Chaotianmen-Danzishi Wharf Ferry resumed service. 

In the 1980s, simple Chaotianmen-Danzishi Ferry Terminal carried many people’s memories.

On October 1, 2008, during the National Day holiday, many citizens took ferries at Chaotianmen Wharf. (File picture)

CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The first two hoarse “whistles” indicated that the passengers boarded the ferry, weighing anchor and setting the ferry. When the third sound came with the roar of a diesel engine, water waves were rolled up behind the ferry, then it headed to opposite bank slowly... This was a scene happened every day at Chongqing Ferry Terminal many years ago, which is a memory for old Chongqing residents. The memory is called “cross-river ferry”. The construction of river-crossing bridges was completed, making busy and slow ferry out of people’s sight, even the later generations know bridges rather ferry.

All seems to follow the rule of “reincarnation”. Now, Chongqing tourism rises suddenly. As a symbol of “the Most Chongqing”, ferry sees the light of development with the help of Chongqing tourism. On January 12, 2019, the most classic Chaotianmen-Danzishi Wharf Ferry resumed service. Maybe it’s not the ferry crossing the river but the feelings about Chongqing.
