Every summer vacation, she takes her daughter-in-law and son on a trip. Although her daughter-in-law does not like to travel and prefers to sleep late, she must make some sacrifices for her son. From 14 years in Taiwan, 15 years in Jiangsu, 16 years in Hong Kong and Macao, 17 years in Hubei, 18 years in Chengdu, Hanzhong and Xi'an, as the child grows older, he will gain more and more things every time. This summer vacation was supposed to take my parents and their family of five to Beijing, but a week before going to Beijing, my mother developed mumps and had to give up, so they traveled to Beijing as a family of three.

Recommended food: Four Seasons Minfu's Beijing Roast Duck Manfulou Tongshuan Hotpot Qingfeng steamed buns Arctic Ocean soda (I love to drink) Bean juice scorched rings (I want to smell it makes me want to vomit, but I can eat it)

I don't like it: braised (it doesn't work if you smell it) fried liver and tripe (not used to it)

The first thing to do is not to be too tired when traveling with the baby (it turns out that the child's energy is far better than that of my daughter-in-law and I), so we basically return to the hotel before 8 o'clock and go to bed before 9 o'clock.

DAY1(Friday, Hangzhou-Beijing): Because we still have to work that day, we can only travel at night. There are two options for going out at night. 20: I arrived at Beijing Station at 9 a.m. the next morning. The first-class lower berth was 758 yuan for adults, and the children's ticket was dozens of yuan cheaper. Originally, my parents went together, but I booked the mobile bedroom early. As a result, my mother was sick and my father stopped going, so I had no choice but to cancel the two train tickets, but we found that the three of us were left in two private rooms. The daughter-in-law said that her son was taken away after sleeping soundly at night (This train would stop for 5 minutes after arriving in Nanjing in the middle of the night.) I was asked to change it to a plane, but had no choice but to refund the ticket (a total of 150 yuan was lost in handling fees). I changed it to a flight at 11:30 p.m., and spent the night at the hotel next to the Capital Airport, planning to enter the city the next morning. But often the reality is cruel. Planes are late. Xiaoshan International Airport deserves to be the airport with the second highest delay rate in the world (first in Jakarta).

Finally, it took off until 2:55 in the morning, and it was already past 5 o'clock in Beijing. Fortunately, the hotel I booked has 24-hour free airport pickup service. I took my luggage and went to the hotel, then fell asleep, and woke up at 10 o'clock.

DAY2 (Entering the City-Tiananmen Square): There is a bus to the city right at the entrance of the hotel, and it takes an hour to get to the Dongzhimen Bus Station. The hotel I booked on Ctrip is in Bada Hutong. The main place is close to Tiananmen Square, which is convenient to watch the flag raising. In an average budget hotel in that area, it costs at least 600 yuan or more. I booked a double standard and two types of beds 1.2 meters wide, so that my daughter-in-law and I would not sleep so crowded. After putting away my luggage, I went to the hutong to find something to eat. After leaving the door and turning left, you will see a small restaurant. The owner is from Beijing (and chef), and the owner is from Hangzhou (fellow villager). What's interesting is that this restaurant has no menu. The restaurant is not big, only 4 tables, so we can make an appointment to eat there. We were lucky that one table happened to be empty. When I was shameless, the boss promised to cook three dishes for us (only three dishes were given), so I ordered noodles, vinegar wood whiskers, and bean paste. Let's try Beijing food first, it's really good... Those who came to eat were all locals who lived nearby, all regular customers. After dinner, I borrowed a shared bicycle and went to Tiananmen Square (my daughter-in-law carried my son, two people on a bench, level ~~). It took a 15-minute journey. In fact, I just went to step on the spot and find out the best locations to view the Great Hall of the People, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, National Museum of China, and the flag-raising ceremony.

Dinner: Four Seasons Minfu Roast Duck Restaurant (front store), queue for an hour, during which you can stroll around Qianmen Dazhalan Commercial Street, where you can visit Daoxiang Village and Liubiju. The roast duck is very good, tender, fluent and the chef's cutting skills are also good.

