Location & Transportation

Chongqing Central Park - Sunshine Great Lawn sits in Yubei District, about 20 kilometers north of downtown Chongqing. It’s super easy to reach by metro (lines 3 or 10) or taxi—just tell the driver “Lan Gui Avenue” and they’ll know exactly where to go. If you’re flying into Chongqing Jiangbei Airport, it’s only a 10-minute drive away, so the lawn makes a perfect first stop to stretch your legs after a long flight!

Natural Scenery

The Sunshine Great Lawn is the heart of the park—a massive, rolling green space that looks like something out of a movie. Imagine a 100,000-square-meter carpet of grass surrounded by low hills and a sparkling lake. In spring, wildflowers dot the lawn like sprinkles on a cake, while summer brings lush, cool grass perfect for picnics. Fall turns the lawn into a golden blanket, and winter wraps it in a misty glow. Locals love sunbathing here or watching kites swirl against the sky.

Cultural Highlights

While the lawn itself is a star, the park hides little art treasures. You’ll spot modern sculptures blending into the greenery, like a giant metallic bird perched by the lake. On weekends, the lawn becomes a stage for local dance groups practicing traditional Chinese fan dances, or kids chasing bubbles. It’s a mix of urban energy and nature’s calm—you might even see a couple taking wedding photos here!

Amenities

The park is designed for comfort. Near the Sunshine Great Lawn, you’ll find clean restrooms, free Wi-Fi, and rental bikes to explore further. There’s a lakeside café serving bubble tea and snacks, plus shaded picnic areas with tables. Families love the nearby playground, and fitness buffs can use outdoor workout equipment. Pro tip: Come early to snag a sunny spot on the lawn!

Visiting Experience

Morning is magic here—the lawn is bathed in soft light, and joggers zip past like wind-up toys. For a quieter vibe, visit mid-week. On holidays, the lawn hosts festivals (think outdoor movies or food markets). Bring a kite or frisbee—the wide-open space is begging for play! At sunset, the lawn turns pinkish-gold, and the lake reflects the sky like a mirror. Whether you’re lounging, snapping photos, or just breathing fresh air, the Sunshine Great Lawn feels like a hug from Chongqing.
