Jingshan Park overlooking the Forbidden City





Although Friday was a misty and rainy day, I could not pass the chance of climbing Jingshan Hill that faces the Forbidden city. As you walk up there are two pavilions where one can stop to catch one's breath or to take in the view.

Then right on top is the main pavilion with an altar dedicate to Lord Buddha. No photography of this image is allowed but the tourists did not mind for they could snap shots of the panoramic (though hazy view) of the Forbidden City and its surrounding areas.

The cool and refreshing air was ample reward for my tired legs!!
