The ancient town of Ciqikou, or Porcelain Port, in southwest China's Chongqing developed from a busy porcelain cargo terminal along the Jialing River more than 1,000 years ago. It has often been dubbed "Little Chongqing" due to its bustling streets. Now, its steep and narrow pedestrian lanes are attracting tourists from all around China to experience the lifestyle of Chongqing, such as visiting tea houses, purchasing handicrafts and enjoying hot pots.
