Beijing weather: sunny

With whom: Friends

Accommodation: Yujing Nanluo Hotel

Comments: The location of the store is very good. It is convenient to stroll around Nanluogu Lane Hutong. Walking directly to Houhai, the Drum Tower is not far away. The staff are also very friendly and the foot bath at night is very comfortable! I didn't take the bus before going out and planned to try it, but they gave me change. In short, it was a very comfortable stay and I recommend it.

1. High-speed rail round-trip: Babies are free without seats. The whole journey to buy Fuxing is three hours and forty minutes. The main reason is that it is convenient for high-speed rail activities with children.
2. Transportation in Beijing: Except for the last day, we chose to take taxis for convenience and speed. Transportation in Beijing is still very convenient. In order to avoid traffic jams, you can choose the subway. However, if you are traveling and are not in a hurry, it is best to use the bus because you can see the scenery along the way.
PS: Beijing buses must swipe their card once when getting on and off the bus. Don't forget to get off the bus, or will the full fare for the longest mileage of the train you take be automatically deducted. In addition, the most convenient thing is to download the "Beijing Public Transport" APP from a mobile client and bind it to Alipay to scan the code directly. If you are on the subway, you can directly scan the code on Weixin Pay before entering the station, which is very convenient.
Beijing's buses are the true color of the political center.

3. Transportation of scenic spots: We took an old Beijing rickshaw in Nanluogu Lane for 180 yuan without bargaining, but we felt that it was slightly expensive and was cheated. We should go around more. There was no extra consumption.
4. Hotel: Dongcheng Regent, a prime location, 800 yuan/night, including double breakfast. Bao Dad booked it with a credit card. It's a good deal. The service is great, especially the room service; the key is that there are many surrounding attractions and there are many delicious food. Downstairs are the subway entrance and Wangfujing. Although there are not many varieties of breakfast, the taste is good and exquisite, so the overall situation is very nice! Recommended for cracked walls!
You can see the Forbidden City from a distance from the hotel, but the floor I live in is not high enough. In addition, I ignore the poor picture quality of my mobile phone.

Let's talk about the itinerary again

I had done my homework seriously. Because traveling with a child can't just choose my own favorite, I have to consider what children like and what is suitable for them, whether the surrounding transportation is convenient, whether there are suitable restaurants, and whether the children can learn knowledge, so I locked in universities, libraries, science and technology museums and the like. So, the following picture is my carefully planned "I think" itinerary:

However, children should not "Mom thinks", only "I think". After arriving in Beijing, my sleepy baby couldn't wake up in the morning. He returned to the hotel at noon and went to bed when he went out in the afternoon. It was cold and he didn't bring a baby carriage, so he had to take him back to the hotel or find a shopping mall or restaurant to hug him and watch him sleep. Moreover, it was difficult to eat a well-known meal in Greater Beijing, and there were also various queues at noon on weekdays, so many restaurants gave up because of their children. To sum up, the final check-in result is as follows:

Take a look. I didn't go anywhere, just accompanying my baby normally and three meals a day. Because my friends were too lively and active, and didn't bring equipment, they hardly took many photos. Oh，My God!
So whatever, let's talk about our annual baby trip ~

