Beihai Park is a lot of fun, and enjoying lotus in the rain is like Jiangnan

When it comes to the North Sea, the first thing that comes to mind must be to let us paddle the double oars... Taking the North Tower of the North Sea as the prototype, the waves are rippling and the weeping willows are swaying. This must be everyone's deep-rooted childhood memories. In the middle of the boating lake, it is one of the must-experience projects to come to the North Sea.

Each boat can seat a maximum of 10 people, 40 yuan per person half an hour, mainly in the inner lake where lotus flowers are concentrated, and 60 yuan is one hour.

The Beihai Sea is divided into four gates, southeast and northwest. If you have enough time and want to tour the Beihai, you can enter from the north gate and walk clockwise along the lake. If time is tight, you can choose to enter the Beihai from the south gate. You can see the iconic White Tower landscape. Go straight ahead and climb the White Tower overlooking the White Tower. There is a Lotus Pond on the right. The annual Lotus Festival is held from June to October. Starting from the end of June this year, the 22nd Lotus Festival is open as scheduled. Listen to the boatman who rowed said, The lotus flowers here were transplanted from Baiyangdian in 2013.

Walking along the lake, you can get close to these dazzling lotus flowers in full bloom. The powder is white, and its beauty is further highlighted against the lotus leaves.

When you climb the White Tower, you collect tickets separately, look around the White Tower, and enclose the front of the White Tower alone. Although you can't get close, you can find a corner and barely see the true appearance of the White Tower up close.

After getting off the big ship and passing through the Five Dragons Pavilion, there is still a hidden western paradise. The glazed archway hidden among the dense trees is too domineering and has a majestic feeling of the royal family.

When you come to Beihai, you must visit Jingxin Zhai, and it is free. Because the number of people entering the park is limited, you have to queue up at the door. Everyone entering the park will have a visit card and return it when they come out.

Walking into Jingxinzhai, you feel like you have come to Jiangnan gardens, rockery, pavilions and buildings, and long corridors. There is a garden in the courtyard and a courtyard in the garden. The summer atmosphere decorates the entire courtyard with vitality. The creeper on the wall has spread all the way to the rockery. The towering ancient trees with luxuriant branches are like a huge green umbrella, shading and sheltering the rain, protecting this ancient house. The lotus flowers in the pond are ready to bloom, but the leaves have covered the entire lake. Through the gaps, you can vaguely see the reflection dancing. Fish in the lotus pond

There is a garden in the garden, and flowers bloom during the summer solstice

Take Metro Line 4 and you can reach Yuanmingyuan by exiting Yuanmingyuan Station. It is very convenient. It is recommended to leave the scenic spot from this exit because the exit on the other side of the scenic spot is inconvenient for transportation and is far away from the subway station.

The Yuanmingyuan Scenic Area is really big. I have been here three times. The bleakness and tranquility in winter, and the vitality and vitality in summer. If you catch a sunny day, it will really be the beauty of heaven.

Among the more than 200 bridges, the only existing old stone bridge that is most completely preserved.

The pavilions and pavilions pass through the Red Bridge to Qichun Garden.

Fortunately, when we walk into these historical relics, we can still vaguely see the rise and fall of honor and disgrace at that time. When we go to the Forbidden City and the former residence of the mansion, whether we walk into the alleys that run through the alleys or walk in the park, we can see ancient banyan trees and green bamboos. The towering trees are like a big umbrella to protect the ancestors of China. Especially in summer, the branches and leaves are luxuriant. Looking around, a green ocean is spreading before our eyes. {data:{has_more:true,html:

Putting aside the heavy history, in summer, the bleakness of winter has changed, as if Yuanmingyuan has regained its glory of the past. Without those exquisite carvings and beautiful buildings, carvings of beams and columns can only be achieved by imagery. At that time, the only ponds, curved bridges, pavilions, and jade buildings still felt so beautiful.

The water lilies on one side are blooming brightly. Have they ever known about the ups and downs of this pond and this royal garden, the baptism of war has wiped them out? Now this summer color has added a little new vitality.

These buildings and landscapes, which are either restored or left behind, are different all year round. When winter comes, what you may feel most is the bleakness and desolation of the cold wind. However, in summer, this place seems to be full of vitality. The scenery is picturesque, with boats in the painting, as if a person is swimming in a painting.

