Secret Night View Spot Only Known to Old Chongqing Residents

Night Tour at E'ling Park

If you've already admired the night view of Hongya Cave, let me recommend another Chongqing night view spot that only old Chongqing residents know about: E'ling Park. It's not only less crowded but also offers a stunning view of the two rivers and four banks from Kan Sheng Lou.

💡 Night Tour Tips
✅ Hidden Route: E'ling Second Factory → South Gate of the Park → Kan Sheng Lou → Tongxuan Stone Room. Personally tested, a 30-minute one-way route.
✅ The soon-to-open E'ling Park Suspended Walkway will undoubtedly become the next viral attraction once completed.
✅ Half-mountain cliffside hike: You can hike from E'ling Park to → Fotuguan's "Train to Spring" → Guanyue Temple, enjoying the mountain city's scenic beauty.
