Chongqing Travel Guide
China
Chongqing is a large city in south-western China, with a population of 17,340,704. Its inland location makes it an urban destination rather than a coastal beach base.
Most international and domestic air travellers arrive through Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so beach trips are not a central part of a Chongqing visit.