Day1: Not counting the itinerary, I actually charmed cabbage and tofu

Here, I would like to thank the "Uncle Peanut" who helped us temporarily baby-sit in Jinan, so that I could rest assured of taking the exam and Bao Bao could have a meeting with peace of mind. Then we met in Jinan to make this trip to Beijing. Thanks very much!
I arrived at Beijing South Railway Station in the evening, carrying my luggage and a baby. On the way to the hotel, I felt the traffic jam in Beijing. Finally, I arrived at the hotel and put down my things and was hungry. I wanted to try the Four Seasons People's Blessings, but when I arrived, I found that it was almost 8 o'clock. There were still 20 tables waiting in front of me. The children couldn't wait. We were hungry too, so we went to the Mr. Zhao's hotpot restaurant we saw when we came. There was no need to queue, so let's go!
However, the taste was reasonable, and I didn't feel like eating it. The sesame oil was too greasy. The beef was of better quality and taste than the mutton. In the end, the best thing to eat was cabbage and tofu!
Really, the tofu was quivering suddenly in the hot copper pot. Its white body was particularly tempting surrounded by boiling water and steam. When you picked it up with chopsticks, you could deeply feel its softness and elasticity. However, it was so knowledgeable about the world, charming and willful. As long as the force was right, it could still be picked up in the whole without breaking it. You could then carefully "fool" it into the bowl, even if you didn't dip it in the sauce, even if you knew that the upper jaw would be scalded, I couldn't help but take a bite "hissing", just leave my mouth half-open and let it pour in my mouth, feeling the unique bean aroma and softness it exudes in the broth.
Let's talk about cabbage. First of all, it is a good cabbage with tender and tender cabbage hearts. Then perch it thoroughly in the boiling broth. When you pick it up, the oily soup hangs brightly, like a big skirt dancing in the wind under the spotlight. Hold back your saliva and cool it for a while. Don't dip it here. Slide into the mouth, the oil absorbed when the cabbage is stewed is perfectly blended with the sweetness of the cabbage itself. All the flavors are so just right, instantly capturing all the taste buds. I lament that the delicious food in the world is a joy ~ Summarize this store, there is no need to come specially. I can still eat it once in a while or if I don't want to queue up. Except for tofu and cabbage, which impressed me deeply, everything else is just so. (There are no pictures here, purely thoughts)
Every night when I go back to the hotel, Bao Dad will take the baby to the swimming pool so that the child's physical strength can be exhausted as soon as possible and he can fall asleep early.

Here's the key point!

When I woke up the next morning, it was cloudy and it looked like it was going to snow. I was a little looking forward to it. After we finished packing, the child was still sleeping soundly. Today, we had an appointment to visit Tsinghua University, and we couldn't get in after midnight. We were afraid of forcibly pulling the child up and making a tantrum, so we had to save the country by pulling curtains and turning on lights., talking loudly to make him aware. Finally, I got the little guy up. After a lot of work, I took a taxi and quickly set off for Tsinghua University.
The college road leading to Tsinghua University is really crowded with 985 students, and every school is filled with envy. diagonally opposite the west gate of Tsinghua University is Peking University. Across the wall and the road, you can see the spire of the Boya Tower on the shores of the Weiming Lake...
Then there is a queue for security checks and a swipe of ID cards. There are two doors at the security checkpoint. After entering, you have to take a long path separated by a fence, which clearly distinguishes Tsinghua people from visitors. In order to make it easier for me to enter Tsinghua University, I can only hope that my children will pass the exam themselves. In fact, I am not picky. Any school on the road to Beijing College will do, baby.
Studying and living in a campus environment like Tsinghua University and walking into ancient buildings, I am ashamed to have no culture. The atmosphere and feelings are sometimes very important, so bring children to edify them.

This is the office of President Tsinghua University! The door was closed and the style was extraordinary, so I had to take pictures at the door!

No one is allowed to enter the teaching building. There are guards at the entrance. Only students of our school can swipe their cards in.

The picture below shows the ancient library in Tsinghua University, which is being renovated and is now not allowed to enter.

While walking in Tsinghua Garden, a little boy who came to visit suddenly ran over and asked me very seriously: "Sister, are you a student of Tsinghua University? I want to ask for directions."~ Oh my God, old aunt, I am so excited. Do I look like a student of Tsinghua University? I am so young. Hehe, after the excitement, I face reality. The gap between me and Tsinghua University is countless. My IQ does not allow me to enter Tsinghua University.

