Due to work, the chef stayed in Beijing for half a year. Since I am here, I can't go home empty-handed, so when I have free time on weekends, I always check in with the cook everywhere in Beijing with my camera.

Although half a year may be a long time, there is not so much time to actually go out and visit the site. Now I am going back to Wuhan soon, but I find that I haven't been to many places I want to go yet, leaving me with a lot of regrets. But life is like this. Only when there are flaws is real life. Beijing always has regrets, I will come again in Beijing!

Let's not talk too much, let's put on a big movie first!

Historical monuments that are still beautiful today

1. Forbidden City

Recommendation index: ★★ ★★

Good auction index: ★★ ★★

Fun index: ★★ ★★★

When it comes to Beijing, you can't get around the Forbidden City poi/3474.html. poi/3474.html The Palace Museum is China's largest museum. Not only does it have the largest exhibits in the country, but the Palace Museum complex itself is also a historical treasure.

Of course, when it comes to the Forbidden City, everyone also has worries-there are too many people. The little cook and cook are not freelancers. Naturally, when we can go to the Forbidden City, it is also when the Forbidden City is crowded. Therefore, to make a blockbuster with no one, you not only need the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and tiredness, but also need skills and technology.

One of the most important skills in taking photos in the Forbidden City is to choose the right route and take photos at the wrong peak. Because the most people who go to the Forbidden City are tourist groups, and tourist groups often only visit the central axis, the little chef suggested that everyone temporarily abandon the central axis when there is a lot of people. Take a few steps to the side and you will find that there are a lot fewer people in an instant, and the dense number of people on the central axis will turn into small ants and ignore them.

Of course, it is impossible to really give up the beautiful scenery of the central axis, so as long as you stagger the peak of people, it is still easy to shoot the central axis. Generally speaking, around 3 p.m. is the time for the last wave of tour groups to enter. Therefore, as long as you miss this wave and return to the main axis from north to south, the entire Forbidden City will be your special event.

◆ Shooting near the Hall of Supreme Harmony at 4 p.m., empty and deserted

◆ The central axis in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the only time you can dominate it

Big scenes have the style of big scenes, and small scenes have the exquisiteness of small scenes. At the same time, it takes luck to cover large scenes, but no one in small scenes only needs patience. Due to the narrow range of scenes in small scenes, as long as you wait patiently, you can always wait until there is no one left, creating the illusion that the scene is closed.

▲ The long corridor from the Treasure Hall happens to have two connected doorways of the same size. Is it suitable for taking photos of couples?

► Tired of looking at complete buildings? I only chose to take the door and steps in. Isn't it exquisite and beautiful?

◆ The walls of the Forbidden City are never-going Internet celebrities. Against this pure background, it is really beautiful no matter how you shoot!

The door of the Forbidden City is also a representative background

▲ Find a corridor and take a symmetrical door opening

2. Temple of Heaven

Recommendation index: ★★★★

Good auction index: ★★ ★★

Fun index: ★★★

The Temple of Heaven can be said to be an established tourist attraction in Beijing. Many people even think that it is too old-fashioned and bypass this attraction. But the little cook and cook still insisted on coming and received the beautiful scenery.

◆ It is recommended to bring an ultra-wide angle and tripod. It is unrealistic to leave no one in this kind of large scene, and you need to remove tourists through post-superposition.

◆ Go up two steps, lean on the railing and look into the distance, and take an intimate photo with the Hall of Prayer for New Year.

◆ The platform on the penultimate floor not only has few people, but also can take photos with Huangqian Hall, which is very good.

◆ Climb the Hall of Praying for New Year and take a close-up photo.

The young chef still has some insights and recommendations to everyone for filming the Temple of Heaven. It is best to shoot early or late. Not only will there be fewer people and the weather be cool, but you can also get more layered light. The little cook chose to come in the afternoon when the garden was close to closing. Not only did he avoid the tourists and the devastating summer light, but he also got the scenery of the sun setting west.

PS: The Temple of Heaven is divided into general tickets and set tickets. The core attractions such as the Hall of Prayer for New Year, the Circular Mound Altar, and the Echoing Wall all need to purchase a set ticket. The daily ticket sales deadline for core attractions is 4 pm, and the deadline for visiting core attractions is 6 pm. So don't miss the time by waiting for the sun to set down.

