Eling Park — Attraction in Chongqing

Wonderful city park with stunning city views. It's worth the climb up through it passing the landscaped lakeside, various monuments & sculptures, to go up the hilltop tower. The sight of this majestic city is awe inspiring.

The tourist panel says :

"The predecessor of Kansheng Tower was Liangjiang Pavilion, which was built in 1984. Constructed with heavy investment, with an altitude of 380 metres and towering geese. At the top of the mountain. the building is 41.50 metres high and is a seven story tower. The building offers layered views. Climbing up to overlook Shenglou. Looking down at the layered highways, they spiral upwards, with a stunning view. Looking around, you can see the Jiangbei District and Yuzhong within a radius of tens of miles of Districts, Nan'an District, Shapingba District, Jiulongpo District, and Ben. The continuously flowing Yangtze River and Jialing River can be seen in full view. It is also a way to appreciate the three-dimensional mountain city and enjoy the scenery. The excellent place to enjoy the scenery and night view of the mountain city. Ascending the stairs, one suddenly feels the desire to be poor for thousands of miles. The feeling of reaching a higher level. At the entrance of the ground floor of the building on both sides of the goalposts, there are hanging pillars covering Chongqing. A 274 word couplet on natural scenery and cultural history. The couplet of Chongqing Goose Ridge overlooking Shenglou adds even more to this. The cultural connotation and ornamental charm...

come after sunset to see best of Chongqing. Find the Pagoda near the North end of park, go to the top of it (ticket costs 5 yuan per person) and ge the fascinating view of city between Yangtzi and Jialing river. Just Amazing 360 degree view. The Pagoda is working till 5 pm and opens again at evenings, close time at 10pm. I would recommend you to visit park at 8pm for perfect nightview. Also spring, summer time are more beautiful, because winter in Chongqing is generally foggy, so you would not get same effect. Also near pagoda you would find a small beautiful garden full of tullips, roses. Closing time for garden is 5 pm. On West end of park you can see old mansion and pools which belonged to Qing dynasty era minister, beginning of XX century. Easiest way to reach Eling Park is by subway (CRT) Eling Station, take exit Eling Park after go up stairs, turn right keep going until you will find it, otherwise you can ask locals they are more than friendly to help you show the way. Otherwise take a taxi, Metro closes generally about...

Visited in December 2024 (temperature about 6 degrees celcius)

Arrive at Eling station on line 1, then take a short 10 minute uphill walk to the entrance. admission is free💯 Go up the stairs up the hill to the pagoda where you can take the iconic pictures there

I recommend going just before sunset to be able to enjoy the warm glow of the sunlight cascading onto the city. Generally not a very touristy place so don’t worry about crowds

Toilets are available in the park. While i’m there it got very windy and i froze so badly i dropped my phone thrice, so prepare accordingly if going in winter. the visibility that day was very bad but the view is still worth it

Vibe is really nice there. A must visit place if you are...
