CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- “Look! This is the best shaobing in Shibati, and all memories from childhood come up to our mind!” Shaobing is a type of baked, unleavened, and layered flatbread in Northern Chinese cuisine. Recently, a group of huge black and white photos were exhibited at the construction fence of City Balcony, an assembly platform, in the upper section of the Shibati in the Yuzhong District, attracting many passers-by to watch.

As an important part of the 2018 Chongqing (International) Image Culture Festival, an outdoor image exhibition of urban space has been held at Shibati, Shancheng Lane and Baixiang Street in Yuzhong District at the same time.

Dilapidated staircases, on-demand cinemas, hair salons, earwax cleaning and pedicures, as well as long-time residents of Shibati — these old photos in black and white are the real scenes of the Shibati old street before its renovation.
