The perfect work of Chongqing's old streets that has been bombarded with questions by friends, take a stroll and then leave
After visiting Chongqing, this popular city, there are too many places to check in. This street, which is less crowded and has a retro literary vibe, is probably the treasure of Chongqing's old streets. Don't go to Hongyadong anymore, join me on a journey through time and space.
🗺️Location🎶
Super 80 Street, located in the Nan'an District. It's about a 10-minute walk from either the Gongmao Station on Line 3 or the Houba Station on Line 10.
✅Retro tram, there are also many benches nearby, and the disc wall is very photogenic.
✅Ba Ba Tea, there is a large platform here where you can look at the city scenery and drink Ba Ba Tea with the locals, definitely not many tourists.
✅Zhiniang Coffee, a semi-open outdoor coffee shop with particularly good scenery, and the coffee tastes not bad either.
Recommended one-day city walk
Set off in the morning from Gongmao Station — Chongqing Xiaomian (Eyeglass Noodles) — 80's Old Street — Green Train — Zhiniang Coffee — Chongqing Kaibu Ruins Park
This route is tested by myself, easy to stroll, good to eat, and few tourists.
Attention⚠️
❌Do not take a taxi during peak hours, you can choose light rail or subway, Chongqing's rail transit is very developed and more convenient.
❌Do not go to Hongyadong for hotpot, just pick any street-side shop or community shop, they are all great.
❌Climbing slopes is common in Chongqing, it is recommended to wear comfortable sports shoes
That's it

Searching for Childhood Memories | Super Eighties Street
Super 80s Street
A niche attraction located near the former industrial and trade area, accessible by metro at Houpu Station. Transportation is quite convenient, although it's just a street, so you might need to follow the navigation. Search for 'Super Eighties Street' on your GPS, and you'll know you've arrived when you see distinctive graffiti along the way.
It seems to be an initiative by the street community, and now in Chongqing, many old streets are undergoing similar transformations (like Mafangwan and Time Lane).
This place is more suitable for taking photos, as it's a residential area with mostly leisurely passersby and not many tourists. People born in the 80s and 90s might not come here just for photos, but it does attract some younger folks.
As someone born in the 80s, it's quite touching and relatable. Many things from that era are memories, basically childhood objects and stories. You can walk all the way to the end of the road, and take the subway's internal passage to Houpu Station and then to the riverside to see the Yangtze River International (it's recommended to walk from inside Houpu Station to get to the riverside).
Transportation: Take Metro Line 3 to Gongmao Station and walk for about 10 minutes, or take Line 10 to Houpu Station and walk for about 10 minutes (different directions, follow the navigation to 'Super Eighties Street'). Since it's just one street, it's not recommended to drive (if driving, park nearby).
Admission: Open street
Visiting Time: 30~60 minutes
Nearby: Nanbin Road, Yangtze River International, Longmenhao Old Street, Ciyun Temple, Tanzishi Old Street (along Nanbin Road)

There are childhood animations and cartoon sculptures, nostalgic shops have a bit of cultural and creative block feeling, but there is no strong commercial atmosphere, only exquisite retro devices full of memories, the experience is excellent! These retro elements are set against the mottled tree shadows of the big trees, as if they are taking people into the disco era~ It's really atmospheric to go to a small shop to buy a 1 yuan old street popsicle for a photo!

Retro shops, the entire street is 80s retro shops, any shop is very good shot!
Doll slide, there is a huge doll on the slide, surrounded by all kinds of cute big-headed girls, very childish!
