Day 1 Changsha--Beijing--Nanluogu Lane

On the first day, we purchased special tickets in advance to Changsha and flew directly to Beijing. The distance was 1450 kilometers and the flight time was about 2 hours and 40 minutes. We landed safely in Beijing. I chose to stay at the Beijing Fushan International Youth Hostel, which has a good reputation. The bed costs 70 yuan per night. The six-person room has a separate bathroom. The hotel has an excellent location. It is close to Nanluogu Lane, Houhai and Beihai Park, and it is to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. The distance is also less than 5 kilometers, and you can reach the Andingmen Subway Station only about 800 meters away from the door. The transportation is very convenient. Remember in Beijing that if you can take the subway, you must not take the bus. The bus is not only jammed in traffic, but also crowded. The key point is that it is very expensive without a bus pass.

It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon when I landed in Beijing. After resting in the hostel for two hours, I came out to find food. Due to the hard journey, I didn't arrange too much travel. I chose to have dinner in the nearby "Nanluogu Lane". There are many kinds of snacks that can be purchased selectively according to personal tastes, such as Beijing's specialty snacks, Yao Ji fried liver, stewed fire, bean juice, pea yellow, etc., must depend on the mood. Outsiders really can't get used to eating, but since we are in Beijing, Got to try.

Day 2 798 Art District--Sanlitun--CCTV Big Pants--Wangfujing--Oriental Xintiandi

The next day, I got up early and settled breakfast around the hostel. I made an appointment with my classmates to go to the [798 Art District] on the Fifth Ring Road. My considerate friend prepared a bus card for me, so it was still very convenient. Beijing's public transportation is different from other cities. You swipe your card first when you get on the bus, and you have to swipe it once when you get off the bus. If you don't have a card, you only need to coin in. Generally, it's two pieces, and generally one piece for swiping your card.

After several rounds and almost an hour's drive, we arrived at the 798 Art District. It was originally just an idle factory building. However, due to the unique style of the factory building being favored by many artists, the area has gradually formed a multi-cultural space with many various exhibition halls, which can be visited for free, and some exhibitions will be held in this area from time to time, which are all free. Friends who like art can stroll and see more here.

Then my friends and I went to Sanlitun just to feel the momentum of the SOHO Building. We didn't wait until we went to the bar happy at night. We ate something at the Starbucks in Sanlitun SOHO Building, and then bought some snacks at a nearby supermarket., solved lunch; It was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon after taking a break. Then we took a bus to admire CCTV's "Big Pants" and took photos as a souvenir. Then we went to "Wangfujing Pedestrian Street" and "Oriental Xintiandi". Friends who like shopping can stroll more. There is a snack street on Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, which is filled with the smell of seafood. Personally, I feel that there is nothing delicious. There are places selling squid and tripe everywhere. We chose to have dinner at Wangfujing's Food Street, which is also full of snacks, including a variety of snacks from all over the country. After walking for nearly 20 kilometers in such a day, I really didn't have the mood to see the night view anymore. I returned to the hostel early to rest.

Day 3 Forbidden City--Beihai Park--Gong Palace--Houhai

On the third day, since we are in Beijing, we must visit the Forbidden City (student ticket is 20 yuan) and the Tiananmen Gate Tower (student ticket is 5 yuan) to go up to the location where Chairman Mao announced the founding of the People's Republic of China. Remember that the museum is closed on Monday afternoons in the off-season, so you can enter at 8:30 a.m.. Early rather than late. Tiananmen Square requires security checks, and there are many people who go late. Moreover, you must remember that the Forbidden City has implemented a one-way tour route from south to north. Tourists will all enter through the Wumen Gate (South Gate) and exit Shenwu Gate (North Gate). Visit along the central axis. You will pass by the [Treasure Hall](Student Ticket 10 Yuan) and the [Clock Hall](Student Ticket 10 Yuan). Interested You can go and have a look. It took about three hours to stroll all the way.

After coming out of the north gate of the Forbidden City, there are many snack bars around, such as Beijing's more famous Huguo Temple snacks, Qingfeng Bun Shop, etc., you can try them, but I don't know which one is the most authentic. After lunch, you can go to Beihai Park](student ticket is 5 yuan). The park is very big and the environment is particularly good; then go to "Gong Wang Fu"(student ticket is 20 yuan). He Shen's mansion, you must remember to take a tour guide and listen to He Shen's story. Very interesting, very interesting; Stroll slowly, stroll around slowly, choose Quanjude Roast Duck in Houhai for dinner. The meal starts at 5 o'clock and you can buy a group. Half of the roast duck is 99 yuan. If you have enough for two people, then go to the restaurant to order some snacks or something. It's easy to eat enough. After dinner, you can go to the bar street in Houhai. It is very lively. If you are interested, you can also go in for a drink or two and listen to a few songs.

