Beijing, the capital city and the country's political, economic and cultural center, has gradually added another name to itself with the development of the times: the new favorite of tourism. Various scenic spots, historic sites and historical sites are attracting people. Faced with such rich tourism resources, how can we make our trip worthwhile? Listen to me slowly!

Accommodation: Weiming Courtyard Hotel

Comments: It is recommended to live near Nanluogu Lane Station, inside the Second Ring Road, which is very close to various attractions in Beijing. Nanluogu Lane is also a well-known attraction in Beijing. Living in the attractions is very convenient to eat, drink and have fun. It is relatively quiet and you can experience old Beijing culture.






1. Forbidden City

Going to Beijing, the Forbidden City is one of the most important attractions that cannot be missed. The red walls and green tiles are majestic. Walking on the palace roads of the Forbidden City, you feel like becoming a member of the Qing Dynasty opera of the Ming Dynasty, confused and yearning for the road ahead.

In recent years, the Forbidden City has been modernized, and various exquisite or cute Internet celebrity items have been on sale, bringing the Forbidden City's reputation to a new level. During holidays, the flow of people is huge. So, how should we avoid strong people in normal times?
1. Morning. Early! Go to the queue before the park opens, and you will see a cleaner and more spectacular palace. The early bird gets the worm to eat, the early tourist gets the scenery to see, and the future is built by yourself!
2. Late. It's late! You can go around 2:30 in the afternoon, because most tourists are inside the palace by then, and you can leisurely enjoy the glory of the three halls!

2. The Great Wall

The Great Wall, one of the Eight Wonders of the World, a historical miracle that can be clearly seen even on satellites. After thousands of years of repair and reinforcement, it has gradually become the spectacular sight today. It demonstrates the wisdom and painstaking efforts of the Chinese nation, built with stone bricks. What is blocked is the ambition of the wolf, and what is protected is the people of the country and the country.

Every Chinese person wants to leave a footprint on the Great Wall. I believe the grand occasion of holidays is obvious to everyone. If you want to win a place for yourself among thousands of troops, I can only say: Good luck! Of course, diverting the peak period is the best choice!

Opening Hours:
Peak season: 6:30-17:30, off-season: 7:30-16:30

3. Tiananmen Square

Tiananmen Square is located on the south side of Chang 'an Street, bringing together various heroic scenes, such as the Monument to the People's Heroes, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, the Great Hall of the People, the National Museum, etc. If you want to remember heroes and recall the revolution, Tiananmen Square is a great attraction. Of course, visiting Tiananmen Gate once will also be our "Lifetime" series.

If you want to see the flag raising, please remember that this is a note:
1. Get up early, two hours in advance is best;
2. The time for raising the national flag will constantly change with the time of sunrise. Remember to check the flag raising time in advance.

For the royal gardens, just look at the Summer Palace. It is divided into three parts in total: Wanshou Qianshan, Kunming Lake, and Houshan Houhu Lake. As a royal building specially built for the Empress Dowager Cixi, the Summer Palace is suitable for all seasons. It is a beautiful place to see flowers in spring, enjoy lotus in summer, boating in autumn, playing with snow in winter, and the nine-bend corridors. It is carefully carved. The exquisiteness of Han white jade is fully exerted in this garden. It is a good place to play.

The Summer Palace is the largest existing royal garden in China. It has many scenic spots and a very quiet environment. It is also one of the places suitable for the elderly to play.

5. Temple of Heaven

As one of the world's cultural heritages, the Temple of Heaven was built during the Yongle Period of the Ming Dynasty. It is the general name for the two altars of Huanqiu and Prayer Valley, and can be divided into inner and outer altars. Located on the east side of Yongdingmennei Street in Dongcheng Area, Beijing, it is an important place for emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties to pray for heaven and pray for the prosperity of the country and a bumper harvest of grain.

The Temple of Heaven gave the ancients the traditional understanding that the sky is round and the earth is square. It has a strong ancient royal atmosphere, is majestic and solemn, and has a high status. It is also an important symbol of spiritual civilization for the feudal royal family and an important research place for ancient Chinese imperial culture. In addition, there are some urban legends about the Echo Wall in Temple of Heaven Park. Interested friends can learn about it for themselves.
