One month left, Beijing will once again attract the attention of the whole world. On the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, an exciting military parade will be held in Tiananmen Square. This is a historic event to show the prosperity of the country and the strong people, and a declaration of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Yesterday morning, friends in the capital were fortunate to witness the preview of the National Day military parade. When various fighter planes from ten formations leaped over the capital, people were in high spirits, and WeChat Moments were quickly dominating the screen.
A friend asked me, where is the best viewing area in the capital? If you are watching the military parade on National Day and you are not invited to Tiananmen Square, then staying honestly in front of the TV to watch the military parade is the best position, and live broadcasts are all the most exciting angles and moments. If you come to Beijing for fun, Jingshan Park is the veritable first observation deck in the capital.
Jingshan Park and the Palace Museum are far away, only one way away. However, the number of people visiting Jingshan Park is not as high as that of those visiting the Forbidden City. Some people say that after walking through the Forbidden City, who still has the energy to climb Jingshan . Some people also charge 10 yuan tickets because of Jingshan, while others say that Emperor Chongzhen is hanging on Jingshan, which is unlucky, etc. As a result, many people missed the best opportunity to enjoy Beijing City without any obstruction.
In ancient times, Jingshan gradually formed after being diverted from Yongding River . When the Yaoyu Palace was built in the Liao Dynasty (now the Beihai Park Qionghua Island), the remaining soil was piled up here. In the 19th year of Dading in the Jin Dynasty, Jin Zhangzong built Taining Palace on the south side of the place, carved Xihuatan (now Beihai), and piled up small hills here to build royal gardens, called "Beiyuan". Two walls are surrounded by the mountain, and Yao Guang Tower is built on the mountain, which is called one of the twelve scenic spots of Jinzhongdu.
Some people say that Jingshan was a rockery built for feng shui when the imperial palace in Beijing was built in the Ming Dynasty. This statement is actually wrong.
Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan built Yuan Dadu in the current city of Beijing in the fourth year of Zhiyuan (1267). Jingshan is located in the center of the capital, north of Yanchun Pavilion, the core building of the palace, so it was designated as a "back garden" dedicated to the emperor's visit. This opens the function and prelude to the viewing of "Jingshan". There are 80,000 square meters of mature land in the garden. The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty once worked here to show the world. The original Jin Dynasty hill was called "Qingshan", which was the first name of Jingshan.
During the Yongle period, Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, built large-scale cities, palaces and gardens in Beijing. According to the saying "Crayon dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, Xuanwu , the four spirits of the sky, to set the four directions", the north of the Forbidden City is the position of Xuanwu, and there should be mountains. Therefore, the soil excavated by the Forbidden City Twin River, Taiye and South China Sea were piled up on the "green mountains" to form five peaks, called " Wansuishan ", which is the second name of Jingshan.
1644 Li Zicheng captured the city of Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Jingshan. In the eighth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Wansui Mountain was renamed Jingshan. The name of Jingshan has three meanings: first, it means tall. In "Poetry: Yin Wu", there is a sentence "Climbing up the Jingshan Mountain, Pine and Cypress Balls", which says that there was a Jingshan Mountain in the capital of the Shang Dynasty 3,000 years ago; secondly, because this is the place where the emperors and empresses "destroy the scenery"; again, it means admiration. This name
has been used to this day.
Jingshan is located on the central axis of Beijing City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, facing the North Sea in the west and across the street from the Shenwumen of the Forbidden City in the south. It is the imperial garden of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. In the past, only the emperor could climb here to appreciate Beijing City. Now, spending 10 yuan can enjoy the same treatment as the emperors, which is really not expensive.
Jingshan is 38.6 meters high and was once the commanding height of Beijing. After the founding of New China, the construction of Beijing City has changed with each passing day, with high-rise buildings and high-rise buildings, the ancient city walls were replaced by high-rise buildings, and the city towers were replaced by overpasses. If you want to appreciate the appearance of the capital without any obstruction, you can only climb high-rise buildings. This is impossible for tourists.
Since there are strict requirements on the height of new buildings around the Forbidden City, Jingshan Park has basically no obstruction except for tall trees. Therefore, this is still the best viewing platform to appreciate the capital, with 360° unobstructed.
