Die Hintergrundgeschichte
Chaotianmen was the historic river gateway and port controlling trade. Today, this massive capital investment symbolizes Chongqing's aggressive repositioning as a global megacity.
Geheimtipp
"Use this area as a geographic orientation point. Standing at the plaza where the muddy, yellow Yangtze meets the blue-green Jialing River clarifies exactly why the city developed defensively upward, hemmed in by water."
