ABSTRACT
Wanzhou District is located in the junction of the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the eastern edge of Sichuan Basin, and the northeast edge of Chongqing City. The region stands in the hinterland of the Three Gorges Reservoir region, 283 km away from the Three Gorges Dam. Therefore, it is a typical city in the reservoir region. The construction of the Three Gorges Dam led to the addition of 263,000 immigrants in Wanzhou District, accounting for one-”fth of the total immigrants in the Three Gorges Reservoir region, making Wanzhou a typical immigrant city. The Wanzhou region has good natural endowments and an urban landscape, characterized by the landscape pattern of “Mountains in the city, the city in the mountains, the river in the city, and the city in the river,” laying a good foundation for the development of eco-city construction.
