 Chongqing
Chongqing (formerly known as Chungking) is perhaps best known as the starting or ending point for many cruises on the Yangtze River, but it is in itself quite an interesting city. Check out the pandas (both Giant and Lesser) at the Chongqing Zoo, ride a cable car across the river or check out the great river and city view from Goose Neck Park.
