Chongqing Travel Guide

Chongqing Travel Overview:

Hazily overcast, heavily industrialized, and haphazardly sprawled, Chongqing has been socioeconomically important enough to become China's fourth municipality directly under the Central Governmentafter Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin in 1997, making the world's largest metropolitan area ever since then kind of a conbination of the smog and sprawl of LA, the hilliness and hotness of SF, and the seediness and sophistication of NYC.
Having endured the substantial brunt and bombardment of invasion by hostile natural powers as well as outside forces since its founding 3,000 years ago, and just about to embrace the possible benefits and blessings of inundation by the world's largest dam that has been displacing over 1.3 million people, this cliff-side Mountain City of 82,400 sq kilometers with a population of 30 million is extra favorably endowed with a legendary Ba-Shu culture dating back to the prehistoric floods and mega-potential to embark on a new mellenium rollercoaster, taking the rest of Southwest China with it.
Many come just for one and only one reason, to catch a Yangtze River cruise downstream to explore the stunning historical and scenic spots along its bank, most notably the Three Gorges with breathtaking scenery and the magnificent Three Gorges Dam Project.
Seasoned with the mysterious Dazu Buddhist rock carvings, the hot and spicy Sichuan delicacies, the vibrant and happening nightlife, cheap traditional shopping, several renowned revolutionary era sites, and most importantly, the hot-tempered and fun-loving Chongqingnese, Chongqing is always an experience catering to each one of your senses.
