Eling Park, situated in the Yuzhong District of Chongqing, China, is a renowned public park offering panoramic views of Chongqing's urban landscape. Covering an area of approximately 100,000 square meters, this hilly landform was originally named Edingling due to its resemblance to a goose's neck. Eling Park was established in the late Qing Dynasty and became Chongqing's first official public park in 1958. What makes Eling Park unique is its vantage point for overlooking the Yangtze River and Jialing River, providing visitors with breathtaking vistas that encompass the merging of these two great rivers. The park features beautiful gardens, traditional pavilions, and pathways that meander through a verdant landscape. It's also home to historical assets like the Eling Pavilion, which was originally built by Li Yaoting, a prominent British businessman. Additionally, the park boasts a multitude of cultural relics and an observatory that was constructed in 1909, which is the first and oldest one in western China. Visitors can explore its rich cultural heritage while enjoying the serene natural environment.
