As an old aunt born in the 1980s,

When I was a child, I liked to watch Princess Huanzhu very much.

I have seen it countless times,

I still remember every plot clearly.

After so many years,

But I never thought that this TV series would have such a deep impact on me.

When deciding on this trip to Beijing,

I never thought of having any relationship with Princess Huanzhu;

But when booking a hotel, they said they wanted to stay in a courtyard house. My first reaction was that I wanted to stay in a courtyard house like the one I stayed in when myrtle was blind.

Only then did I realize that this TV series had long been deeply rooted in my heart.

Although it has now been discovered by many netizens to destroy our views, it is indeed a memory that accompanies our generation: the rebellious and crazy little swallow, the deeply affectionate fifth brother, the knowledgeable and courteous crape myrtle, the talented Erkang, the noble and quiet Qinger, and the graceful Xiao Jian. They never give up chasing their own happiness and wandering the world side by side. That was the emotion that still existed in my heart no matter how long it took. The family, friendship and love in this play are exactly what we envy and desire, which is why we can't forget it so much.

Therefore, if you say you don't forget it, you will definitely have a response. Then let this casual trip turn into a memory tour of Huanzhu Princess, allowing us to return to childhood together.

preface

Because there were no plans before, and when the summer vacation was coming, there were no arrangements yet. Should we go to the picturesque Gannan, the modern city of Shanghai, the most amazing mountain in the world, Huangshan, or go abroad? Anyway, no matter where we go, air tickets are not cheap. Because there weren't many holidays and we couldn't go too far, in the end, everyone hit it off and said they would go to Beijing. Beijing is also good. I have always loved Beijing. I have been here in a hurry before and always wanted to find an opportunity to come again.

Wish list before departure:

Live in a courtyard once and be in a daze in the courtyard;

In the hutongs of old Beijing, pass through streets and alleys;

Climb the Great Wall once and feel the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient people;

Go to the bottom of Cuandi and take a look at the Ming and Qing style residential buildings.

Although it was not all realized in the end, this journey was super satisfying.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to come to Beijing, Xiao Yan said that he would take the A380 to satisfy his wish and celebrate his successful graduation from primary school. It also increased my knowledge. Although I had heard of the A380 many times before, I realized this time that it turned out to be a double-decker aircraft and was called a giant in the sky. It really has long hair and short knowledge.

When I passed the security check, I realized that there were still 3 pieces of yogurt in my bag. I really didn't wake up yet. I forgot that the yogurt couldn't pass the security check. Three people foolishly drank yogurt at the security checkpoint. It was so embarrassing, but they couldn't bear to lose it.

Arrived in Beijing at 11:30 noon. God, Beijing is so hot. It is very sultry. There is no wind at all, even hotter than Foshan. Everyone goes to summer, but we go to a hotter place

The original plan was to take the subway to the hotel, first, to save money, and second, to be afraid of traffic jams. However, what I didn't expect was that when I passed the subway security check, I didn't give out the sunscreen spray in the suitcase, and it was not even if I lost it. In the end, I decided to call Didi. My personality exploded, but I didn't have traffic jams. I arrived at the hotel in about half an hour. The fare was only 70+, and the subway cost 29 yuan per person. Is this a blessing in disguise?

[Huajianzhu Courtyard Hotel]

During the past few days in Beijing, we have stayed at Huajianzhu Courtyard Hotel, Zheng He's former residence, located in Sanbu Lao Hutong, which is quiet in the hustle. The hotel owner and aunt have a very good attitude. They can communicate with him if there is any problem. They tell him that we have a car and reserve a good parking space for us.

We stayed in a family duplex room, close to the roadside. We thought it would be noisy at night, but it was surprisingly quiet. We couldn't hear the sound of the road outside at all. We slept until dawn every day.

[Impression of Beijing]

Beijingers are really polite and very enthusiastic. We backed up at the entrance of the hotel for a long time and couldn't get in. Although the uncle passing by was on the phone, he would still help direct how to reverse the car; when we didn't know if the red light could be turned in the right turn lane, the uncle riding a bicycle would remind you to leave; the Didi driver would introduce us to Beijing's culture and what places worth visiting in Beijing.

Also, the sound of erhua in the north is really nice.

Old Beijing Flavor·Hutong Alley

Beijing is like a big piece of tofu, with four directions and four directions.

There are streets and alleys in the city.

The streets and alleys are due north and south, and due east and west.

