As the former back garden of the imperial palace in Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Jingshan Park is one of China's oldest and most well-preserved imperial gardens. It is currently a municipal park of Beijing, with ancient trees and imposing halls. Located at the center of the Central Axis of Beijing, Jingshan Park is the best place to get the panoramic views of the city. Let's enjoy the beauty of Jingshan Hill through the lens of British photographer Bruce Connolly.
