CHONGQING
Lying in hilly country, at the Jaling and upper Yangtze Rivers confluence. the commercial and industrial hub of China's southwestern Sichuan Province is now known as Chongqing (once called Chungking as in "Chungking Express").
A subtropical climate makes for muggy summers and mild winters here, but throughout the year, tourists come for river cruises along the famous Three Gorges.
Downtown Chongqing is magnificent, cut-through by rivers and sprawling over hills. Chongqing is also great for Sichuan cuisine, like Zhang tea cooked duck, steamed carp, marinated beef, and bean curd.
Silk, citrus fruit, tea, and grain are its main exports. Abundant mineral resources in the region facilitate local production of trucks, motorcycles, and metals. Chongqing's wider metro area is home to 10.2 million people, 40 percent of whom are industrial workers.
Chongqing is one of the most polluted cities in the world borne out of the many factories that were relocated from the Eastern Seaboard circa second world war.
