Then our guide will walk with you to the Scenery Hill, yet remembered by most Beijing seniors as the Coal Hill. It is said the site for the hill was originally coal was placed for warming and construction of the
Forbidden City. Later the coal was used up and earth excavated from digging the city moat was piled to form the hill we see today. To exclude the modern skyscrapers, this hill is the top point within the city area and offers the best bird's eye view of both the whole Forbidden City as well as the modern Beijing City.