I wanted to take my children to the Natural History Museum in the afternoon, but the children peed their pants and had to take a taxi back to the hotel. On the way, the children fell asleep and slept for the whole afternoon. The plan was completely disrupted and the hotel was started for the afternoon.
I ate riverside patties near the hotel at night. This restaurant is located in Yidaotong Village, and the door is not attractive. After entering the house, it is steaming hot and there is an endless stream of diners, which gives me a feeling that it should be delicious. I ordered the signature beef patty, spinach egg patty, Qianlong cabbage, fried two things, hot and sour soup. The service is fast, the food is served quickly, the quantity is large, and the price is moderate. It is a good choice for daily small dining.
Beef patty is the kind with a dead dough and is very strong to bite; there is a layer of strong beef filling in the middle, thick oil and red sauce, and the meat aroma is very strong. Although it is not amazing, the taste is in line with imagination and is worth a try. In the middle of winter, sitting in a warm restaurant, taking a bite of the hot and oily patty and spicy soup, the taste buds and pores will instantly open, and the whole body will feel warm and comfortable. It is a perfect match in winter. The spinach egg cake has a lot of ingredients, but it tastes normal, but it still smells like meat.

Qianlong cabbage, with a domineering name, is actually a cold cabbage heart with sesame sauce. The sesame sauce has the sweet and sour taste. I don't like it, but Bao Dad loves this bite and eats it happily.

The two dishes are stir-fried pork liver and kidney flowers. The quantity is sufficient and the stir-fried is very tender. It is especially suitable for serving with rice. The only drawback is that it is a little salty. In addition, I feel that Beijing's dishes particularly like to put starch. There is thick starch in stir-fried dishes and soups, which makes them rich and shiny in color and mellow in soup. However, I feel like there is pressure to get fat, so I can't help but be a little cautious when eating it.
After dinner, we went to Wangfujing Street for a walk to digest food. There is a Lego flagship store that attracted the attention of children. It is designed with a particularly down-to-earth atmosphere and is full of Chinese elements of the Forbidden City. It is colorful and magnificent. Almost all of them were children and students inside. It was a bit noisy, colorful, and I felt a little dizzy after staying for a while.

After coming out of Lego, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was snowing. The moment I walked out, I was in the beautiful scenery of "making flying flowers through the trees in the courtyard". The snowflakes fell playfully on the nose and cheeks, and the joy and joy were like a little elf jumping and spinning on his face. The farther you go, the snow becomes heavier. You can see clear icy snowflake patterns when you open your hand and land on your palm. The children were even more happy, cheering and running around with their hands open to catch snowflakes, their eyes flashing with sparkling happiness, twikle twikle little star

Day3: I fell in love with roast duck

When I woke up in the morning, the snow on the road had been well cleared. Only the snow on the roof of the tree tops told people that it had snowed last night.
It is said that when it snows, Beijing becomes Peiping, and when it snows, the Forbidden City becomes the Forbidden City. With my child, I didn't plan or catch up to go to the Forbidden City to watch the snow. Then I would like to overlook the Forbidden City from the hotel and imagine the beautiful scenery of "white snow inlaid with red walls and broken pieces falling on the fragrance" in my mind.
The following picture is taken from different angles in the hotel room. The second picture really has the artistic conception of "suddenly like a spring breeze coming overnight, thousands of trees and pear blossoms blooming".

All museums are closed today, so I went to Niujie after breakfast, planning to have a day of shopping and eating. Previously, I read a food blogger on Weibo who recommended Hongji steamed buns and toothpick meat from Niujie. I really love steamed buns filled with beef and mutton, and decided to give it a try.
As the saying goes,"It's not cold when it snows." When I went out, I specially changed my baby's woolen hat to protect his ears. Unexpectedly, the little guy pulled it off and insisted on bringing the beret with coffee lattice. I said it was cold, but people said,"This beret is brewed!" Hehe, I'm too rough for a mother. A little boy at this age loves beauty more than I do.
We arrived at Niujie at around 10 a.m., and it was Monday morning, and there were actually long queues. Even Jubaoyuan's hot pot was lined up outside the door. God, the "foodies" are so thoughtful, this business is really good. During the queuing process, I found that many of them were old Beijingers, and I had more expectations for the taste. Shake it left and right, lift my chin and look again. Finally it was my turn. The steaming and loud soft big bag was smashed. Three mutton and beef came in each, and I couldn't wait to bite it in one bite. Oh, the skin was soft enough but too thick. The oil soup was overflowing but too salty. It felt like there wasn't much meat, but the meat buns at 2.5 yuan each were really cost-effective. The taste was the kind that I would not come here to eat again.

