CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- In addition to the construction of towns on mountains and peculiar landform, strange place names are another feature of Chongqing. Do you know the origins of those interest places names in Chongqing?

Yiwanshui, Yubei District

It is said that a family was living there lonely and alone. The passers-by would ask for a bowl of water from the people living there. As time passes, people are used to call this place “Yiwanshui”, which literally means a bowl of water.

Lianglukou, Yuzhong District

It is called Lianglukou (literally, the junction of two roads) because of the confluence of Zhongshan 3rd Road (up from Shangqingsi) and Zhongshan 2nd Road (down from Jiefangbei) into one road leading to Jiulongpo District and Shapingba District (Changjiang Road).
