If there is any regret in my heart, it is that I have never been to Beijing.


Drifting north is often said on TV, reflecting the prosperity and busyness of modern cities. Crowds came in the brightly lit city.


Beijing is also a city with a long history. As the capital, it has a strong sense of history. As the capital of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, old Beijing left behind various ancient ruins, alleys and the inheritance of its ancestors.


In Beijing, modern buildings uprooted from highland areas and Tiananmen Square buildings in the center of the city are interspersed and intertwined, giving people a particularly profound visual impact. If you have never been there, I hope you can come to this city one day in the future and experience its ever-changing style.


What is travel? In layman's terms, it means going through a journey to another city or scenic spot to experience the local customs and urban style, experience the local characteristics, and leave you with good memories. A more profound point is probably to broaden your horizons in different places, cleanse your soul, and return to tranquility.


In fact, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than food, food, accommodation, and transportation, which is the so-called transportation, food, accommodation, and attractions.


This is the first time in Beijing, so let me introduce myself to my five-day, four-night tour in Beijing.



A When I first met the Forbidden City, it was antique beyond patriotic feelings




I am in time for the military parade for the 70th anniversary of the National Day, but I don't want to miss the scenery of the Forbidden City. I also want to truly experience the glory of the Forbidden City and the grandeur and majesty of the ancient emperors 'homes. Therefore, the first stop is the Forbidden City.

These three are route maps of the Forbidden City. You can choose one of them. Wumen Gate is the only entrance, Donghua Gate and Shenwu Gate are the exit directions, and the normal route is Shenwu Gate.

It is National Day. Buying tickets in advance and arriving at Tiananmen Square early to enter the Forbidden City still underestimates the people's craze. It takes about an hour to queue up to enter Tiananmen Square. Since you cannot go to the city gate during the National Day, the entrance must enter Zhongshan Park. Keep going to the Wumen Gate. What should be noted here is that during the National Day period, Wumen Subway Station was closed and travel was not allowed.

The shape of the 70th anniversary is very eye-catching. Happy birthday to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the motherland.

In front of the great Tiananmen Square

See? They're all people.

The rare treasures in the Treasure Museum are beautiful

Clock Museum: Clocks can go back to the end, but people can never go back to yesterday.

After coming out of the back garden, we arrived at Shenwu Gate and stopped on the tower. The entire Imperial City came into view. The solemn and sacred Forbidden City was from beginning to end.

The sun was very strong all day and the sky was really foggy. I hope I will have a good blue sky next time I come.

C Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park: A Qing Dynasty royal garden that commemorates history and was destroyed in the war.


Yuanmingyuan is located in the northern part of Haidian District in the western suburbs of Beijing. It is a royal courtyard built with all heart by the emperors of the Five Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. It has been dubbed by the world as "Garden of Thousands of Gardens","Model of World Gardens","Oriental Versailles Palace" and many other good names. Yuanmingyuan consists of Yuanmingyuan, Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden.

Yuanmingyuan, the Royal Imperial Garden, is alive because of water, and lotus flowers on the water are the summer soul of Yuanmingyuan. After decades of operation and construction, today's Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park has a total lotus planting area of more than 1000 acres and nearly 400 varieties.


Yuanmingyuan has been world-renowned for its grand regional scale, outstanding construction skills, exquisite architectural scenes, rich cultural collections and profound national cultural connotations. It is known as "a model of all gardening art" and "Ten Thousand Gardens". Garden ". Unfortunately, this world-famous garden was brutally looted and burned by the Anglo-French coalition forces in October 1860. It went through countless destruction and lootings in the future, and the famous garden of a generation was finally reduced to ruins. After being baptized by blood and fire, Yuanmingyuan is like a history of modern Chinese history, with shocking value. Standing in front of the broken rocks and columns of Xiyang Tower, people seem to have heard the cry of history.


The Dashuifa Site is part of Xiyanglou, European Palaces in Beijing's Yuanmingyuan. The main scenery of the Xiyanglou Scenic Area is the artificial fountain, which is sometimes called the "Water Law". It is characterized by its large number, strong momentum and unique concept. It mainly forms three large-scale fountains, namely, Xie Qiqu, Haiyan Hall and Dashui River. They are quite interesting and are the essence of Chinese and Western cultures. Dashui Law is adjacent to Haiyan Hall in the west. At the intersection of the north and south main axis of Changchun Garden and the east-west axis of Xiyang Tower, it is the most spectacular European fountain landscape in the park. In 1860, when the British and French coalition forces invaded Beijing, they wreaked havoc on Yuanmingyuan. The British army even set fire to it. Today, only a few marble stone pillars of Dashui Law and Yuanying Temple stand there, recording the heinous crimes of the British and French coalition forces destroying Chinese culture.

