Ciqikou is rich in religious culture, and folk culture that it is reckoned as the epitome of ancient Chongqing, and is praised as "Little Chongqing". There amongst the busy streets and crushing heat, you get a true sense of Chongqing's noise, energy, and boisterousness.

The Chongqing city had been divided by the Yangtze River for a very long time. In the old days, boats were the main transportation between the two sides. Later on, the city built a gondola and it became the primary mode of transportation.

Chongqing and Chengdu are sister cities and they often compete with each other about everything, from their economies to their hot pots. Chongqing is a capital of bridges in terms of the amount and the varieties. It needs these bridges to connect people on both sides of the Yangtze River.
