7 Days Inn Chongqing Ciqikou Ancient Town

7 Days Inn Chongqing Ciqikou Ancient Town is a budget-friendly 2-star chain hotel from the Plateno Hotels Group, located in Shapingba District near the historic Ciqikou Ancient Town on the Jialing River banks, one of Chongqing’s most atmospheric and popular heritage tourism destinations. The hotel offers clean, air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms. A 24-hour front desk is available. Ciqikou Ancient Town is a beautifully preserved Ming and Qing Dynasty riverside village with narrow cobblestone lanes, traditional wooden merchant houses, tea houses serving Chongqing maofeng tea, street food vendors, ceramic craft shops, and live Sichuan opera performances. It is a dramatic contrast to the neon-lit modernity of Jiefangbei just a metro ride away. Ciqikou Station on Metro Line 1 is nearby, connecting guests to the entire Chongqing urban metro network including the Jiefangbei business district, Chaotianmen riverfront, and Shapingba Station for high-speed rail departures to Xi’an, Chengdu, and major eastern Chinese cities. The White Mansion, a World War II era residence associated with Chinese Communist Party leaders, is also accessible in this district. This hotel is a good choice for travelers who want a more local and historically immersive base than the central Jiefangbei area provides.
