Plan your Beijing tour<\/strong><\/a>? While visiting a new city, many people would ascend a higher place to have a good view of the unfamiliar place for a clear picture.  Beijing is not a city of skyscrapers though recently a few high-rises have sprung up in and around city. But these are hard to get in if you are a  tourist.  Here is my suggested top place to see through the city layout and skyline  of Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top place is Jingshan Hill <\/a>( <\/strong>also known as Jingshan Park), just north of Forbidden City<\/a>.<\/a>  Jingshan Hill sits on the centre of the traditional north-south axis of Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jingshan Hill is 45.7\u00a0m at relative height and 94.2m at sea level, where you\u00a0can have a panoramic view of the city of Beijing with good skyline\u00a0\u2013 East Skyline: Beijing Central Business District ( New CCTV Oficce and high rises; South skyline: Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and\u00a0south beyond; West skyline : the Beihai Park, CCTV Tower\u00a0and the west city of Beijing and the North Skyline: Drum Tower and Bell Tower and Olympic Sites\u00a0on the north-south axis of Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is quite easy to climb up the hill and view the most magnificent Beijing skylines. The different time of a day presents unique colours of a particular skyline. So Jingshan Hill is also the best area to view Beijing’s sunrise and sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standing on the platform\u00a0at\u00a0Wanchun Pavilion on the hilltop of Jingshan, you can have four major\u00a0skylines of Beijing.\u00a0 Below is the south skyline of Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square.<\/p>\n\n\n
