Pictures of Ci Qi Kou (Porcelain Village)

Chongqing Ciqikou

The small street in the porcelain village is busy at all times.

Situated on the bank of Jialing River, not far from its confluence with the mighty Yangtze is the ancient village of Ci Qi Kou. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1911), the place was famous for its production of porcelain. To date, over 20 old kiln sites have been discovered there, which conveys an impression of what Chongqing would have been like in the distant past. This fact has been recognized by the State Council and in 1998 here became a protected cultural site. Attraction Intro: Ci Qi Kou
