August 16th is a day worth looking forward to. On that day, I will go to Beijing to participate in the KODU National Competition. The day before the departure, I dreamed that because my KODU work was so good, when I arrived at the competition site, other contestants would say "Wow!!!". But I was woken up by my mother before I could dream what was going to happen next. I looked out the window, it was still dark outside, but since we had to get to the airport before 8:30, we had to get up very early.
By the time we got dressed, it was already six o'clock, so we quickly went downstairs to the sausage noodle shop downstairs. The rice rolls at home are very delicious. Their flour is very finely ground. When the rice rolls enter the mouth, they are like water, flowing from the throat to the stomach. As long as this rice roll is sucked lightly, it will be eaten up.
After breakfast, we took a taxi at the intersection of the road. After waiting for a long time, the car finally arrived.
When we arrived at the Capital Airport, we met with the teacher and the others immediately, so I went to pick up the ticket again. Through my understanding, I roughly knew the process and precautions of taking the plane. We boarded the plane and I was a little nervous at first, but it gradually went away. The plane took off immediately and I fell asleep. When I opened my eyes for the first time, we were almost at the Capital Airport, and the time was just in time for lunch. After lunch, the plane was about to land. I saw the plane circle the Capital Airport a few times, and I could see the whole of Beijing from the plane.
Arrived at Beijing Capital Airport, we went to take a car to our Qihang International Hotel.
After we signed in, we were ready to go to Tiananmen Square. Before I came to Tiananmen Square, I collected a lot of information. I know: Tiananmen Square has recorded the indomitable revolutionary spirit and fearless heroism of the Chinese people. China's modern revolutionary history has left a strong color, and it is also the place where countless major political and historical events took place, and it is the historical witness of China's decline and rise.
Then we came to Dashilan. There are many delicious foods in Dashilan, including Internet celebrity Coke and lamb skewers, but we only ate lamb skewers, but this lamb skewers seemed fake and not delicious at all, but The jajangmyeon there is ok.
We got up very early the next day, and I just wanted to say a word: "Let people live!!". After breakfast, we took a familiar vehicle and came to the National Zoological Museum. I have known the National Zoological Museum before. The National Zoological Museum is recognized by the world as the largest animal in Asia with the highest research level and the strongest comprehensive strength. The System Classification and Evolution Research Center also draws on the theme display method of modern museums, adopts multidisciplinary knowledge such as natural sciences and humanities to embody themes, and introduces high-tech audio-visual facilities such as 4D dynamic theaters to make profound scientific philosophy more approachable . Opened in 2009, it holds a wildlife photography exhibition. The exhibition is divided into three parts: birds, insects and African wild animals. It has become a grand event for photography lovers in Beijing.
In the museum, most of them are butterfly specimens. Some of these butterfly specimens are very small and some are relatively large. Although we didn't learn anything in it, I was still very happy.
At noon, the food we ate was a hundred times more delicious than the food in the hotel. My request is very simple, as long as the food is clean and delicious. I think it would be nice to have an extra steak or porterhouse.
After a satisfying lunch, we came to Le Duo Port Fantasy Park again. I heard other members say that they were going to ride a roller coaster. When I heard it, I shuddered. I started to fantasize about sliding down from such a high place, thinking It's scary to think about it. We also played cross-domain Great Wall, escape room and so on.
In the evening we are actively preparing for the game tomorrow. While we are actively preparing for the war, the moon is also cheering us up, and this ancient Beijing city has fallen into a deep sleep again...
In the morning, because I ate more than 20 watermelons, my stomach started to growl. After eating the watermelon, we came to the Microsoft Building. The Microsoft Building is very tall, directly into the sky. We came to the scene of the game. There are two rows of the game site, and the whole room looks like two rooms are connected. We are all sitting in the first row, and we are all behind, so we listen to other people's works for a period of time in the front. I think other people’s works are not as good as ours, especially Heilongjiang’s. Their story backgrounds are almost the same. They are all about aliens invading the earth. They litter and destroy the environment. KODU wants to defeat them and teach the citizens How to sort garbage, so I don’t think they have any innovation or gameplay. Isn’t it just picking up garbage and throwing it into the trash can? It’s not fun at all. They are just a little better than us in speech.