---Inscription

In Beijing's Second Ring Road, there are basically no high-rise buildings, only protected historical and cultural ancient cities, such as the Forbidden City, Gong's Mansion, etc., as well as many hutongs and courtyard houses. Here, you can truly feel the flavor of old Beijing. Rather than call it Beijing, it is better to call it Beijing, which has more charm.

There are thousands of hutongs in Beijing, which were formed in three dynasties in Chinese history: the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty. Most of the buildings on both sides of the hutong are courtyards. A courtyard house is a building surrounded by four houses, east, west, north and south, in a symmetrical square form. Siheyuan houses, large and small, are arranged next to each other, and the passage between them is the alley.

On the first day we came to the capital, we walked around, measured this historical and cultural city with our footsteps, walked through streets and alleys, looking for the shadow of old Beijing. Walking out of the hotel, we saw the canteen in the alley, and we bought things directly from the small window. It was really novel for us. How to choose products from such a small window.

Little fruit shop

After walking far ahead, we reached the Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall, but unfortunately it was closed.

Cross the road and walk into Dingfu Street

Where have I seen the canteen in my memory, the low bungalows, and the red porch?

Further forward is the North Campus of Beijing Normal University. It is an ancient building and has a strong learning atmosphere at a glance. Even the security guard at the door is particularly polite and gentle.

Streets without tourists are particularly comfortable with shade on both sides.

The leaves here are all very green, giving a feeling of green and dripping. In our place, it can only be seen when trees change leaves in spring, and it is very short.

Gong's Mansion was the largest royal residence in the Qing Dynasty. It was once the residence of Heshen and Yonglin.

Tickets are 40 yuan/person. For more information about Gong Wang Fu, you can check its official website: ://.

Walking into the streets near Gong's Mansion, there are gradually more tourists, and there are also many rickshaws on the road. Moreover, rickshaws are not popular and make people feel disgusted.

There are many tourists in front of the Gong Mansion. There are many cars and people. It's better to escape quickly.

Don't follow the large troops on the road, walk into an alley at will, which is very clean and comfortable.

There are peaceful alleys and courtyards with gray walls and red gates.

After removing those cars, I felt that this place was particularly charming. It had a strong atmosphere of life, with green bricks and green tiles, and a strong flavor of Beijing. At that moment, it seemed to have returned to the past.

South Guluo Lane has a reputation. Since I have come here, I plan to go for a walk. However, before walking into Nanguluo Lane, I already felt its commercial atmosphere. Sure enough, every city has such a street, and Nanguluo Lane is the street in Beijing.

He turned around and left, heading back home. Because it was too sunburn and very stuffy, he decided to go back to the hotel to rest for a while.

Going back from another pocket, I met the old alley and the old wall with mottled trees.

Ancient trees with blue bricks tell ancient stories.

How can people not love such an alley? {data:{has_more:true,html:

Although I can't get in, isn't this courtyard house the courtyard house in my memory? The room where Little Swallow and his others lived in the street performing group in the second part of Princess Huanzhu (I later went to watch that episode, although it wasn't so luxurious, it was indeed the courtyard house in my memory).

If this rickshaw was replaced by a carriage, this alley would be where Little Swallow and the others were chased by the pursuers and forced to move away from the courtyard house.

Ya 'er Hutong, such a familiar name, I seem to have heard it somewhere.

Turning out from Hutong Lane and walking to Houhai, I saw several hairdressers on the roadside. After careful observation, it turned out that they had shaved their heads with knives.

It is recommended to ride a bicycle when visiting hutongs, because there are really many hutongs in Beijing. If you just walk, you will be really tired.

For dinner, I decided to go to Wangfujing to see what was delicious.

When I come to Wangfujing, I have the illusion of suddenly traveling back to 2019.

In the end, I chose Taier pickled cabbage fish because I saw that there were not many people in line and usually I had to queue for at least an hour to eat; in addition, Beijing food was not to my taste.

Small episode:

I didn't even bring a dollar in cash with me when I went out for the first time, because the trip was decided in a hurry and I had to set out before I had time to collect the money. Secondly, I felt that I didn't need to use cash in a big city like Beijing. However, I was really too careless to consider the issue of taking the subway and public transportation. After all, in Foshan, you can now take the subway and public transportation and use WeChat directly.

So I spent a long time in the subway station before downloading the Beijing Metro APP. The network in the subway was so bad that only I could download it, but they couldn't. In the end, I had to cross the city and withdraw the money. The 100 yuan deducted my 4 yuan handling fee, heartbroken.

Horse galloping·Bashang Grassland

let us

Accompanied by the red world, live happily

Ride your horse and share the prosperity of the world

Sing the joy in your heart while singing wine

Vigorous and vigorous, seize the youth

---Inscription

I remember the first part of Princess Huanzhu. At the beginning of the opening song, the grassland where the emperor and his friends went hunting was Mulan paddock in Hebei Province.

