As a landmark of Chongqing, Grand Golden Eagle is also one of the commanding points on Nanshan Mountain, with beautiful scenery.

If the weather is clear, standing on the top of Grand Golden Eagle, visitors can overlook Yuzhong District, Yubei District and Jiangbei District, so it is also a place for many photography lovers to take pictures of Chongqing night scene.
