Jingshan Park 景山公园
From Jingshan’s hill, the Forbidden City resolves into a roofscape and a clear north-south axis. The view adds something ground level cannot: a quick understanding of how the palace sits inside the larger city. Make Wanchun Pavilion your target: look south across the palace roofs, then turn west towards Beihai’s White Dagoba.