Next stop, Tiananmen Square. Driving through Chang 'an Street, Tiananmen Square is still majestic when viewed from the car. When entering Tiananmen Square, you still need to swipe your ID card and check it out. The surrounding area is full of armed police and plainclothes clothes. So I found a road that was not open to traffic, let go of the children's hands, and ran happily. It was very safe.

There is an open space behind the Monument to the People's Heroes. There is thick snow on it that has not yet been cleared. It is a place for children and young people to play. Tourists are making snowmen and having snowball fights on it. My children also run over and have fun. When they are excited, they only have happiness in their eyes. They don't care that their little fleshy hands are red with cold, and their little cotton shoes are already soaked through. So I had to take the baby again and rush back to the hotel to change socks and shoes.
In the morning, there was a rich hotel breakfast and solid steamed buns. No one was hungry, so they chose to continue to go out and wander. They went downstairs and took the subway to the Lama Temple and the Hutong. The Lama Temple subway station was designed to look like a palace gate, which was retro and expensive.
Outside the subway entrance is Wudaoying Hutong, as well as various hutongs whose names are unclear. Wudaoying Hutong has been developed into a small commercial street, filled with various romantic coffee shops, restaurants and clothing stores, as well as old Beijing residents. Other surrounding hutongs are really residential residents, commonly known as Da Miscellaneous Courtyard. Those who wear cotton shoes, cotton clothes, hands behind their backs, walnut strings in their hands, pace leisurely, and speak leisurely. They must be old Beijingers ~ I secretly stretched out my neck and looked at the courtyard. It was really narrow and dark, with a family living in more than ten to twenty square meters. Therefore, there are many public toilets in Hu Tongli, almost one place every few dozen meters away. However, I heard that the government has renovated it. Connecting the water and heating is much more convenient than before. Huangchenggen's land is invaluable and sentimental.
Walking down Wudaoying Hutong, you will find the Yonghe Palace opposite me. I like the rich and colorful luxury and clear silhouette. The yellow glaze and dark red palace walls are majestic without anger, and I am amazed at the royal style.

Three stops ahead is Nanluogu Lane, which is basically a commercial street. Without shopping carefully, the children were so tired that they kept making trouble, so they took a tricycle that was nearby to solicit customers. I don't know if they had been slaughtered. I drove it for 180 yuan a car and ran around, with a teasing explanation from a Beijing movie. I roughly learned which hutongs had produced which celebrities, the difference between courtyard houses and large courtyards, where there were large families, etc. In fact, I didn't listen carefully because the child was asleep and the cold wind hit the face when he got up. We had to hug him tightly, holding the blanket with the other hand to shelter him from the wind, feeling that we were going to be frozen cold.
It was past four o'clock in the afternoon, so we went directly to the Four Seasons Minfu Bar and made plans to continue queuing. But we were lucky. When we went there, we had a free table and ate directly. I saw that the surrounding tables were also chatting happily or were about to leave after eating. I don't know if we had lunch or dinner at this time.
According to the clerk's recommendation, we ordered half a roast duck, Baylor mutton, and stir-fried pea seedlings. Seeing that we were bringing the baby, the store also gave children's meals (a few small pieces of fruit, one night's porridge, two small milk steamed buns) and small toys. The service was still very considerate and thoughtful. As for roast duck, I have eaten it in other places, but it is not so magical. Why did the people of Beijing and ancient emperors love this? But I felt that I had to experience the characteristics when I came to Beijing, so I ordered it anyway and didn't have much expectation.
First, the duck soup was hot one night. The duck soup was white and mellow, with a few wisps of green cabbage floating on the soup. Take a sip. It is fresh, strong, not fishy, with a strong pepper flavor and warm, and you will be interested immediately. Then, a chef will push a dining car and slice roast duck on the spot beside the table. The movements are smooth and quick. The duck meat is neatly packed into the plate and served on the table. The duck legs and duck heads are placed on a separate plate and placed next to it. The waiter will come and introduce two ways to eat roast duck. Let's start with the traditional eating method. Take the duck cake, soft, elastic and thin. Shake it, spread it flat in the palm of your hand, put it into the part where the meat is attached to the belt, add shredded spring onion sweet sauce, wrap it, and put it into your mouth. The moment your teeth bit into the duck skin, you clearly felt the charred crispy of the duck skin, followed by the soft, tender and juicy duck meat. The aroma of oil is intertwined with the sweetness of Beijing spring onions. The sweet noodle sauce is thick but it will not claim the owner. What kind of immortal roast duck? It is swallowed in one bite, rich in layers and rich in taste. Endless aftertaste, this damn delicious food! Immediately turn into a fan and beat him! Let's have the second way to eat it. The second way to eat it is to add more mashed garlic and cucumber. The mashed garlic strives to stimulate the aroma of the roast duck. The crispness of the cucumber doubles the layered taste and makes it more greasy. This is also perfect! I prefer the first way to eat it, while Bao Da loves the second. I like the aroma of the first way to eat it, which can highlight the sweetness of the roast duck itself.

