CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Chongqing is a city of “climbing”. Shancheng Footpath is not only an important channel for people’s life, travel and recreation, but also an important space carrier for inheriting history and culture and recording urban evolution, which is closely related to the improvement of urban quality. At present, many citizens and visitors like to walk along the footpath.

Shancheng Lane

Located in Nanjimen, Shancheng Lane is a century-old lane with the same name as Shancheng (mountain city in Chinese). From Nanjimen, the long stone stairway extends from the inner side of the city wall to Tongyuanmen to Consul Lane, and the outer side is the Yangtze River.

The architecture, riverside scenery, layered terrain and the pattern of streets and alleys climbing up the bank were applauded by the citizens and tourists. Here, you can not only enjoy the river scenery along the cliff path, but also appreciate the old street culture. Mr. Tang, a tourist from Hebei, said that “Chongqing is a mountain city, and to some extent, the Shancheng Footpath is the epitome of Chongqing's history, culture and landscape characteristics.”
