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 winding rivers, the city nestles against the water and mountains, layering upwards. It is renowned as a river city and celebrated as a mountain city. The night view of the mountain city is enchanting, with countless lights rising and falling in a complex pattern, like shimmering silver clouds, reflecting against the sparkling waves of the two rivers and the stars in the sky.
