Features: Chongqing is a world-famous mountain city, with its most prominent feature being its undulating terrain and strong sense of dimension. The city is situated 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 crisscross pattern. The silver glow flickers, intertwined with the shimmering waves of the two rivers and the stars in the sky, creating a dazzling spectacle.
