景 is made from 日, meaning “sun,” and 京, meaning “capital” or a tall place. The sun shining over buildings or a wide area creates a clear view. From this idea of light revealing what can be seen, 景 came to mean scenery, view, or scene.
When the sun shines over a place, the view becomes clear. That visible scene is 景.
Imagine sunlight shining over a city or wide land. What you see in front of you is the 景.
