Chongqing is an old city with a very historical and cultural atmosphere. This kind of historical precipitation is integrated into the bones of every Chongqing citizen. The reason for this is to look at the parks that Chongqing people usually go to.
Don’t think that Chongqing is a mountain city. The topography of Chongqing does not affect the people of Chongqing to build parks. After all, everyone should have a place to walk after dinner. There are 27 national forest parks in Chongqing, and there are countless large areas of original ecological parks. , Jiuqu River Park, Central Park, Baiyun Mountain Park and so on.
But more down-to-earth, those old parks with Chongqing history, such as Loquat Mountain Park, Eling Park, etc., are more important in the hearts of ordinary people. These downtown parks not only play a role in recreation and entertainment. It also allows people to better understand the history and culture of the city.
Take Eling Park as an example, it may be relatively familiar to outsiders, because there is an online celebrity attraction Eling Second Factory Cultural and Creative Park nearby. Many people will come here to take a look. After all, there is the main urban area of Chongqing. The highest point of Chongqing is one of the best locations for a bird’s-eye view of Chongqing.
Eling Park was built in 1909, the first year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Eling Park was not called Yiyuan, and it was only the private garden of the wealthy businessman Li Zhanyang at that time.
Later, in the Republic of China, it was called the Li Garden. Although it has been more than a hundred years, there are still many century-old trees in the garden, and the pavilions and pavilions of the year have been restored.
It is worth mentioning that during the Republic of China, it used to be the embassies of Turkey, Australia, and Denmark. So far, the Australian embassies are the most well-preserved. Now the management office of Goose Ridge Park is the Australian embassy of that year.
What is even more surprising is that there are two Soviet-aided Chinese pilots buried in Eling Park. This is a little-known history. During the Anti-Japanese War, there were only 91 aircraft available in China, and only 30 were left shortly after the war began. Japan had 859 aircraft at the time. Fortunately, the Soviet Union has been supporting China in air combat. It has supported China’s 1,563 aircraft in four years, and has now trained more than 8,000 pilots.
The Soviet Air Force to China was stationed in Chongqing in 1938. It was stationed at the Russian Embassy at that time. At that time, 16 aircraft were sent over. The Soviet Air Force supporting China got along well with the local people. Unlike other military forces, the Air Force had Management is relatively free, so I usually get closer to the locals. There are even stories of local women who recognize “foreign sons.” However, there are always sacrifices in war. Soviet pilots Stolf and Katnov were in a battle against Japan. After the sacrifice, he was buried together in the tomb of the martyrs in Eling Park.
We know that Chongqing has been bombed by Japan for five years. In 1985, in order to promote Sino-Japanese friendship, Hiroshima City sent representatives to Chongqing to send a peace bell. The peace bell was placed in Eling Park.
There are many imprints of history like this in Eling Park. The reason why Eling Park is the most representative of Chongqing must be inseparable from these historical imprints.
