Make your way to the Xi Yue He Zi tea house, located deep inside Xiahaoli Old Street in Chongqing. Walk along old stone steps and narrow alleys, passing weathered houses and small shop signs, as if you were on a little treasure hunt in a historic neighborhood.

Push open the tea house’s modest but warmly lit door, and leave the city noise behind. Be welcomed by soft lighting, the scent of wood, and gentle background music that naturally invites you to slow down.

Inside, admire the wooden furniture and refined Chinese details, with a layout that feels comfortable rather than crowded. Find small tables for quiet conversations between two or three people, as well as window seats and cozy corners that are perfect for taking photos.

Choose a pot of tea you like, sip it slowly, and chat at your own pace, enjoying a tender moment of old Chongqing life in the rising steam and fragrance of tea. Look out the windows to see the old houses and lights of Xiahaoli Old Street, while inside you are surrounded by a space shaped by classical aesthetics, where every angle is photogenic without feeling overly staged.
