Chongqing Transportation
Chongqing is the biggest inland river port in western China. Historically, most of its transportation, especially to eastern China, is via the Yangtze River.
According to Chongqing Municipal Government's ambitious plan in May 2007, Chongqing is going to invest 150 billion RMB in 13 years to finish 513 km of underground/light track system. A transportation network will consist of 9 straight and 1 circular line. However, only one light track line of 19km (Chongqing lightrail line 2 project 1) was finished (2005).
Chongqing is linked to other provinces and cities through several railways and highways, including:
RAILWAYS:
* Chongqing-Chengdu (Sichuan province) railway
* Chongqing-Guiyang (Guizhou province) railway
* Chongqing-Xiangfan (Hubei province) railway
* Chongqing-Huaihua (Hunan province) railway
* Chongqing-Suining (Sichuan province) express railway
* Chongqing Wanzhou-Yichang (Hubei province) railway (under construction)
* Chongqing-Lanzhou (Gansu province) railway (under construction)
HIGHWAYS:
* Chongqing-Chengdu highway
* Chongqing-Wanxian highway
* Chongqing-Guiyang highway
Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, located north of Chongqing, provides links to most parts of China and to other countries.

Chongqing
Chongqing (simplified Chinese: 重庆; traditional Chinese: 重慶; pinyin: Chóngqìng; Postal map spelling: Chungking; Wade-Giles: Ch'ung-ch'ing) is the largest and most populous of the People's Republic of China's four provincial-level municipalities, and the only one in the less densely populated western half of China. Formerly (until 14 March 1997) a sub-provincial city within Sichuan Province, the municipality of Chongqing has a registered population of 31,442,300 (2005). The boundaries of Chongqing municipality reach much further into the city's hinterland than the boundaries of the other three provincial level municipalities (Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin), and much of the municipality, which is roughly the size of Austria, is rural. The population of the urban area of Chongqing proper was 4.1 million in 2005.
The municipal abbreviation, 渝 (Yú), was approved by the State Council on 18 April 1997. Chongqing was also a municipality of the old Republic of China. Its abbreviated name is derived from the old name of a part of the Jialing River that runs through Chongqing and feeds the Yangtze River.