0000 Chunting is located at the highest point of Jingshan, with a relative height of 45.7 meters. It is the highest and best viewing point on the north and south central axis of Beijing.
million spring pavilion has a yellow glazed tile roof, green glazed tile cutting edges, four corners and pointed shape, and three-layer eaves. The first eaves are heavy and seven steps on the stakes, the second eaves and three levels are heavy and five steps on the stakes. There are two trough columns, each side of the outer layer has six, a total of twenty; there are four, a total of twelve, a total of twelve, a total of four. The first floor platform is connected on all sides and has a wide view. This is the observation deck.
Standing on Wanchun Pavilion, looking south is the magnificent palace group of the Forbidden City. Through the spaces of Taihe Hall , Wenhua Hall and Taimiao, you can see the off-white modern buildings of the National Museum. The large screen for Tiananmen Square to welcome the National Day has been erected.
The roofs of ancient and modern buildings on the central axis are Zhengyang Building , Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, People's Heroes Monument, Tiananmen Gate, Palace of the Palace Museum, and Baohe Hall. The yellow color of classical buildings symbolizes the highest imperial power in China's feudal society.
The highest level roof of ancient Chinese buildings appears in one picture and can only be appreciated here. Double-eaved hip roof and single-eaved hip roof. Hippodrome, double eaves or single eaves. Every style of roof is the essence and highest level of ancient Chinese architecture.
on the west side of
Chuxiu Palace, Changchun Palace, Yongshou Palace , Taiji Palace, etc. are linked by high palace walls. This is the place where imperial concubines are most likely to have palace fights.
The Forbidden City Corner Tower is the most beautiful building in the Forbidden City. Compared with the solemn and majestic Hall of Supreme Harmony and other halls, the Corner Tower has more beauty and spirituality. The Forbidden City Corner Tower is known as the group of buildings with the highest photogenic appearance in the Forbidden City, especially the Northwest and Northeast Corner Towers. It is the best camera for shooting sunrises and sunsets. Beijing’s filmmakers have 365 days of special photos of the Corner Tower, and its perseverance is admirable. However, when you take a look at the northwest corner tower from a downward angle, you can only enjoy it when you come to Jingshan.
Yuhua Pavilion is a Tibetan Buddhist temple built by Emperor Qianlong in the Forbidden City. It is a pavilion-style building with three floors on the outside and a "light three dark four" pattern. A bronze gilt dragon stands on each of the four ridges, which is the symbol of the building and the four golden dragons that can only be seen in Jingshan. The current building in the background is an extraordinary institutional office building outside the Forbidden City.
Standing in Jingshan to look southwest, a pool of lake water is sparkling, surrounded by green trees are green, yellow glazed tiles and gray tiles. This is Zhongnanhai.
Looking east from Wanchunting, it is a layered modern building complex. The tallest and most distinctive in the distance is the new CCTV building, which is nicknamed "Big Pants" by people in the capital.
These tall buildings seem to be much shorter here. Most of them are on the edge of the Second, Third and Fourth Ring Roads in Chaoyang District, becoming landmarks of New Beijing.
Green trees, ancient buildings, modern high-rise buildings, not many angles appear on one picture or one horizontal line, and can only be photographed here.
moves to the north of the central axis, and the yellow glazed tiles that come into view are very eye-catching. It was called 官网官网 in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is specially used for the place where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties stop their souls, store their portraits and worship their ancestors.
After liberation, the Shouhuang Palace was once the office and activity venue of the Young People's Palace in Beijing for a long time. Ten years ago, it officially returned to Jingshan Park.
Shouhuang Palace building complex is very large in scale, with a four-column and nine-floor archway on each side of the east, west and south. There are palace gates, side halls, well pavilions, alive pavilions, gods, etc. As well as a large number of relics from the ancestors and a large number of paintings and other cultural relics that were once stored.
After the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Beijing in 1900, Navy Captain Pierre Loti came to the Shouhuang Palace when he was looking for a residence for French Major General Frey. Later, the French army occupied the Shouhuang Palace and used the hall as its headquarters. In the diary, Pierre Lotti wrote: "Tuesday, October 23, 1900, Beijing. When I opened the heavy gate of the Shouhuang Palace, it was pitch black. In the hall I opened a dusty box with hundreds of imperial seals of the kings. They were made of whole pieces of agate, jade or gold."A few days later, Commander Frey led his troops here, and the Japanese army reporter Ichima Ogawa took a photo of him and his subordinates next to the bronze deer in the Shouhuang Hall. According to the Qing Dynasty's ancestral system, the portraits and seals of the late emperor and his concubines must be enshrined in the Shouhuang Hall. French major general Commander Frey and his subordinates robbed him.
