Introduction:

Baisha Ancient Town is a famous historical and cultural town in China and the most populous town in Chongqing. During the Anti-Japanese War, Baisha, Shapingba in Chongqing, Xiaba in Beibei and Huaxi Dam in Chengdu were called "Four Cultural Dams" in Sichuan. As the rear area of Chongqing, Baisha is also one of the three major cultural areas in Chongqing.

The ancient town is characterized by the relics of the Anti-Japanese War and the scenery of Diaojiao Building. There are more than 20 anti-Japanese war cultural sites, accounting for 15% of Chongqing anti-Japanese war cultural sites, such as Heniantang, Xiagongguan, Wu Bai College of Literature and Chaotianzui Wharf. There are diaojiao buildings, temples with constant music, and the streets are full of anti-Japanese war atmosphere.

On the one hand, the folk houses in ancient towns reflect the inclusiveness of immigrant culture in the southeast and northwest and the integration of western culture, on the other hand, they are influenced by the folk customs in Bayu area, and at the same time, they absorb the characteristics of northern architecture and micro-architecture, which is inclusive. There are many traditional houses, some temples and western-style buildings in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, which have a sense of history and are especially suitable for friends who like history and old buildings to visit deeply. Jukui Middle School, Diaojiaolou by the river, wharf, Wangye Temple and Banban Street are all very interesting places. There are not many tourists here. The historic block is a truly residential building complex in Bayu Mountain area with unique style, large scale and well-preserved.

The unique architecture and similarity with the old pier in Chaotianmen, Chongqing, attracted many film and television crews to settle in. Many film and television works are shot here, and Baisha Ancient Town has become an important film and television base in Chongqing. Heishishan is the location of Jukui Middle School and a campus scenic spot in Chongqing. Named after its huge black stone, it has unique natural scenery, including all kinds of rare trees and birds, such as Podocarpus, camphor trees with a tree diameter of 1.8 meters and thousands of egrets.

There are two old streets in Baisha town, one is in the ancient town along the river and the other is hidden in the urban area. The whole Baisha town is small and the road is easy to walk. You don't need a car at all. Just ask someone for directions. You can start from Chaotianzui and slowly visit the ancient town along the river. The ancient town has not been fully developed and protected, and the tourist facilities are not perfect. Many places are very dilapidated and have a sense of eschatology everywhere. It is undoubtedly a place that cannot be missed for photographers. Usually, there are few tourists, but it is a rare experience to get used to the hustle and bustle of the ancient town and come to this life-rich white sand. There is a sense of vicissitudes everywhere, which an ancient town photographer like me should not miss.
