Loquat Hill Park Last Update : 3/28/2007 10:32:08 PM In the densely populated center of Chongqing Municipality , an oasis is set in Yuzhong District. This oasis valued by locals is the Loquat Hill Park, which is reputed to be the lung of the district. Located on the Loquat Hill about 340 meters (1,115 feet) above sea level, the park is beautifully designed with forests of varied trees and exuberantly grown grass and flowers. It is said that loquats (Pi Pa) are grown throughout the hill, thus the name. From the Hongxing Pavilion, one can get a view of the whole city, especially on a resplendent night. Last Update : 3/28/2007 10:32:32 PM The park was once a private compound yard belonging to a high official of the Sichuan Government in the period of Republic of China. After the founding of the P.R.C., it was expanded into a public park. Inside the park are pavilions, corridors and ponds as well as recreational facilities and service centers dotted in the flourishing woods. The park offers people a good place to relax and take a break from their turbulent lives.
