Geleshan National Forest Park

Geleshan National Forest Park, National park in Shapingba District, Chongqing, China.

Geleshan National Forest Park is a nationally protected park on Gele Mountain in Geleshan, Shapingba District, about 16 km west of Chongqing city centre. Its forests are mostly pine and cypress, and the park also holds prairie meadows, streams, springs, caves and waterfalls. The highest point reaches 693 metres, and the wooded slopes are nicknamed the "Emerald Fortress".

The name Geleshan comes from the legend that Yu the Great, the flood-taming ruler dated to around 2200–2101 BC, gathered his guests on the mountain to sing and dance after bringing local floods under control. The site became a national forest park in 2004.

The park's name comes from the phrase "Yu the Great gathered the feudal lords at Mount Tu and summoned guests to sing and dance here" (歌乐, ge le, means to sing and dance). The park also holds a cultural exhibition hall called the Martyr's Mausoleum, and hosts blueberry-picking festivals, seasonal flower festivals, cycling races and photography competitions.

The park lies in Geleshan, Shapingba District, about 16 km west of Chongqing city centre, with the summit at 693 m. A cable car serves the climb, and the grounds hold a canopy walkway, rock-climbing areas, forest obstacle courses and forest cross-country karting. Blueberry-picking and flower festivals, cycling races and photography competitions are held at different times of year.

The park's cable car, canopy walkway, fishing club, rock climbing walls, forest obstacle courses and cross-country karting sit alongside Chinese chess-themed structures and a "fairyland" exhibit where visitors listen to famous fairytales. The China National Tourism Administration has given the park a 4A rating.
