The terrain is inclined to the Yangtze River basin from north to south, with great ups and downs, showing the shape of "one mountain and one ridge" and "one mountain, one trough and two ridges". The geology is mostly karst landform, so there are many caves, hot springs, canyons and passes.

Chongqing is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Jialing River, surrounded by mountains, rivers and cities. It is famous not only as a river city, but also as a mountain city.

The earliest taxis in Chongqing can be traced back to the early 1930s. There have been "Hong Tong-Hangzhou Sailing" and "Three Flights" successively, providing a limited number of taxis. However, due to the high fares, it is impossible for ordinary people to take them.
