In the early Ming Dynasty, Dai Ding expanded the old city of Chongqing, and built 17 gates according to the number of nine palaces and eight diagrams, the largest of which was Chaotianmen.
The original book on the door was written in four big characters: "Xiongguan in Ancient Chongqing".
Therefore, the gate faces the Yangtze River in the east and Nanjing, the capital of Tian Zi, where it meets the imperial mission and accepts the imperial edict, hence the name "Chaotianmen".
189 1 year, a commercial port was established in Chongqing, and the customs was located in Chaotianmen.
1927 due to the construction of Chaotianmen Wharf, the old city gate was demolished.
1949' s "9.2" fire turned the area 2 kilometers near Chaotianmen into ruins. Since then, only the wall of the city base has been left in Chaotianmen.
Today's Chaotianmen Passenger Terminal, the magnificent Chaotianmen Square, is an excellent place to overlook the intersection of the two rivers and have a panoramic view of the scenery along the river.
On the left side of Chaotianmen, Jialing River receives a trickle and flows into Ogawa, with a longitudinal flow of 1 1 19 km, where it joins the Yangtze River.
Every early summer and mid-autumn, the green Jialing River water collides with the brown Yangtze River water, and the whirlpool rolls and is crystal clear, forming a "horse water" landscape as spectacular as a runaway wild horse.
On the right is the Yangtze River. After being submerged by Jialing River, its momentum is getting bigger and bigger. It flows through the Three Gorges and Jianghan, spilling thousands of miles and becoming the "golden water section" on the Yangtze River.