After entering Yuanmingyuan, the first large-scale ruins and buildings next to them are the maze and the harmony and charm. Apart from Dashui Law, this is the area with the most concentrated flow of people. It has not been here for a few years. When I arrived here this winter, I saw that harmony and charm had already built a plank road, and I couldn't walk in and see it. In the past, this place was the only place that could walk in and experience the vicissitudes of its history, because in addition to harmony and charm, other existing relics have all been protected. I couldn't walk in, but I also agreed with this way of protecting cultural relics and monuments. At the same time, I regretted that I could no longer have close contact with these precious relics. Fortunately, I came here twice in the past few years and was lucky to see it., leaving several precious photos.

I have seen a documentary about Yuanmingyuan before, which reproduces the grandeur of Yuanmingyuan, which has influenced it for two centuries. It has witnessed four generations of emperors and witnessed the rise and fall of a period of history. Yuanmingyuan, which has been expanded several times, eventually has 600 football fields. I really can't imagine that it once became an unprecedented epitome of the empire, including all architectural styles, symbolizing the supremacy of imperial power, and also pouring into the ideals and hopes of the builders.

If you want to savor Yuanmingyuan carefully, it will probably take you a day. Different from the cultural scenery in the traditional sense, before coming to Yuanmingyuan, it is best to do your homework in advance to have a preliminary understanding of this history, so that you can step into this once again. The once glorious royal garden will definitely give you different benefits.

Artistic inspiration 798

When traveling to Beijing before, I have always been biased towards historical relics, humanities and natural scenery. I have never really approached an artistic and creative place like 798.

The seemingly chaotic and random graffiti and the seemingly unintelligible design style all fully utilize the artistic creativity, and all the wild imagination can be found here.

As big as 798, if you want to walk into every venue, these pieces of art are enough for you to waste your day here. When you are tired, you can find a cafe or restaurant to experience this art distribution center with your taste. Inspired taste experience.

There are floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street, where you can see people coming and going, all kinds of people passing by, and you may even meet stars. Be sure to keep your eyes open. It is a common occurrence for the filming crew.

Being shrouded in art like this, and the corners are permeated with the nutrients of art. Whether you can't bear it anymore and want to show your talents, many stores are offering DIY courses, painting classes, handicraft classes, and fashion design classes to give you talents. Available, here to stimulate your artistic cells.

The entire 798 covers an area of more than 600,000 square meters. It starts from Jiuxianqiao Road in the west, Jiuxianqiao East Road in the east, Jiuxianqiao North Road in the north, and Jiangtai Road in the south. It used to be an old factory area of Beijing's state-owned electronics industry. During the renovation process, not only did the original scale continue and expand, some still retain the appearance of the original factory buildings. Except for the graffiti on the wall, there are not too many traces of decoration. It is like a symbol of an era, freezing the memories of that period and the characteristics of this era.

Art can also be expressed freely and freely. I like to walk through every small corner of the 798 to discover the beauty of invisible details.

The Internet celebrity graffiti wall has become one of the places where you must check in when visiting 798. Looking at the backs of foreigners under the graffiti wall, you have the illusion of suddenly arriving in a foreign country. It also shows from one side that it is really very artistic and has a strong sense of fashion.

You can always find interesting words and ideas in the nonsense on the graffiti wall, which is witty and humorous, and may even find resonance.

I found a big cute baby bear. I fiddled with the cloth flower handles for a while. Among the panda dolls of all sizes in the store, one was begging for hug on the second floor outside the door, and the other was lying leisurely on the other side of Ge You, ignoring the summer heat. It was unbearable.

The 798 is really suitable for concave shapes. Although there are many tourists every day, if you look carefully, you can always find your exclusive territory and play with concave shapes wantonly, but you should also pay attention to safety.

I often come to 798 for a stroll in the afternoon. Beside the red walls and plastic-steel windows, there are ancient trees with luxuriant leaves that I want to rely on. I don't feel the sun at all while walking on the road. The shadows of the trees are dancing and full of the smell of film.

There seem to be endless exhibition halls in 798. Some are open, some require a little ticket, some are long-term exhibitions, and some are roving exhibitions, but they are closed on Monday.

Tour Old Beijing

Exit A2 of Shichahai Station on Metro Line 8. Go straight ahead and you will reach the Drum Tower. Turn left will reach Yandai Xie Street. Crossing Yandai Xie Street will be the boundary between Houhai and Qianhai in Shichahai.

