What travelers say:

Yuzhong District, as the mother city of Chongqing, can be regarded as the characteristics of the mountain city are fully explained: the bridge across the two rivers, the trail of the roundabout, and the buildings built by the trend. And the seven stars in Yuzhong District, is a place where even the name is full of stories, belonging to the mysterious legend here, always mentioned in people's casual gossip. In the seven star post, among the many modern high-rise buildings, you will find a different temperament, several quiet old buildings, instantly attracted the attention of visitors. Historical relics like this are scattered in the Yuzhong Peninsula, an ancient city wall, a hero, an old street, is the beacon of this long time, will be a long history of the past about the seven stars, people often say: the seven stars are not called the seven stars, but should be called the seven stars tank. Although Chongqing at that time sat on two rivers, but the people still had inconvenienced water, not to mention the Qixinggang in the middle, even the daily water needs to be specially arranged for pickers to climb the slope after taking water from the river. In the old days, most houses in Chongqing were bamboo and wooden hanging buildings. When the sky was dry, fires often occurred. In the late Qing Dynasty, in order to prevent fires, local officials chiselled seven stone fire water tanks, in the shape of Beidou, placed in the city on the right side of Tongyuanmen for fire rescue. Why should it be placed as a Big Dipper? Because the North is in the north, the North represents water in the five lines, and the shape of the Big Dipper is placed in the water tank to mean water and fire. Since then, people have used the seven-star cylinder to borrow fingers to the surrounding area. Later, people thought the cylinder word too tacky, and Tongyuanmen area is located in the Wufu Palace area of the Chongqing city commanding heights, so changed the cylinder to the post, there is a place name that has been used to date Qixinggang.
