Destinations of Yangtze Victoria Cruises – Chongqing Municipality

A picturesque mountain city that clings to steep cliffs located at the confluence or the Jialing River and Yangtze River. A trading capital for centuries, Chongqing Municipality was formally established in 1997 by China's central government as the nation's fourth directly-administered municipality.

Chongqing Municipality now administers a sprawling area of 82.365 square kilometers that includes 27 countries and cities, 16 districts, and a total population of nearly 29 million people, making it the largest such municipality in China. The city serves as an important economic center and vital communication and transportation hub in southwest China.

The city originally dates back over 3,000 years and it is known fell to the expanding Qin state in 316 B.C. In more recent times, Chongqing Municipality served as China's war-time capital and headquarters of Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government during the war of resistance against Japan (World War Ⅱ).

During the war, the island over which the Yangtze River Bridge is now built served as an airstrip for "The Flying Tigers"! After the war, Chiang Kai-Shek and Chairman Mao (Mao Zedong) participated in the famous "Chongqing Talks", which sought unsuccessfully to negotiate a political reconciliation between the Nationalists and the Communists.

Depending on river conditions, alternate excursions may be substituted as follows: Day 2: Wanzhou; Day 3: Shennong Stream.
