Ciqikou Station, Exit 1 (10-min walk downhill).
