Situated at the junction of the Yangtze and
Jialing River in the northeast of Chongqing, the Chaotian
Gate (chaotianmen) overlooks the two rivers and is surrounded
by crags on three
sides. The newly built Chaotian Gate Square is the best place
to get an undisturbed view of the landscape here. Jialing
River, 1,119 kilometers in length, with dozens of brooks and
streams converging at different points, reaches the Yangtze
on the left of the Gate. In summer or autumn each year, the
green water from Jialing River mingles with the brownish yellow
water in the Yangtze, producing an unusual picture.
How to get Chaotian Gate: Take bus No.102 from
Caiyuan Ba Station and it will take you directly to the gate.
If you start from Wugongli, take bus No.382.
