Once a bustling porcelain port, it bears the essence of Bayu folk culture and is hailed as “Little Chongqing”. Winding bluestone alleys wind through well-preserved Ming and Qing architecture, ancestral halls and ancient temples. Here, traditional crafts thrive, Sichuan Opera and tea house culture flourish, and time-honored local snacks tell the stories of old riverside life. A living museum of Bayu customs, it preserves the authentic charm of traditional Chongqing.
