Yesterday, Hannah and I went to Jingshan Park. Jingshan’s main feature is a man-made hill created from the dirt dug up when the Forbidden City was built, constructed to enhance the emperor’s good fortune (having mountains to the north creates good fengshui).
Jingshan is my favorite spot in Beijing. The park surrounding the hill is beautiful, there is a delicious bread stand across the street from the east entrance and the view of Beijing from the top of the hill is unparalleled – that is if it’s a clear enough day.