Let's talk about the stir-fried pea seedlings. The color is green, oily, tender, and has a strong garlic aroma with a faint fragrance of peas. The first few bites are really refreshing, but the more you get to the end, the more oily it becomes, and the stamina is not enough.

Baylor mutton is actually mutton fried with green onions and placed on a heated roasting sheet. It is stir-fried with chopped green onions and mutton rolls. It has a strong cumin flavor. The taste is definitely delicious and it is also a magic weapon for cooking. However, with the contrast and preparation of the roast duck, I still miss the tender red, transparent, fat and fragrant duck, and I can't accommodate anything else.

During the digestion time in the evening, I took my children to Wangfujing Foreign Language Bookstore. After going there, I couldn't move my legs. Reading one book to him made our mouths dry. Imported children's picture books are really expensive. The price of a single book ranges from 48 to 128. No wonder they are so deserted. I feel like reading a few more books is really profitable.

I slept until I woke up naturally this morning, and the children were in very good condition. After breakfast at the hotel, I took the bus to the Natural History Museum. Tickets for the Natural History Museum need to be booked one day in advance. Once you make the reservation, you can directly swipe your ID card to enter for free. If you rush there temporarily without an appointment, you will need to buy a ticket at 20 yuan/person, and infants and young children are free.
Children like to take a double-decker bus and can lie on the large glass in the front row of the second floor and watch the scenery. There is a station named Dazhalan. Can you read da zha lan like me? When announcing the station, the station name is pronounced da(four tones)shi (two tones) laner (four tones), which is quite interesting.
The Natural History Museum is very suitable for children, and it is full of children. There is an aquarium on the first floor, animal specimens on the second floor, a dinosaur park and imitation wildlife park on the third floor, and a 4D theater on the fourth floor. There are also intellectual exhibition halls on the origin of life, which are quite rich. I truly feel that children in Beijing and Shanghai are really happy. There are too many educational resources, many opportunities, and there are also many 985 people at home.
My children used to like dinosaurs very much when reading picture books. Before they came here, they always talked about watching dinosaurs and watching dinosaurs. As a result, they actually went to the Dinosaur Museum. The dinosaur exhibits inside were huge and realistic, and they would shake their heads and roar. The indoor lights were relatively dark. The children saw them. I was afraid and leaned on my father's shoulder and made a fuss about leaving.

