Step-by-step booking guide

  1. 1

    Walk from Forbidden City north exit

    Shenwu Gate exit is a short walk to Jingshan’s south side — classic roof-view combo.

  2. 2

    Buy at east/west/south gate window

    Show passport; usually CNY 2 (exhibition periods CNY 10).

  3. 3

    Pay without Chinese phone

    On-site needs no mobile verification (unlike 畅游公园 first-time online bind).

  4. 4

    Climb to Wanchun Pavilion

    Central hill summit overlooks the Forbidden City axis.

  5. 5

    Watch the closing time

    In high season the last entry is 20:30 and the park closes at 21:00. Low-season hours are earlier.

Key pitfalls

  • Exhibition periods raise price to CNY 10 — check gate board.
  • Climb to Wanchun Pavilion for Forbidden City roof view — stairs can be steep/crowded at sunset.

畅游公园 requires a Chinese mainland mobile for first-time real-name bind. Use the gate window instead.

When is the best time for photos?

Late afternoon or sunset, for the Forbidden City roofs. Expect crowds on the summit stairs.
