Ci Qi Kou
Known as 'Little Chongqing City', Ci Qi Kou is famous for its long history and unsophisticated atmosphere. Covering an area of some 1.2 square kilometres (291.6 acres) it is located 14 kilometres to the west of Chongqing. The history of Ci Qi Kou can be traced back for more than 1700 years. It received its current name for its porcelain handicrafts and trade. If you visit Ci Qi Kou, you will find the local residents dedicated to their traditional way of life, unaffected by the modern influences to be found in the larger towns and cities. Most of the village buildings date back to the Ming and Qing eras. Typically, the buildings are three stories, constructed of bamboo and timber, and brightly painted, primarily in red and yellow. The three notable attractions of the village are the teahouses, the artists' studios and the Shu Embroidery workshops.
In 1998, the State Council listed Ci Qi Kou as a protected cultural site.
