The pleasant and beautiful Beijing movies, the bean juice that you can't get used to, the dense alleys, and the quiet courtyard houses in the alleys... These are probably my general impressions of Beijing.

In fact, I liked Beijing at first. I was more or less influenced by the writer Lao She."Camel Xiangzi","Teahouse" and "Four Generations Together" painted me the secular human feelings of old Beijing. Although it is different from the present Beijing, it does not hinder me from coming here to explore the traces of the collision and fusion of tradition and modernity in Beijing.

I left immediately. A ticket to Beijing sent me to the land of Beijing in nearly 3 hours.

Before coming, I drew up a trip plan for myself based on online strategies. The theme of the plan was "East of the Forbidden City." Most of the places I wanted to visit were mainly concentrated in Dongcheng Area in Beijing, which is east of the Forbidden City. For the convenience of travel, accommodation is also arranged in Dongcheng Area. After settling down, we embarked on a 4-day and 3-night journey.

"Everywhere beside the seats, I rate Chen Ruyichang" is a poem written by Emperor Qianlong when describing the Forbidden City. "I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City" is a documentary I like very much, and I learned a lot about the Forbidden City from it. Taking the Forbidden City as the first choice for a trip to Beijing, I believe many people, like me, can't wait to spy on this palace that has witnessed the rise and fall of Chinese history for hundreds of years.

I am not very unfamiliar with the Forbidden City. This is also the second time I have come to the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City is located in the center of Beijing City, also known as the "Forbidden City." There were 24 emperors living here and it was the royal palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. As far as you can see, the entire building complex of the Forbidden City is resplendent, solemn and magnificent, and extremely spectacular.

A central axis runs through the entire Forbidden City, and the three halls, the three rear palaces, and the imperial garden are all located on this central axis. This central axis is on the central axis of Beijing, reaching Yongding Gate in the south and the Drum Tower and Bell Tower in the north, dividing Beijing into symmetrical halves. The completion of the Forbidden City embodies the wisdom and blood and sweat of the working people hundreds of years ago. It is truly an unparalleled masterpiece.

Because it is so big, I can't spend an afternoon shopping around it. I follow the footsteps of tourists and watch it briefly, but the shock it brought to me was not shallow at all. Under the lens of the camera, one shot presents a sense of age, which is easy to produce.

This year, there are much fewer tourists to the Forbidden City than in previous years, and there is a rare quietness. Visiting the Forbidden City allows you to better feel every corner and slowly stroll around the entire Forbidden City.

Coming out of Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City, I rode my bicycle to Wangfujing. As we all know, every city has its own commercial street, Chunxi Road in Chengdu and Jiefangbei in Chongqing. Then the commercial street in the capital of Beijing is Wangfujing.

Wangfujing takes into account history and novelty, and is compatible with tradition and modernity. The ancient ones, with the change of years, become increasingly visible; the new ones, following the speed of the times, show off more and more elegant. There are both century-old stores like "Ruiqixiang" and major luxury brands.

Central Square, now a new landmark on Wangfujing Street, is located on the west side of Wangfujing Street and covers a large area. Many world-class brands have settled in Wangfu Central, which can be said to be a gathering of big brands.

Many fashionable young people shuttle through it, and there are many brands I have never seen before, which shows the inclusiveness and development vitality of the capital.

When I am tired from shopping in Wangfujing, the snack street next to it is a good place to fill my stomach. Snacks from all over the country gather here, and I feel full after eating a few things. I hate that my stomach is not big enough.

Travel doesn't want to be too stereotyped, and I like to find some more classic places to go. The same is true for hotels. I chose the Novotel Peace Hotel in Beijing, which is also a classic in the eyes of Beijingers. This is one of the eight major hotels after the founding of the People's Republic of China and one of the first hotels established after the founding of New China. It has witnessed many historical moments. The west building of the hotel built in the 1950s has been renovated with the times. On the side is the main building of the hotel built later, which not only retains classics but also absorbs more foreign styles.

The hotel lobby is located in the main building of the newly built hotel. The European architectural style is also a very classic design. The style of the lobby is very suitable for taking photos. Pinfang Buffet Restaurant is just behind the lobby, which serves all-day Chinese and Western food and buffet.

On the second floor is a conference room and a gym swimming pool. You should also come here to exercise while traveling. The Executive Lounge is located on the top floor of the hotel and you can clearly see the Forbidden City, Wangfujing and other areas.

The hotel rooms have also followed the trend of the times and made many innovations. I stayed in the hotel's parent-child suite, which consisted of a living room and a room. The most indispensable thing in the parent-child room is the warm cartoon elements, which should be very popular with children. There are children's tents and slides in the living room, and cartoon dolls are on the bed in the room. If children stay in this room, it will be a happy thing. Opening the window, you can see Beijing's Jingshan and the Forbidden City, and nearby you can see the hutongs full of life.

