Lying in the Eling Mountain to the west of Chongqing City, Eling Park is known as "courteous park". It is home to a great diversity of plant species and offers spectacular views over both the Yangtze River and Jialing River from its recently built Liangjiang Pavilion. Eling Park was founded during the late period of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Originally, it was a private garden. Eling Park is a typical example of Suzhou gardens that feature pavilions, platforms, high buildings, winding paths and corridors, and lotus ponds.