I waited for almost two hours before I arrived, I got on the stage first, prepared everything, and then I started my speech, it was okay at first, but there was a problem with the computer, which made my language start to be a little confused, But then I tweaked it a bit. For the president, the speech went well.
Then, it was time for lunch. I thought that Microsoft is very rich, and there is steak in the fast food. Since I eat fast, I finished eating right away. When I came to the teacher, I saw that Teacher Wang was also here. , Teacher Wang is the teacher who taught me Python programming in Minecraft before. The teacher told me some life philosophies, and then he went to work on some things.
After everyone else had finished eating, we went to play at the back door of Microsoft. Before we had played enough, it was time to listen to the lecture. The teacher talked about how to win other excellent entries and how to get started with Micro:bit.
It was the award ceremony, but I was the second prize, and I was only one film away from the first prize. Although I didn't get the top ten, I still gained a lot. I will study hard in the future, and at the same time, I must cherish the environment, protect the environment, and not litter. Back at the hotel, Mr. Wang called my dad. He kept encouraging me so that I would not be sad because of this competition, because his words made me understand not to give up when encountering setbacks, but to move forward bravely. That's the way to win. Through this Beijing summer camp, I realized that success requires hard work. In the future, I will work harder to learn all kinds of knowledge, not only in computer, but also in various aspects to achieve perfect results.
On this day, we will be separated from other members, and we will go to another place - Mutianyu Great Wall. I also know some information about the Mutianyu Great Wall: The Mutianyu Great Wall in Beijing is located in Huairou District, Beijing, 73 kilometers away from the urban area of Beijing. It has a long history and splendid culture, and enjoys the reputation of "the Great Wall, Mutianyu's unique beauty" both at home and abroad. There are many mountains in the scenic area, and the vegetation coverage rate is over 90%. With a total length of 5,400 meters, the Great Wall is currently the longest in China and one of the famous sixteen scenic spots in Beijing, a national AAAAA-level tourist area. The Mutianyu Great Wall was built in 1368 by Zhu Yuanzhang's general Xu Da on the ruins of the Northern Qi Great Wall. It is the essence of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. This section of the Great Wall is connected to Gubeikou in the east and Juyongguan in the west. Since ancient times, it has been a military hub defending Gyeonggi. There are famous landscapes such as Zhengguantai, Dajiaolou, and Eagle Flying Upward. The walls of the Great Wall remain intact, which better reflects the ancient charm of the Great Wall. . When we had traveled more than 20 kilometers by car, we got off the car and took a rest.
We first queued there for an hour and a half before we could take the cable car and come to the Great Wall.
I think the Great Wall is so spectacular. It was built on such a high and trembling mountain. After walking for a while, we didn't want to go, so we took the cable car down the mountain.
But I checked later, we only need to go a little further to get to the most beautiful scenery, and I also saw that the slide is not terrible, but also very fun, this time is really a pity.
We then went to the Shinto in the Ming Tombs, the Shinto is the Changling Shinto. Because the Shinto of each mausoleum is separated from this way, it is also called the total Shinto. The construction of its tomb ceremony began in the tenth year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (AD 1435), and was added in the nineteenth year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (AD 1540). The stone archway, Dahongmen (horse steles are erected on the left and right), Changling's stele pavilion of divine merits and virtues, stone statues, Longfengmen, Wukong bridge, Qikong bridge and other buildings are arranged in order from south to north, with a magnificent momentum. Among them, the Changling Mausoleum’s Stele Pavilion, Stone Statues, and Dragon and Phoenix Gate are the core buildings of Shinto. The stone carvings are solemn and integrated with the solemn commemorative atmosphere of the mausoleum, reaching a very high artistic level.
We saw stone lions inside, and the stone lions sat in two and stood in two (the former sat and the latter stood). Because of its flexible and ferocious nature, lions can subdue beasts and show their majesty. The two sitting lions are 1.88 meters high, 2.1 meters long, and 0.92 meters wide; the standing lions are 1.93 meters high, 2.5 meters long, and 0.78 meters wide.
