Chongqing is the city where the two great rivers of China, namely the Yangtze and Jialing meet. Giving a splendid view of this intersection is the Chongqing Chaotianmen. While most of Chongqing has developed into a modern city with high-rise buildings, it still maintains its connection with nature through this place where one can appreciate the ceaseless beauty of these rivers.

Chongqing Chaotianmen is a wharf area with boats and cruises decked along its shores. It offers two main experiences which are –

• The Big Market with its local trade shops close to the riverbank road
• The boat trips and cruise rides

The Chaotianmen is the perfect place to spend a leisurely evening in Chonqing. The market place has anything and everything from fruits, kites, jewellery, clothes to Chinese souvenirs. One can enjoy a relaxing stroll along the river or simply relish a cup of coffee by the wharf.
