This place was once the site for royal ancestral worship and remembrance during the Ming and Qing dynasties

"Jingshan Park" is located on Jingshan Front Street in Beijing, situated on the central axis of the city, west of Beihai, north with a distant view of the Drum Tower, and south facing the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City across the street. It was the imperial garden of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Jingshan is a man-made hill and the highest point in the capital, once known as Qingshan, Wansuishan, among other names, and commonly referred to as Meishan by the locals. In the eighth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1651), it was renamed Jingshan. Jingshan Park was established in 1928, and within the park are numerous attractions such as the Qiwang Tower, Wufang Pavilion, Shouhuang Hall, Yongsi Hall, and more. Over a thousand ancient pines and cypresses thrive lushly, and the peony garden is a riot of color, with crowds of visitors weaving through the park.
