Chongming District, Administrative district at the Yangtze River mouth, Shanghai, China
Chongming District encompasses three alluvial islands spanning 1,413 square kilometers, with Chongming, Changxing, and Hengsha forming the northernmost section of Shanghai.
The territory originated from two separate shoals during the Tang Dynasty, with the first settlement established in 705 AD before becoming a prefecture under Kublai Khan.
The district maintains its agricultural heritage through modern green farming practices while transforming into an ecological development zone with technology parks and marine industries.
Transportation connections include the Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel and Chongqi Bridge, linking the islands to mainland Shanghai and Jiangsu Province.
The district contains the largest estuarine alluvial island worldwide, featuring deep water coastlines that accommodate vessels up to 300,000 tons.