Today, we decided to go to the grassland, stay away from the sultry capital, go to the summer, and spend a 23-degree summer.

Although we did not go to Mulan paddock, but only went to Fengning Bashang Grassland, we also saw the vast grassland and the scene of cattle and sheep blowing by the wind and grass low. It was a success in pursuing our dream.

This time, because we didn't make a good strategy, we thought that Bashang Grassland was a place name, that is, Fengning Bashang Grassland. When we came, we found that the Bashang Grassland was divided into many parts, including Fengning Bashang Grassland, Guyuan Bashang Grassland, Zhangbei Bashang Grassland, Mulan paddock, etc. The famous grassland sky road is located on the Zhangbei Bashang Grassland.

Bashang is a geographical term, which refers specifically to the area formed by the sudden rise of grassland, and the meadow-like grassland formed due to climate and vegetation. Therefore, it's really scary to have no culture to come here and let me learn more.

The Fengning Bashang Grassland we visited this time is located in Fengning Manchu Autonomous County, Hebei Province, due north of Beijing. It is the natural grassland closest to Beijing and also known as the No. 1 Grassland in northern Beijing.

The Bashang Grassland is a plateau grassland with an altitude of between 1200 meters and 2000 meters. It has a temperate monsoon climate. The winters are long and the summers have no heat. It is cool and pleasant. The average temperature in July is 24 degrees Celsius. It is the first choice for summer vacations and vacations.

In order to avoid the morning rush hour in Beijing, we set off for the Bashang Grassland at around 6 o'clock.

Self-driving route: Beijing-Chengdu Expressway → Huairou Exit → Beijing-Canada Road →G111 National Highway →G95 Capital Ring Expressway → Datan Exit, about 265 kilometers and more than 4 hours. Because there is no high-speed throughout the journey, you have to take a section of the national highway. The speed limit of the national highway is 50, so the walking is very slow. Fortunately, the two of us took turns driving, so we weren't too tired.

We will arrive at Huairou Toll Station soon.

Aiya, Huairou is Bai Jingting's hometown. I really want to meet him

After walking a long stretch of the national highway, I can finally get on the highway again. It's still fun to drive at high speed. There are not many cars on the highway.

After passing through the Qiansongba Tunnel, a large area of alpine grassland suddenly appeared in front of you, and the words "The First Day Road in North Beijing" came into view.

The picture below was taken on a high speed. It is not good, but the actual scenery is much more beautiful.

The highway that followed was surrounded by grasslands and rapeseed flowers on both sides. It was so beautiful that people forgot the fatigue of driving.

After getting off the highway, I didn't know where to go, so I just drove around for a ride. Passing by a large rapeseed field, rolling mountains in the distance, and the highway passing through the middle. It really is a painting.

There is a fruit seller next to the flower field. They are so big apricots and delicious.

The grasslands I passed by were not beautiful enough. They were a little different from the endless grassland I imagined, and they were also a little worse than what I saw on the highway just now. I couldn't help but feel a little different. So I planned to go to nearby Datan Town to have lunch first and check out the guide online.

However, I never expected that the intersection to Datan Town was blocked due to a traffic jam, and I had to take a detour. I suddenly saw a Super Eight Hotel with a restaurant next to it, so I first solved the problem of food and clothing here.

The scenery outside the restaurant is also very good

The colorful houses blend into the grassland and are particularly pleasing to the eye.

After looking at the environment of Super Eight Hotel, I figured that this was a relatively clean accommodation here. The boss was also very talkative and friendly. He gave us a room card to let us go to the room first. We chose the viewing room on the 4th floor. When we opened the door, we saw the prairie through the large glass window. So happily decided to stay here.

After resting for a while, I continued to go out to find the prairie in my heart. There is no concept in my heart, but I still wander around without purpose.

Sometimes at a turn, a large grassland appears on both sides of the road, connecting with the mountains in the distance. It is really spectacular.

It is not difficult to see that grassland desertification has occurred in the grasslands here, so we must cherish and care more for the gifts given to us by nature.

Suddenly I saw a green grassland, which had actually been fenced off and cars were not allowed in, probably to avoid damage.

It's really beautiful and can be used as a computer desktop.

The wind is so strong that I can't even take a good photo

Riding horses, 50 yuan/30 minutes, but we didn't dare to ride, and we regretted not riding.

Seeing the sign saying Colorful Forest Scenic Area on it, we drove all the way there. The scenery along the way was really beautiful.

