    Starting from Qixinggang Station, follow a route connected with Chongqing’s ancient city wall system, from Jintang Gate toward Tongyuan Gate. Along the way, your local host will lead you through layers of the city’s history: ancient wall remains, old city gates, hillside streets, industrial memories, religious traces, and everyday neighborhood life. Visit places such as the Bodhi King Kong Tower area, the former water plant, Jintang Gate city wall ruins, Shancheng Lane Traditional Style Area, Ren’ai Church, Ren’ai Wild Park, and Tongyuan Gate.
