Hiked up a small hill for this shot

2025/12/14 Edited to

... Read moreIf you're exploring Jingshan Park, be sure to allocate enough time to climb Prospect Hill, the park's central elevation that provides one of Beijing's best vantage points. 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
