Different seasons always bring different scenery to different cities, and also bring different feelings to all kinds of travelers. Winter in Beijing is cold, and even if pedestrians on the streets wear thick clothes, they still want to twist their whole bodies together.

However, it did not affect me from traveling thousands of miles to it. This imperial capital with a long history of thousands of years, traditional culture and modern colors complement each other. Old alleys, pigeons and trees, shop tricks, bird cages, big bowls of tea, tricycle, Gong's Mansion, Shichahai, ice sugar gourd, bar singer...

Everywhere is full of vitality, full of vitality, touching the scene and lingering in action

If we say the most beautiful season in Beijing, it must be winter. The red brick palace walls are covered with snow, and the originally noisy streets are quietly silent. The rows of footprints are testimony to the young days of dreamers from all over the country.

The charm of the thousand-year-old capital, a cultural monument that has been left behind

Beijing, a world-renowned historical city, has witnessed the prosperity and decline of several dynasties from ancient times to the present, as well as the lives of several generations of emperors.

Ancient and fashionable intertwined, tradition and modernity coexist
Beijing is inherently tolerant,
Nothing seems to surprise Beijingers at the feet of the emperor.
Various subcultural groups, underground rock, experimental theater, avant-garde art...
There is room for living in Beijing...

Third stop: Qianmen Street, Dazhalan

It is directly in front of Tiananmen Square. From a feng shui perspective, it means walking into the front door needed to Tiananmen Square. There are many delicious and fun things here, as well as all kinds of clothes, decorations, small toys, handicrafts, etc. Delicious delicacies include roast duck and so on

Fourth stop: Beijing Guijie Street

This word is pronounced gui, the same pronunciation as Ghost Street. At first, I heard from a friend that I thought it was called Ghost Street.

But this is arguably one of the most famous food streets in Beijing
