Jingshan Park

Nice place to walk around and wonder. The atmosphere is very quiet and joyful. A must is the walk to the top of the hill, but only on a clear day. It offers great views of the forbidden city and a 360 degree view of the surrounding area.

Enjoy the day with your kids in the indoor water park section or just enjoy the outside during the night, when the whole cube lights up.

This is a place where you finally can see some colors and some water. The story behind it is interesting, and the view is amazing. Be sure to get a guide who knows the history.