The trees growing sparsely on the grassland are particularly pitiful

If there were a flock of cattle and sheep running down the mountain here, how beautiful the picture would be.

Suddenly, a small road appeared in front of me, and I decisively abandoned the main road and drove into the small road. Doesn't it also feel like a grassland road?

The colorful forest is estimated to be beautiful in autumn. In fact, the scenery along the way is more beautiful than any of the scenic spots that charge for fees. The scenic spots here are all enclosed and built with many amusement facilities, which is a bit of a disgrace to the scenery.

So he turned around and went to the Lightning Lake introduced by the hotel owner.

Admission to Lightning Lake is 30 yuan. It is said that Lightning Lake is named after the shape of lightning, but it can only be seen from the sky, so there are many amusements such as gliders and helicopters here.

The beautiful water and grass in Lightning Lake and the lake not far away made us sing that we went to the lake of the prairie to watch migratory birds fly back, and when we all grew up, we would have a baby.

The honeydew melons here are very delicious, sweet and watery. I still think about them until now. I really should have bought one back then.

The incompatible camel should be a sheep here.

After leaving Lightning Lake, I continued to drive towards Zhangjiakou. The grassland here is much better than the one in Fengning. At that time, I was thinking that I shouldn't stay at the Super Eight Hotel, otherwise I could continue to go towards Zhangbei Bashang.

The scenery was so beautiful that I parked my car on the roadside and leaned on the window and stared blankly at the grassland in front of me. I really wanted to run to the grassland and run wild, and gallop horses.

I can finally go to Datan Town in the evening. I always thought this place was Mongolian, but later I talked with the hotel owner and discovered that it was Manchu. The royal family of the Qing Dynasty was Manchu.

The streets on both sides of the town are full of red, yellow and yellow signs. Beef jerky and mutton jerky have their own characteristics.

The 10 yuan bottle of grassland yogurt is delicious, but it's so expensive.

Poor me, who doesn't eat beef and mutton, said silently, let's eat instant noodles tonight

In the end, I went back to the restaurant of Super Eight Hotel to settle for dinner.

After dinner, I found many people setting off fireworks. The hotel owner said that people in the city like to come and set off fireworks because they cannot be set off in the city. I have never had any special likes for fireworks in the past. In the past few years, I have suddenly fallen in love with watching fireworks. Perhaps things that are slightly inferior and will pass away make people want to cherish them even more.

Good night.

Gege Jixiang·Gubei Water Town

the grayish

And I'm waiting for you

---Inscription

I originally planned to go to Qiansongba National Forest Park today. However, the weather was not good and it had been raining since I woke up in the morning. So I changed my itinerary and went directly to Beijing, and then went to Gubeishui Town to have a look.

Route: Datan Toll Station on Expressway →G95 Capital Ring Expressway → National Highway 112 →G45 Daguang Expressway → Simatai Exit → Gubei Water Town

On the Capital Ring Expressway heading to Gubei Water Town, I saw beautiful mountains. I didn't take photos and found two photos online.

There are always mountains on the highway. I searched for a Baidu and it should be the Yanshan Mountains (if there is a mistake, please point out, I also want to know what mountain range it is).

After getting off the Capital Ring Expressway, we entered a section of national highway. Both sides of the road were planted with corn. The quiet village gave a feeling of paradise.

Gubei water town

It is a resort-style town with unique northern customs at the foot of the Simatai Great Wall. It is said to be invested and built by Wuzhen Tourism Co., Ltd., a town that integrates the characteristics of the north and the south. I think it prefers the elegance of Jiangnan water town.

It is very commercial and feels like a new town built for tourism. The buildings are all new and have no sense of history.

Admission: 140 yuan/person. If you live in a small town, you do not need a ticket.

Traffic information you see in the brochure

Simatai Great Wall

The Simatai Great Wall is the only Great Wall in my country that retains the original appearance of the Ming Dynasty and has been identified as the original Great Wall by UNESCO. Due to the steep mountains and steep terrain where the Great Wall is located, starting from January 31, 2014, tourists who visit the Simatai Great Wall alone will be booked and visited in batches. Tourists who need to visit the Simatai Great Wall Scenic Area alone are requested to make an appointment in advance.

The Simatai Great Wall is still a Great Wall that can be climbed at night. It looks beautiful from Gubei Water Town at night. If you have the opportunity, you must climb the Simatai Great Wall at night.

I thought that there wouldn't be too many people visiting the ancient town on Monday, but I still overthought it. The parking lot was full of cars, and everyone parked their cars on the roadside.