3. Summer Palace

Recommendation index: ★★★

Good auction index: ★★★

Fun index: ★★★

Between the Summer Palace and Yuanmingyuan, the chef chose the Summer Palace, but he was inevitably a little disappointed after this trip. The reason for this was largely because it was so hot that day. The cook and I entered from the north gate and climbed the mountain all the way. It was so hot that we lost a lot of our interest in having fun. I suggest you go again in spring or autumn.

Among the major features of the Summer Palace, the corridor is one of its features, which is also an important reason why the little chef comes to the Summer Palace.

The corridor has a main corridor and a side corridor. If there are too many people in the main corridor, there will be fewer people in the side corridor.

The main corridor is close to Kunming Lake, allowing you to overlook the lake and cruise ships, and it also has a unique artistic conception.

Of course, the strange scene of golden light piercing through the Seventeen-Arch Bridge in the Summer Palace is also a scene that many photography enthusiasts are chasing after. It's just that day that the cook and I were so hot that we couldn't watch it. Let's put a beautiful picture on the Internet to seduce everyone.

Those interesting and easy to shoot museums/galleries

1. Red Brick Art Museum

Recommendation index: ★★ ★★

Good auction index: ★★ ★★

Fun index: ★★★★★★★★ ★ ★

Address: 100 meters west of the intersection of Maquanying West Road, Shunbai Road, Hegezhuang Village, Cuigezhuang Township, Chaoyang District, Beijing City

Transportation: (Metro) Exit B of Maquanying Station, Line 15;(Bus) No. 944 Hegezhuang Station, No. 988 Xiangjiang North Road West Exit Station.

poi/9597016.html The Red Brick Art Museum is a long-cherished shooting place for the little cook, and it is also the first place where the little cook and her cook check in Beijing. As a new Internet celebrity check-in place, poi/9597016.html Red Brick Art Museum is full of characteristics. Various shapes made of red square bricks are the best choice for concave shapes. The circular patio in the main hall and the perfect perspective effect of Balian Cave are even more famous.

► poi/9597016.html The Red Brick Art Museum enters the patio, and the upper and lower floors complement each other in the form of concentric circles. The little chef was fascinated at first sight when he saw it online. The movie "Sewing Machine Band" was once filmed here, so he had to check in.

Hanging in the center of the patio is the "Lost Compass", one of the works of the "Road Hidden and Unknown" exhibition. A weathered driftwood is surrounded by a frame made of thin steel rods with small cylindrical magnets on them.

◆ Round is the basic shape of the Red Brick Art Museum. In addition to the round patio shown above, there are countless round porches. Among them, the most famous one should be the Balian Cave in the picture below. The eight brick round holes form a perfect perspective effect, and many stars check in here.

{data:{has_more:true,html:

Although it is an art museum, it actually covers a large area. There are bridges and lakes inside. Look at this porous bridge, it was ruined by the cook.

Other places in the Red Brick Art Museum:

When the little cook went there, he happened to meet Olavil Eliasson holding the largest solo exhibition in China so far at the Red Brick Art Museum-Olavil Eliasson: The road is unknown, and the ticket price of the art museum has increased to 160! It's really beautiful, and it's also suitable for taking photos. It's worth the trip.

The picture below shows the first work in the exhibition,"Yellow Sun". The huge light and rings shine on you like a giant sun. Doesn't this photo of the little chef look a little artistic?

◆ This is another work,"Aggregate Rainbow". The colors that appear on the soft water curtain are very dreamy and confusing. There is a tip when taking photos. Let the model stand outside the water curtain and the photographer walk inside the water curtain. This will not only avoid the tourists taking photos, but also make the color of the rainbow more prominent.

2. China Railway Museum (Dongjiao Museum)

Recommendation index: ★★★★★★ ★ ★

Good auction index: ★★★★★★★ ★ ★

Fun index: ★★★★★★★★ ★ ★

Address: No. 1, Jiuxianqiao North Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing City

China Railway Museum is the only national-level professional railway museum in China. It is divided into three halls, namely Zhengyangmen Hall, Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall and Dongjiao Hall. The little chef only recommended the Eastern Suburb Pavilion, not only because of its large train collection, but also because it not only has indoor exhibition halls, but also outdoor attractions, making it very suitable for taking photos.

