Jingshan Park Ⅲ

There are several palaces at the foot of the hill. At the northern foot of the hill is the Shouhuang Palace (Hall of Imperial Longevity), where the portraits of the ancestors of the imperial family were housed. To the east of the Shouhuang Palace are located the Yongsi and the Guande Palaces which were used as the mourning place for the decreased emperors and empresses of the Qing Dynasty. Currently, Shouhuang Palace and Guande Palace function as children's palace and library.

At the foot of the hill there also stands a tree where it is believed that last emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644), Chongzhen took his life by hanging himself on the tree in 1644.
