Why Chongqing?为什么是重庆

Chongqing is one of China's four direct-administered municipalities, covering 82,400 km² with over 32 million residents — where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers converge.

重庆,中国四大直辖市之一,总面积8.24万平方千米,常住人口超3200万,长江与嘉陵江在此交汇。

Its mountainous terrain creates the famous '8D magic city' landscape — light rails passing through buildings and roads on rooftops. With over 10,000 bridges, it is known as China's Bridge Capital.

山城地形造就「8D魔幻」景观,轻轨穿楼、楼顶马路成为独特的城市名片;桥梁超万座,被誉为「中国桥都」。

Ba-Yu culture spans 3,000+ years: the Dazu Rock Carvings are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Chongqing is the birthplace of the world-famous spicy hot pot.

巴渝文化绵延3000余年,大足石刻列入世界文化遗产;火锅发源于此地,麻辣鲜香享誉全球,是名副其实的火锅之都。

Misty Mountain City · Sizzling Life by the River山城雾都,江绕层楼,烟火滚烫

With 3,000+ years of history, Chongqing was the capital of the ancient Ba kingdom — the city's name, meaning 'double celebration', dates to Emperor Guangzong of Song.

重庆有3000余年历史,古为巴国都城,「重庆」之名取「双重喜庆」之意,由宋光宗年号而来。

The Diaoyu Fortress at Hechuan withstood Mongol cavalry for 36 years — a world record in siege warfare that reshaped Eurasian history.

合川钓鱼城抗蒙36年,创造了守城战争的世界纪录,深刻影响了欧亚历史进程。

During WWII, Chongqing served as China's wartime capital; Hongyancun and Ciqikou preserve that memory, where the spirit of the Mountain City was forged.

抗战时期重庆是中国的战时陪都,红岩村、磁器口保存着这段记忆,山城精神由此锻造。

Wartime Capital

抗战时期中国的陪都——大轰炸中屹立不倒,渣滓洞、白公馆、磁器口,每条老街都有故事。
