Mountain City

Mountain City Lane is a place I love to visit. As you all know, I used to recommend everyone to go from Tongyuan Gate to Consulate Lane and then to Mountain City Lane, so that the whole journey is downhill. But today, I want to recommend a reverse route that avoids the crowds and allows you to explore the New Year atmosphere of Mountain City Lane in detail with a city walk, without having to get up early. Check-in route Jiaochangkou Exit 5 Mountain City Trail Entrance → Mountain City Lane Memory Museum Fanjing Tea Room Changle Teahouse Meow Courtyard Sky Lantern Rooftop Tixin Hall Red Wall → "This is Mountain City" Wall Love Lane → Mountain City Babbatea Jinma Temple Primary School Ren'ai Hall Wild Garden This route avoids the main road and goes through the alleys, so you can avoid the crowds and experience the alleys of Chongqing. There are check-in points all along the way, and it's a great place to take photos. The detailed route from Jiaochangkou Subway to Mountain City Memory Museum is on the last page. Sky Lantern Rooftop The highest point of Mountain City Lane, you can overlook the Yangtze River and look down on the alleys. Love Lane A great alley for photos, with a red heart inside, don't miss the air-raid shelter. There are several air-raid shelters in Mountain City Lane that are worth exploring, where you can experience these historical relics and learn about the stories behind them. Changle Old Teahouse Republic of China retro style, you can drink tea and watch performances. Mountain City Babbatea An open-air teahouse, experience the relaxation of old Chongqing. This is Mountain City. Since you're here, it's not too much to check in before you leave. Tixin Hall Red Wall Who can resist the charm of the red wall? Secret Tips It's easy to lose your sense of direction when walking through the alleys. The points along the way are not far apart, so just follow them one by one and you won't go wrong. If you have the stamina, you can continue to walk up to Consulate Lane and then to Tongyuan Gate to see the old city walls and gates of Chongqing. The story behind the nine open and eight closed gates of Chongqing is worth exploring. The Sky Lantern Festival will be held in Mountain City Lane next week, with many activities, so hurry up!
