Subway access! An old street in Chongqing that hasn't disappeared yet, Ma'anshan Community Park!

"Ma'anshan Community Park, Nan'an, Chongqing: A Place of History and Art" I. Location and Convenient Transportation The park is located at 132 Shangxin Street, Nan'an District, Chongqing. Admission is free. You can take a bus and get off at Shangxin Street Station, or take the subway and get off at Shanghao Station. As parking is inconvenient nearby, taking a taxi directly to the Shangxin Street intersection is a good option. II. Rich Travel Guide 1. Hiking and sightseeing: Climb up the cobblestone road of the old street and you'll be rewarded with a stunning view from the top of the mountain. Here, the river view is picturesque and the night view is charming. You can enjoy the magnificent view of the Yangtze River and experience the unique charm of the mountain city. 2. Relaxing shopping: There are many small shops along the street, including food, drinks, and small toys. Here, you can leisurely stroll, enjoy afternoon tea, taste simple meals, and experience a slow-paced life. 3. Photo check-in: The old street is decorated with a retro and artistic vibe. At night, the lights are bright and the Totoro and other cute decorations create a fairy-tale atmosphere. However, remember to wear flat shoes, as climbing the mountain for a long time can be tiring. III. Rich Historical Background Ma'anshan Community has a long history. When it started to develop cultural and creative industries a few years ago, it attracted many people. This area is full of old communities and streets. The old historical buildings on the top of the mountain are mottled and weathered, and many of them were not properly protected in the past. Although the nearby Kaifu Site Park was developed later, this area was once home to foreigners during the opening-up period. At the end of the 19th century, Chongqing became China's first inland trading port. Ma'anshan took advantage of this opportunity and quickly became one of the earliest "foreign companies" to gather in Chongqing, with many garden villas springing up. During the Anti-Japanese War, high-level employee residences and embassies of various countries were built here. The majestic buildings on the mountain bear witness to Chongqing's opening-up history. IV. Former British Association Hospital Site In Ma'anshan Community Cultural Park, there is an important historical building from the opening-up period - the British Association Hospital. It was the site of the earliest Western hospital in Nan'an District. No. 234 Ma'anshan is a building of the British Association Hospital, with blue bricks and tiles, which are very well preserved. Today, it has become a residential building, with its high porch and mottled old bricks telling its past stories. V. Nearby Attractions Nearby attractions include the Yangtze River Cableway, Longmen Road, Haitangxi Tongzilou, Huangge Ancient Road, and Longmenhao Old Street. After visiting Ma'anshan Community Park, you can visit these places to further experience the historical charm of Chongqing.
