Eling Park, meaning "Goose Ridge," sits atop the highest point of the Yuzhong Peninsula. It began in 1909 as the private garden of wealthy salt merchant Li Yaoting — one of Chongqing's most elegant estates of the late Qing era. During World War II, when Chongqing was China's wartime capital, the hilltop hosted foreign embassies — including Australia's first diplomatic mission in China — and even served as a residence for Chiang Kai-shek. Opened to the public in 1958, it's now the best vantage point in the city to see both the Yangtze and Jialing rivers at once — history and breathtaking views in one place.

Then, confront the city’s verticality at the Crown Grand Escalator. As the second-longest escalator in Asia, it plunges 112 meters deep at a steep 30-degree angle. This isn't just a ride; it’s a vital public transport link. The dizzying descent into this Soviet-style tunnel offers a visceral reminder of how Chongqing’s terrain shapes daily life.

Just a 20-minute walk from here is Jiefangbei — Chongqing's most iconic landmark. This 27.5-meter monument, built in 1947, is China's only national memorial dedicated to the victory in the War of Resistance. Today it stands at the heart of Chongqing's busiest CBD, surrounded by gleaming skyscrapers and luxury malls — a striking contrast of history and modernity. We'll stroll the pedestrian square, snap some photos, and stop by the chocolate factory and the Miniso flagship store along the way.