(PS: Photo taken at Four Seasons Minfu Roast Duck Restaurant, recommend their fried noodles... Children have a reading task for half an hour every day. As long as they are waiting for meals during the trip, they must take out their books. There is no need to negotiate)

DAY3 (Chairman Mao Memorial Hall-Military Museum): I went to bed at around 8 o'clock the night before (my son also wanted to see it). Because the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall opened at 7 o'clock and closed at 11 o'clock, I woke my son up at 6 o'clock. My daughter-in-law stopped going to sleep and ate Xiaolongbao on the way. Then I walked there (Without a daughter-in-law's ability to ride a bicycle with children), it was already 6:55 after half an hour's journey to the front of the memorial hall. Unexpectedly, the line in front of the memorial hall would circle three times. It was already our turn. It was 9:30 o'clock. When we walked into the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, our hearts became quiet unknowingly. At this time, there was only a sense of reverence in our hearts, because we were not allowed to stay inside, so we only had less than 1 minute before and after paying homage to Chairman Mao's remains (PS: The Chairman Mao Memorial Hall is not allowed to bring bags and water, so please try to buy good water when you go and drink it before entering the gate.).. Because today is Sunday, and our family of three are going to church for worship. The church is 3 stops away from Tiananmen Square, and the service starts at 10:30... After church, I went to the Military Museum after lunch. The military museum was very large and displayed a variety of weapons. I never finished watching it until the museum closed. Military fans are worth recommending, so you must go.

Dinner: Huguo Temple snacks. Recommended bean juice and scorched rings. As long as you have the courage, you must try it. I always thought bean juice was our soy milk. When I brought it up, I realized that this thing was processed by fermentation of mung beans. It made me vomit when I smelled it, just like the taste of rancid food, but after I mustered up the courage to try it, I got used to it on the second bite... In addition, the snacks at Huguo Temple are mainly sweets. When you eat, you can order less to avoid getting tired of eating them. In fact, Beijing food is sweeter than Hangzhou food. Personally, I suggest not to go to a Beijing restaurant to eat every day, because I don't know which one is authentic, but its credibility is actually not very high. If you read many good reviews, go eat, and sometimes you will be deceived. In fact, it is also good to go to Niujie to eat some halal occasionally.

DAY4 (Mondays, all buildings around Tiananmen Square are closed. Today, we have to go to Tsinghua University and Yuanmingyuan): As I said earlier, Tsinghua University is not open for visitors on Mondays, but as long as there are acquaintances inside, you can ask acquaintances to bring them in. Moreover, visiting Tsinghua University requires an appointment a week in advance, and it is difficult to make an appointment. It is a rush to grab it at 12 o'clock in the morning. We chose Monday because there were few people on that day and Tsinghua University was worth visiting, especially with our children. It was a great significance to sign up in advance. There are many restaurants open to the public in Tsinghua University, and lunch can be served in Tsinghua University. Every teaching building and every scenic spot in Tsinghua University has his story. At this time, the small Bluetooth stereo is useful, and the children listen carefully.

After visiting Tsinghua University, you can ride a shared bicycle to Yuanmingyuan or the Summer Palace, because it is unrealistic to see both gardens in one afternoon, so I can only choose one or the other. I think Yuanmingyuan is more meaningful. (PS: Yuanmingyuan is very big. I suggest you finish viewing the Xiyanglou ruins and restored models, because other places no longer exist. The ticket for the Yuanmingyuan ruins is 25 yuan. You can imagine if this garden had not been burned down, how many tickets would it cost?

