 Jingshan park Jun 23, 2008
The location of this park is its crown jewel. After walking through the Fobidden City all you want to do is lie down in the grass or enjoy some cool breeze at the top of this scenic hill.
At the top are two gazebo style buildings formerly housing religious relics. On a hot summer day you will find people relaxing here and looking out over the Forbidden City all displayed before you. You can lose track of time on the many winding paths that will take you through bamboo forests and well kept gardens on the sides of the hill. Entrance is only two yuan, amazing for this historic spot.  Part of the China 2008 travel blog

 Terrific view over Beijing Mar 20, 2008
When you visit Beijing, it is a MUST to visit the Jingshan Park, located at the opposite of the north entrance of the Forbidden City. The park is one of my favourites in the city, because you have an absolutely terrific view from the top!
The entrance fee is 2 Yuan - so it is really cheap. |

This beautiful park is located directly north of the Forbidden City, and its abundance of trees and manicured grass lawns are a welcome respite after the endless expanses of concrete. It is situated on a giant hill made from the dirt from the digging of the palace moat, and it is also the place where the last Ming Emperor committed suicide. Hike to the top of the hill for good views of the city.
Another thing that I noticed is that the park is exceptionally clean. Even after walking around for more than an hour, I didn't notice a single scrap of litter. Part of the Beijing 2006 travel blog

Jingshan Park. Jingshan Park is huge in size. There were many old people were doing taichi (a chinese kind of slow areobic/ex ercise). The park has a hill where on top we could see the whole view of Forbidden City. Before reaching the top, there… A Free Day! |

This morning, I visited Belhai Park, Jingshan Park, and the Hutong Area. I must have walked 10 miles, having walked for 6 straight hours. In the Hutong area, I visited a street named Nan Luo Gu Xiang, one of the place that the lady I met the night… First day exploring Beijing |

We then went to Beihei Park, which was one of the most beautiful parks in Beijing, with a good view, except not as good of view as Jingshan Park apparently is (or so I was told). But back to Beihiei it really is a great park to spend a few hours in and walk around, which I did even… The Park, Temple, and Acrobatics |

I climbed up the hill in Jingshan Park to look back over the yellow-tiled roofs of the Forbidden City but did not a lot else on day one. Yesterday, as with today, was hot but the sun totally suffocated beneath the infamous white-grey pall mixture of humid steam… Beijing : 'Let the Dumpling Wars and the Siege of the Forbidden City commence!' |

Later on, I set about walking into the city centre to see Jingshan Park and a couple of the lakes. I only ended up seeing a lake during the whole day because I got lost...several times. I was working on the premise that because a strip of water was running to the left of the road… Walking Around Like An Idiot |
