北京香山 Xiangshan Fragrant Hills
Maimai St, 40号香山公园内 邮政编码: 100093
Haidian District, Beijing
One of the parks I went often: taken there by family members; on school outings; going there with friends and schoolmates. The foliage is particularly enchanting. It’s also known as Fragrant Hills, Western Hills.
It came from an imperial garden (1186) at the foot of the Western Hills in the Haidian District, not far from Wanan Cemetery.
Nowadays, people mountain people sea 人山人海. The last time I was in Beijing, shortly before outbreak of Covid-19 (2019) and saw the tour buses lined up the narrow streets when I went to visit my ancestors at WanAn Cemetery.
A few places I still remember:
- 香山碧雲寺
- 鬼见愁, the main hill 香山的主峰,又叫香炉峰,海拔557米
