Evening scenes in Chongqing are splendid and beautiful. The city's unique geography has made it famous in China and overseas.

The city was built on the side of Xiaobashan Mountain with two rivers meeting at its foot. On the top of the mountain, you can not only enjoy the charming natural atmosphere by day, but can also enjoy the wonderful light scenes by night.

When night falls, the city is transformed into a sea of lights. Decorative lights, lanterns, roadside lamps, bridges and towers all combine to form a myriad of twinkling lights, each one representing a part of Chongqing city, past and present. The city seems to never sleep, always remaining awake and wary of the looming mountains surrounding it.
