Forgive the goose for not seeing anything in the world. Ha ha. ?

Hello, Beijing at 14 degrees

Go north from a summer place. The down must be prepared, and long johns must of course be arranged.
A few hours ago, I was still wearing short-sleeved clothes in Guangzhou... I arrived in the big capital soon, and I had to wear a sweater.

"One Prince Gong's Mansion, Half of Qing Dynasty History"

Prince Gong's Mansion

??Prince Gong's Mansion
The largest palace in the Qing Dynasty, it was used as the residence of Heshen and Yonglin successively.
In 1851, Prince Gong Yixin became the owner of the house, hence the name of Prince Gong’s Mansion.

People often say: "
Go to the Forbidden City to feel royal,
To the Great Wall to be domineering,
When you come to Prince Gong's Mansion, you must be blessed.
"
Fu culture can be said to be ubiquitous in the entire Prince Kung Mansion
Prince Gong's Mansion is known as the "Garden of Wanfu".

?Prince Gong's Mansion has three unique features: the back cover building, the western gate, and the big theater building
?Fu character stele: Carved by Emperor Kangxi's pen.

When you come to Prince Gong's Mansion, you can not only enjoy the palace, but also encounter various exhibitions.
We saw an exhibition about Fu culture.

Prince Gong's Mansion

Autumn at Prince Gong’s Mansion. The Ruins of the Old Summer Palace

This year marks the 159th anniversary of the death of the Old Summer Palace.
Bearing in mind the history, our generation strives for self-improvement.

Old Summer Palace

Lotus ice cream, one of the ancient Internet celebrity ice creams. Shenghui 15 oceans. not bad.

Old Summer Palace

Yuanmingyuan Summer Palace

The ancient royal garden in Beijing, formerly known as Qingyi Garden, is located in the western suburbs of Beijing, 15 kilometers away from the urban area, covering an area of about 290 hectares, adjacent to the Old Summer Palace. It is a large-scale landscape garden built on the basis of Kunming Lake and Wanshou Mountain, modeled on Hangzhou West Lake, and drawing on the design techniques of Jiangnan gardens. It is also the most complete preserved royal palace and royal garden, known as the "Royal Garden Museum". , is also a national key tourist attraction.

Summer Palace Beihai Park

Beihai Park

??? Let us swing our oars, and the boat pushes away the waves.
When you come to Beihai Park in the morning, you will find that many uncles and aunts are singing loudly.
It's so nice to change from one song to another.

Beihai Park Forbidden City

Forbidden City

I have read a lot of guides about the Forbidden City before.
For example, how to go shopping is the best.
As we all know, the Forbidden City receives tens of thousands of visitors a day.
To navigate the multitude of tour groups and individual travelers, a planned itinerary is a must.
The Forbidden City is divided into two areas: the Southern Outer Dynasty and the Northern Inner Court.
Generally, it enters from the Meridian Gate and exits from the Shenwu Gate.
When entering the door, enter through the middle door, because the middle door is only for the emperor.

How does the Forbidden City walk through the vast crowds of the Forbidden City and take pictures of concave shapes?

Learned from the experience of others????????????
mark notes here
1?? First of all, early.
Either be the first group of tourists, or later, take pictures of the sunset.
2?? The second is to hide cleverly. Generally, tourists are concentrated in the palaces on the central axis, and there are fewer people in the side halls. You can have more time to pose concave shape.
3?? Wait patiently until the crowd disperses. It's a good time to take pictures.

Forbidden City

???Practical software app???
Play the Forbidden City applet, which contains explanations and various routes, and you can choose different routes according to your preferences.

There are various exhibitions of treasures in the Forbidden City, you can walk and stop slowly and enjoy them.
If you spend one day in the Forbidden City, you can stroll around slowly until the crowd gradually disperses in the afternoon...

Forbidden City

The Forbidden City is the most beautiful, but that touch of Forbidden City red??

Forbidden City

From opening to almost closing
From Calligraphy, Painting, Ceramics, Bronze to Buddha Statues
walking in the imperial city
Shuttle between touches of Forbidden City Red, as if traveling in time and space.
The most beautiful thing is that touch of Forbidden City red.

The Mutianyu Great Wall Tour Delayed by the Forbidden City

Grilled Meat
I don't have much experience, I only know that after a meal, the waiter changed 3 baking trays for us.

