[About Food]: Beijing roast duck, hot-boiled mutton, fried tripe, bean juice, scorched rings, stewed boiling, doornail meat pie, fire, donkey rolling, etc. Quanjude's roast duck is famous all over the world. A group of four of us ordered a roast duck and four soups at Wangfujing restaurant. The total was less than 500 yuan. The master sliced the duck on the spot, but he thought it would not be enough, but he couldn't finish it at all. The main reason was too greasy. If you want to eat authentic hot-boiled mutton when you come to Beijing, you must go to Xiyuanju. It is located at No. 2, Qianmen Street. It is an old Beijing hot-boiled mutton restaurant worth a visit.

Xiyuanju Old Beijing Shabu Pork is definitely not the popular Chongqing hot pot Old Beijing Shabu mutton is the quality of fresh mutton clear soup, put green onions, ginger, wolfberry mutton, shabu a few times, pinch it, put it in the mahjong, and wrap it up. The taste, not to mention the full mutton aroma, delicious, is the kind of taste that becomes more addictive the more you eat

Beijing has developed public transportation, and subway lines cover basically all scenic spots.

the next day

Today, I got up early because I had to visit the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and Temple of Heaven Park today. Try to go before 10 o'clock. After 10 o'clock, the influx of a large number of tour groups will affect the tour experience!

When you come to travel to Beijing, you must go to Tiananmen Square to watch the raising of the national flag. When the five-star red flag rises slowly against the gentle breeze, the Chinese people on Anmen Square sang together that day: "Get up, those who are unwilling to be slaves, build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall, the Chinese nation has reached its most dangerous time..." Excited emotions arise spontaneously! She kept shouting to get up early and go to the flag-raising ceremony, but she couldn't get up. Although I couldn't catch up with the flag-raising ceremony and couldn't appreciate the solemnity of the national flag guard, this cloudless blue sky and the red flag fluttering in the wind were equally exciting!

Great Hall of the People! I always saw it in "News Network" in the past. When I saw it with my own eyes, I always imagined that the national leader would suddenly come out and wave to everyone. Soldiers in green uniforms and emcees in red cheongsam add a touch of color to the square.

Tiananmen Square in full costumes! This was in October, because the National Day has just passed, and the festive costumes on Tiananmen Square still exist. The colorful flowers create a festive atmosphere and make people sigh at the strength of the motherland!

Taihe Hall is what we call the Throne Hall. It is generally used to hold large-scale festival ceremonies! The largest existing wooden structure hall in China and the highest-specification palace in the Forbidden City. It can be seen from its roof structure that it has double eaves and roof! (The Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace are also the roofs of the halls with double eaves, but the scale is not as large as the Taihe Hall)

Taihe Temple Square is crowded with tourists.

In the Forbidden City, in front of every hall on the central axis, there are huge Han white jade stone carvings, which are generally moire, water, and dragon patterns, symbolizing the majesty of the royal family. This is the stone carving in front of the Taihe Hall and the largest one in the Forbidden City.

Since the main body of the Forbidden City is a wooden structure, fire prevention is particularly important, so such large copper vats can be seen everywhere. It is said that when the foreign powers invaded, they thought that the jar was made of gold, so they cut it with a knife, leaving mottled traces! (If it weren't for the guardrails around it, you would probably be touched by tourists until it was shiny and smooth. Cover your face!)

Exquisite Han white jade stone carvings

The architecture of the Forbidden City is quite particular. All halls must be built on such a giant platform. This will not only make the building strong, but also highlight the majesty of the royal family.

Yikun Palace, one of the six palaces in the east and west, is the bedroom of Consort Hua in the TV series "Legend of Zhen Huan".

Is this Xuanwu? (Four Great Divine Beasts: Green Dragon, White Tiger, Rosefinch, Xuanwu)

The door of Taihe Hall was jammed for a long time, and the equipment was also risked being crushed, just to take this photo-! (In fact, I think the dragon carpet on the ground is the essence.)

Qianqing Palace is the daily office place of the emperor. Everyone has the impression that the emperor went to court in the Golden Luan Hall (Taihe Hall). In fact, it is not. It is usually in the Qianqing Palace, and even in the Yangxin Hall in the later period. The old Buddha Cixi even works in the Summer Palace...

The interior of the Kunning Palace. When I visited it at that time, the Palace Museum decorated the wedding scene of the emperor and the queen. The main colors were red and yellow, full of Chinese style!

Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven is a place where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties sacrificed sacrifices to heaven and prayed for a bumper harvest of the grain. The main buildings include: Hall of Prayer for New Year, Circular Mound Altar, and Imperial Firmament.

The Hall of Prayer for New Year was built in the park in 1420. The Hall of Prayer for New Year is a circular building with a diameter of 32.72 meters. It has a gilded gold roof and blue tiles and three eaves and a spires. It is folded in layer upon layer, with a total height of 38 meters. There are 28 golden nanmu pillars in the Hall of Praying for New Year. The four pillars in the inner circle symbolize the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the 12 pillars in the middle circle symbolize the twelve months, and the 12 pillars in the outermost circle symbolize the twelve hours and the stars of the sky.

Looking up close at the Hall of Prayer for New Year, the beautiful painting decoration, the clever tenon and mortise structure, the almost perfect circle, and the triple roof all make people sigh at the superb skills of their ancestors.

Qianmen Street

When you arrive in Beijing, how can you not taste Beijing snacks? Boil, fire, fried liver, fried tripe, bean sauce...

When you go to Dazhalan in Qianmen, Beijing, you can taste all the delicious food in the capital. You really support the wall in and support the wall out!

Qianmen Street is one of the more representative places in old Beijing. Beijing's more famous Quanjude, Xiyuanju Old Beijing Shabu and other famous shops are all here, as well as a snack street.

This looks like crystal shrimp dumplings from a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant

In addition to these snacks, what is more worth mentioning is Beijing's hot-boiled mutton

Old Beijing hot pot belongs to a tributary of Chinese cuisine, which is halal cuisine. Many years later, we will still have deep memories of many beautiful things in life, especially delicious food. Although our living standards have improved now, sometimes we still recall the delicious food we ate back then and the taste it used to be. In addition to the exquisite ingredients and unique dips, the hot pot in the north, especially the hotpot in Beijing, is more important because she has the feeling of old Beijing and childhood memories.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt that the decoration was very distinctive, with an antique decoration style

When we arrived, it was basically full, and the waitress led us to the table.

The oldest hot pot in Xiyuanju is the kind with soup added to the chimney in the middle and around it. The roasted charcoal is thrown in from the chimney in the middle. When it comes to how to eat, it's very interesting. Nowadays, people pay attention to using public chopsticks when eating hot pot. Many people say that if they don't use public chopsticks, they won't be able to stand it. That was not the case at that time. There were no so-called public chopsticks. Everyone had a pair of chopsticks in each hand and ate them together. It felt fun.

The mutton used in Xiyuanju comes from the designated ranch in Sunite, Inner Mongolia. It ranges from small lambs less than half a year old to standard fat sheep in their early teens. The quality is very high. The biggest feature is that it is tender and the meat is very firm, ensuring the excellent original taste of the meat when shabu. This clear soup shabu is the biggest test for the quality of mutton. The picture below shows fresh mutton cut by meat cutters. There are strict regulations on the size and thickness of each piece of meat, and the requirements for cutting skills are very high.

My own fresh melon strips are very tender and tender

My own Hundred Days Sheep

Of course, the sauce was indispensable for hot-boiled mutton. The sauces used in Xiyuanju at that time were divided into seven types, namely sesame paste, soy sauce, rice wine, shredded leeks, chili oil, shrimp paste and fermented bean curd. These sauces were all made by the master who specially prepared the sauce carefully prepared the sauce

Pick up a piece of fresh meat slices, rinse, rinse again and stick the dipping sauce, and you can enjoy

The waitress has been patrolling to add soup to everyone's hot pot.

After a delicious meal, the sky had already darkened, and the night view at the front door was great.

the third day

summer Palace

Today's task is to visit two royal gardens: the Summer Palace and Yuanmingyuan

Summer Palace: Formerly called Qingyi Garden, it is a large-scale landscape garden built with Kunming Lake and Wanshou Mountain as the base site and Hangzhou West Lake as the blueprint. It is also the most completely preserved royal palace and imperial garden. It is known as the "Royal Garden Museum" and is also a national key tourist attraction.

The seventeen-hole bridge connects the small island in the center of Kunming Lake. I remember I learned a text called "Summer Palace" in primary school, which focused on introducing the seventeen-arch bridge!

