Chongqing Aston

Surrounded by water on 3 sides, Chongqing is situated at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers. With beautiful hills and mountains the “Mountain City” has long been reputed for its wonderful scenery. Chongqing is one of the major cosmopolitan centers of inland China, the most economically important city in the southwest, and one of the biggest cities in the world. The region receives relatively large numbers of international tourists and investment. In spite of this, life here is more casual, relaxed, and intimate than you would find living in major metropolitan areas elsewhere, due to the laid back nature of the Sichuan people.

The city is the starting point for the Yangtze River Cruise, which explores the stunning scenery of the Three Gorges. Other attractions include the UNSECO recognized Dazu Rock Carvings and the Gold Buddhist Mountain, a rich repository of diverse animals and plants. Ancient Ciqikou village lies within city limits and offers an opportunity to explore rustic streets, buy local handicrafts, and sample authentic Sichuan street food.
