One of the best views of Rio is at the topmost of one of the roads that connect Jardim Botânico to the Parque Nacional & Floresta da Tijuca, known as the Vista Chinesa. From this Chinese-style folly you can admire the Corcovado, Sugar Loaf, Ipanema, Leblon and the Guanabara Bay, all the way to Niterói. The road is an attraction per se, winding through centenary trees and offering some spectacular views on the way.
The street around it is also quite popular for "Longboarding". Even events from the international sereies were already held there.
Besides this the starting point of a mountainbiking downhill trail lies there.
