Chongqing Wanxian County
- The city received its present name during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), and became a foreign Treaty Port in 1902. As the halfway city between Yichang and Chongqing, Wanxian was a main port for East Sichuan merchandise (including large quantities of tung oil, used in treating wooden junks.)
- Early travelers commented on the huge number of junks anchored at Wanxian. The city is known as the Gateway to East Sichuan. You may visit silk-weaving factories and the Three Gorges Museum and enjoy the exiting acrobatic show and take a leisurely tour of busy local market. Visitors can see city's ten free markets sells local produce and seasonal delicacies such as mountain mushrooms or live eels. There was a community of foreign missionaries in Sichuan before 1949, and two churches -one Catholic and one Protestant-continue to draw sizeable congregations of country folk.
