Chongqing is a massive megacity in southwest China, often called the "Mountain City" due to its hilly terrain and the "City of Rivers" for straddling the Yangtze and Jialing rivers. It's one of China's four direct-controlled municipalities, with over 30 million residents in its broader area, blending ancient history, dramatic landscapes, and futuristic urban sprawl.
Chongqing spans rugged mountains, deep gorges, and river confluences, creating a multi-level "8D" cityscape where highways, buildings, and subways stack vertically.[4][7] Its subtropical monsoon climate brings high humidity and fog, earning it the nickname "Fog City," with UNESCO-listed natural sites like Wulong Karst and Jinfo Mountain nearby.
Over 3,000 years old, Chongqing traces roots to the Ba Kingdom and became a key city under the Qin Dynasty around 316 BCE.[1][3] Renamed in 1189 CE during the Song Dynasty, it served as China's wartime capital in WWII, hosting the Nationalist government amid Japanese invasion.[1][3] Post-1949, it industrialized rapidly and gained municipality status in 1997, absorbing eastern Sichuan areas.[3]
Attractions
Key sites include Hongya Cave's lit-up stilted buildings, Dazu Rock Carvings (UNESCO heritage), Ciqikou Ancient Town, and the Yangtze Cableway over the river.[1] Wulong Karst offers dramatic caves and arches, while Jiefangbei is a bustling pedestrian hub.[1][2]

A major transport and trade hub on the Yangtze, Chongqing drives manufacturing, tech, and commerce with rapid growth.[6] It's famed for spicy hotpot, noodles, and Bayu culture, including Chongqing opera, with vibrant night markets and preserved historic alleys.