Wenchang Yuan is the largest of the six city buildings in the Summer Palace. Wenchang Yuan Museum is the largest and highest-grade cultural relics exhibition hall among Chinese classical gardens.

In the courtyard, the exquisite corridor

The Buddha Fragrance Pavilion plaque, the old Buddha wants to live forever, and the plaque is directly named-Wanshou Endless...

The Summer Palace Promenade is between the southern foot of Wanshou Mountain and the Hubei bank of Kunming. It has a total length of 728 meters and a total of 273 rooms with 548 columns. The corridor is famous for its exquisite architecture, twists and turns and rich colored paintings. It is the longest corridor among ancient buildings and gardens in my country.

The three-story theater can perform fantasy plays and can travel to the sky and earth! Cixi's extravagant life is amazing!

From the Foxiang Pavilion, you overlook Kunming Lake and have a panoramic view of the Summer Palace!

yuanmingyuan

Yuanmingyuan, built in 1709, is adjacent to the Summer Palace and consists of Yuanmingyuan, Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden, so it is also called the Three Yuanmingyuan Gardens.

The garden covers an area of more than 340 hectares, a building area of 200,000 square meters, and has more than 150 views. It is known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". The Qing Emperor came here every summer to escape the heat, listen to politics, and handle military and political affairs, so it was also called the "Summer Palace". In 1860, the British and French allied forces burned down Yuanmingyuan. After looting, it was eventually turned into ruins.

The ruins of Xiyanglou, what they looked like after the plunder by the British and French coalition forces, imagine how magnificent it would have been if it had not been burned down.

Maze is a place where the emperor and his concubines play and play. It is said that the old emperor will play hide-and-seek with his beloved concubine here. Can the old emperor catch this winding thing? Cover your face!

the fourth day

Badaling Great Wall

You are not a hero who has not reached the Great Wall, but you are not necessarily a hero who has arrived at the Great Wall, haha!

The Badaling Great Wall is located at the north entrance of the Guangou Ancient Road in Jundu Mountain, Yanqing District, Beijing City. It is an important part of the Ming Great Wall and the most well-preserved section of the Great Wall to date. It is the essence of the Great Wall.

The Great Wall, like a dragon, meanders between the mountains and mountains!

Staggered by holidays, there are few tourists on the Great Wall. Whether it is sightseeing or taking photos, everything is so casual.

When you visit the Great Wall, try to take away the garbage with you, let alone throw it away at will. Sanitation workers climb up and down every day to clean it is very hard. In order to create a good travel experience for everyone, they consciously protect the environment.

quanjude

When you come to Beijing, how can you not experience an authentic Peking Duck?

The master was skillful in slicing ducks on site. In a short while, there was only a duck rack left!

The master puts duck skin on one plate, belt meat on one plate, and pure meat on one plate. Then the duck rack allows you to pack and take away.

Lotus leaf cake, wrapped in roast duck, shredded green onion, sweet flour sauce, take a bite, and your mouth will flow with oil ~

the fifth day

Gong Wang Fu, the largest royal palace in the Qing Dynasty, was once the residence of Heshen and Yonglin. In 1851, Prince Gong Xin became the owner of the house, and the name Gong Wang Mansion was given.

It is rumored that when He Shen built his mansion, he copied the imperial palace, so the existing Gong Wang Mansion is extraordinary. It is said that this was one of the crimes convicted by Emperor Jiaqing for robbing Heshen's house!

The back garden of Prince Gong's Mansion is comparable to the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City! How can Emperor Jiaqing tolerate such extravagance!

Lama Temple

Yonghe Palace is the residence of Prince Yinzhen, the fourth son of Kangxi. In the ninth year of Qianlong, Yonghe Palace was transformed into a Lama Temple, and the Prime Minister Affairs Wang was appointed to manage the affairs of the palace. It can be said that Yonghegong was the highest standard Buddhist temple in the country in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

The elegant environment of Yonghe Temple makes the hearts of devout Buddhist worshippers feel like water!

National Olympic sports Center

The Bird's Nest, also known as the National Stadium, is the main venue of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It is named because it looks like the Bird's Nest!

The Water Cube, the National Aquatics Center, the main venue for the water events of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, is now one of Beijing's landmark buildings!

In fact, you only need to take a look at these two attractions outside.

A pleasant journey, here!

The footsteps of walking did not stop!~~
