Coal Hill Park is located in the capital axis of north and south, linking Shenwu Door of Forbidden City in the south, Bell and Drum Tower in the north, and Baihai Park in the west. With the height of 43 meters, the hill covers an area of 23 hectares. It is the best place to ascend a height and look down the capital city of Beijing, and view and admire a panorama of the Forbidden City. A large-scale expansion construction was carried on during the period of the reign of Qianlong of Qing Dynasty. Coal Hill Park is really a graceful and unique imperial garden. |
