Chongqing Tours

Also a municipality directly under the Central Government, Chongqing is the largest industrial and commercial center in southwest China, and a hub of land and water transportation in the upper Yangtze. With a history of over 3,000 years, the birthplace of Ba and Yu culture, the "Mountain City" clings to steep cliffs at the confluence of the Yangtze and a major tributary, the Jialing River. At night, climbing up onto one of the less-populated hills affords panoramic views of the city's night lights. Due to the city's hilly terrain, you can see a hierarchy of lights in all directions. Lights in different colors sparkle and shine in layers and are reflected in the sparkling river, creating a mirage-like view -- it's hard to tell the river and the lights. And, widely acknowledged as the largest industrial and economic center in southwestern China, Chongqing City is a popular destination for travelers with its hilly slopes, rivers, night views and spicy food.
