About this place

A recently revitalized arts district on the south bank that has preserved the crumbling brick walls, steep stone pathways and old-world texture of pre-modern Chongqing.

Drifter says

"The perfect antidote to this city's relentless intensity. Independent cafes, craft workshops and slow-moving stray cats fill every corner. Wander without direction, get deliberately lost in the alleyways, and bring a camera — this place is made for slow, mood-heavy street photography."