Walking to the entrance of the scenic area, I saw the mountains in the distance and the town at the foot of the mountain. I felt particularly refreshed after the rain.

As I went inside, I didn't see a place to buy tickets. The scenery was already beautiful. The instant feeling of Jiangnan water town once thought that tickets were not needed. It was really naive.

neat houses, clear river water, green willows.

The houses on both sides of the road seemed to be uninhabited. The houses were covered with plants (I couldn't name them). At first, they thought they were beautiful and small and fresh. Later, they found that the houses in the entire ancient town were covered with this kind of plant.

I like this willow tree very much, perhaps because willows are hardly seen in Foshan.

couldn't help but think of that ancient poem:

Jasper makeup is as high as a tree, and thousands of green silk ribbons hang down.

I don't know who cut the thin leaves, but the spring breeze in February is like scissors.

What will you encounter at the next turn?

After walking for about 5-10 minutes, I finally saw the Tourist Service Center, a very grand Tourist Service Center. Only then did I realize that the ticket cost 140 yuan/person, which was so expensive.

I can't escape one of the four major Chinese-style tolerations, and I have come all the way.

Tickets are so expensive, no wonder the tourist service center is so tall (unfortunately I forgot to take photos). What is very irritating is that there is no need to buy tickets to stay in it.

Not long after entering the door, I saw this sesame seed cake shop. It seemed to be so famous. There was a long queue, and it took about 10 minutes to produce 8 cakes. Although I wanted to try it, I finally gave up queuing.

I send myself a postcard every time I go to a place, and this time is no exception. But in the end I forgot

Finally, I took a pack of postcards without a postmark directly home.

I passed by a shop called Hawthorn Tree. The name of the shop is so literary and artistic that those who didn't know would really think it was for buying souvenirs. But they do sell hawthorns related snacks.

Xiaoyan clamored to eat ice-sugar gourd for 15 yuan each. Although it was more expensive than the ones outside, Xiaoyan said it was extremely delicious, and later he kept clamoring to go back and buy it.

Xiaoyan refused to leave the country to take photos, so she asked him to take the MA instead.

In addition to this common candied haws, there are also canned haws recommended by Yan Yan. It's good to buy it as a souvenir, but the key is that it's delicious. Don't miss it for those who like to eat hawthorn.

But I still prefer this hawthorn-flavored cone. It's sour and sweet, and surprisingly delicious.

It feels like a newly built city gate without a sense of vicissitudes.

It is obviously a Jiangnan water town, or do all ancient towns across the country look the same? Anyway, let's take a wave of tourists first.

It turns out that there are not as many tourists as imagined, and the streets can be empty.

Passing by an old stage, I happened to be performing. The content was a book by the Yang family general. The specific content was unknown and I didn't understand it.

There are many performances in this ancient town, such as Yang family generals 'iron-plate books, opera patrols, Peking Opera, acrobatics, etc. Don't miss out on those who like to watch the show.

Gray walls and blue tiles, small bridges and flowing water, people's homes.

As we walked, the rain became heavier and heavier. If we continued to walk, we would only get wet. Moreover, I forgot to take my umbrella when I left it in the car. Just in front of the old stage on Riyue Island, there is a place to watch a performance with a canopy and seats. It is a perfect place to rest here. Coincidentally, not long after sitting down, Peking Opera began to perform,"Meeting the Queen". Watching the performance in the rain is also very unique.

After the rain subsided, I continued to play, but my shoes were still ruthlessly wet by the stagnant water on the ground

Walking around casually, you will arrive at a food street.

I have always liked tofu, how could I miss this tofu corner? It's 5 yuan for a bowl or 10 yuan, I forgot, but it's really delicious.

The guide said that there was a Yuanyang Lake, so I planned to visit it.

Walking from another road, I like it so much. The ancient town after the rain is like ink painting. I couldn't help but think of Tian Qing and Yanyu's words.

This street has the feel of the ancient city of Lijiang.

Walking to the Eight Banners Guild Hall, we happened to see a girl who had just changed into a Ge Ge dress and was about to take photos. On a whim, we also had to change clothes to fulfill a dream we had when we were a child and become Ge. When I saw Princess Huanzhu at that time, I sometimes really imagined that I was a Princess. Did all little girls at that time have such illusions? I know and believe that I am not alone?

I immediately liked this pink one. The headdress is not the kind in Princess Huanzhu, and it is a little lost.

But why, the more you look at it, the more it looks like a bright moon and colorful clouds

I don't care, I don't care, I'm Ge

This expression is a bit silly. Because I don't wear glasses, my eyes look strange, but I can't bear to delete the only full-body photo.

