Chongqing is the largest city in the Szechuan Province. Cresting the juncture of the Jialing and Yangtze rivers, the old section resembles a giant tiered wedding cake terraced into the mountainside. With many narrow stone lanes, stairs, caves, bridges, rising and falling streets, covered outdoor marketplace and misty pine-clad hills, Chongqing is a step into a rich historic past. At the InterContinental Hotel reservations for a Club Level Room have been confirmed for this evening. Located between the Jialing and Yangtze rivers in the center of town, the landmark building is near Chaotianmen Square, Three Gorges Museum and People’s Assembly Hall.
