Tieshanping Forest Park
铁山坪
A national forest park northeast of downtown Chongqing, with dense woodland and fresh air. It is ideal for hiking and cycling, and a popular weekend escape from the heat for local residents.
Tieshanping Forest Park is in the eastern part of the Liangjiang New Area (Jiangbei District). It sits at an elevation of about 580 meters, with high forest coverage, and is several degrees cooler than the city in summer. The park has forest trails, cycling paths, viewing platforms, a campsite and farmhouse restaurants. In the evening you can look out over the Yangtze and the urban area. Entry is free, though some activities charge fees. It is about 40 minutes by car from downtown. You can also take Metro Line 4 to Tieshanping Station and then transfer to a bus or take a taxi up the mountain.
