CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Currently, these old barns in the grain supply center of Changshengqiao Town, Nanan District, Chongqing Municipality, are like a museum, gaining popularity on the Internet and attracting visitors to take pictures.

Architectures are built on bricks and wood, consisting of round and house-like barns. House-like barns have continuous arched thin cap, and round ones have a special pointed roof, with reasonable architecture design and science. They have a humble appearance of the 1970s, showing a unique “industrial scenery”. They are the miniature of the life back then. It is said that the barns on Changshengqiao Old Street are listed in the second batch of Chongqing’s Historical Architectures. (Translated by Zhou Tuo, Fathom Language Limited)
