Chongqing Perfect Time International Youth Hostel is located right beside the Jialing River. The hostel can be reached from any train or bus station by bus. And it is very convenient to get to Jiefangbei(解放碑)---the most prosperous downtown of Chongqing, called "the People’s Liberation Monument", and also easy to get to Chaotianmen, the most important starting point of the Yangzte River Cruise. Most of our rooms are facing the river, and some rooms are also equipped with a balcony.
Ciqikou is strongly recommended by Lonelyplanet because it is the only ancient town located in the downtown of Chongqing, in Shapingba District, dating back to the late Ming Dynasty. The buildings have been restored and preserved for tourists, and the main street is lined with shops and restaurants. Ciqikou is one of the key places of interest in Chongqing.

The specialties here:*Ciqikou Ancient town*
The town located by the riverside of the Jialing River in Shapingba District, taking its name from porcelain (ciqi in Chinese), for this little town produced large quantities of porcelain products and also served as a trading and transfer port in Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the War of Resistance against Japan, a large number of government departments, schools, banks and munitions factories moved here from coastal areas. Some well-known personages in artists and cultural circles such as Xu Beihong, Guo Moruo, Ba Jin and Bingxin also stayed here in that period. Now this "millennium-old town" is a tourist attraction for local customs and folk arts. Many of the old houses and shops in this ancient town are wooden structures of the Ming and Qing style, and the streets are paved with flagstone. You can sit in a tea–house, enjoying a up of tea while listening to ballad singing, story telling, or the singing of Sichuan opera.
