Yuzhong District.

Yuzhong is the peninsula at the meeting of the Jialing and the Yangtze, with water on three sides, 23.71 square kilometres and about 630,000 residents. It has been an administrative seat since 318 BC, when Qin took Ba and made Jiangzhou the seat of its commandery, and the city of Chongqing was created out of the urban part of Ba county in 1929. The ground divides into an upper and a lower city: the lower city is the shelf north of the Yangtze below the ridge that runs through Pipa Mountain, Eling and Pingding Mountain, and it holds Caiyuanba, Nanjimen and Chaotianmen. Eleven subdistricts cover the whole peninsula.
