On the occasion of the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism, we invite you to explore the splendid countryside of China and France in search of poetry and distant landscapes that resonate in your heart. Located on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Chongqing is the youngest municipality under the direct jurisdiction of the central government in China and is hailed as the "city of mountains." Check out the welcome message from Ran Huazhang, director of the Chongqing Municipal Commission of Culture and Tourism Development.
