With the Chongqing Geographic Information Center, the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Planning and Natural Resources has issued the Map of Local Special Goods in Chongqing, which allows you to know the features of districts and counties in Chongqing at a short time.

The unique features of a local environment always give special characteristics to its inhabitants. Intangible cultural heritage, local specialties, and delicious food of each district and county have become the important local features. Part of which, we are familiar but others, are strange.

In addition, Chongqing is rich in natural resources, among them, the bamboo in Chongqing is typed into three categories. Nanchuan is called the “Home of Chimonobambusa Quadrangularis in China”, Rongchang is the “Home of Dendrocalamus Latiflorus in China", and Liangping is the “Home of Phyllostachys Bambusoides f. Shouzhu in China”. Local special goods can endow symbolic features to their own place and give the characteristic industry signboard for local propaganda, becoming high-quality products and super-quality brands.
