ChongQing Travel Guide: Transportation and Accommodation Guide
Nestled in southwestern China, Chongqing is a city defined by its dramatic topography. Surrounded by the Wu and Daba mountain ranges, it sits at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, creating a landscape of steep hills, deep valleys, and winding waterways. Often called the "Mountain City" (山城), about 78.7% of its area is covered by mountains and hills, making it one of China’s most vertically striking metropolises. The city’s subtropical climate brings misty mornings, hot summers, and mild winters, adding to its mysterious allure.
