Route: Street View Stage-Art Museum of China-Wudaoying Hutong-Jingzhao Yin-Yonghegong-Beijing Confucian Temple and Guozijian Museum-Nanluogu Lane-Shichahai-Yandaixie Street-Guangfuguan-Houhai-Dazhalan

Beijing's streetscape, this once should have been a street stage.

After breakfast, I came to the National Art Museum of China. I thought I had arrived early, but I didn't expect it to be crowded inside. Tickets: Free, swipe your ID card to enter. The National Art Museum of China is one of the top ten buildings celebrating the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has a particularly beautiful appearance, antique and majestic appearance. The main building is in an antique loft-style style, with a large roof of yellow glazed tiles and surrounded by corridors and pavilions, with a distinctive national architectural style. The National Art Museum of China has the status of a National Art Museum and is a national plastic art museum focusing on collecting, researching and displaying works of modern Chinese artists.

On the right side of the art museum is an outdoor sculpture garden. There are relatively few tourists here and the sculptures are lifelike. The rising sun poured down and shone on the sculpture. Although the photo was a little backlit, the real scene and the surrounding green trees made the early morning very quiet.

The National Art Museum of China has a total of five floors. You can take stairs or take a straight ladder to go up. You go there too early, and sometimes the straight ladder is not yet open. There are a total of 20 exhibition halls on the fifth floor, and there are 9 exhibition halls on the first floor; there are 3 small exhibition halls on the mezzanine of the first and second floors; there are 5 exhibition halls on the second floor; and there are 3 exhibition halls on the third floor, with a large exhibition area. There is also a distribution map of the exhibition hall of the art museum next to the straight ladder, making it easy to choose and view the exhibition.

The first exhibition we saw was "Elements of Painting Things", which is a sketch exhibition of the art museum's collection. Later, I saw many paintings in the Collection Boutique Exhibition Hall.

The most popular exhibition of the day was "Temperature of the Times" on the first floor. This was an art exhibition for the 60th anniversary of the founding of Shandong Art Institute. The exhibition hall was crowded with people, and many art colleges in Shandong specially came to visit. There are many large sculptures and huge paintings in the exhibition hall, all of which are very shocking.

Later, I watched the "Chinese Thangka Art Exhibition". I had always heard about Thangka art before, but today I finally saw it as a reality.

I really like watching the rock painting art exhibition. It feels amazing. There are also video introductions in the exhibition hall.

Deep on the right side of the National Art Museum are tall sycamore trees. The sun shines on the sycamore trees, and the leaves shine with golden light, which is particularly poetic.

There are also many outdoor sculptures everywhere around here. It is relatively small and most tourists will not find it.

There is a fully transparent glass house surrounded by sycamore trees. This is the cultural and creative center of the National Art Museum of China. There is a very beautiful petty bourgeoisie coffee shop hidden inside. If it weren't for my senior sister's recommendation, I would never have found it here.

Cultural and creative products, various decorations, and stationery are sold here. I also saw my senior's new favorite. At the end of the walk, you enter the coffee shop NAMOC COFFEE, which has two floors in total.

The environment is so beautiful that you can sit quietly all day. The sun shines in through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and the golden reflection of sycamore leaves is reflected on the tray. It is really comfortable.

The fragrant chocolate is really beautiful ~

The chocolate muffin is a little better than the ones at Father Xing's house.

Starting from Wudaoying Hutong, there are many scenic spots around. If you have enough time, you can experience it carefully for a day or two. In Beijing, hutong tours are also one of the special tours, and Wudaoying Hutong is also one of the many popular hutongs. The name Wudaoying still has a small history, but what I like better is the sign about the alley at the entrance. I also recorded a small video. I think this shape is very creative.

There are antique tile-roofed houses on both sides of the entire alley. Some of them still have red lanterns hanging in front of them, which has an ancient charm; some have been transformed into coffee shops, cultural and creative stores or jewelry stores, and the stores have also been decorated in a very modern and fresh look. After all, this is now a very popular gathering place for literary and artistic petty bourgeoisie.

I was a little lost walking around inside, so I finally walked straight forward according to the vertical coordinates. I felt that I had no way to get to the fun spots. Maybe it would be more interesting here at night.

Later, I went to visit Jingzhao Yin not far away, mainly because I was interested in this name. It turned out that Jingzhao Yin was the official name of the Han Dynasty in China, which was equivalent to the mayor of today's capital during the Western Han Dynasty.

Coming out of Wudaoying Hutong, there is a long red wall across the road. Inside the wall is the Lama Temple. The area of Lama Temple is larger than I imagined. There are a total of three large archways on the periphery of Yonghe Temple, each of which is exquisite, and the tall archways are also very colorful. The writing on the front and back plaques is different, but when the sun is too strong, the golden words on the plaques sometimes cannot be reflected. This attraction seems to be really popular. There were many tour groups and tourists coming that day. It was very difficult to take photos with people and cars coming and going.

