at 413 meters above sea level the morro da vista chinesa (chinese lookout) offers a unique perspective of the zona sul (south zone). with the parque da cidade and lagoa da freitas below and the atlantic ocean and mountainous shores in the distance, this side of rio is sure to impress.

this is a particularly good spot for a unique perspective of christ the redeemer on morro do corcovado, looming over the urban sprawl, with his arms spread wide as if to bless the millions going about their business in the streets and buildings below.