DAY5 (Tuesday, Forbidden City): Spend a day visiting the Forbidden City today. Because the Forbidden City is very big, it takes a day to walk non-stop to see all the attractions. By arriving at the ticket gate of the Forbidden City at 10:45, it was already crowded (PS: Tickets for the Forbidden City during the summer must be booked online more than one day in advance. Tickets are not sold on site, so you must book tickets on Ctrip in advance). Entering the park was smooth. After waiting for 10 minutes, I entered the park. Personally, I suggest visiting a few halls on the central axis first, and then going to the harem to have a look. When it is about 3 o'clock, I will run to the line on the right road, because there were fewer people in the Treasure Museum and the Watch Museum at that time. When I went at 12 o'clock, there was a traffic restriction there, and it took about 40 minutes to queue for our turn. I personally recommend going to the Treasure Museum and the Watch Museum. The treasures and various clocks inside will open your eyes. If time is too late, I personally suggest that the clock museum should be abandoned by the treasure museum. Tickets are 10 yuan per museum and can be purchased on site. The Forbidden City closes at 5 o'clock. Enter through the Meridian Gate and exit the Shenwu Gate. After leaving the Forbidden City, you can go to the mountain opposite Jingshan Park to have a bird's eye view of the Forbidden City. We have been walking for a whole day and can't climb, so we didn't go to Jingshan Park. If you are energetic, you can try it. If you want to go to Manfulou to eat hot pot, you can take No. 101 at the bus stop where you turn right after exiting Shenwu Gate and get off at the intersection of Dongdaqiao. You will have to walk another 200 meters. There is no need to wait in line to eat in Manfu Building before 6 o'clock.

DAY6 (Wednesday, Eastern Qing Dynasty): The Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty is located in Malanyu, Zunhua, Hebei Province. After reading "The Thief of the Eastern Tomb", I have always been obsessed with it, so I booked a tour group to the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty in advance and took the 9:00 long-distance bus at Sihui Station to go straight to the Eastern Tomb that day. After two hours of bumpy travel, we finally arrived at the gate of the Eastern Tomb at 11:30. The tour guide in the scenic area took us on the shuttle bus and entered the mausoleum area. On the bus, we listened to the tour guide telling the story of the Eastern Tomb and some interesting stories about the tomb keepers. Then the car arrived at Cixi Tomb. The visiting route is the Mausoleum Guardians Museum (30 yuan for admission)-the Tomb of Cixi (open to the underground palace)-the Garden of Consort Yuling (open to the palace of Consort Rong, which is the prototype of Consort Xiangfei on the Huanzhu Gege and the underground palace of the Pure Consort)--the Yuling of Qianlong (open to the underground palace). The tour guide gave detailed instructions all the way, which was a very good benefit for the tomb control. Nowadays, descendants of those tomb keepers have begun to contract land to grow fruits, or open farms and restaurants. Therefore, they will find that there will be an orchard or some fruit stalls or restaurants between the two tombs, and even farmhouses. I wonder what it would be like to spend the night in a farmhouse there. The visit ended at 3:15. Because there was no time, we didn't go to Jingling in Kangxi and Xiaoling in Shunzhi. Because the shuttle bus was about 10 kilometers away from the entrance of the scenic area, which took half an hour. The bus came at 4:00 to pick us up. Back to Beijing.

(At the entrance to the underground palace of Yuling in Qianlong, the three of us are wearing parent-child costumes today. My son listened very carefully and watched very seriously. Even fellow people and tour guides praised him, saying that it is rare for such a young child to listen so carefully. In fact, boys 'hobbies are largely influenced by their fathers.)

(Yellow flat peaches are grown by the tomb keeper himself. They are 5 yuan per catty. They are so sweet. This bag of 8 peaches weighs more than two kilograms. I feel crazy with my hands. There is no shortage of two kilograms. They only charged me 10 yuan.)

DAY7 (Tiananmen Flag Raising Ceremony-Mutianyu Great Wall) It had been raining in the early hours of those days in Beijing. It was hard to see the rain in the early morning today. We got up decisively and headed straight to Tiananmen Square. We arrived at 4 o'clock, but it was already crowded with people. Everyone worked hard to get a good position. We were already in almost the eighth row. There are four places to see the flag raising at Tiananmen Square where you can pass security. If you want to see the guard of honor coming out of the outer Jinshui Bridge, you have to go through the security check on Chang 'an Street. If you want to see the flag raising closer, you can go in through the security check at the entrance of the Great Hall of the People or the National Museum. Waiting is also a tough thing. I suggest you prepare a small bench. Don't mention how excited you are when the guard of honor comes out. Get your selfie stick and mobile phone ready. It was 5:30 after the flag-raising was over. We took the subway to the Mutianyu Great Wall Scenic Area through train pick-up point and waited. Because the departure was 7:30, we found McDonald's in the annex, had breakfast, and took a nap. The journey to the Mutianyu Great Wall takes one and a half hours. I get there at about 8:30. Then, when the guide on the through train picks up the ticket, I can climb the Great Wall at 9:00. Just return to the visitor center before 3:00, and then take the bus. Set off back to Beijing. Regarding the Mutianyu Great Wall, it may not be as famous as the Badaling Great Wall, but foreign heads of state come to China to climb the Great Wall to Mutianyu, so we can often see foreigners here, more frequently than in Hong Kong. Compared with the crowded Badaling Great Wall, the real way to climb the Great Wall and see the scenery in Mutianyu, while Badaling takes the stairs to see the heads of people. It's only 4:30 when I get back to Beijing. I can sleep on the bus. If I have the energy, I can go to Shichahai and Nanluogu Lane to visit (Nanluogu Lane is not recommended, but I promise to regret it if I go there).

