Ciqikou Ancient Town
Ciqikou developed as a river port and market settlement on the Jialing River. Its hillside lanes, temple sites, courtyard houses and traces of trade survive within a heavily visited commercial district. Leaving the main snack street for quieter side lanes helps separate the old town's topography and community history from the modern visitor economy.

Getting there

Practical notes
Use the metro and arrive early if architecture matters. Stone steps are steep and can be slippery; popular snacks and souvenirs vary in quality and price. Keep noise down in residential lanes, verify ingredients, and regard the riverside and Baolun Temple area as part of the visit rather than only the central shopping route.