I have long heard about Yandai Slope Street. When the shops are not open in the morning, bicycles can pass through when there are few people. Logically speaking, it is a pedestrian street. It is relatively quiet in the morning, but it is quite commercialized during the day. The street is only about a kilometer.

Crossing Yandai Xiejie, you will arrive at Shichahai. Early morning comes, fading away the noise of the night. The calm lake water has another beauty.

The best way to get to Shichahai is to ride or take a human tricycle, stop as you watch, and you won't feel tired after a tour. There are still such narrow paths that can only be passed by pedestrians, and you will only discover them if you really walk into it.

Guozijian and Confucian Temple are two connected scenic spots. For a ticket, you can take the subway to the Yonghe Temple and then walk here. Nanluogu Lane, Beiluogu Lane, Yonghe Temple, and Wudaoying are all nearby. The scenic spots here are particularly concentrated, so you can spend a day walking around here and savor the old alleys and ancient buildings of old Beijing.

Zhu-Mingyu Liya, a new star in business travel

Take peace in the busy area and convenient transportation

Beijing Mingyu Liya Hotel is conveniently located on Jianguomen Nei Street in Dongcheng Area. It is a 20-minute drive from Beijing South Railway Station. It is located in the bustling and golden area of Chang 'an East Street. It can be a 5-minute walk to Dongdan Subway Station. It is very convenient to take Line 1 and Line 5. It is only a 20-minute walk to Tiananmen Square. It is close to Guomao and just across the corner of Wangfujing Commercial Pedestrian Street.

Not far away, Jianguomen Nei Street was busy with traffic. Passing through Beijige Hutong, the drizzling rain kept falling. Let the rain wet my clothes, I trotted all the way and finally arrived at the hotel where I stayed-Beijing Mingyu Liya Hotel. It was much more low-key than the Liya I imagined. It was a simple and bright lobby. When checking in, I found a very interesting design at the front desk. It was this red seat, which was originally used to facilitate guests check-in and temporarily store luggage. Therefore, adding such designs to one left and one right is both artistic and practical.

A seating area that is convenient for guests to wait, with newspapers, reading materials and drinks provided to guests, so that the waiting process will not feel boring.

Mingyu Liya Hotel (China? Beijing) is another limited-service high-end boutique business hotel (five-star standard) invested and managed by Mingyu Hotel Group. Mingyu has more than ten hotels spread across the country. In addition to the main venue in Chengdu, it currently involves Beijing, Nanchong, Leshan, Qingchengshan, Xishuangbanna, Mianyang and other places. It will cover more provinces in the future. They are both hotels under the Liya brand. One is located in Chengdu, and the other is the Beijing Mingyu Liya Hotel that we stay in today.

The hotel launched the Mingyu Club, which provides guests with vip benefits services. From silver membership to Premium Card, different levels of members enjoy different benefits and discounts. This time, I was lucky enough to enjoy a diamond-level benefit and the room is free. Upgrade; late check-out; welcome fruits...

The hotel has 129 rooms, which not only meet the needs of business guests. The simple and economical light-living room, the warm and comfortable Liya room, and the cute Hellokitty Doraemon parent-child family room. When the door is pushed open, it is similar to the design of the porch. It ensures the privacy of the guests. On the left is a small cloakroom with A huge full-length mirror. The bathroom on the right is separated from the wet and dry. I have to say that the toothbrush provided in the guest room is extremely easy to use. Compared with previous disposable toiletries, the hardness is moderate, so you don't have to worry about bleeding from your gums that are sensitive due to toothbrush problems.

The office and sitting areas in the master bedroom are separated, which is particularly nice. The office area suitable for business travel is equipped with wired plugs and office supplies. Even if you work all night long, the small refrigerator under the tea area behind you can contain drinks, coffee, biscuits, instant noodles, etc. snacks, instant coffee and tea bags are also ready.

The farthest distance from the straight line is the sofa seating area. The L-shaped combination sofa is enough for one person to lie down wantonly. While being lazy and relaxed, it will not affect friends working on the other side. For friends who have to work without leaving their hands when they are away, this layout and design are really considerate and thoughtful.

Nutritious juice is paired with fresh fruits to feel the freshness and coolness of summer.

