Quaint, labyrinthine place that is worthy of a 2-hour stay. Bring a book or eat sesame dumplings!

Longmenhao and Xiahao Lane are both accessed from the same metro station, Shangxinjie 上新街 (orange Circle Line),just different exits. Clear directional signs from the station; whether you start from Longmenhao or Xiahao Lane, you will be able to cross over to the other side once you get to the confluence point which is a mini idyllic waterfall in the cratered landscape. I really enjoyed wandering and getting lost in the multi-directional pathways. Spend some time at one of the cafes to soak in the place. There are a few cool boutiques: got myself a unique, quality handmade silver ring at a good price. I can imagine this place being very romantic at night. Will definitely come back again when I return to Chongqing in future. Highly recommended. #artsy #cafe #solotrip #china
