		According to the principle of feng shui (Chinese geomancy), this hill would protect the Forbidden City from the evil spirits swooping in from the north, but it was on this hill that the last Ming emperor, Chongzhen, hanged himself from a tree before the Manchu conquerors could arrive (from the north, of course).
		Today, Jingshan is a pretty park that requires a steep walk from the Beautiful View Tower (Qiwang Lou), an exhibition hall at the southern foot, to the viewing pavilion (Pavilion of Everlasting Spring, wan chun ting) on its middle summit.

		Also, coming out the north gate and through Jingshan park doesn't mean you have to go back to the square - I'd do anything I wanted around Tiananmen first, then the palace, then Jingshan, and then walk (or more realistically a quick taxi ride after all that climbing) up to Houhai.
