Main attractions

The ancient town has gone through many vicissitudes, but it is well preserved and rich in cultural heritage. There are more than 70 cultural sites in eight groups. The typical buildings include ancient temples, ancient villages, ancestral halls and old street dwellings.

Longxing old street

There is a shop around the corner, which deals in small noodles, steamed buns and so on, and also buys some tea. Tea attracted the old tea guests and asked for a cup of tea. Or you can get four people to play mahjong. The old street of t-turn is built with thick wooden columns, wooden beams, steep arches, wooden rafters and black mud tiles to form a canopy of about 40-50 meters, so that the rest people can avoid the rain, the sun and enjoy the cool. It also makes the street suddenly darken to form a time tunnel, allowing visitors to cross from the new town to the old block and enter the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Liu's courtyard

Built in the reign of Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, it is the residence of Liu dengji, a rich man who used to be a landlord, businessman and industrialist. It covers an area of 1800 square meters and is surrounded by a 12 meter high fire wall. It is the most complete existing landlord's residence in Chongqing. Liu's courtyard is located in the old street, three Bay front, four floor deep courtyard, dark brown Chinese paint, white walls, small windows, dense lattice, only three or four into the middle of a narrow patio, lack of light.

There is a couplet hanging in the hall of the middle hall. The squire congratulated uncle Liu on his 50th birthday: the night of the Han Dynasty, the great leap of the Han Dynasty, the great leap of the Han Dynasty, and the golden hall, the great leap of the crane. The banner is a plaque with three characters: crane, deer and spring. The paint on the board where the couplet was hung was all but barely recognizable. The horizontal plaque is painted with oil and gold, which does not match the ancient house.

Huaxia ancestral hall

Huaxia ancestral hall is the only ancestral hall with the theme of surname culture in Southwest China. It was rebuilt from the original "he ancestral hall" in 2003. There are 172 family names in the stele.

The opera house is carved with beams and painted buildings, with fine workmanship, figures, flowers and plants. It has been immortal for hundreds of years and is basically in good condition up to now. On the left and right, there are corridors with roofs, one on the first floor and one on the bottom.

The Huaxia ancestral hall, which is adjacent to Longxing Temple and rebuilt from the old ancestral hall, is also built with stage style pavilions at almost the same location. Although the space in front of the stage is narrow and there is little place for tables, chairs and benches, it obviously does not have the performance function. Perhaps Longxing people stubbornly believe that in a place where the public is concentrated, there should be a theater building. Only similar buildings are orthodox and conform to their standards.

First floor

Formerly known as "the first Lou", more than 600 years ago. Emperor Jianwen built it to thank the local Lou brothers for leading the way. The three words "gate tower" are said to be written by Emperor Jianwen.

Now it's a teahouse and an inn. The ancient style of Chinese traditional quadrangle is antique and Dragon carving.

Folklore Museum

The exhibition hall opposite mainly displays the Qing Dynasty carved shelf beds collected by Yubei district and Longxing District, reflecting the level and style of furniture production represented by "chuanzuo" in the mainland. The nine carved beds are of wide materials and large size in modeling, fine workmanship in production, delicate knife work and rigorous structure in decoration, exquisite carving, rich and colorful in design content, all of which are precious tools in wood carving!

On the right is a portrait of the Three Kingdoms and the water margin carved by local craftsman Mr. Jiang Fengming. Mr. Jiang Fengming is one of the top ten folk artists in Chongqing and a master of folk arts and crafts in Chongqing. His sculptured figures are representative works of folk arts and crafts in Chongqing.