It's raining all the time. I hope the boss won't scold us for getting our clothes wet.

I still remember the moment Qinger and Xiao Jian met, Qinger looked back.

The crowd was looking for him thousands of times, but the man was in the dimly lit place.

This corridor has ancient characteristics, and it's especially nice to take pictures. Unfortunately, after a while, many people sat there and refused to leave. They couldn't take more pictures if they wanted to.

My colleague said this one was like being sent to the cold house.

The boss said that he could only take photos in the courtyard of the Eight Flags Guild Hall, but when he walked out the back door, he found that the scenery outside the courtyard was more beautiful.

This trip to Gubei Water Town was really worthwhile and satisfied my young girl's heart.

Do these two dolls look like the wedding of Little Swallow and Fifth Brother?

old Beijing cloth shoes

I like the courtyard so much, it feels very comfortable.

Walking up the mountain, you can gradually see the whole picture of the ancient town.

When I walked up, I found that there was a tower in the town called Yuantong Tower, next to it was Yuantong Tower Temple.

The mountain opposite is where the Simatai Great Wall is located.

Continue up the hill and you will reach the hilltop church. There is a church in this ancient town, which seems out of place, but still retains its charm.

The church is in the style of a Romanesque Catholic church.

Take a photo here

There is a souvenir shop next to the church, which still sells those things, such as music boxes, jewelry, water cups, etc., but what attracts me most is the postcards pasted on the wall.

The Hilltop Church is the perfect location to overlook the town. But I think the cafe has a better view down the hill.

It was already 7:30 after dinner. It had been raining all day and stopped, but it was not dark yet, so I climbed up to the hilltop church to prepare to watch the night view.

Halfway up the mountain, the clouds on the horizon are so beautiful, and the sunset after the rain is particularly dazzling.

The rosy clouds gradually fade and night falls. The resplendent Yuantong Tower shines brightly in the night.

The lights in the town are starting to come on

Before going back, you must study hard on night shooting. Such a beautiful scenery makes it so ugly

If you have the opportunity, you must spend the night in Gubei Water. Its night view is really beautiful. You must also go climbing the Simatai Great Wall at night. It will definitely be another experience.

While I went to the bathroom, Xiaoyan took such a photo at the door. She knew how to use the pool in front of the door to take a reflection.

Goodbye, beautiful Gubei Water Town.

Hero·Mutianyu Great Wall

Generally, the Great Wall is full of songs and songs, but there are more than ten miles of empty walls here.

Unlike the idle vegetation in the world, the silk leaves are silk.

---Inscription

As the saying goes, no one is a hero who has not yet reached the Great Wall. Since you are in Beijing, of course you should go to the Great Wall to have a look. The Badaling Great Wall is famous, and everyone flocks to it. They often read on the Internet that they go to the Great Wall to see heads.

After being introduced by others, we chose the Mutianyu Great Wall with few people, and the scenery was not inferior at all. It enjoyed the reputation of the Great Wall and the unique beauty of Mutianyu.

For the guide to the Mutianyu Great Wall, you can refer to this article: .

Because the transportation on the Mutianyu Great Wall was not very convenient, I decided to continue renting a car for one day to make the trip more free. Starting from the hotel at around 9 o'clock, we avoided the morning rush hour. The journey was smooth and we arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot in about an hour and a half. There is an underground parking lot in the scenic area, 20 yuan/time.

Take the elevator from the underground parking lot. As soon as you exit the elevator, there will be a row of self-service machines to buy tickets, and there are also staff guiding you. I took a look when buying the tickets and found that they were all joint tickets, customized tickets (45 yuan?)+ The ferry ticket (round-trip 15 yuan)+ the cable car ticket (round-trip 120 yuan) felt weird, but I didn't think much about it. Later, when I took the ticket out, I realized that the customized ticket cost extra money. It's so bad. Although I had a photo of myself on the ticket, I just felt uncomfortable. So when you buy tickets, remember to go to the Tourist Service Center to buy them.

In addition, talk about cable cars. There are two types of cable cars to choose from in this scenic area. One is a van cable car, and the other is a kind with two feet suspended in the air, operated by two different companies.

The one we just bought was a van cable car. When we bought tickets, we had the only choice of this cable car. The other one seemed to need to enter the scenic spot to buy it.

There are not many tourists, and the cable car line takes about 5 minutes. You can take this cable car directly to the No. 14 beacon tower. It is really friendly for people who are not very physically strong.

I hope I can see blue skies and white clouds, but I have to pay the price. I will die from the sun.

