Chongqing is the biggest city in China. It's located deep in the centre of the country, though is traditionally classed as being in the west. To the north, Chongqing borders the province of Shaanxi. To the east lie Hubei and Hunan provinces. Guizhou is to the south and the province of Sichuan lies to the west. Chongqing straddles the confluence of two major rivers, the Jialing and the Yangtze. Though completely landlocked and surrounded by mountains, the rivers have made Chongqing a key centre for trade within China. The city was part of Sichuan province until it became a municipality on March 14th, 1997. Thus Chongqing became one of only four cities in China to have the status of municipality. This city has seen rapid growth over the last decade. The building of the Three Gorges Dam, several hundred killometres downstream from Chongqing, saw a large number of people relocated into the city. The population of the city is estimated to be 31,442,300 (2007) potentially making Chongquing the largest city in the world.
