Republican-era Charm – Dongxi Ancient Town

The drive from Chongqing to Dongxi in Qijiang takes a little over two hours. Dongxi Ancient Town is a renowned, undeveloped ancient town that preserves its rare original flavor. On Zhenzi Street, they say there are many beauties – go take a look!

Take a leisurely gaze beneath the stilted houses.

I’m grateful that this ancient town gave me a unique sense of closeness, and I’ll walk the road ahead with greater ease.

Local food recommendations:

Salt-baked dried peanuts, douhua rice (tofu pudding with rice), steamed sponge cake, rice tofu, liangfen (mung bean jelly), and more.

Dried radish, fermented tofu, peanuts, honey, beans, etc.
