About this place

A well-preserved urban park in old Yuzhong, with the Red Star Pavilion at its highest point and old teahouses scattered throughout.

Drifter says

"Ten minutes up the main path brings you to the Red Star Pavilion — one of the highest points in Yuzhong, with both rivers visible in a single frame. It's all uphill; in summer heat this is a genuine test of endurance, so early morning or evening is the smarter call. Almost no tourists make it up here. Find a teahouse with gaiwan tea, sit down, and listen to the regulars talk in rapid Chongqing dialect. You won't understand a word, and that's exactly the point."
