Wansheng District (simplified Chinese: 万盛区; traditional Chinese: 萬盛區; pinyin: Wànshèng Qū) is a former district of Chongqing Municipality, China.

In October 2011, Wansheng was merged into the much poorer Qijiang County to form the new Qijiang District.[1][2]

Wansheng is a popular tourist destination in Chongqing, attracting tourists to natural attractions such as the Black Valley and Wansheng stone forest.[3] The stone forest of Wansheng is the second largest in China.[4] Before the development of tourism, Wansheng was a major coal producing area, with up to half of coal mined in Chongqing being mined in Wansheng.[5]
