what are the first and deepest impressions of Chongqing for tourists? Anyone who has been to Chongqing will answer this question: Chongqing's mountains, water, city, night, hot pot and beauty. This is the most representative of Chongqing, but this is not the whole of Chongqing.

Chongqing is a megacity in the inland of China. It hangs on the world map in the United Nations Hall, and only the names of four cities in China are marked, one of which is Chongqing. Our city has unique natural geography and distinct human geography. Almost everyone who comes here can feel a strong visual impact and spiritual shock. In China, you can't find a city similar to Chungking. In Chongqing, it is not difficult for you to experience the intersection and collision of tradition and modernity, history and future.

first, the city of mountains and waters-the topography and urban endowments of Chongqing surrounded by mountains and waters. Chongqing is called "the city of mountains and waters" because there are Daba Mountain in the north, Wushan Mountain in the east, Wuling Mountain in the southeast and Dalou Mountain in the south, and the general topographic trend is inclined from north to south to the Yangtze River valley, with great ups and downs. The landform is dominated by hills and mountains, with a large slope area, and typical karst landscapes such as stone forests, peak forests, caves and canyons are distributed. The whole city of Chongqing is mountainous and undulating. The main city of Chongqing and many districts and counties are completely located in the mountains, which is a typical "mountain city". Besides mountains, Chongqing has more water. There are many rivers in Chongqing, and the main stream of the Yangtze River traverses the whole territory from west to east, with a length of 665km. Jialing River comes from the northwest and folds into the Yangtze River. The Chongqing section of the main stream of the Yangtze River gathers five tributaries, including Jialing River, Qujiang River, Fujiang River, Wujiang River and Daning River, and hundreds of small rivers. Together with Changshou Lake, Xiaonanhai Lake and Qinglong Lake, the annual average total water resources is about 511 billion m3, ranking first in the country in terms of water area per km2. It is almost no exaggeration to say that the whole city of Chongqing stands in the water. The climate of Chongqing belongs to subtropical monsoon humid climate, which is hot in summer and warm in winter, humid and cloudy, with high temperature, long rainy season, less frost and snow, cloudy days and high humidity. At the turn of spring and summer, it always rains at night and clears up during the day. This unique climate has created a poetic "evening rain". Li Shangyin, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "note on a rainy night to a friend in the north" in Chongqing, which vividly depicts the climate characteristics of the rainy night in Chongqing. "When you ask about the untimely return date, evening rain will rise in autumn pool. Why should * * * cut the candle at the west window, but talk about evening rain?". Evening rain has become the artistic conception of deep yearning and the symbol of Chongqing's poetic habitat. The most prominent features of Chongqing urban area are continuous mountains and rivers, ups and downs, strong three-dimensional sense and layering. The urban area is located at the intersection of Yangtze River and Jialing River, surrounded by mountains, and the main city is surrounded by water on three sides. The whole city is built on the mountain, on the river, on top of each other. The Yangtze River and Jialing River pass through the city, and then roll down the east after meeting at Chaotianmen. The city has steep slopes and steep roads, overlapping buildings, and the mountains and the city are integrated. The city is in the mountains, the mountain is in the water, there is a city in the mountains, there are mountains in the city, the mountain is the city, and the city is the mountain. Therefore, Chongqing is both a "mountain city" and a "river city". As a large city, Chongqing is the only city in China that is completely built on a mountain surrounded by two rivers. The green coverage rate of the main urban area is over 27.1%, and the buildings and nature blend together to form a landscape garden city with unique charm. Moreover, the landscape gardens in Chongqing are natural and original mountains and waters, and there is no need to add rockeries and rocks, which are rarely found in other big cities. "There are mountains without water, and there is water without mountains." Mountain is the pride of Chongqing, which creates the atmosphere and boldness of Chongqing people. Water is the tenderness of Chongqing, which gives Chongqing people agility and intelligence. It is mountains and water that cast the soul of Chongqing city and the temperament of Chongqing people. Confucius said, "The knower enjoys water, and the benevolent enjoys Leshan." Chongqing, a modern metropolis, comes straight to the point, seeing the water when going out, seeing the green through the window, and being so zero distance from nature is our great happiness. The city flower in Chongqing is designated as camellia, because Chongqing is very suitable for camellia growth because of its mountains, water and humid air. It is widely planted in public places, scenic spots, courtyards and terraces in Chongqing. Camellia has won the love of Chongqing citizens for its bright and dazzling color and passionate flower posture. Chongqing City Tree is a Castanopsis fargesii tree with tenacious vitality, deep roots and luxuriant leaves, high temperature tolerance, moisture resistance, and also holding its head high in the wind on the cliffs. This kind of tree takes root in the land of Bayu and Chongqing, and encourages children in mountain cities to strive for self-improvement with its rich and lush branches and leaves. Camellia and Castanopsis fissa have become symbols of Chongqing's urban style.