Day 4 Summer Palace--Yuanmingyuan--Peking University--Tsinghua University

On the fourth day, the Summer Palace (student ticket is 15 yuan) is very large. It takes half a day to go shopping. You can bring your own dry food to bring in, because there are basically no places to eat in the park. There are only Ministores, and only instant noodles, sausages and snacks are provided, and they are much more expensive than outside; the scenery in the park is also very beautiful. After all, it is the back garden of the Empress Dowager Cixi. You can visit the guide and listen to the history of the Summer Palace;[Yuanmingyuan](Student package: 10 yuan: includes tickets to the Yuanmingyuan Gate, Xiyanglou Ruins Scenic Area, and panoramic model tickets) It is near the Summer Palace and can be reached quickly by bus. After entering the park, you can walk and watch. It takes about two hours to stroll around. When you come out of Yuanmingyuan, you can go to the nearby [Peking University]. You can go and watch Peking University's Weiming Lake and Boya Pagoda. If you have time, you can also stroll around the Peking University campus to experience the atmosphere of an institution of higher learning. After visiting Peking University, of course, you should also visit the Tsinghua Garden in the nearby [Tsinghua University]. Tsinghua University can only choose to enter on weekends and is not open to the public from Monday to Friday. During dinner time, we settled it at [Wudaokou Donglaishun]. We can choose to group purchase. The price is affordable, the portions are sufficient, and the taste is not bad.

Day 5 Badaling Great Wall-Bird's Nest-Water Cube

On the fifth day, the visit to the [Badaling Great Wall](student ticket is 20 yuan) took a day. I went to the Great Wall in Badaling Natural Scenic Area and signed up for a chartered car with the tourists from the hostel. It was 130 yuan per person. The chartered car will be picked up and picked up back and forth, including tickets to the Great Wall. It takes about two hours to get there by car from the city. There were very few people on the Great Wall. When we went there, the wind on the Great Wall was particularly strong, but the weather was relatively good, and we could see the blue sky and white clouds, and it felt within reach. The higher we climbed, the more spectacular the scene we saw. I basically climbed to the highest point and photographed many beautiful scenery. We stopped and stayed on the Great Wall for nearly three hours, and then prepared to start our return journey.

It is already 5 pm when I return to Beijing City. I go back to the hostel and rest for an hour before going out for dinner. There are many restaurants around the hostel where rice and pasta are available, and the prices are not expensive. The hostel also provides dinner for guests to choose from; After dinner, I went to Beijing's landmark buildings [Bird's Nest] and [Water Cube] to watch the night view. Because the weather was particularly good at that time, with blue sky and white clouds, and the night view of the Bird's Nest was also very beautiful. It was very worth visiting. However, the venues of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube (both require tickets, 25 yuan for students, and 15 yuan for students) I didn't go in. I heard that there was nothing interesting, so I just need to take a look outside.

Day 6 Beijing--Changsha Good Morning Travel Hotel

On the sixth day, the trip was coming to an end, and I was ready to return to Changsha. Coincidentally, we had lunch near Zhongguancun with friends. In the afternoon, we attended a Party in the magazine living room and took some photos of the wonderful pictures of the event. The event lasted until 5 p.m. and ended. Then I took the subway to Terminal T3 of Capital Airport and flew directly from Beijing to Changsha. The flight was 19:25 p.m., but due to weather conditions, it lasted until around 8:40 p.m... It was already 11:30 p.m. to safely arrive in Changsha. I took the Airport Road bus to [Civil Aviation Hotel](ticket is 15,5 yuan), and then took a flight for 20 yuan to [Changsha Good Morning Travel Hotel]. It is a very themed art hotel. When I arrived near the hotel by car, you can see the hotel's distinctive sign not far away-[Good Morning Travel, Living Elsewhere]; I like it very much and has its characteristics. I stayed in a luxurious couple room at 278 yuan per night. Personally, I felt that the value for money was quite high. After washing up at the hotel, I had a good sleep and ended my trip in my sleep.

Travel Tips:

1. If conditions permit, you can purchase tickets in advance. The total cost of my round-trip ticket from Changsha to Beijing is about 1200 yuan. It is not expensive but not cheap. After all, it is 1450 kilometers and a flight time of 2 hours and 40 minutes;

2. Regarding transportation, if you can take the subway, don't take the bus. If you have classmates or friends in Beijing, I suggest asking them to help you get a transportation card. It is convenient and cheap. I stayed for nearly a week, and the subway bus cost is about 70 yuan;

3. Regarding the hotel, be sure to choose a suitable location. It is best to be close to the subway, or live near Nanluogu Lane. It is very close to all attractions in Beijing and makes travel convenient, because all attractions in Beijing basically have subway stations, which can save you a lot of unnecessary time;

4. Regarding diet, Beijing snacks can be tried selectively depending on your mood, and then Beijing Roast Duck and Donglaishun Hot Pot can be consumed at stores with group purchase pairs, which will be much cheaper;

5. Try not to rush the route planning. There are many scenic spots in Beijing and the tickets are very cheap. Don't rush around or run for the attractions. Make trade-offs. Follow your preferences and walk slowly.

6. If you have extra time, you can go to Beijing's hutongs more. After all, this is the real old Beijing culture, and you can experience the leisurely life of Beijingers.
