Beijing Jingshan Park

Here's a short video showing the sights and sounds of Beijing Jingshan Park on a Sunday afternoon.

Jingshan Park is one of the oldest imperial gardens in Beijing with a history dating back nearly 1,000 years and is most famous for being the place where Chongwen, the last Ming Dynasty Emperor, committed suicide in 1644 by hanging himself from a tree as a rebel army of 400,000 men led by Li Zecheng approached the capital.

It also provides some wonderful views of Beijing from Coal Hill, including the Forbidden City which lies directly south of it.
