Adorned with remodeled residential buildings, modern pocket parks, vintage Soviet-style red brick buildings and quaint cafes and restaurants, a once run-down neighborhood in Chongqing has become a hot destination for visitors.
Located in Chongqing's Jiulongpo district, Minzhu Village Community was built between the 1950s and 1990s as a residential area for the former State-owned Construction Machine Tool Factory. But after the relocation of the factory, the living conditions deteriorated as a result of poor management.
