Chongqing only officially became a "city" in 1927, but its strategic position at the head of the Yangtze Gorges has made it a trading capital for centuries. The "Mountain City" rises high above the Da Jiang. At Pipa San, the highest point in the city, survey the busy metropolis and riverfront below. Visit the Chongqing Museum for a fascinating look at dynastic history -- from the ancient Ba to the Eastern Han.