second, the dynamic city-the great spirit and atmosphere of Chongqing's modern city

(a) the city square is full of great spirit and fashionable culture. There are many roads in Chongqing, and there are few plains. Therefore, Chongqing people have a profound square plot and built many squares that even plain cities can't match. Chongqing's squares are organically combined with commercial circles and pedestrian streets, making the number and size of squares in Chongqing rare in the country. Jie Fangbei, Jiangbei, Nan 'an, Shapingba and Yangjiaping, the main cities of Chongqing, are large-scale squares, which are not only pedestrian streets with different styles, but also the five shopping districts with popular shopping. Chaotianmen Square, which integrates the functions of water collection, land transportation hub, tourism and citizens' leisure, is a distinctive landmark building in new Chongqing, and it is an excellent place to overlook the confluence of the two rivers and view the shuttle scenery of the river wheels. The Three Gorges Square is divided into four parts: Green Art Garden, Commercial Cultural Street, Celebrity Sculpture Garden and Three Gorges Landscape Garden. It is a large-scale city square integrating commerce, culture, landscape and leisure. Jie Fangbei Central Shopping Plaza, luxurious and imposing, is a symbol of a prosperous city, and its pedestrian street is the most magnificent and largest in western China. Some people say, "Walking in Jie Fangbei is like walking in Manhattan, new york". The People's Square is composed of the magnificent Great Hall of the People, the square in front of it and the modern building Three Gorges Museum opposite. It is the municipal, cultural and leisure square in Chongqing, and also the place for holding grand gatherings and activities in the whole city. Every night, nearly thousands of people spontaneously dance "dam dam" (that is, "square"). This spectacular collective dance scene has become a square culture with China characteristics and a major feature of Chongqing. The central leaders came to Chongqing to see the warm scene of the dam dance in the People's Square, and they were very happy and enjoyed it with the people.

(2) Three-dimensional traffic landscape and flowing melody. Chongqing's transportation city is very distinctive, and a three-dimensional transportation network of "water", "land" and "air" has been built. The so-called "water" is far from being a traditional wooden boat, but also includes modern water transportation tools and facilities such as hydrofoils, luxury tourist boats and river-crossing bridges. Especially worth mentioning is the bridge in Chongqing. The bridge in Chongqing is not a small bridge with flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, but a bridge across a natural moat. There are many bridges in Chongqing, which are unique in the world, and even have the reputation of "Bridge Capital". Of the 56 bridges built or under construction on the Yangtze River, 23 are in Chongqing, ranking first in the whole basin. On the two rivers in the main city, 14 large modern bridges with different styles, such as Yangtze River Bridge, Masangxi Bridge, Lijiatuo Bridge, Egongyan Bridge, Big Buddha Temple Bridge, huanghuayuan bridge Bridge, Yu 'ao Bridge, Gaojia Garden Bridge, Shimen Bridge and Jialing River Bridge, have been built, and six more are under construction. There are not only a large number of bridges in Chongqing, but also a complete variety, including arch bridges, cable-stayed bridges, suspension bridges, continuous steel bridges, T-shaped steel bridges, etc., and all kinds of bridges in China exist in Chongqing. It can be said that Chongqing is the largest bridge museum in China. Bridges, like the spreading wings of a rapidly taking-off city, have become rainbows that adorn the city. The so-called "land" naturally refers to land transportation. Chongqing's land transportation is outstanding and colorful, with modern highways, main roads, stone steps (Chongqing people call it "step ridge") and mountain paths with nine twists and eighteen turns. The roads and streets in the main city meander at the foot of the mountain, hover on the mountainside and rise and fall on the ridge. In Chongqing, walking is a great pleasure, which makes you feel the fun of "seven ups and eight downs"; In Chongqing, taking a bus is also a great pleasure, which makes you feel that taking a bus is like taking a boat, with ups and downs and an addiction. The so-called "empty" refers not to the international air transport in Chongqing, but to many scenic cableways in Zhinan Mountain, Geleshan and Nanquan, the cable car at Chaotianmen Wharf like a bucket, and the urban light rail like a ribbon, with a total length of 112 meters, which ranks the longest in Asia and the steepest slope. These modern means of transportation are diverse and absolutely rare in other cities. In particular, the cableway across the river connecting two great rivers in Chongqing is unique to the whole country. Tourists ride on it, just like walking on a cloud, with a kind of surprise and happiness of flying in the air, and slowly appreciate the natural beauty surrounded by mountains and waters in Chongqing. It can be said that the three-dimensional and diversified traffic has increased the sense of movement of the city, like a flowing melody, and it is a magnificent symphony of modern city Chongqing.

