About Qianjiang
Qianjiang District (Chinese: 黔江区; pinyin: Qiánjiāng Qū) is a district in the southeastern part of Chongqing, China, bordering Hubei province to the east and northeast. While it is governed as a district, in practice Qianjiang is its own city proper far removed from the urban centre of Chongqing. Qianjiang is nicknamed "The Throat of Sichuan and Hubei" (川鄂咽喉) because it sits on the intersection of Sichuan-Hubei and Sichuan-Hunan Roads.

History
According to the district government, humanoid activity in the region date back to approximately 600,000 years ago.
The district government claims the area was incorporated into the Xia dynasty as Liang Prefecture (Chinese: 梁州).
During the Qin dynasty, the area was organized as Ba Commandery and Nan Commandery. The area was home to a variety of different ethnic groups at the time.
In 140 BCE, during the Western Han period, Fuling County was established under the Ba Commandery. Fuling County's government was seated in present-day Yushan, and the county governed over much of present-day Chongqing and northeast Guizhou. Circa 106 BCE, Liang Prefecture was reorganized as Yi Province, which now governed the area.
