Although Chongqing Municipality is not as modern as Beijing or Shanghai, it still provides a superior shopping
environ-ment for locals and tourists alike. Rich in natural resources, Chongqing produces a great variety of local
and special products including valuable tradi-tional Chinese medicinal herbs and famous fruit, such as pears,
navel oranges, pomeloes, and persimmons. Chongqing is noted for fine quality teas as well--among the most
widely known are Chongqing Tuo Tea, Yinping Silver Needle Tea and Xinong Fur Tip Tea.
Featured Streets
Chaotianmen Marke
The Chaotianmen Market, located on East Jiefang Road, is the biggest market in Chongqing. Dealing primarily in
Garment wholesale, it is reported that goods traded in the market come from or are sold to more than 200 counties in
Sichuan, Hubei and Hunan provinces. Shoppers can expect to find stylish clothes and very reasonable prices. Still,
bargaining with the vendors in most stalls and shops will ensure a great deal!

Today, Jiefangbei is the central business district of the urban city and the center of economic development of Chongqing
