Eling Park
Eling Park is an idyllic way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Situated on top of a hill about an hours walk uphill from the light-rail station, Li Zi Ba. From this height one gets an impression of the size and density of the enormous district, Jiangbei across the Jialing river despite the mist. The view is mystical and creates a back drop to this hidden oasis. There are many small and pretty gardens to stroll through. It is spring and I saw white lily's and red oriental trees in flower. I passed a Chinese pond covered by a typical Chinese roof with round thresholds and quiet textured enclosures for romantic couples. I found an enclosure where many older people were dancing to two keyboard players and a singer.
