About this place

The highest point on Yuzhong Peninsula, home to Chongqing's most complete classical Chinese garden — tiered pavilions, ancient trees, and still ponds that evoke the refined aesthetic of the Jiangnan tradition without leaving the mountain city.

Drifter says

"Kansheng Pavilion gives you a 360-degree view with both rivers visible in a single frame — and almost no tourists ever make it up here. Budget three to four hours and pair it with Testbed 2 and Liziba Monorail nearby; walking those three together gives you the clearest picture of what this part of Yuzhong actually is."
