Chongqing - Loquat Hill Park

(Local Name: Pipashan) Loquat Hill towers to a height of 280m/920ft in the central/southern part of the Old Town, in the center of Loquat Hill Park. From here there is a superb view of the whole city. Originally privately owned, the park was opened up to the public in 1955. On the top of the hill stands an octagonal pavilion. Nearby will be found the Municipal Museum in which are exhibited many archaeological specimens discovered in the city and the surrounding countryside.
