Why is Chongqing called a mountain city?
Chongqing is called a mountain city because there are many mountains here, and the most important thing is that Chongqing is built on the mountain.

Dozens of tall buildings can be seen everywhere in Chongqing. You can go directly down to the ground in the middle of the building. Of course, you don't jump off a building or take the elevator, because there is an overpass that leads directly to the mountainside parallel to the building.

So in Chongqing, there is always an endless hillside waiting for you. In addition, the Yuzhong Peninsula in Chongqing, the mother city, is actually a convex ridge. Chaotianmen at an altitude of 168 meters, Jie Fangbei at an average altitude of 249 meters, Pipa Mountain at an altitude of 340 meters and Erling at an altitude of 400 meters are all on the Yuzhong Peninsula of 9 square kilometers. Therefore, Chongqing's "mountain city" is worthy of the name.