The Dongjiao Pavilion is located at Jiuxian Bridge in Chaoyang. It mainly displays locomotives and rolling stock, with a total of more than 50 locomotives on display. It tells us a true story of the development history of the railway, just like a picture of China's prosperity from backwardness to today's microcosm.

Among them, the most famous are the No. 0 steam locomotive, which is the treasure of the town, and the Mao Zedong and Zhu De, which are named after great men.

I couldn't see it from a distance, but when I took a closer look, I realized that the steam train was so tall, and the wheels were even as tall as people.

At the end of the journey, there are also locomotives, and you can also have close contact with cute locomotives.

This design is much more beautiful than the high-speed trains carved from the same mold today.

Outside the indoor exhibition hall, there are more to visit. On the left side, there is an old station-Shidai Station.

The trains here don't have so many scruples and can have intimate contact at will.

Especially locomotives, you can climb on them, which is difficult to experience elsewhere.

3. China Oil Painting Academy

Recommendation index: ★★★★★ ★ ★

Good auction index: ★★ ★★

Fun index: ★★

The China Oil Painting Academy was originally a national-level art institution integrating oil painting creation, research and teaching. However, due to its tall architectural characteristics, it has become an important Internet celebrity shooting location.

The auditorium of the Oil Painting Academy often holds some art exhibitions, press conferences, etc., and the stairs in front of the door are often paved with red carpets. It's a pity that we had no activity when we went and it was bare, otherwise we could experience the feeling of a star.

The stairs in front of the auditorium are very advanced, and there are many art schools or models coming to take photos.

It is best to wear simple and high-end clothes when shooting here, which will be more outstanding. Grab a handbag and walk like a star on a runway.

4. Fangyuan Art Museum

Recommendation index: ★★★

Good auction index: ★★

Fun index: ★★★

798 has various art galleries, and countless exhibitions are on display and curtain calls every day. This exhibition is one of the few exhibition halls that is free of charge.

Although it is free, the quality is still good. Therefore, although he is not very famous, the chef still recommends it to everyone. Even in the summer, it is excellent to enjoy the shade

There is such a beautiful church in Beijing

1. Sishiku Church

Recommendation index: ★★★★

Good auction index: ★★ ★★

Fun index: ★★★★

Address: 33 Xishiku Street, Beijing.

Sishiku Church, originally known as the Savior Church, is commonly known as the North Church. Opened in 1703, it has long served as the cathedral of the Catholic Diocese of Beijing and is one of the largest and oldest churches in Beijing.

It has been under renovation since last year and finally opened this year. It was really fun for the little chef to visit before returning to Wuhan.

◆ As soon as the humble door enters, a straight avenue leads the church into view. Using the medium and telephoto focal length can instantly bring the church closer and make it magnificent.

◆ The appearance of the church is still very distinctive, and it can be said to be a combination of Chinese and Western. There are actually two Chinese-style pavilions on both sides of the Western-style church. The contrast between Chinese and Western art is very strong.

It was quite shocking to walk into the church. Such a church is very beautiful in China. Such a clean roof is also very distinctive and relatively rare.

◆ Colorful windows of the church. Every time you visit the church, you must admire the colored windows. Different colored glass draws Bible mythological stories, which has a unique beauty.

The atmosphere of the church is very quiet, which makes people's hearts calm down at once.

► The icon of Jesus

When we went out, we found that the door was closed. I don't know if it was due to some activity or if we just happened to catch it, but in short, we felt lucky that we didn't come in vain.

2. Catholic Church of the Holy Garment

Recommendation index: ★★★

Good auction index: ★★★

Fun index: ★ ★

Address: No. 130, Xizhimennei Street, Xicheng District, Beijing City.

The Catholic Church of the Holy Garment of Our Lady, also known as poi/6635.html Xizhimen Catholic Church, commonly known as Xitang, is one of the four major Catholic churches in Beijing. It is also the shortest and smallest among the four major Catholic churches in Beijing. It is also the only one among the four major Catholic churches that was not built by Jesuits.

