Chongqing Chaotianmen is located at the intersection of Jialing River and Yangtze River in Yuzhong Peninsula, Yuzhong District, Chongqing. It is one of the seven ancient city gates in Chongqing/KLOC-0. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the capital of the Song Dynasty was Lin 'an, which is now Hangzhou. At that time, Zhaoling arrived at Chaotianmen via the Yangtze River, hence the name Chaotianmen.
On the left side of Chaotianmen Gate, Jialing River flows into Nana Ogawa. The clear water of Jialing River collided with the yellow-brown rapids of the Yangtze River, forming a whirling, turbid and clear "horse water" landscape, as majestic as the mane of a wild horse. The Yangtze River on the right, with the water of Jialing River, has become more and more powerful. It passed through the Three Gorges, reached Jianghan, and then plunged thousands of miles. Since then, it has been called the "golden waterway" on the Yangtze River.
Chaotianmen is located at the southeast end of Chongqing Peninsula and is one of the nine gates along the Yangtze River in Chongqing. The altitude of low-water sand mouth is160m, which is the lowest in the city. Jialing River is one of the nine tributaries of the Yangtze River, where it flows into the East China Sea for thousands of miles.
Chongqing is one of the important ports in the Yangtze River, known as the "golden waterway" and the economic center city in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Every day, thousands of tourists come here to visit the majestic Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, where 10,000 tons of goods are transported.
