City Description
CloseChongqing, an economic and cultural hub in southwest China
After the Nationalist regime of Chiang Kai-shek were pushed out during a Japanese military offensive, the capital cities of Nanjing and Wuhan were lost one after another during war time. As such, a temporary capital city was established in secluded Chongqing. After the reform and opening of China, the Chinese government focused on Chongqing. Chongqing was promoted as a directly controlled municipality in early 1997 and is now the nation’s fifth largest city after Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangzhou, as well as the economic and cultural center of southwest China. The city was named after the phrase shuāngchóng xǐqìng, which means “one happy event after another.” It is also referred to as a mountain fortress, due to its position on a hill with many slopes. In addition, Chongqing is home to the last provisional government building of the Republic of KOrea, which waged an anti-Japanese war along with the Chinese Kuomintang government.
