History
Merger with Yunnan Hongta
See also Yunnan Hongta
In 2003 Chongqing Lifan was relegated and the club decided to buy Yunnan Hongta with the merger allowing the club to remain in the top devision. The former Chongqing Lifan team became the new formed Hunan Xiangjun club that was relegated from the second division Jia League.
Despite finishing bottom for both the first and the second season of the CSL, they still participated in the 2006 season as relegation had been cancelled for the first two seasons. However, in 2006, they finished last again and were finally relegated for 2007. Their best ever finish in the old First Division was fourth.
As recently as 2002, Chongqing Lifan participated in Asian Cup Winner's Cup, but lost to Al Sadd. Anyang Cheetahs defeated Chongqing in the previous year. Wei Xin was Chongqing's best player.
