Guanyin Gorge National Forest Park

　　   Guanyin Gorge National Forest Park is situated in the central part of Beibei District, Chongqing, within the urban area of Beibei, at the southern section of the Guanyin Gorge anticline. The park is composed of three scenic areas—Zhangfei Ridge, Jigong Ridge, and Fenghuang Ridge—located on both sides of the Jialing River in the Guanyin Gorge. It currently features 10 natural attractions and 11 cultural and historical sites. The park boasts magnificent forests with rich seasonal colors, vast bamboo groves, and ancient, towering trees. It is home to macaques calling through the gorge and egrets soaring overhead. Long ridges stretch across the landscape with emerald peaks, while the Guanyin Gorge itself is rugged, steep, and stunningly beautiful, showcasing a wealth of karst landform features with vividly shaped, fantastic rocks and cliffs. The sunrise and sunset glow brilliantly, the moonlight and snow present a serene beauty, and the misty clouds create a dreamlike spectacle. The mighty Jialing River connects two mountain ranges, mountain streams rush down with cascading waterfalls and springs, Longju Flat Lake paints a poetic scene, and scattered mountain ponds look like scattered pieces of jade. There are numerous historical and cultural relics along Zhangfei Path, Tianfu Stockade, and Zhuxian Gate, as well as rich religious heritage at Longche Temple, Daoming Temple, and Guanyin Pavilion. Landmarks such as Chaoyang Bridge, the Xiangyu Railway Bridge, and the Suiyu High-Speed Railway Bridge reflect the region’s historical transformations. The picturesque scenery of the Jialing River, the urban landscape of Beibei, and the surrounding rural vistas provide naturally beautiful borrowed views.
