Jingshan Park: A Scenic Viewpoint for the Forbidden City

Jingshan Park is located right behind the Forbidden City, just across the street. With an entrance fee of only 2 yuan, you can enjoy a million-dollar view! A short walk uphill leads to a viewpoint where you can see the entire Forbidden City from above in all its glory.

The park is serene, filled with trees, flowers, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to relax after exploring the Forbidden City. Historically, this park holds significance as the site where Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty ended his life by hanging himself on a tree on this hill, marking the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