Qichun Garden, also known as "Wanchun Garden", consists of Bamboo Garden, Hanhui Garden, Xishuang Village, and the northern half of Chunhe Garden. It was once one of the main places where Emperor Jiaqing lived for many years in the Qing Dynasty. After Daoguang, it was mainly used as the garden place for the Empress Dowager and the imperial concubines. There are many small attractions in the park, which is a large collection of small waterscape gardens.

Today, Qichun Garden is the main venue of the annual Lotus Festival in Yuanmingyuan. There are large tracts of lotus flowers planted on the water in the park. In midsummer, lotus flowers are in full bloom, making the entire Qichun Garden colorful. Rowing a cruise ship and walking through lotus leaves is also a good experience.

The scenery in Yuanmingyuan is particularly beautiful after the rain.

Transportation: Tsinghua University is about 500 meters away from the South Gate Exit of Yuanmingyuan. Peking University is ahead of Tsinghua University, which is also very close to the Summer Palace.


E Temple of Heaven: The sun is right, and heaven and things are one


The Temple of Heaven is in the south of Beijing City. It covers an area of approximately 2.73 million square meters. The Temple of Heaven was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420) and was rebuilt during the Qianlong and Guangxu periods of the Qing Dynasty. It was a place for emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties to sacrifice to the emperor and pray for a good harvest of the five grains. The Temple of Heaven is the general term for the two altars of Prayer Valley and Circular Mound. It is surrounded by two altar walls, dividing the altar area into two parts: the inner altar and the outer altar, both of which are round in the south and round in the north.

On the west side of the cypress forest of the Hall of Prayer for Good Years in Tiantan Park is a large clove forest in Beijing. It covers an area of about 6,000 square meters and has more than 200 bushes of clove trees. Every April, the fragrance of flowers strikes people and becomes a highlight of Temple of Heaven Park. The Hall of Prayer for New Year is the central building of the Valley Prayer Altar. It is a wooden structure with round peaks and triple blue glazed tiles with eaves. It is a shrine where the Valley Prayer Ceremony was held in the Qing Dynasty. It is complemented with pure cloves, which has a unique artistic conception.

The Huanqiu Altar Building Complex is located at the southern end of the central axis. It was an altar used by emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties to sacrifice to the Emperor God. North of the Circular Mound Altar is the Imperial Firmament. The Valley Prayer Altar is located at the northern end of the central axis. The main building is the Hall of Prayer for New Year. In the altar, there are also buildings such as the Gate of Prayer for New Year, the Hall of Huangqian, the East and West Auxiliary Halls, the burnt firewood stove, the burial ridge, and the brick gate. The ancillary buildings have 72 consecutive rooms., the god chef, the animal slaughter pavilion, etc. Most of the ancillary buildings of the Circular Mound Altar and the Grain Prayer Altar are in the east. This layout makes the western altar area of the Temple of Heaven open. A palace city surrounded by a city was built in the south of the west gate of the inner altar. It was called the "Zhai Palace". It was a palace where the emperor lived during the "fast" period before offering sacrifices to the temple.


Entering the south gate, there are towering trees on both sides. The trees here are all old trees planted in the Qing Dynasty. When blooming, each tree is of a large scale and has a beautiful tree shape.

Tips: Tickets can be purchased on the Weixin Official Accounts or in line for on-site purchase. This is very important.

Transportation: Get off at the "Tiantan East Gate" Station of Metro Line 5, which is within walking distance; you can also take a bus to the "Tiantan South Gate" Station,"Tiantan North Gate" Station,"Tiantan West Gate" Station and other bus stops.


Eating in Beijing, Nanluogu Lane is crowded with people


Nanluogu Lane is located in the center of Beijing. It is a hutong that combines petty bourgeoisie sentiment and old Beijing charm. It is also one of Beijing's fashion landmarks. There are many literary and artistic specialty shops and a wide variety of snacks here. Young people, especially literary and artistic youth, often regard this as a must-have place to visit Beijing.

The ancient buildings in the old hutongs turn into the hutongs on both sides of the main street. There are many fewer tourists, and the old houses tell the history of old Beijing. Here are Monk Gelin Qin's Mansion in the Qing Dynasty; the former residence of the last queen Wanrong; Keyuan, which imitates Jiangnan garden architectural style, etc.

Transportation: Get off at Nanluogu Lane Station on Metro Lines 6 and 8. Take the bus and get off at Luogu Lane Station.


