In Jiangjin City of Chongqing Municipality lies the famous historical and cultural town Zhongshan, where an ancient block with traditional folk-custom architecture is called Sanhe ancient lane and also Longdongchang (dragon cave field) by natives. At present 307 booths extending 1,132 meters are well preserved in the ancient street. With green stone plates laid as the surface, the entire ancient lane makes that one will neither get his feet wet on a rainy day nor be exposed to the sun on a sunny day, and it is also warm in winter and cool in summer. Residential architecture experts value it as the largest ancient construction cluster in southwest China that is best preserved and enjoys the most unique folk characteristics.
