About this place

An ordinary back alley tucked right beside the Jiefangbei commercial district, where hotpot joints, cafes and stir-fry restaurants coexist under the same residential block — the smell of coffee and beef tallow mingling on the same stone steps.

Drifter says

"This is the street-level soul hiding beneath Chongqing's cyberpunk surface. Skip the mall food courts and come here for a proper bowl of Chongqing xiaomian — the place feels stuck in the nineties in the best possible way, with locals and visitors sharing the same weathered steps. One of the most effortless entry points into Chongqing's everyday magic."