(3) The night scene of the mountain city is breathtaking. Chongqing's night scene is famous since ancient times, and it was one of the "Twelve Scenes of Bayu" during the reign of Qing Qianlong. The beautiful night is unforgettable, just like a splash-ink freehand brushwork landscape painting, which is poetic in obscurity. The patchwork buildings are surrounded by mountains and rivers, and boats and boats travel through the river day and night, creating objective conditions for the beautiful and charming night view of the mountain city. No matter how beautiful the ancient night scene is, it can only be the dim light of oil lamps, candles and torches, and it is difficult to illuminate the whole city. Nowadays, urban construction is changing with each passing day, and rivers, mountains, cities, buildings and roads are developing in harmony. Thousands of lights and flashing neon lights decorate Chongqing's night dreamily and brilliantly. The lights are reflected in the rippling river, strewn at random, just like beating notes. Under the colorful lights, the new Chongqing is beautiful not only on the banks of mountains and rivers, but also in every corner of the city. Chongqing at this time is clear, prosperous, perfect and pleasing to the eye. The charm of the night in Chongqing lies in the combination of rigidity and softness, and the combination of reality and reality. Climbing the "one tree" in Nanshan, you can get a panoramic view of the night view of the mountain city: the high-rise buildings rising from the main city are covered with dazzling neon lights, which make the night sky bright; The orange lights in binjiang road are connected into an elegant ribbon, like a dancing dragon, full of vigor and vitality, and generate shows youthful vitality; On the sparkling river, thousands of lights are reflected in the water, forming countless gold and silver pillars. The seven colors of light are intertwined and full of poetry and painting. The whole city of Chongqing is like a magnificent floating palace, beautiful and hazy. The Ministry of Construction has incorporated Chongqing Lighting into the first batch of urban lighting construction projects in China for high-standard planning, and will build Chongqing night scene with the best foundation and potential into a more international and modern one, and become a more attractive China business card.

(4) beautiful women are like clouds on the big stage, which makes people envy the big scenery. Chongqing is rich in beautiful women, and it is a city where people can linger only by beautiful women. Jie Fangbei Pedestrian Street is the place with the largest number of people gathering beautiful girls and watching beautiful girls in the world. "Maggie Cheung in three steps, Brigitte Lin in five steps" describes the number of beautiful women in Jie Fangbei. There is a sea of flowers, the pedestrian street is like a huge beauty platform, and the whole street is full of beautiful women, which makes people see things in a blur. Jin Yuxi, a beauty expert, also said that the most beautiful woman in China is in Chongqing. There is a very popular word in Chongqing called "looking at the sky", which refers to the scanning eyes on the benches in the street center of Jie Fangbei. In popular parlance, it is called "eyes lead a life", and in elegant expression, it is called "delicious". All girls in Chongqing are slim, with delicate skin, naturally watery and gentle. Chongqing girl is a kind of energetic girl, sometimes gentle as water, sometimes passionate, not only delicate as a woman, but also a little masculine as a man. Their character of daring to love and hate is well-known throughout the country. They are straightforward, bold, generous, cheerful and capable, outspoken, with the character of the north and the beauty of the south. They will be very loyal, even a lady can fight with you loudly; They dare to wear, dress up and be unconventional. They are always so avant-garde, so they follow the fashion and even lead the trend. The reason why Chongqing girls are beautiful and generous is because of the moist geographical environment, the influence of food culture and the advantages of immigrating to cities. Chongqing is like a natural beauty salon. Girls don't rely on cosmetics to keep moisture. Many rivers and a lot of hot spring water, as well as a humid climate, have a natural moisturizing function. Moist air keeps the skin in a moisturizing state for a long time. Chongqing has a steep slope and steep road, and it is necessary to climb the slopes and climb the hurdles everywhere. It is impossible to exercise, which has created a good figure and bodybuilding vitality for Chongqing girls. This kind of natural bodybuilding does not need to lose weight and does not worry about hair. Chongqing women are the most attractive women in the world. Beautiful women like clouds are a beautiful landscape in Chongqing.

