City Information:

Chongqing only officially became a "city" in 1927, but its strategic position at the head of the Yangtze Gorges has made it a trading capital for centuries. The "Mountain City" rises high above the Da Jiang (Yangtze River). Chongqing lies at the confluence of the Yangzi and Jialingjiang Rivers, centered on a hilly peninsula encircled by the rivers, in what was formerly the eastern part of Sichuan Province. Also known as the Mountain City, Chongqing is 1,025 km (640 miles) northwest of Hong Kong, and 1,800 km (1,120 miles) southwest of Beijing. It is one of the four “furnace cities” of China, with blazingly hot and humid summers and cold, foggy winters.
