Pipashan (Mt. Loquat) Park, with an elevation of 345 metres is situated on Mount Pi Pa, which lies in the centre of Chongqing, commanding a magnificent view of the city proper. 

Once a private garden owned by Wang Lingji, the chairman of the Sichuan government from 1911 to 1949, it was confiscated after the liberation in 1949 and then extended into a park by the People's Government. 


At the top of the Pipa Hill lays Chongqing Museum, which was founded in 1951 as Southwest Museum and was renamed as Chongqing Museum in 1955. Covering a construction area of 5500 sqm, the museum has over 40 exhibiting halls with about 100,000 pieces of relics, which spans over 3000 years history from the ancient Kingdom of Ba and the near-mythical Three Kingdoms Period to World War Two and the Chinese Revolution. 

The dinosaur skeletons on display were unearthed between 1974 and 1977 at Zigong City, Yangchun and other places in Sichuan Province (Chongqing had been part of Sichuan Province until 1997). Besides, there is also a suspended coffin from the Three Gorges area on display, which you can see it closely.