Third, the city of passion-honest and frank, a native of Chongqing, and his generous personality

(1) People's personality is urban style, and honest and frank is generous and magnificent. Chongqing lives in Bayu Mountain, and its character is branded with the natural landforms of mountains and rivers. The regional characteristics have caused the heroic and generous personality of Chongqing people: mountains and rivers make Chongqing men passionate and tough and heroic, and their daughters are tender and heroic; The climate and environment have shaped Chongqing people's vigorous temper: the air here is moist, the days are moist, and water can come out with a pinch. The sun here is hot and the temper is hot, and it can burn at a little. The humanistic tradition determines that Chongqing people have an indomitable spirit of struggle in their veins: when Mongolian fighters swept across Europe and Asia, the Yuan army went down to Sichuan, ready to seize Chongqing, and then went down the river to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, but unexpectedly, after fighting in Chongqing for 36 years, it was impossible to attack again and again, and finally Khan Mengge, who was called the "whip of God" of Europeans, died in the fishing city with a grudge. Chongqing Fishing Town has become a place to rewrite world history. (In July, 1259, Mongolian Khan Mungo died in Fishing City, which created a vacuum in Mongolia's supreme power. As a result, various Mongolian fighters who invaded Europe on a large scale and arrived in Moscow fought for the position of Khan, so that the history of Europe could develop as we all know now. Honest and frank, a native of Chongqing, is famous all over the country for his boldness. The word "Xiongqi" roared by Chongqing fans is a male cry, which reflects a kind of masculinity and reflects the urban style, that is, "Male Chongqing". The favorite saying of Chongqing people is "honest and frank". "honest and frank" is synonymous with integrity, sincerity, decisiveness, fairness, non-hypocrisy, and non-affectation among the population in Chongqing. These meanings all come from Chongqing people's generous and strong character, rough and tenacious, optimistic and open-minded, upright and righteous, tenacious and brave, hard-working, enthusiastic and hardworking. "Zaier" is the most typical dialect in Chongqing, which generally refers to Chongqing people who are full of vigor and personality. "Chongqing Zaier" is the recognition and praise of Chongqing people everywhere. Chongqing is a typical immigrant city. There have been six great immigrants in history, and only two in modern history: during the Anti-Japanese War, heroes from all walks of life gathered here, bringing together a large number of enterprises that moved in, "Third Line Construction" (from 1964 to 1978, a large-scale national defense, science and technology, industry and transportation infrastructure construction was carried out in 13 provinces and autonomous regions in central and western China under the guidance of combat readiness, which was called Third Line Construction). The ancestors of Bayu people, such as clan culture of villagers' villages and towns, gang culture of water people's wharf, secular culture of citizens' metropolis, and the comprehensive effects of various cultures, such as the comprehensive immigrant culture accompanying the capital during the Anti-Japanese War, the immigrant culture in third-line enterprises, and the open immigrant culture of Chongqing directly under the central government, have formed the broad and inclusive character of Chongqing people's hospitality, openness and novelty, and acceptance of all corners of the country. Therefore, Chongqing people have a very open mind, and Chongqing city has a very open atmosphere, which leads to the city's magnanimity, passion and infinite tension.