When we first left the cable car, there were many tourists gathered, but as long as we continued to walk towards the No. 20 beacon tower, the tourists would become more and more sparse.

In fact, the Great Wall is much easier to climb than imagined. It won't be very steep. If it weren't so hot, it would still be easy to walk.

Only when I came to the Great Wall did I truly feel that it was really a treasure of Chinese civilization and condensed the wisdom of the ancient people.

Walking into the enemy building, I felt a gust of cold air coming from my face. It was so cool, just like walking into an air-conditioned room. What kind of design is this? It's so hot outside, but it's so cool inside. When the mouth in the city wall is close to it, there will also be a cool breeze blowing through it. It's so magical.

The Great Wall winding among the mountains is majestic and magnificent.

After walking and resting, about an hour, you reach the most difficult section of the Great Wall to climb, Haohan Slope, located between the No. 19 beacon tower and the No. 20 beacon tower. The slope here suddenly increases rapidly, and hundreds of steps challenge your desire to move forward.

Xiaoyan walked for a short while and said that he couldn't walk anymore, so he sat on the steps to rest and came back to pick him up after we successfully reached the summit.

Almost when we reach the finish line, there is still a small test. There is a very vertical and narrow section of stairs, which feels very dangerous. If you are afraid of heights, it is not recommended to climb up because you definitely dare not come down (I always walk and sit down step by step).

Finally climbed up and looked back at the road you had traveled. It was a sense of success and pride. I am not a hero until I reach the Great Wall. Today, I am also a hero.

victorious smile

The winding city wall is like a huge dragon extending along the mountains to the sky, protecting the prosperity of the land of China.

I don't know what the name of the mountain in the distance is, but it is also very beautiful.

The vicissitudes of the wall is like a thick ancient book. It quietly hides the past wind and rain clouds between the lines, accumulating thousands of years of history and culture.

After begging for a long time, Xiao Yan finally agreed to take a photo, but still didn't show his face. In the future, when he grows up, he won't have any regrets when he looks through these photos.

We didn't make a good guide and thought it would take a day to visit the Great Wall, so we came here in the morning and then exposed ourselves here at noon. It is recommended to start climbing the mountain with the cable car around 4 p.m., and then you can catch the sunset. The Great Wall at sunset will definitely be beautiful.

On the way back from the Mutianyu Great Wall, there are many peach gardens. Don't miss them if you like peaches, yellow peaches and other peaches.

[Summer Palace]

It was still early to come back from the Great Wall, so I went to the Summer Palace to visit it. At this time, I also found that having a car was really convenient.

The Summer Palace was the back garden of the royal family during the Qing Dynasty.

In 1900, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, the Summer Palace suffered a catastrophe, and all the cultural relics in the garden were destroyed and looted. In 1902, Cixi restored the Summer Palace again and vigorously enriched the furnishings in the garden. Fortunately, the Summer Palace was not destroyed. We can still enjoy such comfortable royal gardens today.

Tickets: 30 yuan/person

Entering from the Beigong Gate, the first thing you see is Foxiang Pavilion and Wanshou Mountain. You have to climb the mountain again. My feet are trembling, but it seems that climbing this mountain is the fastest way to reach Kunming Lake.

After going down the mountain, you can see a promenade more than 700 meters long. It is the longest promenade in Chinese gardens. In 1992, it was recognized as the longest promenade in the world and was included in the Guinness World Records. Each beam on the corridor is painted with color, and there are more than 14000 pictures in total, including mountains and rivers, flowers, fish and insects, characters and allusions, etc.

Because I was too tired, I didn't have a good tour of the Summer Palace, but it was also very pleasant to rest on the promenade by the lake, blowing in the lake breeze, and admiring the famous Seventeen-Arch Bridge from a distance.

Going out from Donggong Gate and riding a bicycle back to Beigong Gate is probably the fastest and most comfortable way.

In fact, it is the best way to enter through the Donggong Gate. You can reach Kunming Lake without having to climb mountains.

Ready to return the car. On the way, he suddenly said that he saw the Bird's Nest on the way to the Summer Palace, so he should go and have a look before going back.

The Bird's Nest, Water Cube, etc. are all located in Olympic Park. The park is very big. It is recommended to take a battery car at 30 yuan/person. There are explanations and you can get off the bus to take photos halfway. It is really convenient.

The IBM building in the distance is shaped like a torch.

The Bird's Nest is actually more spectacular from the side, but we didn't have the strength to walk through it.

The Water Cube has now been renamed the Ice Cube in conjunction with the upcoming Winter Olympics.

