pinyin: chóngqìng),
formerly transliterated as Chungking,
.
-‘chongqing’ is a ‘major city’ in ‘south-west china’ and 1 (of the 5) ‘national central cities’ in ‘china’–
.
(administratively, it is one of China’s four direct-controlled municipalities (the other three are Beijing, Shanghai and tianjin), and the only such municipality in inland china)
The municipality was created on 14 March 1997, succeeding the sub-provincial city administration that was part of Sichuan Province.
Chongqing’s population as of 2015 is just over 30 million with an urban population of 18.38 million. Of these, approximately 8.5 million people live in Chongqing city proper; Fuling District, Wanzhou District and Qianjiang District are in fact cities in their own right.
According to the 2010 census, Chongqing is the most populous Chinese municipality, and also the largest direct-controlled municipality in China, and comprises 21 districts, 13 counties, and 4 autonomous counties.
(the official abbreviation of the city, Yu (渝), was approved by the State Council on 18 April 1997)
This abbreviation is derived from the old name of a part of the Jialing River that runs through Chongqing and feeds into the Yangtze River.
Chongqing was also a municipality of the Republic of China (ROC) administration, serving as its wartime capital during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945).
Chongqing has a significant history and culture and serves as the economic centre of the upstream Yangtze basin.
(it is a major manufacturing centre and transportation hub; a July 2012 report by the Economist Intelligence Unit described it as one of China’s “13 emerging megacities”)
