A winding path leads to a secluded spot; this is the treasure park for the citizens of Chongqing

A canopy of green trees, a winding path to tranquility, this is Chongqing's treasure park—Eling Park. Eling Park is an old-brand urban park for Chongqing citizens, harboring many of their childhood memories. Not only is the scenery here beautiful, but it is also a great place to overlook the city of Chongqing. 🏔Attraction Introduction: Republic of China's diplomatic enclaves and Chiang Kai-shek's villa Originally named Liyuan, it was once the private residence of Chongqing's wealthiest man. During the Republic of China period, due to its advantageous geographical location and the beautiful scenery nearby, many foreign diplomats lived and worked here. At the same time, there were residences where Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling once lived. Today, these residences have been restored and renovated, some featuring historical exhibitions, while others serve as cafés for tourists to relax and consume. 📝Check-in Strategy: Climb to the pagoda on the top of Eling Mountain to overlook Chongqing At the highest point of the park, there is a modern pagoda building named Kansheng Tower. From this building, you can overlook the confluence of the two rivers, and the urban scenery of Jiangbei, Yuzhong, and Nanan districts is all in sight, making it an unforgettable experience. At night, you can also see the night view of the two rivers shining brightly. The main attraction is that it is now open to the public for free. Food Nearby: Special tofu rice and the nearby Factory No. 2 After visiting Eling, you can eat a special tofu rice at the entrance. This is a restaurant with a history of more than twenty years. Their food is delicious and affordable, offering not only Chongqing's special Jianghu cuisine but also authentic Chongqing home-cooked dishes. If it's summer, be sure to order the pumpkin mung bean soup. Of course, the tofu is a must-try. After the meal, it's just a few minutes' walk to the cultural and creative check-in spot—Chongqing Factory No. 2. 🚗Transportation Information Located in the core area of Yuzhong District, it is an urban park, so transportation is relatively convenient. Visitors can take the Rail Transit Line 1 to Eling Station, and after exiting, it's about 300 meters' walk to the main entrance. 📌TIPS By the way, a Cliffside Trail Park is also being constructed nearby. From the Cliffside Trail, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Chongqing along the path. The section from Shapingba to Yuzhong District has been completed, and the section to Eling Park is under construction. For tourists from other places, if time does not permit, it is not recommended to go to the Cliffside Trail.
