Longmenhaolao Street

Visitors who like the mountain city of Longmen Hao Old Street recommend going to Longmen Hao Old Street. The transportation is convenient, the subway crosses the Yangtze River, the scenery is excellent, and the first stop of the Yangtze River Bridge is here. The entire old street is divided into two parts. The subway is surrounded by buildings in the Republic of China, and the place where the officials and dignitaries gather. The building is built on the hillside, I personally like it very much. The other half is a newly developed antique street, eating, drinking and strolling.

Many places in Chongqing are taken according to the characteristics of landform, such as Ping, Ba, Po, Bay, Rock, Kan and so on. Some of the landform names are unique to Chongqing, and foreigners often don't understand their meanings. The most famous is Longmenhao, and the Shanghao and Xiahao, which was introduced by Longmenhao. Hao originally meant the vast water. But what Chongqing people say about Hao refers to the waters separated by meteorites on the riverside. If the river is often wide, then Hao is a long and often not wide water. Longmen Hao in the south bank of the Yangtze River, a few kilometers of meteorite from Wachang Bay to Wildcat Creek, the middle somehow was stopped waist truncated, forming a Haokou. Haoli water is flat, the waves are not surprised, in addition to the particularly dry water level, the water is also deep, suitable for stopping the boat. When the bright moon rises on the Tu Mountain, it reflects in Haozhong, so the beautiful scenery of "Longmen Haoyue" has become one of the eight beautiful scenery of ancient Bayan. Longmenhao is facing Tai'anmen in the ancient city of Chongqing. Tai'anmen was originally closed. In the 1920s, the traffic to the south bank was demolished. Since Tai'anmen is facing Longmenhao, people call it Wanglongmen. So, the name of Tai'anmen, which is south and north, was buried in the dust of history.

On the south bank of the river thousands of years ago, there was a lack of a section in the middle of the stone beam like a door. The ancients called "Longmen". The stone beam naturally formed a wide lake in the bay, which the dialect called "Hao". During the Shaoxing period of the Song Dynasty, some people engraved the word "Longmen" on it, and "Longmen Hao" was named after it. Longmen Hao Lao Street integrates "Kaiyu culture" and "Anti-Japanese culture", and "Bayan culture" adds local colors to the old street. Longmenhao is backed by Nanshan, right next to the Yangtze River East Water Gate Bridge, left with Dongyuan 1891 business district, facing the Yangtze River, and seeing the "vehicles" of Chongqing's unique Yangtze River cableway, and hearing the rumbling of the light rail crossing the bridge. When you come here, it can be said that the grand scenery of Chongqing will be panoramic, bringing you a full range of experiences such as body, heart, eyes, nose, mouth, ears. At the beginning of the month, you can also feel the "Longmen Haoyue", one of the eighteen scenes of Bayan, and take advantage of the moonlight and the old time to have a cross-style dialogue. Photographers can also play a time-lapse photography, recording every moment on the first light. The famous "Longmen Yuyue", legend has that Longmen Hao is on the riverside, whenever the moon is empty, the light boat on the river will be moored in the harbor, the fishermen lit a fire candle under the moonlight, and the orange sparkle from afar is very poetic. Through the Longmen Yueyue, come to Fumen, and there are more street views with obvious styles. Regarding Longmen Hao Old Street, there are many highlights worth exploring. I went to the Huguang Assembly Hall on the other side of the East Watergate Bridge from Longmen Hao Old Street. On the bridge, I overlooked the whole view of the old street and the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River.

The mountains are surrounded by water, Baichuan returns to the sea, the river and the mountain belt, endless, the old street and the old alley Longmenhao is between this mountain and the water, located in the living room of Chongqing, the Nanbin landscape belt. Neighborly, rolling the Yangtze River; Yi, youyou Danan Mountain; Yu, the ancient city of Zhangzhoufu for thousands of years; It is the most famous literary man in Chongqing, the art of drawing ink, singing poetry, and the music of the style and elegance, and it is also a cultural highland integrating piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, poetry and song, performance exhibition, and excellent traditional culture. Longmen Hao has the distinction of Shanghao and Xiahao, and the street also has the distinction of Shanghao Street and Xiahao Street. In the old days, because Tai'anmen was closed, I went out of Chongqing City to the south bank, and I could only take the East Water Gate. The opposite of East Water Gate is Xiahao. In the early Qing Dynasty, Xiahao had formed a street, from the riverside to the foot of Tushan. Qingshuixi ran down from Nanshan, dividing Xiahao Street into two half-side streets, and then injected into the Yangtze River. At that time, the water quality of Qingshuixi was very good, and someone opened a powder room in Xiahao, and used the water of Qingshuixi as a fan, but it was very red. Later, the door was closed and it was much more convenient to go to the south bank to see the dragon gate. Shanghao also began to come in red. After the war of resistance began, the population of Chongqing soared, and Shanghao was expanded, so there was the name of Shang and Xiaxin Street. These two streets were later combined, called Shangxin Street. The road signs of the old street seem simple, in fact, the ladders and steps here are intricate, and most people can't tell the direction! There is no crowding, only sparse tourists. Longmen Hao Street is different from other old streets.

Longmen Hao Lao Street is located in the core area of Chongqing's main city, the middle section of Nanbin Road, covering more than 300 mu, a total of 180,000 square meters, with a long history, the above-mentioned millennium, and many relics. The historical and cultural neighborhoods are composed of more than 200 buildings of different periods, including 18 excellent historical and cultural relics. It is the most intact and largest historical and cultural old street in the main city of Chongqing. Kaixuan culture, anti-Japanese war culture, Bayan culture, religious culture are colorful here, and the old street is the location of "Longmen Haoyue", one of the twelve scenes of Cuba. On the south bank of the Yangtze River thousands of years ago, there is a broken place in the middle of the stone beam (Guanyin beam) like a door, and a wide lake is naturally formed in the stone beam, which is called "Hao" in dialect. The three fathers and sons of Chunsu in the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1056), from Jiazhou to Beijing by boat to Gongzhou (Chongqing), I was shocked to see that a huge stone beam in the south bank of the Yangtze River was split by a skillful work, which could allow ships to enter and exit the gap between the two male distances like the leading boulders. So the boatman sailed into Hao. Su's father and son stopped the boat and took a walk to visit the shore. Seeing this small village on the edge of the Yangtze River called "Jiangkou", surrounded by beautiful water, elegant and beautiful, the city is prosperous, the fields are Fengmao, the sound of Chaimen books, and the folk customs are simple. I like it very much. Su Shi looks at the topography and appearance to the small village. The name "Longmen Hao" And with a unique characteristic of the grass, the old xian Su Yu's title wrote "Longmen Hao" engraved on the ferry high shore, "Longmen Hao" since the name.
