Hiked up a small hill for this shot

Climbed another hill to get the best view🤩

Head to Jingshan Park, directly north across the street, climb its central hill (Prospect Hill) around 2.4km to the Wanchun Pavilion for a stunning panoramic, bird's-eye perspective of the entire complex with its iconic golden roofs and red walls, especially beautiful at sunrise or sunset.

The hike is moderately easy, making it accessible for most visitors. From the hill's summit near Wanchun Pavilion, you can catch mesmerizing panoramic views that perfectly frame the sprawling Forbidden City below. For photographers and sightseers alike, early morning or late afternoon visits are ideal to capture the warm glow on the iconic golden roofs and vibrant red walls. Don't forget your camera or smartphone — the scenic outlooks offer excellent shots for both beginners and seasoned photographers. The experience is enhanced during clear days, so checking the local weather can help you plan your visit for optimal visibility. Aside from the views, Jingshan Park itself is a lovely urban green space to explore, with peaceful paths and traditional Chinese landscaping. After descending the hill, you might want to stroll around the park grounds and enjoy the tranquility before heading back into the bustling city. Overall, visiting Prospect Hill in Jingshan Park offers a refreshing outdoor adventure combined with cultural heritage that makes it a must-visit spot in Beijing.

This isn’t Europe, it’s Jiuzhaigou!
If you’re in Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou is a must-visit! Since it’s pretty far from the city, I’d recommend staying at least 2 days here. Hotels are surprisingly affordable, and a full day at Jiuzhaigou Valley National Park is more than worth it. Once inside, free shuttle buses will bring you around. T