The garden restaurant retains the rockery and pavilions of the Natong Palace Garden in Yehnara. As soon as I walked into the yard, it became quiet. The dishes are also very authentic, with a variety of Beijing-style dishes and snacks. Not only hotel guests, but also Beijing locals like to come here to entertain friends.

Next to the hotel is the authentic old alley, and a few steps away is the famous Shijia Hutong. Don't forget to check in the alley when you come to Beijing. It is recommended to get up early and start at the hotel to ride a bicycle, ride a circle in the direction of the Forbidden City, pass through Beijing's parks, and experience a real Beijingers 'morning.

Hutong culture can be said to be unique to Beijing and is different from the alleys of Shanghai and the streets and alleys of Suzhou. Some people say that the essence of Beijing's Hutong culture is "forbearance", to be obedient, and to be obedient. I don't quite agree. In my opinion, Beijing's hutong culture more reflects a kind of relocation, a kind of neighborhood harmony, and an old memory that cannot be let go.

Shijia Hutong is a well-preserved old Beijing Hutong cultural district in Beijing. It belongs to the white flag in the Qing Dynasty. Shijia Hutong Primary School was once Shi Kefa's ancestral hall, and Zhang Shizhao also lived there. The dormitory of the Beijing People's Art Theater is also here. Shijia Hutong has a good garden with Deng Yingchao's plaque, Shijia Hutong Museum, All-China Women's Federation's Elderly Home, China Women's Publishing House, etc. These profound cultural heritage give Shijia Hutong an intriguing scenery. The footage was taken of the alley in the morning light as a souvenir.

Guardian Art Center is located at No. 1 Wangfujing Street, Beijing. When I first saw it, I was already shocked by its appearance. It is a huge silver-gray irregular building. What kind of immortal designer was it to create such a beautiful building?

The architectural style is bold, striking a delicate balance between the old and the new, placing the new building into the texture of Beijing's ancient city while harmoniously coordinating with the surrounding environment. The lower part of the building is like a rockery stacked with stone, echoing the scale and feel of the adjacent traditional hutong courtyard house, while the floating glass square ring above the building reflects Beijing's modernization as a global metropolis.

This is a flexible and rich cultural space, integrated with restaurants, hotels, and public transportation infrastructure. The 1700-square-meter pillar-free exhibition space on the first floor of the building is very design, has a strong post-modern style, and takes photos very high-level.

With the rise of innovative consciousness, more and more old factories have been transformed into cultural and creative parks. Whether it is Songshan and Huashan Cultural and Creative Parks in Taiwan, Chengdu's Eastern Suburb Memory, and Beijing's 77 Cultural and Creative Park, they have been transformed., have all been given new vitality and vitality.

Beijing 77 Cultural and Creative Industrial Park, just across the street from the Art Museum of China, starts from the back street of the Art Museum in the east and ends at Xiaoqudeng Hutong in the west, across the street from the Art Museum of China. Before 2012, it was the former site of Beijing Offset Printing Factory. It has been renovated since 2014 and has attracted a number of well-known cultural enterprises to settle in. It has gradually formed a themed cultural park with film, television and drama as the core content, achieving a gorgeous transformation and rebirth.

Here, you can enjoy traditional theater performances and of course you can take beautiful photos of the industrial style. Just naked, it is enough to attract people.

Because of Liu Xinwu's novel "Bell and Drum Tower", I learned about the architecture of Beijing's Bell and Drum Tower. The Drum Tower beats the drums to set the clock, and the Bell Tower beats the bell to tell the time. This is the timing method and urban management method inherited from ancient times, providing the people with a reference for life and labor.

The bell tower and the drum tower are in front of each other, only a hundred meters apart. They are the most well-preserved, largest and tallest ancient buildings among the existing bell and drum towers in the country.

Climbing up the stairs, standing at the top of the Drum Tower, overlooking the gathered Beijing alleys and courtyard houses, it seemed that the drums were melodious and spreading in all directions of Beijing.

Due to epidemic prevention and control reasons, the Bell Tower was not open to tourists, and it was a pity that we could not see the Yongle Bell, the king of ancient bells.

Coming out of the Bell and Drum Tower, the next destination is Fangjia Hutong. If Shijia Hutong is a gathering place for literature and art, then Fangjia Hutong is an important "Machine Tool Hutong" in Beijing's industrial history. Courtyard 46 in the Hutong is the site of the former Chinese Machine Tool Factory.

