CNY 2 is worth it! Jingshan Park sunset is not just for the Forbidden City

Wanchun Pavilion in Jingshan Park is the best place to overlook the Forbidden City, making it the most popular attraction in Jingshan Park. Especially at sunset, the golden afterglow shines on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, showing the magnificence of the royal buildings. However, Wanchun Pavilion is always crowded at this time, so you need to think about how to take satisfactory photos. In addition to taking photos of the Forbidden City, there are many great spots waiting for us to discover. Let me introduce them to you one by one. Great photo spots Forbidden City sunset - Location: Jingshan Park - Wanchun Pavilion - Photography tips: Take photos from the south of Wanchun Pavilion. Since the sunset time varies in different seasons, it is recommended to arrive 1–2 hours in advance to get the best position if you want to take a picture of the Forbidden City bathed in the sunset glow. If you arrive late, you can only wait for the people in front to finish taking photos and then negotiate with them to change positions and move forward to take photos. Guomao CBD - Location: Jingshan Park - Zhoushang Pavilion - Photography tips: Zhoushang Pavilion is on the right path to Wanchun Pavilion, so don't miss it. Use the lush trees around as a natural frame and adjust the phone's focal length to 2–3 times to easily take photos with a sense of hierarchy. Beihai White Pagoda - Location: Jingshan Park - Fulan Pavilion - Photography tips: Fulan Pavilion is on the left path of Wanchun Pavilion, and you can reach it by navigation. There is a unique tree here. Use its branches as a frame and focus on the Beihai White Pagoda to take great photos. Beihai sunset - Location: Jingshan Park - Jifang Pavilion - Photography tips: Also located on the left path of Wanchun Pavilion, Jifang Pavilion offers a panoramic view of Beihai, with the Beihai White Pagoda, the Central Radio and TV Tower, and the distant mountains in the same frame. You can take great photos easily. Shouhuang Hall, Drum Tower, Beijing Olympic Tower - Location: Jingshan Park - Wanchun Pavilion - Photography tips: Take photos from the north of Wanchun Pavilion, and you can take photos of the solemn Shouhuang Hall. If the weather is clear, you can use a telephoto lens to capture the Drum Tower and the distant Olympic Tower. Tip: The Forbidden City at night is also charming. Don't rush to leave after taking photos of the sunset, as you can continue to take photos of the night view. Recommended photo route: Zhoushang Pavilion ➡️ Wanchun Pavilion ➡️ Jifang Pavilion ➡️ Fulan Pavilion ➡️ Wanchun Pavilion ➡️ End. Jingshan Park information - Ticket price: Only CNY 2, very cost-effective - Opening hours: Open at 6 am, stop entry at 8:30 pm, and close at 9 pm
