Nanshan Yikeshu Viewing Platform ("One Tree")
The best vantage point for a full panorama of the Yuzhong Peninsula: the platform faces the peninsula's ridge line head-on, a modern continuation of "Zishui Xiaodeng" (one of the Twelve Scenic Views of Ba-Yu); expect queues to claim a spot during the prime sunset-to-nightfall window.

The best vantage point for a full panorama of the Yuzhong Peninsula: the platform faces the peninsula's ridge line head-on, a modern continuation of "Zishui Xiaodeng" (one of the Twelve Scenic Views of Ba-Yu); expect queues to claim a spot during the prime sunset-to-nightfall window. Multi-level platforms and telescopes let you study the "embrace of two rivers" — the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers wrapping around the peninsula. Admission CNY 30, 09:00-23:00; reachable by bus to Nanshan or by taxi; the night view is at its clearest just after rain clears.
Getting there: Bus to Nanshan / by taxi
