                   | Ciqikou: | 
                   This lively old area  has been partly restored, and remains an authentic and busy community. The old  wooden houses and narrow streets furthest from the river are mostly unimproved,  closer to the river there are craft and souvenir shops, teahouses and music,  and lots of local food and snacks.  | 
                  
                 
                   | Eling Park: | 
                   Very popular with the  locals who come here to enjoy the gardens, play Mahjongg, make music or just  relax. Nice views over the river and Chongqing, there are also a number of  interesting buildings and former Embassies in the grounds, plus an enormous  long painting of the Yangtze.
