About He Chuan (合川) District

He Chuan is located in the northwest of Chongqing and derives its name from the unique landscape where three rivers—the Jialin River, Qujiang River, and Fujiang River—converge. As Chongqing’s sixth satellite city, He Chuan also serves as the first station of the China-Europe Railway Express in the region.

The district boasts numerous tourist attractions, including historical sites like Diaoyu Fortress, charming ancient towns such as Laitan Town, and stunning lakes like Shuanglong Lake. Conveniently situated about 60 kilometers from Chongqing’s urban area, He Chuan is easily accessible, taking approximately one hour by car or just 35 minutes on a high-speed train, making it an excellent destination for visitors.

Getting There

• By Car: You can navigate directly to one of the tourist attractions. Note that there is a highway toll fee of approximately 40 Yuan, depending on your entry point from Chongqing’s urban area.
• By High-Speed Train: Take a train from Chongqing North Railway Station to He Chuan Railway Station, and then use a taxi to reach your final destination.

Safety Information
