There's a restored neighborhood/tourist trap in Chongqing called Ci Qi Kou (pronounced 'sih chee ko'). This past week was my first trip there since I moved to CQ last year. I took these pictures more toward the outskirts of the neighborhood, where the shops end and the homes begins; this part is not as restored, but I thought it was more interesting. As always, click to enlarge!

Little boys playing hide and seek in an alleyway:
I covet this chest!

Please don't ask me what this means, I have no idea!:
Btw, Chongqing is pronounced 'chong ching', so whenever I read about people imitating the Chinese language by saying, 'Ching Chong China' I always think, 'No, but there is Chongqing, China!'
These pics are the real deal. I love 'em, especially the little boys playing in the alleyway.
ReplyDeletePS - When are you going to walk away with that chest??
These photos are great, I really love the playing/lauging boys.
ReplyDeleteI would love to know the meaning of that sign, mother and urinating boy???? Weird.
Now we're talking..rather now you're blogging. Awesome pics.
ReplyDeleteI covet that chest too, even if it's "made in China" LOL!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty place, but why is it a tourist trap?
