Traveler reviews
Anni Mirtskhulava
★★★★★3 months agoI really enjoyed visiting Jingshan Park. It’s a beautiful and peaceful place with an amazing view over the Forbidden City. The park has nice walking paths, places to sit and relax, small candy shops, and a restaurant if you want to take a break. The atmosphere feels calm and authentic, especially around sunset. Definitely worth visiting if you are in Beijing.
Sharad Kambale
★★★★★2 months agoJust a normal park primarily for an evening /sunset shot of the Forbidden Palace. The topmost Pavillion of the park gets crowded for the photoshoots of the FC. The walk up can get quite steep at times but its not too long. Compared to the open expanse of the FC through the day it was quite a relief to find some shades in the tree lined park. Tickets available on the spot. Lines arent too long. Only con is that after exit, it is not close to any metro station in walking distance from south gate.
