CHONGQING

The jailing River crosses its way with the Yangtze at Chongqing, a river-girdled city hemmed in between mountains in the southeastern part of the Sichuan Basin. Buildings, either perched above rivers or hugging the contours of mountain slopes, are laid out in a terraced fashion to accentuate Chongqing's character as a mountain city. The average annual temperature is 18 degrees Celsius. Chongqing is also known as a 'Fog City' due to the fact that it is wet and foggy in late autumn and early spring. In 1997, Chongqing became the latest city to be incorporated as a municipality directly under the State Council. Today, it is the largest city and inland harbor and a major transportation hub for southwest China.
