It was thirty-two years since the first time, and I came to Beijing again. In the five days in Beijing, except for the first day, the sky was clear and the air was clear, and I felt a little cold. After all, it was January weather in the north.

first review

Although I have been to Beijing many times, the one that impressed me the most was the first time. It was in the autumn of October 1988. The transportation I took at that time was a train and a plane. The train from Shanghai to Beijing was faster. It was T14 and T22, which took about 14 hours. I took the T14 hard seat and arrived in Beijing in 14 hours. At that time, my calf was already a little swollen.

Today's high-speed rail only takes 4 and a half hours (Shanghai to Beijing G6, G8, etc.)

In the past two to three decades, the country has developed and changed rapidly!

Back then, if you flew, you needed a letter of introduction from your unit and your work permit to purchase tickets. The price of the ticket from Beijing to Shanghai was 76 yuan, which was almost a month's salary at that time!

There is also this incident because I have a deep memory. The baggage I checked in when flying back to Shanghai was lost. After asking the ground transportation office to fill out the baggage loss inquiry form, he asked me to go back first and wait for the notice. After more than ten days, I received news and asked me to go to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to collect it myself and reimburse the travel expenses, haha.

There is nothing like that that can be sent to me through express delivery now. When I get my luggage, the luggage bag is full of luggage tags. I took an international flight. After traveling abroad, the luggage bag has gone a long way, and the two persimmons in the bag have been broken. I still remember that the persimmons were bought from the fruit farmers in the Shisanling Reservoir in the scenic area. They are especially sweet, so I left a deep impression!

The living conditions of hotels in Beijing at that time were not as good as they are now, and there were relatively few three-star and four-star hotels.

I recalled that I visited a lot of Beijing attractions that time, such as the Ming Tombs, Dingling, Fragrant Hills, etc., and I also climbed Fragrant Hills and admired the red leaves of Fragrant Hills!

Unfortunately, no images were left at that time. There was no digital technology at that time, only films and cameras from Kodak and Fuji.

Therefore, the focus of this trip was on Beijing's 2008 Olympic Village, and today's Olympic Park, Bird's Nest, Water Cube, Gong's Mansion and other places and attractions that were not visited at that time.

Of course, I will definitely visit the Badaling Great Wall in winter to experience the Great Wall again!

Are you a hero who hasn't reached the Great Wall? How can you not go to the Great Wall now that you are in Beijing again?

......

I chose to travel in January because there are fewer tourists in Beijing in January, so it is relatively comfortable to travel and accommodation, and the air ticket price is much cheaper than usual.

Travel itineraries, air tickets and accommodation hotels are booked online one month in advance. The prices in the off-season are relatively favorable. The round-trip air ticket from Hangzhou to Beijing is only 1,000 yuan, and it is a punctual flight. People don't have to be so tired. Samsung's hotel is 900 yuan for four nights and is located near the Second Ring Road of Liuliqiao. The main transportation in Beijing is the subway!

It was raining from Hangzhou to Beijing, and the weather was cloudy and chilly, but the weather was particularly good in the next few days.

God is so helpful!

The airport pick-up master from Beijing was also very enthusiastic and made a special detour to Chang 'an Street and took us to appreciate the night view of Chang' an Street.

Tiananmen Square

It may be said that it is off-season, but there are still many people.

Looking around, you can see the Monument to the People's Heroes in the center of the square, the Memorial Hall of Chairman Mao, the Great Hall of the People on the west, the National Museum of China on the east, and the Zhengyang Gate and Qianmen Arrow Tower on the south.

The Water Cube, the National Aquatics Center, is the largest membrane structure project in the world.

They are famous for their unique architectural structure, superb technological content and huge scale.

The Bird's Nest and the Water Cube are Beijing's scenery and new landmarks. They are also two major wonders of the world's Olympic venues.

I met a policeman on duty on Chang 'an Street. He first checked my ID card, and then saw that I was carrying a string of lobular rosewood bracelets in my hand. After commenting on it, I met a master of lobular rosewood.
