Help, I accidentally entered the world of Hayao Miyazaki's Totoro

Chongqing Totoro Street ❤❤❤ Chongqing, with its inherent "internet celebrity" attributes, can surprise you at any moment: spicy hot pot, magical buildings rising from the ground, real-life "light rail into the house," neon-lit night scenes... attracting many visitors from other places to check in. Here, you will marvel at the city's charming allure and feel its bustling prosperity. But actually, beneath all this, Chongqing also has its quiet and unique side. To understand the old Chongqing full of local life, you still have to stroll through its old streets and alleys! In this issue of "Interesting Places in the Mountain City," Hualong Net Yu Life will take you to explore the Ma'anshan Community on Shangxin Street in Nan'an District, to experience the perfect blend of local life and fantasy in this super healing alley. 🍡 Every street and alley has a story By the banks of the Yangtze River, under Nanshan, there is a place called Ma'anshan, named after its saddle-like shape. On the stone steps of the Ma'anshan Community, you will see many old buildings, many of which were built during the opening period, with every brick and tile full of stories and memories. The entrance to the Ma'anshan Community is relatively secluded. Visitors can first go to the Shangxin Street bus stop, walk up the slope for about 200 meters, and you will see a small road that requires climbing. There are two small shops on either side of the entrance, and a pancake stall at the entrance. This is the Ma'anshan Community. Once you find it, you can start a "secret check-in journey"! Every brick and tile is a dream The Ma'anshan Community on Shangxin Street not only retains the most original appearance of old Chongqing: a local community full of life, bumpy stone roads, steps going up along the way, and old houses arranged in an orderly manner... but also has romantic and dreamy elements: colorful graffiti, pathways filled with windmills, cute Totoro sculptures... With the addition of green plants, the layers are distinct, as if you have entered a fairy tale world drawn by Hayao Miyazaki, full of local life and a bit of literary charm, with a retro filter. Just strike a pose, click the camera, and the photo rate is extremely high! Climbing up the steps, the scattered shops along the way add a lot of fun. There are covered bowl tea, hot pot, beverage shops, barbecue shops, all with their own unique styles, highlighted by the natural terrain of the mountain city. Since it is summer, it is recommended to come a bit later in the afternoon, and be sure to bring mosquito repellent! The taste of old Chongqing and the cuteness of anime complement each other here. If you have time, you can come and play, and experience the different streets and alleys of the mountain city.
