Extended data:
Chaotianmen is the hub of the two rivers and the largest water pier in Chongqing. Since ancient times, the river has been full of sails, boats are shuttling, docks along the river are dense, and pedestrians are like ants.
There are many streets and lanes on both sides of the door along the river. Although most of them are shacks and diaojiao buildings, they are also bustling and prosperous. The streets and alleys inside the gate are full of traffic, so this area is still the most prosperous commercial wholesale and retail area in the city until today.
However, in ancient times, the main function of Chaotianmen was what people called "welcoming officials and receiving saints", that is, important officials from higher levels came to Chongqing, or the emperor had imperial edicts and imperial edicts to Chongqing, and all of them docked at Chaotianmen Wharf, and local officials also greeted Chaotianmen Wharf, which is also the reason why Chaotianmen was named.
