Me and Siqi have somehow failed to visit this beautiful park ever since I’ve been in Beijing (almost two years now) so it was about time when we visited last week!
Jingshan Park is situated just north of the forbidden city and is a must-visit on a “Blue Sky Day” if you want a commanding view over the entire city (well most of it anyway). There is a very strong Chinese feeling about the place – what with all the Chinese grannies and grandads gathering there to sing, play music and dance… or simply out for an afternoon stroll with their grandchildren.
After that there was a necessary bus trip to be made to Xinjiekou (新街口) where we had a super spicy Sichuan meal in our favourite little restaurant before retiring to the little tressle tables and chairs outside for a sample of some of the finest Xinjiang kebabs in Beijing.
Grand Day Out… This is the way things should be!
