Xishan Park & Clock Tower
西山公园
Built in 1930, the Xishan Clock Tower is a landmark of Wanzhou. Xishan Park, where it stands, lies along the river and overlooks the calm waters of the Yangtze reservoir.
Xishan Park is Wanzhou's oldest city park, first established in 1924. Its Xishan Clock Tower, completed in 1930, stands about 50 meters tall and was once known as the 'First Clock Tower on the Yangtze.' It is a national key cultural relic protection unit. The park follows the river, with views of the reservoir waters and Wanzhou Port. It also houses historic relics, including the Xishan Stele, inscribed by the Northern Song dynasty calligrapher Huang Tingjian. Admission is free. The park sits near Gaosuntang in the old town, within walking distance of the Three Gorges Migration Memorial and the riverside promenade, and it's ideal for an evening stroll to see the lights.
