Check-in Guide
Jingshan Park is located on the Central Axis, and you can take photos in all four directions.

  1. The south-facing view is directly opposite the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City, and the golden plaque of "The Palace Museum" is just within reach.
  2. Looking north towards the extension of the axis, the ancient architectural complex of Shouhuangdian and the Olympic Tower set each other off at a distance.
  3. At the Guanmiao Pavilion on the east side, you can frame the picture of the integration of the ancient and the modern. The traditional pavilions and the modern CBD form a dialogue across time and space.
  4. It is the best framing for viewing the White Pagoda in Beihai Park when looking west. The pagoda's shadow and the lake view during the golden moment are most likely to produce excellent photos.
