Bachuan City
City in China, part of Chongqing municipality
Perched in Chongqing's folds, Bachuan draws visitors with steep streets, river valley views and heavy Sichuan-style food-hotpot joints and smoky tea houses. People come for province hiking trails, local markets and the odd riverside temple, less polished than Chongqing proper but more immediate.
