CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- “Artistic element” becomes a critical factor for tourists to choose a tourism destination. The following artistic places in Shapingba are recommended for you to enjoy the charm of arts.

Places for shooting pictures

Luo Zhongli Art Museum

It is a colorful structure located at Daxuecheng. The colorful external wall is made by piecing broken tiles together, full of artistic atmosphere, making it one of the most beautiful and coolest art museums in China.

Instead of oil painting, the external wall is pieced together with countless pieces of colorful broken tiles, which are discarded tiles purchased by Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in many factories. Colorful patterns make the external wall a wonderful picture scroll, also the most favorite shooting place for tourists.

Artistic villages

Yuanshan Pottery Kiln

It used to be an old-style dragon kiln built the late 1980s, commonly known as the “Tikan kiln” because of its shape. Buildings here are built along the mountain, seeming like a dragon. In 2015, the renovation project was implemented.

Nowadays, a public cultural experience platform, integrating handmade pottery making and cultural experience has been constructed on the basis of the old earth kiln. It has been a popular place near Daxuecheng since its opening, attracting a large amount of shutterbugs and artistic youth.

Pigpen Bookhouse

It is a courtyard transformed from a pigsty, which was shabby while warm and romantic now, making this village filled with artistic atmosphere.

You’ll be amazed at details inside the building, cane chairs, wooden desks and reconstructed earth walls. You’ll be calm once you enter the building. It is an activity room for villagers and also a destination for many tourists.

Shaci Culture Industrial Park

Jinbi Lane

It is a short street near Ciqikou. It takes no more than 5 minutes to go through the street. All people passing by are neighbors. There is only one barbecue shop on the street. Children here can run on the street freely.

The street is tidy, with many coffee shops popular on the Internet. Adults on chairs are chatting with neighbors and dogs are taking a snap to enjoy the pleasant afternoon. (Translated by Mao Qiao, Fathom Language Limited)
