Jingshan Park is the perfect complement to a Forbidden City visit, an imperial park built around an artificial hill directly behind (north of) the palace, created from the earth excavated to make the Forbidden City's moats. A short climb up the hill to the Wanchun Pavilion at its summit rewards you with the single best view in Beijing: looking south, the entire golden-roofed sweep of the Forbidden City laid out below, with the city stretching to the horizon. It's the photograph that makes sense of the palace's vast scale.
The park itself is lovely, pavilions, old trees, and locals practising tai chi, dancing, or singing in groups, especially in the morning. It has historical poignancy too: the last Ming emperor hanged himself here as rebels took the city in 1644. Pair it with the Forbidden City (exit north and walk straight across) for the complete experience.

Un poco de historia
Jingshan ('Prospect Hill') was created during the Ming dynasty from earth dug out for the Forbidden City's moats, as part of the imperial palace gardens. The summit pavilions and the park's layout follow imperial design; in 1644 the last Ming emperor, Chongzhen, took his own life on the hill.
