Chongqing Chaotianmen 1. Historical and cultural value:- Advantages:- Chaotianmen has a long history, is one of the seventeen ancient city gates in Chongqing, carrying the historical memory of Chongqing for more than 2,300 years, its name is related to the function of ancient "welcome officials to receive the holy", with a deep historical heritage. It witnessed the development and vicissitudes of Chongqing from ancient to modern, is an important symbol of Chongqing's history and culture, and has important value for studying the urban development and historical evolution of Chongqing. For example, this was once an important place for Chongqing to open the door, and in 1891, the Chongqing Customs was established in Chaotianmen, opening a new chapter in Chongqing's foreign exchanges. - There are also relics unearthed from the East Zhou Dynasty to the ninth phase of the Republic of China. There are many historical and cultural relics and attractions around, such as the Huguang Assembly Hall, which forms a rich historical and cultural landscape group, attracting tourists interested in historical and cultural to explore. - Inadequate: During the process of urban modernization, some historical relics of Chaotianmen have been damaged or changed to a certain extent. For example, the original Chaotianmen City Tower has long disappeared, and now I see the rebuilt city gate cave, and there are some disputes over the protection and inheritance of historical and cultural history during the rebuilt process. Some literary and historical researchers believe that the newly built imitation ancient city gate and city wall are in position, There is a deviation from historical records in terms of form. 2. Landscape characteristics:- Advantages:- The two rivers meet unique landscape: Chaotianmen is located at the intersection of Jialing River and the Yangtze River, on the left Jialing River, on the right Yangtze River, the two rivers meet here, the color of the river is clear and turbid, forming a unique "Jingma Water" landscape, also known as "Hot pot", This natural landscape is rare nationwide and has a strong ornamental nature. - Rich architectural landscape: Today, Chaotianmen is surrounded by modern Raffles City, its architectural shape is unique, 8 towers facing the north of the water, looking like a huge sail from afar, with the meaning of "Sailing the sky", has become a new landmark building in Chongqing. The traditional Chaotianmen landscape is against each other, showing the unique style of the ancient and modern blend. - The night view is beautiful and charming: the night view of Chongqing is known for the beautiful scenery, and Chaotianmen is an important landmark of Chongqing, and it is especially beautiful under the night light. Whether standing on Chaotianmen Square to enjoy the night view of the lights on the other side of the river, or taking a cruise on the river to watch the night view of Chaotianmen and the surrounding area, you can feel the unique charm of Chongqing night view. - Inadequate: After the renovation, some areas of Chaotianmen Square have seen the city wall too high to block the view of the river, which has caused complaints from citizens and tourists. However, relevant departments have made rectifications to this problem, reducing the height of the wall and improving the viewing experience. 3. Business atmosphere:- Advantages:- Wholesale market boom: Chaotianmen is an important wholesale market for goods in Chongqing, there are many large wholesale markets, such as Daronghui, Yuanpai, Shengming, Dasheng, etc. The variety of goods is rich, covering clothing, leather goods, luggage and other categories, not only radiating Chongqing area, but also attracting merchants in surrounding Hubei, Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places. Whether it is wholesale or retail, it can meet different consumption.
