How to get to the opposite of Forbidden City where Ming Emperor hanged himself?

[JohorRookie]

I have been to the Forbidden City twice but no chance to get to the hilltop at the back end of the palace where the last Emperor of Ming Dynasty hanged himself on the tree.

Is it possible to walk up to the spot ? Any other means of transport ? Or are we forced to pay Ah Tiong travel agency for a coach to bring us up ?

I would really like to catch a view of Forbidden City from the hilltop.

Yes I have been to that hilltop
Which is supposedly man made
From earth dug out to make moats
And lakes that surround palaces
Can't remember how I got there
But since I am topographically challenged
It must have been not too difficult
Howsa about walking right to very end

Anyway I remembered China public toilets
As being too filthy for me to even contemplate
So when nature called I peed on the hill
I hope it was not on the Emperor's grave
For clearly there was some plate in Chinese
On how he committed suicide which I read
While on that wretched hill with so so view

Thanks for the info. I would like to visit Meishan too if I am in Beijing.

The hill is called Jingshan 景山 and not Mei Mei

Its modern name is Jingshan. But during the time when Chongzhen hung himself, it was called meishan (charcoal hill). You are thinking too much of women.

Wu Yia Bo ? Which bus stop ?

Is the spot an open area or need to buy ticket to enter ?

Someone mentioned 500RMB, that is more than the price of ticket for Forbidden City.

Yes, after alighting from bus stop, turn left and walk straight until u reach a corner turn, turn left and walk for about 300m u will see a fire hydrant. Go near it and u will see a phone number scribble on the fire hydrant. That is the phone number of my tour guide who can assist u. Good luck.
