Main attraction
Jingshan
In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a small mound called Qingshan, which belonged to the inner backyard of Yuanda University. When the Forbidden City was built in Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, coal was piled here, so it was also called Jingshan Park. Because its location is just on the central axis of the whole city, and it is also the barrier to the north of the palace, Feng Shui warlocks call it "Zhenshan". During the Ming and Qing dynasties, many fruit trees were planted in the garden, and animals such as deer and cranes were raised, so this mountain was once called Baiguoyuan, and this mountain was once called Long Live Mountain.
