Driving by yourself? Beijing? Driving in such a congested city?

Located near Chaoyangmen, this Galaxy SOHO is a rare large-scale building in the Second Ring Road of Beijing, covering an area of more than 50,000 square meters.
Chaoyangmen is also a prosperous area in Beijing, with many cars and many people, and frequent congestion. However, the EU5R600 is equipped with ten ADAS intelligent driving assistance functions, such as pedestrian safety protection, vehicle collision warning, automatic braking and other functions, allowing me to drive during this period. The driving process is safe and easy.

Galaxy SOHO's unique architectural design is a place where photography enthusiasts are keen on checking in. There are even various gods who have explored the shooting points of the gods. Although some of the more difficult points are dangerous and some have been closed, there are still a few places where the public can shoot a large number of points.

Walking around Galaxy SOHO Plaza casually, you can actually capture the beauty of the building's curves. Generally speaking, the open-air square on the first floor or the covered bridge on the first floor are good viewing spots. Looking up or looking into the distance, you can feel the complex displacement of the various platforms of Galaxy SOHO, creating a surrounding and fascinating environment. This streamlined and rhythmic building is worthy of being a landmark in Beijing!

At another shooting point, we had to walk out of Galaxy SOHO and enter the Chaoyangmen SOHO next door to take a look at the overall design of the building from a distance perspective. Although Chaoyangmen SOHO is a relatively low-key SOHO building, its simple style and glass walls also give it other uses.

There is a small indoor square on the 6th floor, where you can view Galaxy SOHO from a head-up perspective. The slightly reflective ground is also suitable for taking mirror-effect photos.

The 16th floor is a top-down view of Galaxy SOHO. Although there is no square to watch it close, this angle is even more rare.

Therefore, it has also become a photo spot where not only photography enthusiasts, but also people living in cities like to check in.

The last location is also an easy to reach shooting spot. The alley south of Galaxy SOHO is called Xiaopaifang Hutong. Although some of the buildings are blocked from the alley, the feeling of combining this new building with the unique Hutong characteristics of Beijing is not what Beijing should have!

In fact, I really like the appearance of the white EU5R600 that I tested for test drive. Look at the front face is matched with "double halberd" contour light strips and large size C-type daytime running lights. The body is a coupe style dynamic style, novel in shape, and the overall design sense complements the bright night scene of Galaxy SOHO.

If you come to Galaxy SOHO to check in, it is recommended that in the evening, you can take warm colors at sunset and cool colors at night. Of course, when the building lights are on, match the deep blue sky to make better photos!

Wangjing Soho

Another one comparable to Galaxy SOHO is Wangjing SOHO, located at the intersection of Wangjing Street and Fu 'an West Road in Chaoyang District, Beijing City. Many people will compare it with Galaxy SOHO. Although I think there are similarities, each has its own merits. Wangjing SOHO and Galaxy SOHO are both architectural works by world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid.

Traveling through Beijing's bustling streets all the way, you must use the navigation system. The EU5 R600 car is equipped with a smart voice system. Just say "Hello, Little E" and turn on navigation to help me find my next destination. It is said that this car is the first ground-to-ground model to use the "Darwin System". Intelligent interaction is more humane and superior. It combines advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and deep learning, allowing me to just drive and immerse myself in travel.

Wangjing SOHO's sense of technology has also attracted all kinds of photography enthusiasts. Many photographers and gods have found the roofs of nearby buildings to take panoramic photos of Wangjing SOHO. Unfortunately, I didn't find them and had to take photos nearby, but it's best to have a wide-angle lens. It will be easier to shoot.

Like Galaxy SOHO, I also suggest coming in the evening.

I did find a special place is this four-square-meter coffee shop. It is located on the 28th floor of Building 1 of the nearby Hopson Kirin Society. It is actually a cafe transformed from a house that sells coffee in the afternoon and craft beer in the evening.
This coffee shop has a window seat, which can seat at most three people. Wangjing SOHO is looking out of the window, which is a good viewing point.

Not far from Wangjing SOHO, there is a place where literary and artistic youth are keen to check in, that is the 798 Art District. The exhibitions here are always overwhelmed, and the graffiti walls that can be seen everywhere are even more surprising. There will always be some novel discoveries when visiting them every once in a while.
I came this time and discovered the graffiti art of Godzilla and Toad Wentai fighting against each other. I feel that with the addition of BAIC New Energy EU5R600 car, it has even more personality.

