Gele Mountain National Forest Park and Cableway

The forested ridge above the prisons — about 780 m at the top by the district broadcaster's figure (platforms print 728), pines and cypresses, six hiking trails and a 1993 two-seat gondola that runs 900 m from the road by Baigongguan to the summit in about 17 minutes. The city lists it as an open, non-charging 4A park run by the Shapingba district scenic-area office; the cableway is the paid part, ¥30 one way and ¥50 return when the district reported its 2021 reopening, 9:30-17:30 on weekdays and to 18:00 on holidays. It is the local weekend hill (families, climbers on the outdoor wall, retirees on the steps), and the reason to add it to a prison morning is the view over the Jialing and the cooler air in a Chongqing summer.
