Features: Chongqing is a world-famous mountain city, with its most prominent feature being its undulating terrain and strong sense of dimension. The urban area of Chongqing is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River. Surrounded by mountains on all sides and cradled by rivers, the city climbs in layers, earning it the reputation of both a river city and a mountain city. The night view of the mountain city is enchanting, with countless lights rising and falling in a pattern, shimmering like silver clouds, intertwined with the sparkling reflections of the two rivers and the stars in the sky.