Four Seasons Minfu Roast Duck Restaurant

Siji Minfu's Roast Duck
If you want to eat roast duck, you have to come early, otherwise you won't be able to eat it.

Four Seasons Minfu Roast Duck Restaurant

Speaking of the trip delayed by eating, the sister of the tour guide used it as a joke. ?
I booked the 12:00 bus to Mutianyu Great Wall, but I was thinking about the roast duck that I couldn't eat yesterday.
So I got up early and lined up when Siji Minfu just opened. ?
Excited, excited, I finally got in line, and it was still table A01. ?First????
If you come early, you don't have to wait in line, and you can get a seat by the window. A few days ago, there were more than 60 tables waiting in front. You have to wait three hours to eat. ?
I think I can always finish eating before 12 o'clock. Just about to go to checkout at the last minute, the waiter came up and said: soup, for you. ???
Haha, we just said, oh why not change tomorrow, Great Wall. ???
Just for a sip of soup? ?

Xisi Baozipu

Baozi and Fried Liver from Xisi Baozipu
The waiter looked at the two of you: six taels of buns

In the end, I can't finish it...

Xisi Baozipu can’t catch the bus to the Great Wall, so let’s go to the alley

Follow the infinitely small light route from Fuchengmen Inner Street to Jingshan Park, Lu Xun Museum, Miaoying Temple White Pagoda, Buddhist Association Guangji Temple, and then to Jingshan Park to see the panoramic view of the Forbidden City
This Beijing in-depth tour is not bad!!!???

Miaoying Temple White Pagoda

Guangji Temple

Jingshan Park

Walking through the alleys and alleys, you can feel a different kind of Beijing flavor.

Beijing Lu Xun Museum

"In my back garden, I can see two trees outside the wall, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree." -Lu Xun
I went to see the jujube tree today.

Beijing Lu Xun Museum

The Beijing Lu Xun Museum includes the former residence of Lu Xun and the exhibition hall of Lu Xun's life.
The former residence of Lu Xun covers an area of about 400 square meters, with three rooms in the north, three rooms in the south, and two rooms in the east and west rooms. In the courtyard, there are two lilac trees that Lu Xun planted by hand.

Beijing Lu Xun Museum

Beijing Lu Xun Museum is not a hero if you don't go to the Great Wall. I'm a good guy

Mutianyu Great Wall

I chose the Mutianyu Great Wall mainly because of the large number of people on the Badaling Great Wall.
Although the Mutianyu Great Wall is less famous than the Badaling Great Wall. But it is quite famous in foreign countries.

Mutianyu Great Wall is located in Huairou, Beijing. It is a national AAAAA-level scenic spot and enjoys the reputation of "Great Wall, Mutianyu's unique beauty". There are fewer people, and you will find that most of them are crooked nuts.
Because there is no direct public transportation,
Therefore, if you choose a bus from a travel agency, you can go directly to the ticket gate without taking a ferry bus.
I don't like looking at human heads, so I naturally chose Mutianyu.

Mutianyu Great Wall

Mutianyu in history

The Mutianyu Great Wall is 5,400 meters long and is currently the longest Great Wall in China. It was built under the supervision of Zhu Yuanzhang's general Zhongshan Wang Xuda on the site of the Northern Qi Great Wall. It was built in 1368 and is the essence of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty.
It is connected to Gubeikou in the east and Juyongguan in the west. Since ancient times, it has been a military hub for defending the capital. There are famous landscapes such as Zhengguantai, Dajiaolou, Yingfeidaoyang, etc. The wall of the Great Wall remains intact, which better reflects the ancient charm of the Great Wall.

Mutianyu Great Wall

When you come to Mutianyu Great Wall, you will feel extremely comfortable.
Because, the tour groups have all gone to the Badaling Great Wall, and only half-length photos can be taken at the Badaling Great Wall.
At Mutianyu Great Wall, you can shoot whatever you want. Various concave shapes, as you come

Mutianyu Great Wall

According to the tour guide sister, there are three ways to climb the Great Wall??
Hiking/Cable Car/Slide
??Walking is at the foot of the Great Wall - Beacon Tower No. 6
??Beacon Tower 20 is the highest point of the Great Wall, and Haohan Slope is ??Beacon Tower 19-20, 75 degrees to 80 degrees
At this time, you need to use your hands and feet to climb the Great Wall.

