Located in Changshou District, Chongqing, Changshou Puti Ancient Town borders Taohua New City to the east, and old downtown of Changshou to the south, and neighbors Puti Mountain to the west and north.
The ancient town takes Bayu history and culture as the background and reproduces the past days via the unique architectural style of West China. Thanks to the designers’ fantastic thinking and craftsmen’s sophisticated skills, the pseudo-classic architecture group has been presented based on historical materials. It has perfectly combined Changshou (longevity) culture and the local culture of Bayu region.
In the river-cut town, the weeping willows are dancing with breezes, and a huge windmill and gurgling waters are telling stories of the past days.
Although these buildings were constructed today, they also carry the special antique style. The ancient town is similar to Lijiang with streams flowing under small bridges, and it also enjoys the uniqueness of ancient water towns by southern Yangtze River.
The scenic area is also well-equipped. The quadrangle courtyard hotel is located on a peaceful site, and its carved dragons and phoenix, and color paintings of birds and flowers have embellished the bluestone and redwood.
