Stories Set in Chongqing — top stories

Built on steep hills above two great rivers, Chongqing is a foggy city of stairs, bridges and river docks. Its role as China's wartime capital from 1937 to 1945 packed officials and refugees into shelters and cliff paths, which left a legacy of crowded refuge and resistance tales. Chongqing Hot Pot and Hitman 3 both unfold in that vertical river town. Open Chongqing on the StoryTerra map and filter its stories by any era.
