CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- 24 years ago, Chongqing became a municipality directly under the central government. Peng Shiliang, 72, a native of Chongqing, used 100,000 photos to record his affectionate confession to the city. We have sorted out and selected 7 groups of photos, and you can feel the transformation of this city via these photos of great changes.

Taking photos under the Liberation Monument is a must for many tourists visiting Chongqing. Nowadays, row upon row of tall buildings have replaced the low buildings that used to be, and they have become the tag of this land with each passing day. The only constant is the Jiefangbei (which means Liberation Monument), a symbol of victory.

Without photos, it would be hard for us to believe that Linjiangmen has changed so much from “low, shabby and small houses” to tall buildings.

From the shabby wooden stilted buildings by the river to a famous scenic spot showing the terrain of Mountain City, Hongyadong proves the charm of the city with its bright magic.

In Jiangbeizui, ferries used to be the busiest on the river, while now cruise ships full of tourists are the busiest.

From a small fishing village to an important cargo port in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and then to the home port of international cruise ships in the future, Cuntan is bound to surprise you.

How great is the “posture” of a city? This skyline on Nanbin Road can tell you the answer.

From the “isolated” “bridge flying from north to south” to the dazzling Huangjuewan Overpass which is jokingly called “the most complex overpass in the world” by netizens, it is a development miracle created by the Mountain City. (Translated by Zhang Ying, Fathom Language Limited)
