Jingyi Garden (Fragrant Hills) is located in Fragrant Hills and is listed as one of Beijing’s third batch of municipal-level cultural heritage sites. It was first established during the Liao Dynasty. In the 26th year of the Dading era of the Jin Dynasty (1186), the Dayong’an Temple (later known as the Fragrant Hills Temple) was built. It was reconstructed into Jingyi Garden in the 10th year of the Qianlong reign during the Qing Dynasty. One of the Eight Views of Yanjing, “Snow-Covered Western Hills,” is located within the garden. The mountain is covered with smoke trees, and in autumn, the hills are ablaze with red foliage, forming a picturesque scene on the outskirts of the city.