It's lunch time again, so find a place to eat. Originally, we planned to go to Xiaodaoli Tang, but the queue was too long; we changed to go to the market to get a taste of the "market". It happened that there was a small big Dong downstairs in the gas bureau of the APM store and there was no need to queue up. Finally, we switched to Xiaodaodong again.
Xiao Da Dong's signature is also roast duck. Since we were all nostalgic for the aroma of the roast duck yesterday, we brought another half to see who was better. We also ordered salad, old Beijing fried meatballs, and steamed dumplings.
Xiao Da Dong pays attention to setting, and the environment is relatively exquisite, which is suitable for dating. The duck soup is poured in small bowls. The taste is stronger and the color is snow-white. On the contrary, I feel that something more should be added to it that is not pure enough. The ducks are also served directly with good slices, which is less ceremonial. The taste and taste are similar to those of the Four Seasons People's Blessings, but I think the Four Seasons People's Blessings are still better. That atmosphere is the style that eating roast duck should have.

The salad platter is rich in color and full of ingredients. It is especially suitable for taking photos. The taste is normal salad flavor.
The dry fried meatballs are innovative. The outer skin is particularly crispy and the heart has brushed cheese. However, the fishy smell of pork is strong. I am afraid of that taste. The same is true for steamed dumplings. The smell of pig and the strong flavor of onion and ginger are stronger than leeks. Except for roast duck and salad, I really won't order anything else. I'd rather go to the Four Seasons Minfu queue.

It was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon after dinner, and the children were sleepy, and the plan to go to the National Science and Technology Museum fell through again. We returned to the hotel and prepared to let the children sleep, but the children were refreshed again. It was 3:30 in the afternoon and did not want to continue wasting time in the hotel. Time, so we had to go to Tiantan Park and take the bus downstairs to the Temple of Heaven. The children fell asleep in the car again. Come on, we could just go to the south gate of the Temple of Heaven with the baby in our arms and wait for dinner. Bao Dad joked: "Qianlong cabbage the day before yesterday, Baylor mutton yesterday, and palace pork shabu today. It's royal dishes every day."~ How popular is this Nanmen pork shabu? We arrived at four o'clock and needed to rank. The diners inside were all eating enthusiastically. Sigh, I once again wondered which meal we had.

I especially like the rising heat of the copper pot. In the cold winter, not only can there be fireworks from the world, but you can also eat "red clay small stove, green ant freshly roasted wine, and the sky is about to snow at night, so you can drink a glass of nothing?" Poetlike temperament.

South Gate Shabu is indeed at the South Gate of the Temple of Heaven. I ordered two portions of mutton, one portion of cold mutton face, one portion of cabbage and bean skin, and the ice peak. The ice peak with "orange flavor" brought back the "local flavor" that I didn't have yesterday. The pot is boiling, the dishes are ready, and the children are awake. It's really stuck. The quality of his house is obviously better than the one we blindly found on the first day. The hand-cut fresh sheep are tender and tender at first, but not cooked for a long time, and the price is much more affordable; the sesame sauce dip is thick and not greasy and will not be particularly thirsty after eating; The cold sheep face is rich in layers, skin, glue, jelly, meat, soft and tender, and the taste is pure and light. If you like the heavy mouth, you can match the dipping; However, maybe because the meat in this house is relatively thin, the cabbage is boiled out in the end, it lacks the plump taste of the cabbage on the first day, which is refreshing and not so sweet.
This meal is over, and this trip to Beijing is coming to an end. I will have to go home at noon tomorrow. On the way back to the hotel, the air was cold, the moonlight was clear, and the trees on the roadside were covered with all kinds of red lanterns, giving off the scent of New Year.

I remember that at this time last year, when our family of three went to Xiamen, the children also wore this coat. They obviously felt that the baby has grown a lot taller and become a lot naughty this year. The bigger it is, the more difficult it is to fool and control. Sometimes it is really irritating and helpless, but more often what he gives us is warmth, kindness, purity, surprise, and reflection. As time goes by, we can kiss his soft little face unscrupulously, and he is willing to rely on us unreservedly. The time for intimacy becomes less and less ~ we can only cherish each other and grow together!
In the new year, I wish peace and joy, smooth and healthy, and everything goes well