To be honest, we went to this transportation church completely by accident. It was not on the destination list before, mainly because it was very close to the hotel we stayed in. I happened to pass by and walked in to have a look. It was a coincidence.

◆ From the perspective of architectural style, the general interior is very similar to poi/5893.html Sishku Church (North Church), which can be said to be a mini version of the North Church.

The wedding had just been held here, and the candles and flower balls had not yet been removed, so we quickly took the opportunity to take a wave of photos.

Wedding photos were still taking outside, so I was too embarrassed to take the front, so I could only take a crooked picture and go here.

Overall, Xitang is a reduced version of Beitang, and it should be more commercial. I don't know what the other two churches are like, but I have to check in and complete them when I have the opportunity.

Don't miss those interesting shops

1. Goodone Old Goods Warehouse (Beijing Warehouse)

Recommendation index: ★★★★

Good auction index: ★★ ★★

Fun index: ★★★★

Address: No. 2F-B-22 -35, World Zhihua Holiday Plaza, Jiujingzhuang Road, Jiugong Town, Daxing District, Beijing City

Goodone Old Warehouse became popular in Xiamen, and now it has finally settled in Beijing from north and south. There are all kinds of fine old objects inside, which is fun and easy to shoot.

Do you still remember the snowman ice cream from the old grocery store? It used to be 50 cents and now it's 2.50 yuan. The poster of Chairman Zhou Pepsi in the lower right corner is really lit up!!

Walking inside, you accidentally became a grocery store owner. Lady boss, bring a dozen pots and pans, pack them and take them away ~

The old boxes on the wall are all solid wood, which is honest and honest.

Want to know about the soda of the Second Factory? The smell of orange in old Wuhan

The old refrigerator is so cute

Those old objects always evoke childhood memories. Of course, if you know too much, you will expose your age ~

2. Starbucks Select Beijing Square flagship store

Recommendation index: ★★★★

Good auction index: ★★ ★★

Fun index: ★★ ★

Address: Building 3, No. 13, Headline Building, Meishi Street, Xicheng District, Beijing City.

It opened on June 29 this year, and the flagship store of Starbucks Zhenxuan Poi/23101787.html Beijing Square officially opened at Poi/23101787.html Beijing Square. This Starbucks is said to be China's first multi-experience flagship store.

The store is large and divided into three floors. It was very popular. We didn't go before 10 o'clock, but we were already full. Starbucks on three floors sells different things on each floor. The first floor sells traditional coffee and Starbucks peripheral products.

◆ Tea is sold on the second floor, but unfortunately there are no seats on the second floor, so I didn't experience Starbucks tea.

◆ The connecting staircase between the two floors is also relatively easy to shoot.

▲ Starbucks sells special tunes (cocktails) on the third floor. This is probably the first Starbucks in China to sell alcohol!

The two of us ordered Melrose, which tasted good!

Cheese bread bars with brie cheese, green olives, served on a large plate, and coffee. I don't know who is the main course

3. Page One (Beijing Square Store)

Recommendation index: ★★★★★ ★ ★

Good auction index: ★★ ★

Fun index: ★★ ★

Address: No. 21, Langfang Tiantou, Xicheng District, Beijing City.

PageOne (poi/23101787.html Beijing Square Store), also known as the former store, is a very distinctive bookstore in Beijing. It is open 24 hours a day and its biggest feature is the large black bookshelf.

The bookstore is divided into three floors. The first and second floors are mainly black bookshelves. When you reach the third floor, your eyes shine and turn into white bookshelves, which are particularly bright.

There is also a huge floor-to-ceiling window upstairs, facing the front gate building, with a wide view and very atmospheric.

PS: The bookstore seems to have strict restrictions on taking photos, and it is not allowed to use a camera to take photos, so the kitchen can only use my mobile phone to take pictures here.

4. Beijing Square

Recommendation index: ★★★★

Good auction index: ★★ ★

Fun index: ★★★★

It was a big surprise to discover Beijing Square. This place, which has just opened for a while, really has many surprises. PageOne and Starbucks Selection Store are all located here. There are also a number of delicious places such as Chaqi. It is also close to Qianmen and has convenient transportation. You can do whatever you want.

