Taibaiyan Park
太白岩
A city cliff where Li Bai is said to have studied. It bears rock inscriptions from the Tang and Song dynasties onward, and the summit offers a panoramic view of Wanzhou on the river.
Taibai Rock lies on the west side of the city and takes its name from the legend that Li Bai once drank and studied here. The cliff face holds more than forty rock inscriptions from the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, including works by famous calligraphers such as Huang Tingjian. It is a Chongqing municipal-level cultural relic protection unit. The mountain has walking trails, pavilions and viewing platforms, making it one of the best spots to look down on Wanzhou's urban area and the Yangtze reservoir. It is also lovely at night. Admission is free. It takes about 40 minutes to climb from the old town on foot, or you can take a taxi partway up the hill.
