About this place

Asia's largest and the world's third largest open urban park, with a 2.4-kilometer dead-straight central axis boulevard — an act of geographical defiance in a city defined by impossible terrain, where a genuinely flat expanse of grass is its own kind of anomaly.

Drifter says

"In a city of permanent uphill and downhill, standing on a completely flat lawn and thinking nothing is its own form of liberation. Bring a skateboard or frisbee and feel the pure joy locals experience when confronted with this much flat ground. Chongqing people joke that as soon as the sun comes out, the grass starts growing Chongqing people. After walking, head west to Joy City or east to The Ring for food — ideal for a relaxed sunny day."
