Yonglongshan Forest Park

　　    Yonglong Mountain is situated in the Yonglong Mountain Range to the west of Nanchuan District, Chongqing, in an area where urban and rural zones meet. It lies just 3 kilometers from downtown Nanchuan and is closely connected to the city’s new urban district. The mountainous region around Yonglong Mountain features lush vegetation and fresh air, serving as a natural oxygen bar. It is an ideal testing ground for exploring new models of integrated urban-rural development in peri-urban areas, as well as a prime location for building a model livable urban district.

　　    Covering an area of 33.7 hectares, Yonglongshan Forest Park features an entrance plaza with 30,000 square meters of landscape space, where green trees and lawns are interspersed.

　　    Additionally, 20,000 square meters of vibrant seasonal flower fields spread across the plaza, creating a beautiful contrast between green foliage and colorful blooms. Key attractions include a 4.5-kilometer hiking trail, which takes about 20 minutes to reach the mountaintop. At the summit, visitors can enjoy the fresh air of a 280,000-square-meter expanse of pristine forest. Climbing to the mountaintop also offers access to eight scenic pavilions, including Yonglong Pavilion, where visitors can take in panoramic views of the entire city of Nanchuan. Other amenities scattered throughout the park include an 8,000-square-meter Jade Lake, basketball courts, badminton courts, and a children’s playground. Supporting facilities such as a star-rated hotel and a reception center are currently under construction.

　　    Yonglongshan Forest Park is the first initiative of the “Five Major Projects in One City” within the Yonglongshan Eco-New Town, which also includes high-end residential communities, a five-star hotel, a golf driving range, an ethnic-style commercial street, and a modern sightseeing agriculture destination. The park is completely free and open to the public, providing local residents with a great nearby destination for eco-tourism, sightseeing, fitness, and recreation.
