Chongqing, Kunming and Guangzhou, what are the names of these three cities?

Another name of a city is equivalent to a city business card, which can show people the characteristics of a city. Sometimes people are interested in the nicknames of cities, such as Kunming, Spring City, Chongqing, Mountain City, Fog City, Guangzhou and Yangcheng.

Kunming is nicknamed "Spring City"

Kunming has mild seasons, neither cold in winter nor hot in summer, as if the four seasons are like spring, so it is nicknamed "Spring City". The reason why Kunming has four seasons like spring has a lot to do with its geographical location. In winter, northwest winds prevail in China. Because Kunming is located in the southwest of China, with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as a barrier, it blocks the cold air from the north. Coupled with the high terrain of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, it also effectively blocks the influence of cold air on Kunming, so the temperature in Kunming will not be too low in winter. In summer, the temperature in Kunming is relatively low because of its high altitude. In addition, Kunming also has the regulating function of Dianchi Lake, so the climate of the four seasons is more pleasant.

Chongqing is nicknamed "Mountain City" and "Fog City"

Chongqing has mountainous terrain, and many buildings are built by mountains. It can be said that the people of Chongqing can't live without mountains, so they have another name of "Mountain City". Some netizens once spoke out. When they arrived in Chongqing, they thought they were in a tall building, but they didn't expect it to be the first floor. This shows that the terrain of Chongqing is undulating, and even the subway passes through the city. This is really a very "magical" city. In addition to the nickname "Mountain City", Chongqing also has a nickname "Fog City", which means there is a lot of foggy weather.

Guangzhou is nicknamed "Yangcheng"

I once saw a joke that Guangzhou was nicknamed "Yangcheng". Is it because there are many sheep that sheep are raised everywhere? Although it doesn't make sense, Guangzhou is really not called "Yangcheng" because there are many sheep. This is actually related to a legend. According to legend, during the Zhou Dynasty, there was a constant famine in Guangzhou and the people were miserable. Until one day, five auspicious clouds suddenly appeared on the horizon, and there were five old people on them. They rode five sheep with different ears of rice in their mouths. The old man gave the ear of rice to the people of Guangzhou, and five sheep became stone sheep. Since then, Guangzhou has had a bumper harvest and people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. Since then, Guangzhou has been nicknamed "Yangcheng".
