Chongqing Dock Culture

With a lot of docks along the river, busy business boats, and 
throngs of travelers, Chongqing has always been the water 
transportation hub at the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. 
Inter-mingling the city culture of Shuzhong (middle of Sichuan),
 the southwest China, and even the whole Yangtze River area, 
the dock culture has been cultivated based on the unique local 
culture of Chongqing.

The dock culture of Chongqing mainly consists of Paoge culture 
and Teahouse culture. The Paoge culture comes from the influence 
of the Jianghu brotherhood advocated in such secret folk organizations 
as Gelao Society, Tiandi Society, and Paoge Society.

Furthermore, Shu embroidery, Longmenzhen, the Chongqing 
dialect, and Sichuan dishes also represent Bayu culture. Such 
special Bayu culture has fostered the rich civilization for the 
land of Chongqing.
