Chongqing has a complete network of highways, of which the most magnificent one is the Binjiang Highway. Consisted of the following three models (namely, the highway from the Jialing River to Binjiang River; the highway from the Yangtze River to the Binjiang River and the Tunnel at Chaotianmen), a 10-thousand-metre-long ring road encircles the urban district of Chongqing. 

Chongqing is a hill city. The central part of the city is located on a penisula-shaped ridge, commanded by Loquat Hill and Eling Ridge; it is overlaid with buildings climbing the hills and roads snaking their way among the hill. 

With Chaotianmen in the east and Futuguan in the west, the terrain gives an altitude difference of as many as 220 meters, the lowest being 160 meters above sea level and the highest, 360 meters above sea level. Hence the saying 'Nine Gates and Eighteen Ladders' handed down from the ancient times. And now, there appear the automatic ladders and telphers in many important places. 

Besides, there are bridges linking the connection between the opposite banks of the river and the city proper, including Number One Bridge, Number Two Bridge, Li Family Bridge, Lesser Southern Sea Bridge, Yellow Garden Bridge, Niujiaoduo Bridge, Stone Gate Bridge, Chaoyang Bridge, and several other new bridges.

Not a single bicycle is seen on the street of Chongqing and in its place there emerge numerous motorbikes and the Alto-branded taxis. Chongqing citizens called these taxis as 'Turche,' it is simply because they could bring you to any place in this mountain city, fast and cheap. 

'The Army of Bamboo-Poles' (Bang Bang Jun) is an extraordinary spectacle on the street of Chongqing. Coming from the suburbs of this mountainous city, they are the peasants with a bamboo-pole on their shoulder, serving as a porter and soliciting customers while standing on the wharf or street corner. They are glad to provide their service at your call and, what's more, their attitude is always quite favorable.
