Chongqing Overview

 

Chongqing is the largest and most populous of the People's Republic of China's four provincial-level municipalities, and the only one in central and western region of China.Chongqing covers a large area crisscrossed by rivers and mountains. The whole area slopes down from north and south towards the Yangtze valley, with sharp rises and falls. The area is featured by mountain and hills, with large sloping areas at different heights. Typical karst landscape is common in this area, and stone forests, forests of peaks, limestone caves and valleys can be found in many places.
