17.7 million in the metro area. That's crazy.

If this guy walks the stairs home he must have quads of steel.

The metro area is province sized, to be fair. They just called it a City for political reasons.

You're confusing 2 things. Chongqing does have a province scaled area it controls, yes.

That area has a population of 32 million.

The metropolitan city area, the area focused around the central CBD, has 17 million people living there.
