Ciqikou Old Town

Ciqikou Old Town offers a glimpse of the peaceful laid-back life in the Sichuan countryside and is somewhere to take a break from the busy commercial world of Chongqing today.
Ciqikou Old Town (Chinese: 瓷器口; pinyin: Cíqì Kǒu) is an old town preserved in sprawling modern Chongqing, about one hour's drive from the city centre.

Ciqikou Old Town is an old town built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The name "Ciqikou" means porcelain harbor and the community prospered from the porcelain trade. It was Chongqing's old harbor and was once the home of many of Chongqing's rich merchants, where you can still see lots of Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture, local shops, tea houses, local Sichuan Street performance and so on.

In addition, it offers a glimpse of the peaceful laid-back life in the Sichuan countryside and is somewhere to take a break from the busy commercial world of Chongqing.

The old town has only two main streets and they've been taken up by all kinds of shops. The teahouse puts on a diverse range of entertainment with shows staged from time to time. And this is the famous Sichuan show, 'Changing the face'. The biggest secret is how the performer changes his masks.
