Climb to the top of the Golden Eagle 🦅
You can do this trip as a Nanshan Botanical Gardens & Golden Eagle tour as they are located within close proximity to each other on Zhiwuyuan Road. Pro-tip- The view from the top may be breathtaking but the climb to the top is no joke 🤣- wear comfortable shoes. It's not the #greatwallofchina kind of climb but if you're not expecting it, you'll show up unprepared.
It's a lovely nature walk that gives you a chance to recharge with some cool, fresh air. There's a rest stop under a gazebo for those who are not so fit like myself😄. Not many people used it though. I might be exaggerating the climb due to my own low fitness level, so don't worry too much.
Once at the top, you can see the mountains and a lovely view of the town, especially on a not-so cloudy day. You can climb info the Golden Eagle itself, which has staircases leading to the top. Of course, they operators were thoughtful enough to include a small shop where you can but frankfurters and other snacks, as well as toys for the kids. It was nice day the top where we could get a close-up shot of the head.
Going down, I would suggest you take the steps to the right instead of use the section to the left of you have knee problems. That section has no steps and is more like a ramp. You just keep going down with no relief. It's a thoughtful plan for those in wheelchair 🤩.
Rating- I loved the facility. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Golden Eagle 🇨🇳 Chongqing
At the top of Nanshan is a Golden Eagle that you can climb up!!!
It cost 12rmb when we went and that felt pretty good value for the unbelievable view at the top.
There is a viewing platform at the base and two lookout spots on the bird too. We waited for sunset at the top of the eagle and it was 100% worth it. The sky's were pink and the city lit up after the sun had gone down.
Getting to the big golden bird is easy enough through the hiking trails in nanshan scenic area or you can take a taxi to the golden eagle gate, where you'll get your tickets.
I'd definitely recommend heading here if you have a clear day or night to take in the vast city of Chongqing 🇨🇳
