Pipa Mountain Park (also known as Pipashan Park, Chinese: 枇杷山公园; literally: "Loquat Mountain Park") is a major urban park in the city of Chongqing. With an elevation of 345 meters, this park is the highest point of the Yuzhong District of Chongqing. The park used to be a private garden to Wang Lingji, the former KMT governor of Sichuan Province during Republic of China period. In 1955, the garden started to open to public as an urban park. On the top of Pipa Mountain, there is a tall pagoda called Twin River Pagoda, on top of which people can view Yangtze River to the south and Jialing River to the north. This place is one of the best sites to view the night scene of Chongqing.
