CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The hit screening of “Hi, mom” during the Spring Festival holiday has sparked a rush to clock in old factories, whose historical and cultural value cannot be duplicated but cannot be forgotten.

In Chongqing, there are many industrial sites similar to filming locations. Nowadays, the industrial boom has gradually subsided, and many factories have moved away from their original sites, leaving only part of the old factory complex. Some of these buildings have been transformed into related museums and cultural and creative parks; some have been renovated and protected as excellent historical buildings. Some are still vacant, leaving mottled machines and weeds all over the courtyard. No matter what way they exist, they are full of memories of the development of a city, and also engraved with the youthful splendor of many people.

On March 3, Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Planning and Natural Resources, Chongqing Municipal Geographic Information and Remote Sensing Application Center selected some well-preserved industrial sites and launched the Chongqing Old Factory Map. Come and visit the coolest industrial style and feel the historical memory of Chongqing people.
