Chongqing's Ancient City Wall


Like their medieval counterparts in Europe, Chinese cities surrounded themselves with massive walls for defensive purposes. Only about 200 metres of Chongqing's ancient city wall remains, but it's a pretty cool place. We were there early in the morning so happily there weren't many people around. The ancient stones contrast with the modern high rise buildings surrounding the wall.