Mutianyu Great Wall

We wisely chose the cable car. But because I am afraid of heights, I dare not look down.
??The cable car goes directly to Beacon Tower 14. If you get lost at Beacon Tower 14, you can go to the mountain engraved with: "Loyal to Chairman Mao" and you will go in the direction of Beacon Tower 20.
??Beacon Tower 15 is a classic proposal scene in the If You Are the One movie.

Mutianyu Great Wall

??The slideway is not open when it rains, and it is not open as long as it is exposed to a little rain.
?? Cable car one-way 100 yuan, round-trip 120 yuan.
You can choose a one-way cable car and hike back.
As lazy as I am, I chose the cable car to and fro.

Mutianyu Great Wall

???About arrival???
We chose the shuttle bus of Mu Bus, and the bus took us to the foot of the Great Wall, and booked tickets and cable car tickets in advance.
???The Great Wall after the rain???
When I came to the Great Wall, it started to rain lightly in Beijing.
On the Great Wall, the rain stopped.
I saw the Great Wall in rainy days
I saw the Great Wall on a sunny day
autumn saw
Yellow ginkgo leaves, see
After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late to autumn
Huairou's autumn is particularly obvious.
gorgeous

Mutianyu Great Wall

The Mutianyu Great Wall saw the military parade on TV, and watched the flag-raising ceremony on the spot

I was excited to watch the live broadcast of the military parade. Because seeing that my motherland is getting stronger and stronger, I am proud.
Watch the flag raising on the spot, watch the national flag guards, and move forward in unison, when the national flag is raised in front of you. Excited beyond words.
Confession, my motherland. ??????

Raise the national flag and play the national anthem. so exciting

Tiananmen Square

Watching the raising of the national flag at Tiananmen Square at sunrise has become a great wish of all Chinese people, and it is also a great sight in prosperous China.

Get up at four and go out at half past four. Appeared in Tiananmen Square ten minutes later.
It's really cold in Beijing in the morning, especially after it rained the day before. It seems to be colder.
A down jacket, a sweater. I really regret not wearing an extra pair of long johns and an extra thick coat.

Tiananmen Square

When I met a funny girl during the raising of the national flag, it must be a familiar feeling. Tell me, her father told her not to bring such thick clothes, because it is not cold. ?
I started waiting before 5 o'clock, and the time seemed to be longer in cold weather.

At 6:34, the sun rose and the national flag was raised on time.

?Process: queuing up for security check - occupying a favorable position - raising the flag - leaving the field

??? Tips???
1. Get up early! ! ! Occupy a favorable position.
2. Bring your ID card, because security checks are required.
3. Log in to the "People's Republic of China National Flag Website" to view the flag-raising time

Tiananmen Square ascends the Tiananmen Gate Tower, the grand founding ceremony in history.

Climbing the Tiananmen Gate Tower: 15RMB/person
Tickets can be reserved through the official account of Changyou Park.

Tiananmen Gate Tower is one of the most magnificent gate towers in ancient China. It is located at the northern end of Tiananmen Square in Beijing, the capital of the People's Republic of China. It is the dividing point of the four regions of Dongcheng, Xicheng, Chongwen and Xuanwu. It faces Chang'an Avenue, opposite Tiananmen Square and the Monument to the People's Heroes , Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, the Great Hall of the People, and the National Museum of China have attracted the attention of the world for their outstanding architectural art and special political status. On October 1, 1949, Chairman Mao Zedong solemnly declared here: "The People's Republic of China has been established" and personally raised the first five-star red flag. The pattern of the Tiananmen Gate tower appeared in the national emblem of the People's Republic of China and became a symbol of the People's Republic of China.

You must live in Peking in autumn. what heaven is like,
I don't know, but judging from my life experience,
Autumn in Peking is the paradise of autumn.

last of the last

??Experience a taste of Beijing
? Walking more than ten kilometers every day, I am really worried about my legs.
?I think the imperial capital is really fun.
?? There is also a special mention, every day there is a nostalgic hotel prepared by Wahaha for us, which reminds you of that unreachable childhood. And the white rabbit toffee is delicious?
?? The trip to Beijing is over, and I am still very happy. Full of pride. It turns out that loving one's own country is an innate instinct.
I love you Azhong brother. ??????
Next time, I hope to see the Forbidden City in the snow.
In the end, I decided that in the future travel, if I can take a car, I will not choose to walk. Tired of walking too much?
Bye bye.
