Chongqing's Hidden Riverside Gem! Liangjiang Jiamei Park

Chongqing's hidden riverside gem! Liangjiang Jiamei Park lets you avoid the crowds and fully enjoy the charm of the two rivers 🌊
Tired of visiting Hongya Cave and Liziba in Chongqing? The accidentally discovered "Liangjiang Jiamei Park" is truly a riverside treasure hidden in the main city! No need to squeeze through crowds—you can sit, feel the river breeze, and watch the sunset. Even locals often come here for a stroll. Personally tested and definitely worth adding to your travel list～
🌉 Must-visit spots in the park: 3 “photogenic + healing” highlights
Panoramic view of the confluence of two rivers
The park is adjacent to the confluence of the Yangtze River and Jialing River. Standing on the riverside walkway, you can clearly see the boundary line where the two rivers—one clear and one turbid—meet. Cargo ships slowly sail across the river, and every snapshot looks like a “Chongqing-style riverside blockbuster.” At dusk, the sunset dyes the river golden-orange, and the river breeze carries the scent of grass and trees, making even daydreaming feel healing.
Popular lighthouse & riverside greenway
There is a white lighthouse in the park, perfectly paired with the river view and blue sky behind it, giving off a full Japanese vibe. Wearing light-colored clothes for photos is highly recommended (best to come around 3-4 PM when the light is soft and not backlit). Walking along the riverside greenway next to the lighthouse, one side is sparkling river water, the other side is staggered greenery and lawns. The whole walk takes about 20 minutes—easy and pleasant.
Lawn picnics & family outings
In the center of the park is a spacious lawn where many locals bring picnic mats and kites to relax. On weekends, you can even see kids chasing bubbles. If you come with children, remember to bring extra snacks and toys. Find a shady spot, watch the kids play, soak up the sun, and enjoy the river view—a perfect “slow life” experience.
🚗 Babysitter-level guide: How to get there + tips to avoid pitfalls
Transportation guide (the 2 most convenient ways tested)
By subway: Take Line 6 to "Jiuquhe Station," exit from Exit 2, then walk 10 minutes (navigate to "Liangjiang Jiamei Park South Gate," there are signs along the way, no need to worry about getting lost).
By car: Navigate directly to "Liangjiang Jiamei Park Parking Lot." Parking fee is 5 yuan/hour. Parking spaces are not very many, so it’s recommended to arrive early on weekends (usually spots available before 10 AM).
Best time to visit
Daytime (10:00-16:00): Suitable for walking, taking photos, and picnics; good lighting and clear river views;
Evening (17:00-19:00): Must-see sunset! The sunset on the river is stunning. After watching the sunset, you can wait until dark to see the lights on the opposite bank gradually turn on (the park has street lamps, so walking at night is safe).
Notes
Chongqing has strong UV rays, so be sure to apply sunscreen and wear a hat during the day. There are many mosquitoes near the lawn, so it’s recommended to bring mosquito repellent;
There are no convenience stores inside the park, so if you picnic, remember to bring your own water and food, and take your trash with you when you leave (protect the environment~);
Some sections of the riverside walkway have no guardrails, so parents with children should watch them carefully and keep them away from the river edge.
💡 Final thoughts
If you don’t want a rushed itinerary in Chongqing and want to find a place to “slow down” and enjoy the river view, Liangjiang Jiamei Park is really suitable. No need to squeeze into crowded spots or rush your time—just feel the river breeze and enjoy the scenery to experience another gentle side of Chongqing, the “mountain and water city.”