There are historical relics here such as Nanxue, Baoquan Bureau North Manufacturing Factory, Baiyi Temple, Xunjun Wangfu, Qing Dynasty Firearms Camp Horse Factory, Capital First Library and other historical relics, revealing profound cultural heritage; there are also old people enjoying the shade in the shade, and kittens napping on the eaves, exuding a charming atmosphere of life.

Some people worry that Hutong culture will one day disappear, but at a time when traditional culture is highly valued, people will only take care of it more carefully and protect these tangible historical vicissitudes and human memories.

I don't know when visiting the library has become a habit for me in every new city, because here, I can not only see young people who are fighting for their dreams, but also see old people who still do not change their original aspirations and settle down to read books in their 80s. The beautiful face of the world can be seen in libraries. Zuoanmen Corner Tower is one of the landmarks of Beijing's ancient city. It has witnessed the historical changes of the capital since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has experienced annihilation and rebirth. During the renovation of the old city, while surrounded by modern buildings, the Zuoanmen Corner Tower was not swallowed up, but was reborn. The ancient construction built the natural advantages of this place and achieved the distinctive positioning of the Corner Tower Library.

Who could have guessed that each piece of ancient blue brick is a library covering five thousand years of Chinese civilization and Beijing's characteristic culture? The new use of ancient times has become a good place for people to relax and cultivate their self-cultivation. It has become synonymous with a life attitude and lifestyle. It has slowed down the fast-paced urban life. But it was impossible for me to miss the good time, because it was not open during the epidemic prevention period, so I had to roughly watch it outside, so it was difficult to go in and see the "beauty".

Nowadays, in addition to location and services, looking for a hotel pays more attention to the hotel's appearance. Before going to Beijing, Amway bought the Lijun Hotel. Both the exterior and interior are European style, attracting many girls to check in.

The moment I walked into the hotel, I was attracted by the strong European style of the lobby. I looked up at the hexagonal floors on the roof, which were very grand. Later, I learned that as a reception hotel for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, it received many distinguished guests from home and abroad. I have never advocated poor travel. Traveling itself is a happy thing. If you allow yourself to enjoy a large discount because of poor travel, you will not be worth the gain. Therefore, doing what you can for yourself within your ability is the attitude you should have when traveling.

From the beginning of the lobby, there is a very gorgeous decoration, and the stacked floors form a shocking landscape. Many sculptures and works of art can be found from the beginning of the lobby, adding to the artistic connotation of the hotel. The stairs on both sides of the lobby are one of the most popular check-in points. Compared with the pictures on the Internet, the actual scene is even more beautiful. The second floor is a coffee shop, which is also a photo area for check-in. Photos of the floor and the lobby on the first floor can be taken here.

This time I experienced the Lijun Suite, and there was a work of art at the entrance. In the oversized living room area, sofas, dining tables, and desks are placed very carefully. The living room area alone can capture the feeling of a European court. Whether it is the decoration or every decoration of the room is full of exquisite feeling.

The welcome fruits and considerate little cards when they first arrived made the strangeness of tourists when they first arrived in Beijing disappear. The big bed and large bathtub are what attracts me the most here. The desk, lamp, TV cabinet, and every corner is a good place to take photos. It feels a bit wasteful for a big boy to live in a suite like this.

After a good night's sleep, sleep straight until noon. After tidying up, go directly to the Executive Lounge on the 16th floor to enjoy afternoon tea. The most popular thing about Lijun Hotel is probably afternoon tea. On the executive floor of the 16th floor, you can not only see the Forbidden City, Wangfujing Business District and other places, but you can also enjoy the unique afternoon tea of Lijun Hotel. Every dessert is carefully made and paired with tea. It's so pleasant an afternoon.

Because you live on the executive floor, you can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at the executive lounge. Dining in the hotel is actually not as expensive as imagined, and the dishes are also very exquisite. Both Chinese and foreign dishes can be enjoyed here. This way, you can stay here for a long time even if you don't have to leave the hotel.

It's time to return. The hotel's shuttle service is so thoughtful. You can go directly to the airport when you leave the hotel. I hate that time passes too fast and I haven't had enough of visiting the alleys of old Beijing; I hate that time passes too fast and I haven't eaten enough snacks of old Beijing; I hate that time passes too fast and I haven't learned a sentence or two of authentic Beijing dialect...

Haizi once said: "If I could, I would like to be a person who travels mountains and rivers. I don't care about the past or worry about the future. I'm afraid I won't be able to travel all over the world in my lifetime. That would be my sadness."

This sentence was written in my heart. Life is just a few dozen years, and I try my best to let it bloom, travel through thousands of mountains and rivers, appreciate the various things in the world, and view the customs of the city. I still return as a teenager.
