99 Art Gallery is themed on “space and time travel” and “the period around early 20th century.” The stainless steel-made CRH train model demonstrates the route of China Railway Express (Chongqing) from Chongqing, through Alashankou in Xinjiang, Kazakhstan, and Russia, to Duisburg in Germany. Many people took pictures here.

“Zijin Road, where 99 Art Galley stands, extends to the ‘street of vehicle repairing.’ In 2020, the area covered by the Galley will double.” According to the head of Longta Subdistrict, Yubei District plans to develop 99 Art Gallery into a place for exhibition, sale, and auction of artworks as well as a cultural tourism destination in the main urban areas of Chongqing, which can satisfy diverse cultural needs of local people and tourists.
