Chongqing, abbreviated as Ba and Yu, also known as the Mountain City, is a municipality directly under the central government of the People's Republic of China. Chongqing is located in the southwestern part of inland China, in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, serving as a transitional zone between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the plains of the middle and lower Yangtze River. By the end of 2018, the permanent population of Chongqing was 31.244 million, covering an area of 82,402.95 square kilometers. In the first year of the Chongning era of the Northern Song Dynasty (1102), Yuzhou was renamed Gongzhou. In the 16th year of the Chunxi era of the Southern Song Dynasty (1189), in the first month, Zhao Dun, the son of Emperor Xiaozong, was first titled Prince of Gong, and in February ascended to the throne as Emperor Guangzong of Song, which was called "Double Joy", thus elevating Gongzhou to Chongqing Prefecture, and Chongqing got its name from this. Today, it is known as the World Capital of Hot Springs, the economic center, financial center, and innovation center of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as a center for politics, culture, science, education, and arts, designated by the State Council as an international metropolis. It is a comprehensive transportation hub for water, land, and air in the central and western regions.
