It is totally touristic attraction, crowded and noisy, selling regular touristic colorful but useless stuff. Sichuan style street food is obviously spicy, but delicious, so if you decided to come here, better try one. This place is usually highly recommended, but to be honest, you won't loose much if you'll decide not to visit it. Just one of checkpoints in Chongqing. Yes, it has its charming atmospher in certain degree, but if you are expecting to dive into 'Chinese historic village', better not😉