DAY8 (National Museum of China-Back to Hangzhou) I slept until I woke up naturally in the morning. I booked a visit to the National Museum one day in advance. Then I checked out, left my luggage in the hotel, and went to Qingfeng Steamed Bun Shop for breakfast. I must have my stomach stuffed. Then I went straight to the National Museum and just looked around it slowly. Because it was the high-speed train at 7 p.m., it was not possible. After basically visiting the museum, I returned to the hotel at 5 p.m., picked up my luggage and went to Beijing South Railway Station (4 subway stops).

This trip to Beijing gained a lot. Because I had done a lot of homework in advance, the trip was relatively smooth. In seven days, I visited several major scenic spots. I couldn't go to Gong's Mansion, Imperial College Museum and the Great Hall of the People (which was closed for meetings), and I didn't even go to the eight major alleys. Prime Minister Liu Luoguo went to the emperor to find Sai Diao Chan. It was a pity that Shaanxi Lane was there.

Some personal suggestions for traveling in Beijing: 1. First of all, you can bring a small Bluetooth slightly and hear it clearly. It can be used in the Forbidden City, Yuanmingyuan, and Tsinghua University. It has many benefits. Many tourists see us and ask how we did it. 2. Regarding transportation, I all use buses or subways. Beijing's public transportation system is very developed. There is a direct subway to almost every attraction. There is no need for drips or taxis. 3. About the tour route: It takes a day to visit major attractions such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Look slowly and walk slowly. Go to one place a day. Go to bed early and get up early so that you won't be too tired and rushed (PS The Great Wall is not recommended to go to Badaling because there are too many tourists there. I recommend the Mutianyu Great Wall (you can climb at night) Beijing has opened a professional tourist bus for the Mutianyu Great Wall, and there is a shuttle bus opposite the Railway Museum on Qianmen Street). 4. Regarding watching the flag-raising ceremony, if you want a seat in front, you have to go early. It is best to arrive one and a half hours in advance. It is best to take a folding stool and sit while waiting. After the flag-raising ceremony, it is recommended to choose the Mutianyu Great Wall that day, so that you can sleep for an hour and a half on the road. Personally, it is not recommended to go to the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall after watching the flag raising, and then go to the Forbidden City or the National Museum. This is a way of self-abuse. So you can watch the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, because these places are closed on Mondays. 5. Regarding eating, when it takes a day in the Forbidden City, you usually buy KFC outside, or sandwiches and milk, and bring them in to eat. This saves time, and the restaurants in the scenic area are terrible and have many people. In addition, don't find restaurants to eat in commercial streets such as Nanluogu Lane, especially those with time-honored brands written on them and were built in a certain year. This place is a one-time deal. The price is expensive and unpalatable. I met such a restaurant in Nanluogu Lane. I ordered Old Beijing Zhajiang Noodles and Shaomai, but I couldn't eat it after taking a bite. If you want to eat Peking Duck, anyway, I heard from Beijingers that Beijingers generally don't go to Quanjude. I went to Four Seasons Minfu Roast Duck Restaurant. There are many chain stores in Beijing. It is recommended that you can eat before 5 o'clock, otherwise you will have to queue up for a waiting table if you are late. 5. Regarding what is worth buying, at least don't buy roast duck. The vacuum-packed roast duck will be waiting for you to take home. Hehe... Better bring some tuckahoe cakes and preserved fruits, which are sold in Beijing supermarkets.
