Anju Ancient Town, Tongliang
安居古城
A thousand-year-old town at the confluence of the Fu and Qiong Rivers in Tongliang District, with city gates, guild halls and old streets clinging to the hillside, and Tongliang dragon dances to watch.
Anju Ancient Town is in Tongliang District, where the Fu and Qiong Rivers meet. Historically it was an important river port. The town still has Ming and Qing-era streets, the City God Temple, the Confucian Temple, the Fire God Temple and the Hubei-Guangdong Guild Hall. Its city walls and gates follow the hills and offer views over both rivers. Tongliang dragon dance is a national-level intangible cultural heritage, and during holidays the old town often hosts dragon dances and fire dragon performances. Entry to the town is free, though some venues charge admission. It is about 1.5 hours by car from downtown Chongqing.
