CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Have you ever paid attention to sculptures scattered here and there in Chongqing, though being a travel enthusiast? On April 26th, Chongqing Sculptures Map, a presentation of 60 native representative sculptures in Chongqing, was released by the Chongqing Urban Planning Bureau and Chongqing Geographic Information Center. It aims to provide you with an insight into Chongqing’s rich history through delicate sculptures.

Chongqing’s natural landscapes, harmoniously mixed with mountains, and waters as well as humanistic ones, shaped by northern and southern cultures, gave rise to sculptures of all styles. Totally different shapes and messages differentiate them from each other: Endless River is a vivid artistic representation of rivers flowing perennially on this land. Rushing Forward expresses the brave fighting spirit. Four Seasons depicts the interminable cycle of natural seasons and the eternality of something inherent. However, behind the differences in their forms is the common pursuit of the brave Chongqing spirit, the common pride in generations of luminaries, and the common appreciation of natural beauties.