The line of sight crossed the Shouhuang Hall and continued to look north along the central axis. It was two ancient buildings with green roofs. , this is Bell and Drum Tower .
Bell and Drum Tower two buildings are arranged in front and back, majestic and majestic. It is the time center of the capitals of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. In the history of the establishment of bell and drum towers in all cities in the country, Beijing Bell and Drum Tower has the largest scale and the highest shape. It is also one of the landmark buildings of the ancient capital Beijing. It is an important building that witnesses the history of our country in the past century.
leaps through Looking northward, there is a bunch of modern buildings like nails. This is the sightseeing watchtower located in Olympic Forest Park . After the observation tower was completed, many people thought it was used to light the Olympic torch, but the result was really unexpected.
Looking northward, it is the rolling Yanshan Mountains.
moved westward from Nail Tower . A building similar to a torch is very eye-catching, which is Pangu Daguan . It is located in the core area of Ya'ao. In 2008, the apartment opened at 150,000 yuan per square meter, setting a new high in the real estate price of Beijing that year.
Pangu Daguan is only 150 meters away from the Water Cube and less than 800 meters away from the Bird's Nest Stadium, and its location is very superior. Its design concept is The five thousand-year-old dragon totem of China is effectively integrated with the essence of Chinese traditional culture. With office buildings with a height of 192 meters as the dragon head, three international apartments and a seven-star hotel extend from south to north for nearly 700 meters, making the entire building look like a snow-white dragon.
In the past two years, in the central anti-corruption storm, Pangu Grand View once again entered people's vision of behind-the-scenes transactions between government, business and wealthy people. Just last week, Pangu The "Dragon Head" of the ancient Grand View was auctioned, setting a real estate price of 5.187 billion yuan.
moves from north to west, and you can see a white tower from afar, and the CCTV color TV tower like a lightning rod. The white tower is built on Qionghua Island in Beihai Park and is the landmark of Beihai Park. There are two small waters connected to the Central Sea and the South China Sea to the south of the Beihai.
In the northwest corner of the North Sea, there are three buildings that are jokingly called "big insoles" by Beijing people. This is West Ring Square , which is located in Xizhimen, the old Beijing subway line 2, 4 and 13 meet underground. On the ground is Beijing North Station , which goes to Inner Mongolia and Yanqing. The most famous Xizhimen overpass here, which has many funny jokes.
The highest building in the northeast corner of Xihuan Plaza is China Aluminum Building. More than ten years ago, it was such a lonely high-rise building, but it was still so lonely ten years later. It can be seen that the modern building complex and landmark buildings in Beijing are mainly in the CBD area of the east of Beijing. The economic and cultural life of East Ring City is obviously much higher than that of Xicheng.
Many foreign self-guided tourists like to come to Jingshan, the first panoramic platform. They said that after seeing the Forbidden City, they would rather come here to see the Forbidden City from a different angle and look at the Beijing City from a full angle.
There are five peak pavilions on Jingshan Mountain, namely Guanmiao Pavilion, Zhou Shang Pavilion, Wanchun Pavilion, Fulan Pavilion and Jifang Pavilion. Among them, Wanchun Pavilion, which is the highest point, is the best position, with a 360° ring without blind spots and no obstruction. It is the first viewing platform in the capital for ordinary people.
A friend asked me if it was the closest thing to come here to experience the atmosphere of the military parade on the National Day, then of course. But I guess that Jingshan, a high commanding height, will be closed, and even Jingshan Qian Street, Wenjin Street and Wusi Street may be closed. Therefore, it is better to find a place with a TV or watch live broadcast on your mobile phone. Now that the 5G era has arrived, those who have activated it first can enjoy smoother information services this time.
But then again, if you could stand in this place where the emperors admired the capital seven hundred years ago, put on a tripod, set up a camera, and drag colorful smoke when the fighter jets in the air jumped over the Forbidden City, wouldn’t this moment cost 10 yuan tickets for shooting? It is said that the tickets are only 2 yuan per week, and online reservations are 4 yuan.
