渣滓洞在重庆市歌乐山麓,距白公馆2.5公里。渣滓洞原是重庆郊外的一个小煤窑,是程尔昌于1920年开办的,因渣多煤少而得名。渣滓洞三面是山,一面是沟,位置较隐蔽。1939年,国民党特务逼死矿主,强占煤窑,在此设立了监狱。分内外两院,外院为特务办公室、刑讯室等,内院一楼一底16间为男牢房,另有两间平房为女牢房。
Meaning "double celebrations" in Chinese, Chongqing was built in the 11th century BC during the Zhou Dynasty. Now Chongqing is the biggest city in China in terms of area and population. Also known as "Fog City" in addition to "the Furnace," Chongqing is covered with a thick layer of fog for an average of 68 days a year, usually in spring or autumn. The fog gives the place an air of mystery.
