Chongqing
Chongqing
Set on a major confluence of the Yangtse, Chongqing is a city that has bloomed from a small town on the slopes of a riverside peninsula into a city that has become so large so quickly that it has been removed from the jurisdiction of its former province of Sichuan, and awarded a semi-autonomous status.

Chongqing has unmistakable character, and despite being at its centre a thick cluster of thin skyscrapers balanced uncertainly on the slopes, it is at heart a traditional old place which still hides its enchanting clutter up old, winding lanes.