The name of Yonghe Palace was changed three times. After Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty built a mansion here, he gave it to the emperor's fourth son, Prince Yong, which was called the Mansion of Prince Yong. After Yongzheng proclaimed himself emperor, it was changed to a palace, which was called Yonghe Palace. After Yongzheng's death, the coffin was parked here. After the level was changed, the main hall was changed from green glazed tiles to yellow glazed tiles. Emperor Qianlong was born here, and there were two emperors in Yonghe Palace, so the temple was made of yellow tiles and red walls, with the same specifications as the Forbidden City; during the Qianlong period, Yonghe Palace was transformed into a Lama Temple, which was the highest-specification Buddhist temple in the country in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, so its English name is The Lama Temple. I only learned when I visited it inside that the Lama Temple is a Lama Temple. I used to think it was just the emperor's palace.

Yonghe Palace is really grand. There are more than a thousand halls in total, and there are five-story halls on the axis of light. Yonghe Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist temple with a very unique architectural style. It integrates the architectural art of Manchu, Han, Tibetan, Mongolian and other ethnic groups. There are exquisite flying eaves and arches everywhere. The incense here is very strong now. Although it affects the photo effect, the smoke makes the ancient Lama Temple more dreamy.

The Yonghe Palace is composed of five magnificent temples. A large number of precious cultural relics are preserved in the temple. Among them, the Yonghe Palace's characteristic "Three Wonders of Wood Carving" are the Five Hundred Arhats Mountains carved in red sandalwood, the Buddhist niche carved in golden nanwood and the White Sandalwood Buddha. The White Sandalwood Buddha is the first of the three. It is carved from an entire white sandalwood tree, 18 meters above the ground and 8 meters underground, making it 26 meters in total. It is the largest single-wood carved Buddha statue in the world.

I visited the Confucius Temple while traveling in Nanjing. Before I went there, I thought that the Confucius Temple and the Imperial Academy in Beijing were two scenic spots. When I arrived, I realized that the two had been merged into the Confucius Temple and the Imperial Academy Museum.

The entire street at the entrance is full of tall trees. I don't know if they are ginkgo trees. They are so tall that they block the sky and the sun. When the wind blows, golden leaves fall down one after another, which is very beautiful.

The Confucius Temple and the Imperial College in Beijing have a history of more than 700 years. The Confucian Temple is the place where the royal family worships Confucius. The Imperial College was the highest administrative organ of state management and education in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties of China. The two adopted the same traditional architectural methods and formed a set of magnificent ancient buildings. It is said that the former Capital Museum and Capital Library are also located in the two.

In the basic exhibition, in addition to introducing the life of Confucius and the widespread spread of Confucianism, it also details the "best" of all types among the more than 1300 Confucian temples across the country. The two restoration exhibitions are located on the middle road of the Confucian Temple and the Imperial Academy respectively. They truly reproduce the situation when the Emperor gave sacrifices to Confucius in the late Qing Dynasty and gave lectures to Confucius. They have a feeling of travel. The restoration of Confucius Temple Middle Road mainly includes Dacheng Gate and Dacheng Hall on the central axis. Dacheng Gate was also called Halberd Gate in ancient times, and it was named after the left and right halberds in the gate. After restoration, it was made worthy of its name. Twenty-four halberds were arranged inside the door, demonstrating the solemnity and majesty of the Confucian Temple.

Dacheng Hall is the main building of the Confucian Temple. It has double eaves and the roof of the hall. It is a place where the throne of Confucius is worshipped and the emperor saluted during the sacrifice to Confucius. The glazed tile roof changed from green to yellow, and the hall was expanded from seven rooms with three entrances to nine rooms with five entrances. After the restoration, the memorial tablets of Confucius, Sipei, and Twelve Philosophers in the hall were painted with gold, and the curtains were updated and the imperial inscription plaque was restored. In accordance with ancient regulations, various furnishings used to worship Confucius with "Tailao" will be restored.

There are many towering ancient trees inside, with luxuriant branches and leaves that block the sky and the sun, and their appearance is also very strange.

Both groups of buildings have basically restored the scene at that time. The last monument titled Jinshi to be visited at the Confucian Temple was also very spectacular. When visiting the Imperial College, the camera actually ran out of power. I regretted that I couldn't take photos and looked forward to checking in again.

