Getting There - next to Liziba Attractions - Eling Park #summervacation

Standing on the top of Eling hill gives a 360 degree view of the city. Indulge in winding steps down the hillside through places untraversed by others. Getting lost on one of the many abandoned paths looking over the rivers and city below is a very Chongqing thing to do. #givethanks

📍Attraction: Goose Ridge Park, formerly known as Liyuan, also known as Yiyuan, is located on Goose Ridge Street in Yuzhong District, Chongqing City. It was established in the first year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty (1909) and is 4.3 kilometers away from the center of Chongqing City. Tickets: Free Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 to Goose Ridge Metro Station and walk about 360 meters from Exit 2A to get there. Features: Goose Ridge Park was a private garden built by Li Zhanyang, a wealthy businessman in Chongqing in the late Qing Dynasty, for his father Li Yaoting. In 1958, it was officially named Goose Ridge Park and opened to the public. The main attractions in the park include Rope Bridge, Art Garden, Kansheng Tower, Hiroshima Garden, Tongxuan, Martyrs' Tomb, Three Friends Pavilion, Sunset Pavilion, Lotus Pond Corridor, etc. There are many precious ornamental plants in the park, among which there are 42 ancient and famous trees. In addition, there are also Western-style bungalow brick-wood structures such as the Goose Ridge Park Management Office, the former sites of the Australian and Turkish embassies. One of the iconic attractions in the park is the Stone Rope Bridge, which is S-shaped. The Banyan Lake is divided into two layers due to the terrain difference, and the Rope Bridge is on the upper Banyan Lake. There are two eight-character stone arches in different directions under the rope bridge. From the two sides of the bridge, the bridge holes are large and small, the lower end of the bridge's force point is embedded with stalactites, and the shape of the stone guardrail is like two thick curved ropes. Kansheng Tower, also known as Liangjiang Pavilion, is located at the northeast end of Goose Ridge Park. The tower is 41.44 meters high, with an altitude of 380 meters. It is a seven-story pagoda-style building, where you can enjoy the scenery layer by layer. The 7th floor of the top floor offers a view of the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Jialing River and the Yangtze River.

Goose Neck Park is located in Yuzhong District of Chongqing, formerly known as Yi Garden, and was the villa of Li Yaoting, the first chairman of the Chongqing Chamber of Commerce and a wealthy merchant in the late Qing Dynasty. It was built in the first year of the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty (1909), and it has been more than 110 years since then. During the Republic of China period, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling lived here, and Turkey once set up a legation here. Goose Neck Park was originally named Goose Neck Ridge, as it is situated on a steep and narrow ridge that is held between the Yangtze River and the Jialing River to the north and south, resembling the neck of a goose, hence the name. The two rivers that embrace the Chongqing peninsula are closest to each other here. It is said that Li Yan, the governor of Shu Han, once wanted to cut through the high cliffs here to connect the two rivers. Backed by the mountain city, Goose Neck Park stands tall and aloof, overlooking the two rivers to the west, and enjoys the natural scenery that is majestic, perilous, vast, and elegant. The garden landscape within the park is exquisite, located at a high point in Yuzhong District, where the Lansheng Building at the top of the mountain offers a 360-degree unobstructed view of the Chongqing urban area, especially the night view, which is particularly charming. The park has witnessed the development of Chongqing through the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, the War of Resistance, and the establishment of New China, and it is home to the 'Tree King', a Huangge tree that has been around for more than 170 years; the 'Flying Pavilion', an antique building built in the 1930s, named for its resemblance to a flying bird because it extends three halls along the pavilion; and the Australian and Danish legations established during the wartime capital period in Chongqing. Each scenic spot carries a piece of history, telling its own fascinating story.

Chongqing Night View: Type of play: City Night View When it comes to the viewing spots for Chongqing's night view, people would mention 'One Tree', 'Yi Huali', 'Qiansimen Bridge', 'Global Center', 'Jiangbeizui', etc., but in the mouth of old Chongqing people, that must be the Two Rivers Pavilion (now named 'Kansheng Tower') in Goose Neck Park. The viewing spots mentioned above, whether it's about viewing the whole scene or appreciating the details, all have the suspicion of getting a glimpse of the leopard in the tube for Chongqing's night view. Only Kansheng Tower is the only choice for truly 360° viewing of Chongqing's night view. Goose Neck Park, already famous, has been rated as 'National Key Park', 'Chongqing's Most Beautiful Park'. Its predecessor was Li Garden, also known as Yi Garden, which was the private garden of Li Yaoting, the richest man in Chongqing a hundred years ago. It combines the characteristics of Jiangnan and mountain city gardens, has a beautiful environment, and preserves a large number of architectural sites from the Anti-Japanese War period. It is located at the commanding height of 380 meters above sea level on the Yuzhong Peninsula in the main city of Chongqing, where the two rivers surrounding the peninsula are closest. After merging with Fotuguan Park, the new Goose Neck Park has increased its area to 400 acres, becoming the best place for Chongqing people to visit gardens, view the scenery of the two rivers, and enjoy the night view of the mountain city. The 'Fotu Night Rain' in Fotuguan, one of the 'Twelve Sceneries of Ancient Bayu', is also famous for Li Shangyin's 'Night Rain on Bashan Swells Autumn Pool'. Walking in the park at night, the hustle and bustle of the day is long gone. Under the warm light, it is quiet and peaceful. The attractions 'Rope Bridge, Lotus Pond, Flying Pavilion, Art Flower Garden, Tongxuan Stone Room, Cliff Corridor' are decorated in a dreamy and confusing way, which is a different mood compared to the daytime. The brightest star in the night sky is of course the Kansheng Tower in the park. It stands tall on the top of Goose Neck, towering nine stories high. Without having to climb to the top, almost every floor can overlook the two rivers with a 360-degree full view, enjoying the night view of Chongqing.
