We walked to Tuancheng and pointed into the distance. Our friend said,"See, that's Zhongnanhai over there, the ultimate goal of all men." I laughed and didn't comment.

On Tuancheng, the Dayu Sea is said to be a national treasure, but I can't see what's special about it. Listening to my friend's story, the Dayu Sea changed from a national treasure to a pickled vegetable jar, and then back to a national treasure. It can also be said that it has a bad fate. My friend told me again that there are many animals on the Dayu Sea, but these animals all have the characteristics of fish. Let me see how many there are. I lost several times but didn't get it right (laughter). After some interactions and stories, this national treasure seems to be more plump.

Tuancheng is not big. We walked around and saw two trees giving rise to winners. We had to sigh that people are not as good as trees. The trees are all officials of the court and have been promoted to titles.

After getting off Tuancheng, we entered Beihai Park. In my impression, Beihai Park might be the white tower and the song "Let's sculls". After entering Beihai Park, I found that this place was much bigger than I thought. After entering the door, my friend had already taught me about Yong 'an Bridge. Yong' an Bridge looks like a straight bridge, but it is a curved bridge deck. It is very interesting and especially reflects the craftsmanship of the craftsmen.

In fact, after entering the Beihai Sea, my heart was focused on the White Tower. Since I saw the White Tower in a textbook when I was a child, I have always been very curious about the White Tower. Even today, I still have full marks of curiosity about the White Tower.

My friend introduced me all the way, but I didn't listen much. I was looking forward to going to the White Tower. Although I didn't listen carefully, I had a deep impression of some things, such as the lion's head facing inward at Yong 'an Bridge. I didn't look carefully, but I really didn't notice it. I found it a little interesting after reading it.

Due to my enthusiasm, we quickly reached the White Tower. After going up, a friend pointed to the stairs we had just walked and asked me,"Do you know how many steps there are?"

I looked at the stairs and thought for a while, and it was easy to say,"72 steps."

My friend was a little surprised, so I directly said that I was confused. My friend was quite surprised and didn't expect me to say it all in one go. In fact, it's not surprising. Usually temples or related places involve numbers. Numbers such as 12, 36, and 72 are particularly common numbers. The number of steps 72 is also one of the most common. Because 72 is the number of yin and yang poles and is also an important number in Buddhism, it is not surprising that it appears in Yong 'an Temple. After knowing this, my friend insulted me a few words, and then happily continued to shop.

After shopping for a while, a friend took me to a nice place-Haopu Jian. There was a stone archway at the entrance. It is said to be the only stone archway in the Beihai Sea, and it is also very rare in Beijing. I stopped for a while at the Shipailou. The archway was not big, but very interesting.

Haopujian has to say that it is a good place and I like it very much. Haopu is very comfortable to stay in, there are not many people, and the environment is quiet. The pavilion in Haopu stands on the water. In hot weather, the cool breeze blows in the shade of the pavilion, which is very comfortable.

I lingered in the Haopu Room for a while, took out the lunch I had prepared, ate it, sat lazily in the pavilion, looked at the fish swimming in the water, and didn't want to walk down at all. I just wanted to spend the afternoon leisurely in the pavilion.

Of course, just thinking about it, after more than half an hour, we continued to set out.

Walking north along the road by the lake, when I passed a small dam, a group of people gathered around the water's edge. I also went over and took a look. Everyone gathered around the water's edge to feed the koi carp in the water. I looked at the half-loaf that had not been eaten at noon and added to the feeding. After feeding, I found the sign on the shore prohibiting feeding. It was a moment of embarrassment, but when I saw the koi carp in the water happily accepting everyone's feeding, I suddenly didn't care much.

My mood is getting better and better, and my interest is getting higher and higher. My friends saw me in high spirits and told me a lot of strange stories about Beihai. Unfortunately, I didn't remember them, haha.

After walking along the lake for a while, my friend took me into a small road. After walking far, my friend became interested. He pointed to a wall in the distance and said to me: "See, there are only three Nine Dragons in the country. This is one of them. The other two are in Datong, Shanxi, and the other is in the Forbidden City. Moreover, this is the only two-sided Nine Dragons among the three."

My friends were very interested, and I was also very curious to go up and look left and right to take a photo, but there were so many people that I finally waited for nearly half an hour before I found a good opportunity to take a few photos.

I used up too much patience in Jiulong Wall, but I was actually a little absent-minded when I was shopping later. There was really nothing that interested me in particular.

Until I walked into the Kuaixue Hall, I had long heard of the reputation of the Kuaixue Hall. The golden silken nanmu hall, countless stone carvings with clear weather during the fast snow, wind and rain bamboos, etc. are all very famous. I came here because of it. There weren't many people in the Kuaixue Hall, and they basically came and left in a hurry. It is also a rare and quiet place. I looked at the stone copybooks on the wall, and the more I looked at them, the more I liked them. I really wanted to rubbings and take them back for collection (just thinking about it).

There were many walls on both sides of the copybook. My friends told me the details, but I forgot it later, but I really remembered a hidden stone carving because it was not very eye-catching on the rockery. Reading copybooks requires patience and love, otherwise it won't be considered enjoyment, but looking at wind and rain bamboo is really interesting. It is said that although wind and rain bamboo is a painted bamboo, it contains heaven and earth and contains calligraphy. However, my eyesight was poor, and I couldn't find the calligraphy they mentioned for a long time. When I was looking for it, there was also a young lady. She watched me stick to it and curiously asked me what I was looking for. When I said to find the calligraphy hidden in the painting, the young lady followed me to search for it for a long time. In the end, the little sister seemed to find some and tried to explain it to me. Maybe I was too stupid and didn't understand it at all. □ □||。

The wind and rain bamboo made me doubt my artistic talent, and the golden nanmu hall exposed my obsession with small money. A friend introduced me to the Golden Silk Nanmu Hall, which belonged to Qianlong and Lin Huiyin. I didn't remember anything and was thinking: How much would this hall be worth? It's not that you can't appreciate good things. It's true that the golden nanmu hall is too shocking. It can only be said that it seems low-key but is actually a place in Versailles. I guess I can't find anything as big as a pillar these days.

We stayed in Kuaixue Hall for two hours. Don't ask why it took so long, but we just couldn't bear to leave. When Kuaixuetang came out, it was nearly 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the weather was already a little cooler, but fortunately, my new coat worked. We continued to go to other places and finally shocked me in the western paradise, but we didn't take pictures. After all, it was never good to take pictures of Buddha statues. However, the feeling of the gods and Buddhas right in front of you is really shocking. The Buddha statues have different shapes and are arranged in an orderly manner. Although they are full, they are not chaotic. They look full of majesty and do not have a sense of oppression. The ability of this statue to create scenery is really shocking.

The day passed unknowingly. After coming out of the north gate of Beihai at night, I went directly to Shichahai and stayed until midnight before returning to the hotel. Although I had been walking in Beihai for a day, it was definitely worth it, from Tuancheng to Baita, then to Haopu, from feeding koi to Jiulong Wall, Kuaixue Hall, each place has its own characteristics, but it is integrated with each other and does not appear obvious. This is a place that will be a pity to miss.

The first day was over...

I haven't written much travel notes, so I wrote some in the form of essays. Although this trip to Beijing has passed for some time, I have gained a lot in retrospect. I want to share with you that Beijing is really a place you will miss if you are accidentally. I have visited several times and found new places.

Slowly make up for it in the next two days.