Traveling through Time·Palace Museum

In the past, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, only senior officials were allowed to enter the palace.

Nowadays, when people come to the halls, they can visit the national treasures.

On the last day in Beijing, I planned to get up in the morning to watch the flag raising, but then I was too sleepy to get up

Since I was in Beijing, I had to visit the Forbidden City, so I got up in the morning and decided to ride a bicycle there.

[Former Site of Peking Library]

Suddenly I discovered a very distinctive old building. It turned out to be the former site of the Peking Library, which is now the main building of the branch of the National Library of China-Wenjin Building.

When I rode to Beichang Street, I was stopped by the police uncle. I thought we had committed some crime and was scared to death. It turned out that from here on, I couldn't ride a shared bicycle. I could only take a bus or walk.

[Tiananmen Square]

There are so many people entering Chang 'an Street. They really come to see the heads. They have to swipe their ID card to enter Tiananmen Square.

[Palace Museum]

There is no need to introduce the Forbidden City. I believe everyone will be familiar with it. It is the largest and most completely preserved wooden palace complex in the world; it is a royal palace from the Ming and Qing dynasties, also known as the Forbidden City. When Little Yanzi and the others fled, they called the Forbidden City the City of Memories, which was their most precious memory.

Walking into the palace, I had one last close contact with my Huanzhu Princess.

Passing through the Meridian Gate and the Taihe Gate, we arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. There was a sea of people and tens of thousands of people worshiping.

There were just too many people. Walking to the side, there were a lot fewer tourists in an instant. Since this was the second time here, there was no need to visit all the popular palaces.

Shoukang Palace is inside Cining Palace. I wanted to find some information online, but I only saw various horror stories, so I gave up.

Seeing this palace wall, I imagined the situation of the old Buddha and the little swallow and crape myrtle being punished.

Very comfortable little courtyard

The fasting palace is the place where the emperor fasted before the Sixth Palace of the East; it feels that it has not been repaired yet and has a more historical feeling, but I don't like the smell of rot, so leave quickly.

Yanxi Palace, one of the six eastern palaces, has become famous because of "Yanxi Strategies" and has a lot of tourists. Yanxi Palace was once burned down due to fire, and later a three-story Western-style building was built on the original site. However, it was finally destroyed by a plane bomb. The fate was ill, and only this frame remained.

The palace wall appears most frequently in court dramas. Every time a palace maid or eunuch walks by it in TV dramas, she feels panicked, as if something big has happened.

Looking at the map, I found Shufang Zhai. Without hesitation, I had to go and see the residences of the two Ge. However, I still couldn't find it after turning around. It turned out to be a closed area and was the VIP reception area of the Palace Museum. It was used as a resting place for national and foreign leaders when visiting the Palace Museum. In fact, the location of Shufang Zhai, Huanzhu Gege, was Chengde Summer Resort.

Finally came out of Shenwu Gate.

[Jingshan Park]

The Imperial City is viewed from the Wanchun Pavilion, and the red walls of the Golden Hall are flooded with tourists. There are hidden ups and downs in the palace. Without decline, how could there be today?

Jingshan Park is located opposite the north gate of the Forbidden City; the entrance fee is 2 yuan, which is really a super price. After all, you can see the panoramic view of the Forbidden City from the Wanchun Pavilion on the top of Jingshan Park. It is recommended to come in the morning or evening. It is noon, the sun is too dazzling, and the photos taken are really terrible.

Jingshan Park is not high, so I didn't rest halfway. It took me less than 5 minutes to climb to Wanchun Pavilion. When the entire Forbidden City was in front of you, stories immediately came to mind.

Just let me take one last look at the Forbidden City, turn around and leave, and say goodbye to my trip to Beijing. The feeling was like the final ending of the Huanzhu Princess Family, with reluctance, loss, and expectation.

I came down from Jingshan Park and planned to go back to the hotel for lunch. Since there was no direct bus, I wanted to call Didi back. However, there was no signal. The traffic here was so heavy that I had to wait for the mobile phone signal to recover while walking. As he walked, Xiaoyan found a national flag on the road. He picked it up without hesitation. He really wanted to give him a big picture. He also called himself and Xiao Jinmao a national flag guard, hahahaha.

On the first day in Beijing, I always said I wanted to eat Zhajiang noodles. I remember when I came here a few years ago, I had just planted my teeth and couldn't eat anything. I only ate Zhajiang noodles. It was really delicious. The taste will never be forgotten.

small crispy meat

Beijing little wonton. Our wonton in Guangdong is still delicious.

Forgot what it was.

Goodbye, dear Beijing, see you soon.