Travel away and live a healthy life

At first, I thought someone's badge had been left in the room. On a closer look, the card clearly showed a standard route map. With the hotel as the center, there were check-in points within a 2-kilometer radius, and three routes were summarized for guests to refer to. I like to exercise, how can I miss it? Bring a jogging map and let's go.

Food-Explore the Jingcheng Yipintang, this is very Sichuan

I have long heard that Mingyu Hotel's catering is very unique. Walking into the three-floor Chinese restaurant-Yipintang, from Lingxiu Emei, Jiuzhai Xianjing, to Du Fu Cottage... These representative scenic spots in Sichuan have become the name of every box, and I have also found the Daocheng Aden, which I yearn for. This must be the pure land on earth that many travelers yearn for.

Speaking of blueberry yams, it is a classic cold dish that you are all too familiar with. When you see this exquisite and unique blueberry yams present in front of you, it completely subverts the previous impression of this dish. These two shapes shaped like buckets are carved with yams, one white and one yellow, condensed milk and fruit juice. After the yams are dipped in the cold juice, they will aftertaste the refreshing summer flavor.

Eat a piece of saliva chicken, it is full of hemp, spicy, fragrant, tender, and slightly sour and sour. Not only is the ingredients selected from free-range local chicken, but the heat of cooking the chicken during the cooking process plays a key role in the final taste. In order to present authentic Sichuan flavor to guests, Mingyu Liya's executive chef comes from Chongqing on the tip of the tongue. When fresh ingredients incorporate the emotion for hometown and the love of food, the interpretation of the taste is also It is endless.

I am used to eating Kung Pao chicken diced, which belongs to the Kung Pao dish category. I use diced chicken instead of shrimp balls. The improved version of Kung Pao shrimp balls is sour and sweet and very appetizing. The processed prawns do not have peeled shrimps and shrimp lines. It is especially suitable for children to eat.

The Supreme Mushroom King Soup combines a variety of fungi with high nutritional value. Matsutake, Cordyceps flower, and wolfberry are no strangers. This is the first time I saw black truffle. The soup is processed with tin foil, which retains the original flavor of the ingredients.

Five-flavor lung tablets, those who love Sichuan cuisine, must also be the powder of couples 'lung tablets. Although beef scalp, beef heart, beef tongue, tripe, and beef are silly and indistinguishable after being poured with spicy oil, as long as you eat it, you can arouse the taste buds deep in your heart.

Yanbang Xianguo Rabbit

It's not boiled fish or boiled meat. This delicious and fragrant plate is one of the signature dishes here, Yanbang Xianguo Rabbit. When I ate rabbit meat for the first time, I carefully picked up a piece. It's different from ordinary boiled meat, rabbit meat should be firmer and chewy. When eaten together with various fungi and vegetables, people can't help but sigh that it's really Sichuan.

Sea urchin tofu

This is the first time I have eaten cooked sea urchin. It looks like crab roe, full of the sea, and paired with the fragrance of white tofu. Even people who can't eat seafood will not feel fishy.

Brown sugar pot helmet

I have always been addicted to desserts such as brown sugar glutinous rice cakes. This brown sugar pot helmet shaped like a steamed bun has the aroma of baking. It is soft, crisp, sweet and delicious.

A plate of fried kidney beans with ginkgo and lilies is really a favorite for girls. Coupled with the combination of kale, whether it is beauty and health care or for women who are on a diet, this dish is definitely not fat and rich in nutrients. There are also black vinegar seasonal vegetable salad, bamboo shoot soup, and dan dan noodles

Under the enthusiastic recommendation of the auntie who cooked noodles, I also cooked a rice noodle, which is different from the usual ones. This rice noodle was airlifted from Nanchong, Sichuan. It was paired with sesame oil and homemade side dishes. A fragrant Nanchong rice noodle was paired with three fresh noodles. You can choose beef and spicy minced pork. I feel that each kind is very delicious. Fortunately, I stayed for 2 nights and I can taste every kind.

Hot dishes such as stir-fried vegetables, soy milk, fried dough sticks, porridge, white boiled eggs, potato and sirloin, etc., are rich in Chinese food that satisfies most Chinese flavors. There are also Western dishes such as coffee, milk, bread, and bacon.

Watermelon, nectarine, cantaloupe, and lychee after dinner. If it doesn't satisfy your stomach, add a cup of American/cappuccino or cereal slices with a cup of fresh milk.
