Southern Mountain
Southern Mountain Review
Southern Mountain is the highest point in the city, and at 935 feet it's the most popular place from which to view Chongqing. For a thousand years Nan Shan has been the route over which travelers and traders of medicine, tea, spices, and silk entered the city and headed on to Sichuan. Besides spectacular views, the following sites are also on the mountaintop:
The Chongqing Anti-Japanese War Ruins Museum is a collection of new houses built where the Nationalist Army had its headquarters during WWII. There are a few pictures and maps here, but we found the price too steep for what was offered. Y20. Daily 8:30-5:30.
- Address: Nanping District, Chongqing, 400065
- Hours: Daily 7am--11 pm
- Location: Chongqing
