Abstract
Based on the Expanded Chongqing with Full-map and related survey data, the coastal Chongqing space in its early opening are studied. Information about its city gates, piers, and buildings is collected and their scale, orientation, distribution, quantity, types, and geomorphic circumstances are analyzed. We conclude that the coastal Chongqing area in its early opening was composed of three different spatial levels surrounding the piers, temples, and the center gate. The piers and city gate were connected directly to integrate the entire coastal Chongqing area, which was characterized by social, ideological, and cultural features reflecting the military affairs, Feng shui (geomancy), and religious beliefs.
