Located in the central area of Chongqing, where the Wujiang River merges with the Yangtze River, Fuling District has long been a major river traffic hub in the southwest Sichuan area and the largest distributing center in the Wujiang River area.

Fuling was once the capital city of the Ancient Ba Kingdom. As the Wu River is named Fu Water, and the Mausoleums (Ling in Chinese) of the Ba Kingdom's Kings are mostly built here, the place is called Fuling. Fuling is regarded as the material distributing center of the Wu River drainage area, the first city of Wu River and the gateway to Southeast Chongqing. It is the renowned 'village of preserved pickle'. For thousands of years, the historic relics together with the natural beauty of the city have made Fuling a mystery and charm all of its own.

White Crane Ridge: the Underwater Museum of White Crane Ridge is regarded as the world’s first underwater museum. White Crane Ridge is a 1,600-meter-long natural stone ridge lying beneath the Yangtze River in Fuling. The ridge is treasured for its inscriptions of hydrologic data dating from the year 763 all the way to 1963. Visitors can witness the history for themselves via 23 underwater glass observation windows at the museum.
