About this place

A hillside historical neighborhood where late Qing, Republican-era and Soviet-influenced architecture sit layered on top of each other — walking its length is like reading a condensed history of Chongqing's built environment.

Drifter says

"Enter from the Nanqu Road entrance and the route unfolds naturally without any planning needed. Come at dusk — when the lanterns come on, the stone steps turn a warm amber and the cliffside walkway offers some of the best river views in Yuzhong. Cats appear regularly along the way; in this alley, they are the permanent residents."