In addition to the above, Beijing Square itself is also a place with a good license. Many buildings are very distinctive.

At the same time, it is also a place for art. Do you think this graffiti wall is fashionable?

5. That small restaurant

Recommendation index: ★★★★

Good auction index: ★★ ★

Delicious index: ★★★★

Why not eat authentic Beijing food when you come to Beijing? I accidentally tried that small restaurant and it was very good. The small restaurant's imitation Qing-style decoration, simple and elegant tables, chairs, and tableware give people a feeling of traveling through.

► Tremella pear soup tastes really good

○ Shining mashed potatoes have a delicate taste

▲ Radish skin mixed with jellyfish, crisp and refreshing

► Crispy prawns, I highly recommend this dish. The shrimp meat is full of Q bombs, the meat is full and fried just right. Every plate is eaten up!

There are a lot of other things

1. First of all, Amway has an exhibition-Saint Seiya Exhibition

"Thirty Years of Saint Seiya Theme Exhibition"

Recommendation index: ★★ ★★

Good auction index: ★★ ★★

Fun index: ★★ ★★★

Address: 1F, Joy City, Chaoyang, Beijing.

Tickets: 80/1, 150/2

Deadline: October 7

Saint Seiya is a childhood memory and a boy's romance. Girls, don't ask me what's so fun about this. Five stars for psychological empowerment. Why would you bring a date with you? Take pictures! It's okay if you have good gay friends.

◆ A collection of the five invincible strong dragons, the ancestor of the protagonist's halo. The cook asked me what "Saint Seiya" was about. In a word, it was the story of a group of lowest-level but indestructible Saint Seiya who persevered in saving the goddess Athena who was constantly being kidnapped.

○ Diamond Star Fist

○ Nebula Chain

► Lushan Mountain Dragon Tyrant

It is worthy of a 1:1 body size, and the shape is still very good. Although there is a slight shortcoming in not making the face, the shine on the holy robe is still very dazzling.

Shooters are loved in cartoons, and this set of sacred garments played an important role in the Sea Fighter Collection.

► Oops, I am frozen by absolute zero!

▲ Pisces, there are roses everywhere!

I took a group photo on the Qixi Festival by the way, saving money

◆ Virgo, a man who needs to be described as beautiful, but unfortunately he can't see his face.

▲ A photo of the cook sitting on the throne. It would be perfect if you had another Athena scepter!

2. Bird's Nest, Water Cube

Recommendation index: ★★★★★ ★ ★

Good auction index: ★★ ★

Fun index: ★★★

Unless you want to go in and play, the Bird's Nest poi/10124.html Water Cube is still recommended to visit it at night. The Bird's Nest can take pictures of reflections on the water, and poi/10124.html Water Cube will be lit up at night.

◆ The bird's nest in the reflection is extremely enchanting.

◆ I went there on weekdays. It is said that it will be more beautiful and the colors will become colorful when I go there on weekends.

3. National Center for the Performing Arts

Recommendation index: ★★★★★ ★ ★

Good auction index: ★★ ★

Fun index: ★★★

I have two regrets at the National Center for the Performing Arts. One is that I didn't capture the dome with the reflection on the water, and the other is that I didn't watch a performance inside.

Shooting the National Center for the Performing Arts at night is still a little technical barrier, at least using a tripod to take a long exposure. In order to avoid internal overexposure, HDR synthesis is also used, which makes the effect better.

No matter how good the skills are, bad luck is in vain

4. Tiananmen Square

Recommendation index: ★★

Good auction index: ★★

Fun index: ★★

I love Tiananmen Square in Beijing. The sun rises on Tiananmen Square ~~ It's a song I've been singing since I was a child. I naturally want to go and see it when I come to Beijing. One night, I wandered by after work, thinking that there was no one, but I was surprised. Not only is there a security check required, but there are also many people. I had no choice but to squeeze into the innermost area to take a panoramic photo.

PostScript

I finally finished writing it. I finally recorded my check-in life in Beijing for the past six months. It would be even better if it could help you come to Beijing to play.

I still have many regrets in my half-year trip to Beijing. There are always regrets in Beijing. I will come again in Beijing. See you in Beijing!