Eating in Beijing: The special snacks in Huguo Temple are even more refreshingTaste.

Beijing Roast Duck: Cheap Store (a characteristic century-old restaurant)


Donglaishun: When you come to Beijing, you will definitely need hotpot mutton. Let's eat hot pot

Beijing's five-day and four-night tour route:

DAY1: Departure → Hotel check-in → Roast Duck Walk (Visit Yuetan Park)

The 9 a.m. high-speed train departs on time from Hangzhou Railway Station → the destination is Beijing South Railway Station. Arrive at around 3 pm in Beijing City. Take the subway directly from Beijing South Railway Station, transfer to Line 2, get off at Jishuitan Subway Station, and walk 300 rice wine to the hotel. In the evening, I went to Four Seasons Minfu Roast Duck Restaurant (I heard it was an Internet celebrity) for dinner, but it turned out to be extremely crowded. Later, I went to Beijing's time-honored brand Cheap Shop and found that the taste was also good. Recommended.


DAY2: Tiananmen Square → Zhongshan Park → Forbidden City → Donglaishun Hotpot

It's National Day, so you can imagine how many people there are. They just queued up to enter Tiananmen Square for half a day. Then they entered from Zhongshan Park and walked all the way to the Wumen Gate to enter the Forbidden City. Those who purchased tickets in advance only had to use their ID card and swipe it. There are also many people in the Clock Museum and Treasure Museum in the Forbidden City. You need to buy extra tickets, which costs 10 yuan per museum. From entering the Meridian Gate to exiting the Shenwu Gate, it takes at least 5 hours to travel slowly. You can bring food in advance, or you can eat in the Forbidden City, etc. Opposite the Shenwu Gate is Jingshan Park, where you can climb the mountain and overlook the entire scenery.

After coming out of the Forbidden City, I took the bus back to the hotel. After resting, I went to Donglaishun Hotpot. The service attitude was really good, but the price was relatively expensive. Three adults and one child ate more than 600 yuan.


DAY3: Badaling Great Wall → Huguo Temple Pedestrian Street

Originally, I wanted to take the 877 bus to the Great Wall, but I was afraid that there would be no room when I came and I would take care of the children, so I purchased a bus ticket and ticket. During the National Day, traffic was really jammed. Normally, it took an hour and a half to leave at ten o'clock in the morning and arrive at two o'clock in the afternoon. It would be unrealistic to visit the Great Wall for three hours and climb directly up from below. We took the cable car directly to Beiqi and then climbed to Beiba. Many people climbed up along the way and passed Haohanpo.


DAY4: Yuanmingyuan → Tsinghua University, Peking University → Nanluogu Lane

Take the subway directly to Yuanmingyuan. It rained heavily in the morning, but there were still many people. At noon, the rain stopped, and only the remains of the royal garden were left. It looked very silent. Now that a lot of repairs have been made, there are large tracts of lotus flowers, and the scenery is still good. Enter the south gate, exit the south gate, and then walk 500 meters to Tsinghua University. You need to make an appointment in advance to enter, otherwise you can only go to the door to take photos. The same goes for Peking University. The subway station is at the entrance of Peking University. The transportation is really extraordinary.

I went to Nanluogu Lane in the evening and experienced the feeling of the alley. The food was almost the same. I recommended iced gourd.


DAY5: Temple of Heaven → Beijing South Railway Station → Going Home

Today is the last day. Since the bus leaves at 3 p.m., we arranged to go to Tiantan Park in the morning. Today's weather is very good. Temple of Heaven Park is very suitable to visit when the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful. It is beautiful, integrating heaven and everything.

You can take a taxi to Beijing South Railway Station when you come out of the south gate. It only takes about ten minutes. There are many taxis at the door.

Beijing South Railway Station should be relatively small, but there are also many specialty shops to eat, so you can buy and eat whatever you want.


Notes:

1. It is best to choose accommodation in the Second Ring Road, book the hotel in advance, and the price can be selected at the right price. Be sure to choose a place with developed transportation. We stayed near Jishuitan Subway Station. There are supermarkets, shopping malls and buses around it, making travel very convenient.
When traveling in February and October in Beijing, the weather is colder in the morning and evening, so you need to bring a coat.
3. When traveling to Beijing, take the subway to download "Billion Transit", take the bus to download "Beijing Bus", and just swipe the code to get on and off the bus directly. It is very convenient.
4. Tickets purchased in advance for the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in Beijing, and reservations for any other museum science and technology museums need to be made in advance, and no temporary selection is required.


Every trip is actually about letting yourself see places you haven't been to before, feel more culture, and feel the beauty of this world.
