The old street in Chongqing is so photogenic, I'd better hurry while it's not crowded

I've been to Chongqing three times this year, and each time I make sure to visit Longmenhao Old Street. As an outsider, I find it particularly characteristic of a mountain city. This month I went to Chongqing again and discovered that right next to Longmenhao, a new old street area, Xiaohao Li, had opened up, and it's really super photogenic. Xiaohao Li is still preparing many of its shops, but some coffee shops, bookstores, tea houses, etc., have already opened, and they're quite tasteful, matching the surrounding environment and very photogenic. And because it's new, there are hardly any people on weekdays, so you can take pictures however you want. The area also preserves some of the old sites of consulates, paired with the mountain city's characteristic streets and alleys, offering a sense of age with different styles. Walking up and down, stopping here and there, I found many beautiful corners. The hottest photo spot is down from the Immigration Bureau opposite Xiaohao Li, marked clearly, where you can capture a panoramic view of the shops across (see picture two). I suggest coming in the evening to watch the sunset over the river, leisurely stroll around, have a coffee, and when night falls, you can capture the moment the old street lights up. The warm yellow light spills out from under the eaves, making the whole hillside dazzling and atmospheric. When it gets dark, you can also visit the nearby Longmenhao Old Street to see the beautiful night view of Dongshuimen Bridge and the Yuzhong Peninsula. Transportation: Get out at Exit 1 of Xinsheng Street on Line 6, walk a few steps and you'll see the photo spot shown in picture one, just go up from there. I am Yi Lan, a travel-loving photographer. Join me to explore fun and beautiful new places to love❤️.
