About this place

A high-altitude park on a flat-topped hill in Shapingba offering an unobstructed wide-angle panorama of the Jialing River curving around the district — one of the most underrated free viewpoints in the city.

Drifter says

"Not many people know this viewpoint exists, which is exactly what makes it worth going. The kind of panorama that usually costs money and comes with crowds — here it's free and almost always empty. Take Metro Line 1 to Xiaolongkan Station and follow the Shengquan Ancient Trail up, or approach from Shapingba Station via the stone staircase. Either route takes 20 to 30 minutes. Come for sunset."
