The '''Vista Chinesa''' (''Chinese Belvedere'') is one of the belvederes of [[Rio de Janeiro]], at the topmost of one of the roads that connect the [[Jardim Botânico, Rio de Janeiro|Jardim Botânico]] area to the [[Tijuca Forest|Parque Nacional & Floresta da Tijuca]], known as the ''Estrada da Vista Chinesa''.

==Tijuca National Park==
Estrada da Vista Chinesa skirts the Mesa do Imperador viewpoint and at the Morro da Vista Chinesa (380m/1247ft) runs into Estrada Dona Castorina. From the top of the hill there are views of the Municipal Park, the [[botanical garden]] and a long stretch of the south coast.
