Zhongshan Park – The Imperial Ancestral Garden Turned People’s Paradise

#holidayitinerary

Nestled beside the Forbidden City’s moat, this 600-year-old sanctuary was once the Ming and Qing Dynasties’ sacred earth altar. Today, its ancient cypress groves and peony terraces host morning tai chi sessions, lovers’ whispered promises, and retirees belting Peking opera under vermilion pavilions.

📍 Location: West of Forbidden City’s Meridian Gate (Metro Line 1 to Tian’anmen West)
🎫 Ticket: ¥3 (¥10 during Peony Festival)
