A Millennium Pier at the Confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, offering a spectacular view of “Two Rivers Meeting, Three Mountains Standing Tall.” The core scenic area centers around Jiatianmen Square, with a giant “Jiatianmen” sculpture standing prominently, symbolizing Chongqing’s “Mountain City” at its peak. A winding riverside path offers panoramic views of the south’s modern skyline and the Ming and Qing architectural group of Longmen Hao Lao Street, while the Yangtze cableway provides a breathtaking perspective on “Two Rivers Meeting, One Bridge Spanning.” As a vital ancient trade route for “Sichuan Salt to Chu,” Jiatianmen was once a bustling commercial center. During the Qing Dynasty, poet Yang Shen wrote, “At Jiatianmen, where the two rivers meet, countless ships and carriages pass through,” capturing its prosperity. The late Qing official Zhang Zhidong used the Jiatianmen pier as a starting point to promote Chongqing’s opening to the world. This location is not only a geographical coordinate but also a living museum of Ba Yu (Chongqing) civilization, with the echoes of ancient merchant ships and poets’ verses still carried on the river breeze.
