Tongliang Fuguoshan Filial Piety Culture Park

　　Chongqing Fuguoshan Filial Piety Culture Park is situated in the Bayue Mountain Range and is a comprehensive park that blends natural and cultural landscapes. The park, with a total investment of about 180 million yuan and covering an area of approximately 60 acres, broke ground in June 2015. It features themed attractions such as the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars Garden and the Filial Piety Classics Corridor, which depict traditional stories of filial piety, classic works, and famous quotes from Chinese history, encouraging people to do good deeds, uphold virtue, fulfill their filial duties, remember the kindness of loved ones, and promote mainstream socialist culture. The park also carefully crafts the “Chongqing Stories” themed landscape, recreating old Chongqing street culture such as hot pot, storytelling in teahouses, and the chants of the Sichuan River boatmen. A 20-meter-long Nine-Dragon Wall within the park, originally modeled after one of China’s three great Nine-Dragon Walls—the one in Beihai Park—is currently the largest and most exquisitely crafted Nine-Dragon relief sculpture in western China. It was hand-carved by renowned arts and crafts masters from Fujian and holds extremely high artistic value.

　　The beautiful Bayue Mountain complements the park’s Zhongling Bridge, Qifu Bridge, Tongxin Ancient Bridge, and Yuxiu Lake. The park boasts lush green lawns, blooming flowers, picturesque lake and mountain views, creating a scene straight out of a painting. Visitors to this beautiful park can also participate in interactive activities such as zodiac blessings, life-release blessings, and floating lotus lanterns, experiencing a baptism of filial piety culture, sensing the essence of Bayu culture, and learning about the connotations of folk traditions.