The 798 Art District has various industries including design, publishing, display, performance, artist studios, etc. Their arrival has redefined, designed and renovated the original industrial factory, redefined architecture and life, and created a variety of new architectural works.

At the same time, you can feel extremely inclusive culture and art. It is a very fashionable and avant-garde place, with history and future together.

Of course, there are also many Internet celebrity restaurants and cafes here, such as flatwhite, Weicang Shanhai, Beijing Season Coffee Shop, BOTANICA Botanical Garden Restaurant, etc. We did eat a more authentic and delicious Wanxiaokuan Sichuan cuisine.

In fact, the interior of the 798 is not very suitable for driving because the roads are a little narrow and crowded. Thanks to the EU5R600 's intelligent driving assistance system, it ensures driving safety. It is also equipped with the advanced intelligent bionic temperature control system IBTC, which is adapted to EMD3.0 pro intelligent electronic control system., it can monitor and adjust the temperature of batteries, batteries and coolant all the time, allowing the power battery to maintain a "constant body temperature" like a person while working, easily coping with the high summer temperatures.

The full name of Phoenix Center is Phoenix International Media Center. It is actually the office building of Phoenix Media. It is a comprehensive building that integrates TV program production, office, business and other functions. This Phoenix Center has become a new check-in spot for architectural photography this year.

In fact, this building has a long reputation, but it was suddenly opened to the public for free in April this year, and various blockbusters became popular on the Internet. Although it is also open now, it is also in the name of the exhibition that a ticket of 100 yuan/person is charged. You can enter and exit at will on the same day with your ticket and ID.

This is also a white building with a futuristic architectural design inspired by the Mobius Ring. A public area open to tourists is a space that combines facilities such as steps, landscape platforms, aerial circular corridors and sky-to-sky escalators.

The office area is not open to tourists, and when we were in the in-house cafe, we were reminded that we were not allowed to take photos of people or objects in the office area. Of course, because it was an office building, we tried to whisper as softly as possible to avoid disturbing others.

There are really few tourists on weekdays, which is suitable for taking good-looking photos. In addition, the building itself is full of movement and vitality, making you unconsciously fall in love with the environment here.

The 118 representative sculptures from Wu Weishan's artistic career displayed inside are combined with the modern architecture of the Phoenix Center, which is a dialogue that crosses historical time, space and cultural boundaries.

contemporary MoMA

I originally thought this MOMA was the Museum of Modern Art. In fact, contemporary MOMA is a high-end community in Beijing. It has a total construction area of 220,000 square meters and consists of 8 high-rise buildings.

Viewed from the outside, it is a bit like the outer wall of a Beijing courtyard. Walking in the community, you also feel the artistic concept of contemporary MOMA as a modern urban residential space. It was designed by Steven Holl, a professor at the University of Colombia. It fully explores the value of urban space and further develops urban space from a plane and vertical connection to a three-dimensional space.
The air corridor between buildings is made of blue and red glass. The colorful artistic sense is combined with the geometric structure of modern buildings, full of urban fashion!

In addition to residences, there are also Broadway Film Center, Kubrick Book Bar, boutique hotels, international bilingual kindergartens, top-notch restaurants, sky corridors clubs, etc... Kubrick and Broadway are indeed places worth checking in.

Speaking of which, have you already felt the atmosphere of high-end life here? That's right! When we drove over, we found that the surrounding roadside was full of cars, and the temporary parking lot in the community was so popular that there were no temporary parking spaces.

I wanted to say that I should charge the EU5R600 on the way, but I found that although I had been wandering around Beijing for so long, the remaining battery was still sufficient. I estimated that the EU5R600 's cruising range is consistent with the officially announced cruising range of 501 kilometers. It should be that this car's energy recovery efficiency is very high, which greatly improves its cruising capacity. Moreover, the EU5R600 's display battery life is relatively accurate and is the best among pure electric vehicles. It makes people very practical during long-distance driving.

In fact, there are many places in Beijing where urban youth are keen to check in for leisure and entertainment, such as Sanlitun, which is always full of crowded people and fashionable atmosphere. The nightlife there is really rich. There are some high-end and artistic grasslands, there is also a World Trade Plaza nearby, a little further away Chaoyang Joy City, Changying Sky Street, etc. In fact, I personally still like Beijing Hutongs more, which are less modern but have more flavor of life in the capital.
