Located in Yuzhong District of Chongqing, the 18 Steps is a well-known popular tourist spot that features a blend of ancient architecture and modern retail spaces. Dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), this ancient area has witnessed the many vicissitudes of the city to become a living fossil to record the city's history. After several rounds of renovation, this well-preserved attraction is now divided into five sections, each offering a range of traditional historical and cultural elements, local delicacies, internet-famous shops, and more. Many photography lovers flock there to capture its charming blend of tradition and modernity at different times of the day and night.
