[quote=JABAROOTOO ,23070]Hi Sue,Lucky you with a car. I will eventually do a peice on the wall and gates of CQ but still collecting information. The wall that is being overrun by the army of bronze is Tong Yuan Men on Zhongshan Yi Lu. From Chao Tian Men follow th Yangtze upstream about 1/2kms to Dong Shui Men. It is located just beneath the beautiful Huiguang Huiguan. Do you know the Cable car crossing? Looking back towards Chao Tian men to the left of these if you are crossing the river. another interesting gate is Qi Chu Men which has seven arches. I reakon the the name is a play on works.(7 exits - but not the same characters or meaning of course)You'll find this next to the Chongqing daily's property and beneath the road just off XinHua Lu. There is an elevator beside it which you can ride back up later. took me over a year to find this again after accidently taking it instead of the cable car on time. Big difference but it was hard to find anything in the early days.All in all there are four intact or restored gates in CQ CBD out of the original nine. there are many more in some of the small cities that have now been swallowed up in greater CQ.Let me know if this is not enough but I think you should have no trouble locating any of them.[/quote]
