In the three generations of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jingshan and its adjacent buildings are not only a royal garden for tourists, but also have multiple functions such as custom shooting, ceasefire, ancestor worship, official study, farming, opera and religion. The lush pines and cypresses in the garden and the knitting of tourists are the unique features of the imperial city of Beijing. This is a small hill in Yuan Dynasty, named "Qingshan". According to legend, when the Forbidden City was built in Ming Dynasty, coal was piled here, so it is commonly known as "Meishan". In Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, the soil of excavated moat was piled up here and built into a tall earth hill, called "Longevity Hill", also known as "Zhenshan" of Danei, and one of Jingshan was renamed in the early Qing Dynasty. The five pavilions on the hill were built during the reign of Qianlong. Among them, Wanchun Pavilion, located at the peak of Jingshan, is the highest and best scenic spot on the north-south axis of Beijing.

In 1981, an ancient locust tree was newly transplanted at its original site. In 1996, an ancient locust tree with more than 150 years of age replaced the one transplanted in 1981. Pagoda tree. During the Gengzi Incident in Guangxu 26 (1900), the eight-nation coalition forces (Britain, the United States, France, Russia, Germany, Japan, Italy and Austria) occupied Beijing. Jingshan was badly damaged. Four Buddhist statues in the five pavilions were looted and all the treasures displayed in the palaces were looted.

    Jingshan Park is located in Jingshan Front Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, located on the central axis of Beijing City, Ming and Qing Dynasties, west of Beihai, south and the Forbidden City Shenwumen across the street, is the Ming and Qing generations of Yuyuan. Jingshan Park has 5 Wufang Pavilion. From the east to the west, Zhou Shuting, Guan Miaoting, Wanchun Pavilion, Jifang Pavilion, Fulan Pavilion, each dedicated a bronze Buddha representing the sour, bitter, sweet, xin, salty five flavors of gods. When the eight-nation coalition invaded, the Peluzhana Buddha in Wanchun Pavilion was destroyed, and the remaining four were robbed. Wanchun Pavilion is the middle peak of Jingshan. Here you can overlook the panoramic view of the Forbidden City in the south, Beihai Park in the west, Beijing's central axis road in the north, and CBD in the east. Tickets only need 2 yuan, is it not fragrant to spend 2 yuan overlooking the Forbidden City?

    Xiucai said that Guide Li is very interesting to talk about, Jingshan environment is very good, especially suitable for taking pictures. I didn't make an appointment to the Forbidden City this time. It's not a worthwhile trip to come here. I will come next time and listen to history.

    The scenery of the snowy day is good, a good place to watch Beijing. There is also a right walk into the main entrance (South Gate), turn a corner and you can see the crooked neck tree of Chongxuan.
