Eling Park & Eling Erchang
鹅岭公园
A garden at the highest point of Yuzhong Peninsula, next to a former printing works turned creative park. Yingsheng Tower offers views of both rivers at once, and Erchang is a film location.
Eling Park sits on the highest ridge of Yuzhong Peninsula. It was originally the private garden “Li Garden” of a wealthy late-Qing merchant, and during the War of Resistance it hosted foreign envoys. From Yingsheng Tower, you get 360-degree views of the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers and the whole Yuzhong cityscape, making it a classic viewpoint. Next door, Eling Erchang was formerly the banknote printing plant of the Central Bank in the Republican era and later became the Chongqing Printing Factory No. 2. After being converted into a creative park, it became famous as a filming location for the movie *Passing By Your Whole World*, and its rooftop is good for shots of the city skyline. Entry to the park is free (the tower charges a separate fee, check on site), and Erchang is free to enter. Walking uphill from Liziba Light Rail Station takes about 15 minutes, and the two sites can be visited together.