During my trip to Beijing, the hutong tour I was most looking forward to was Nanluogu Lane. On the way to Nanluogu Lane by bus, I saw many famous former residences. After getting off the bus, I was directly attracted by the huge archway with the four characters of Nanluogu Lane written on it. The exquisite archway was very imposing ~

Nanluogu Lane starts from Gulou East Street in the north and ends at Ping 'an Street in the south. It has a total length of 787 meters. It was built in the same period as the Yuan Dynasty and ranks among the 25 planned old city reserves. It is said that it was previously named Luoguo Lane due to terrain, but was renamed Nanluogu Lane during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing, with a history of more than 740 years. It is the only checkerboard traditional residential area in my country that completely retains the texture of the Yuan Dynasty Hutong courtyards, has the largest scale, the highest grade and the richest resources. It is also the most endowed with old Beijing style streets.

Starting from the archway, we entered the pedestrian street. There were many huge paintings on the antique gray brick wall on one side. We arrived at the sunset, and dusk added a touch of gold to the paintings. These paintings all look like sketches, but they feel like they were sprayed on. Anyway, I don't think they should be paper.

Nanluogu Lane and its surrounding area were once the city center of the Yuan Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was a place of great wealth and wealth. The streets, alleys and alleys here were crowded with dignitaries, and there were countless royal palaces. Therefore, there were many mansions and houses in the surrounding hutongs, most of which were former residences of celebrities. Unfortunately, most of the places we arrived in the evening had stopped visiting. Every alley in Nanluogu Lane is very wide, crisscrossing between the alleys. On both sides of the alley are various buyer shops, cultural and creative shops and restaurants. Of course, there are also many tourists. Many Internet celebrity shops are also here. There is a long line at the door.

I just found here after navigation because I wanted to check in. The appearance of this store is antique, which completely conforms to the temperament of Nanluogu Lane and is integrated into the building complex of Nanluogu Lane.

The cantilever beams on the inner roof are also like ancient buildings, but there are very artistic pictures hanging on the walls. At first, I thought they were coffee beans, but they were related to coffee anyway.

The dining environment inside the house is small and the customer flow is large. You need to queue up to order, pick up, and even wait for a seat. The main reason is that many people are chatting and resting here, and they have to wait for a while before they can have a vacant seat.

We ordered an egg tuna grain sandwich and a bacon egg sandwich and continued with the toffee hazel-fructose crisp latte. I found that if I use paper cups, it will not look as good as using mugs.

It was already dark since Father Xing came out. Nanluogu Lane was brightly lit at night, making it even more lively. Many shops had rotating projections on the ground, which was quite interesting.

Arriving at Shichahai at night, it is the largest historical district in Beijing with the most complete preservation of features. Among the 25 historical and cultural reserves, Shichahai has the largest area.

The Shichahai Sea includes Qianhai, Houhai and Xihai, and is one of the scenic spots in Yanjing. There are many ancient buildings near Shichahai, including Gong Wang Mansion, Soong Ching Ling's Former Residence and Chun Wang Mansion, Guo Moruo Memorial Hall, Bell and Drum Tower, Deshengmen Arrow Tower, Guanghua Temple, Huitong Temple, Huixian Hall, etc.

Yandai Xie Street is located in the Qianhai part of Shichahai. There are not many tourists on cold nights. The reason why it is called this name is mainly because the street mainly sells smoking utensils such as dry tobacco bags and hookah bags, as well as antiques, calligraphy and painting, decoration, stationery and flavor snacks. Yandai Xie Street is a relatively famous cultural street. Together with Drum Tower and Nanluogu Lane, it has become a well-known attraction. It has also left the footprints of many cultural celebrities here.

Walking in from the archway gives you a feeling of traveling through. Under the dim light, most of the shops on both sides are gray tiled houses, simple and have the feel of old Beijing. It is estimated that many people will look for antiques here during the day.

The more famous attractions on Yandai Xie Street are the Qing Dynasty Post Office and Guangfu Temple. Let's go and visit it next time during the day.

It is said that the Shichahai Scenic Area has beautiful scenery and is known as the "Water Town in the North". You can see the Shichahai when you walk out of Yandai Xie Street.

When I asked for directions, someone told me that it belonged to Qianhai before crossing the bridge. After crossing the bridge, I reached Houhai. The most famous part of Houhai is Houhai Bar Street. Through the glass, I saw that performances had begun in the bar. The lively night was coming.

The last stop tonight is to experience the night view of Dazhalan. I used to visit Dazhalan in the afternoon, or pay attention to the pronunciation as da shi la er. Dazhalan at the front door has always been a famous commercial street. Dazhalan is brightly lit at night, and many fiery red lanterns are hanging everywhere, illuminating the sky and the ground, turning a little red.

There are many well-known restaurants in China all over the country. I feel that eating all over Dazhalan is equivalent to tasting all over Chinese food.

We bought a lot of Beijing specialties in Daoxiang Village. If we bought Quanjude Roast Duck separately without eating, we could only buy it from the window outside the restaurant. We lined up in the cold wind. I didn't expect so many people to buy Quanjude Roast Duck on such a cold day.
