磁器口古镇

Ciqikou Ancient Town

Download poster

Ciqikou developed into a river port and a town due to the water transport of the Jialing River. Mountain streets, temples, courtyard houses and commercial relics are still preserved in a highly touristized neighborhood. Only by leaving the main snack street and entering the quieter side alleys can the topography of the ancient town, community history and modern tourist commerce be distinguished.

Getting there

Take the rail transit to Ciqikou Station and enter the surrounding quieter alleys from the busiest main street.

Practical notes

If you want to observe the architecture, you should arrive by subway as early as possible. The stone steps are steep and slippery on rainy days, and the quality and price of snacks and souvenirs vary significantly. When entering residential lanes, you should lower the volume and confirm the ingredients. You can also include the direction of Jiangan and Baolun Temple in your route instead of just taking the central commercial street.