Then we came to Dingling. Dingling is the mausoleum of Emperor Wanli and Empress of Ming Dynasty. It is one of the thirteen imperial tombs of Ming Dynasty in Beijing that has been excavated. Dingling started construction in the 12th year of Wanli (1584), and it took 6 years to complete, consuming a total of 8 million taels of silver. The emperor was only 28 years old when the mausoleum was built, and it was not officially opened until 1620. The mausoleum has been idle for 30 years. Dingling has become one of the three largest cemeteries in the Ming Tombs (Chengzu Changling, Sejong Yongling, Shenzong Dingling). It was built exactly like the Yongling Tomb of his grandfather Sejong. Its ground buildings occupy a total of 180,000 square meters, with three spacious courtyards in front and a tall treasure city in the back. In front of the main gate of the mausoleum is the white marble bridge of the three soldiers. After crossing the bridge is a tall stele pavilion. Around the pavilion, there are more than 300 buildings such as the Temple and Sacrifice Office, the Sacrifice Pavilion, and the Dingling Supervisor. Then there is the outermost wall of the cemetery - Wailuo City (the wall outside the wall started from Ming Shizong, because Ming Shenzong imitated Shizong when he built the mausoleum, so there is a Wailuo wall).
We ate a little at night and went to sleep.
On the fifth day we went to the Forbidden City, I was very happy, but the weather was not happy at all, it was raining all the time, so my mother was afraid that I would be cold, so she went to the mall to buy some clothes for me, but we got up early, and the shops were full The door was not opened, so my mother asked the old man passing by, and the old man said it was too early, and no store was open, and then she said: "If I am cold, then your clothes will not be able to wear it." So I think Beijingers talk like cross talks.
We came to the entrance of the Palace Museum, and I saw a sign that said: The Palace Museum is a national large-scale comprehensive museum built on the basis of the Forbidden City, the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Palace Museum showcases the long and splendid Chinese civilization to the public through the majestic Ming and Qing royal buildings, the original display of Ming and Qing palace historical sites, the display of ancient Chinese calligraphy and paintings, bronzes, ceramics, treasures, clocks and other art collections, and special exhibitions. The Forbidden City was first built in the fifth year of Mingle (1407) and completed in the eighteenth year of Mingle (1420). It covers an area of about 780,000 square meters, with an existing building area of about 160,000 square meters and more than 8,700 houses. It is surrounded by a city wall with a wall of 52 meters and a moat with a width of 52 meters. The Forbidden City is the largest and most complete ancient palace complex in China. The Forbidden City is divided into two parts: the Outer Dynasty and the Inner Court. The Outer Dynasty is dominated by the main halls of the three dynasties, namely the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony. The Wenhua Hall and the Hall of Wuying are the two wings. The Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, and Kunning Palace are the main body, and the East and West Sixth Palaces are the two wings. It is the place where the emperor handles daily government affairs and lives for the emperor and his concubines. In addition, it also includes the Taishanghuang Palace on Waidong Road, Nansan where the prince lived, and the Empress Dowager's Palace on Waixi Road. After the completion of the Forbidden City, four emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties lived here successively. After the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the Qing Dynasty, the history of the Forbidden City as a feudal palace ended, but the emperor Puyi and the royal family still lived in the inner court. In 1914, the outer part of the Forbidden City was turned into an "Antiquities Exhibition Hall", which was opened to the public. In 1924, Emperor Xun Puyi moved out of the Forbidden City. In 1925, the inner court part was established as the "Palace Museum". In 1948, the "Antiquities Exhibition Center" and the "Palace Museum" merged, collectively referred to as the "Palace Museum". In 196, the Palace Museum was promulgated by the State Council as the first batch of "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units". In 1987, the Palace Museum was included in the "World Heritage List" by UNESCO.
I also heard from the tour guide that the top is north, and the north is cold, so the north represents water, and the south is hot, representing fire. There is a green house in the east, which is the place where the emperor raised boys, so the east is wood. To the west is the place where the emperor raised the girl, and the girl will become Miss Qianjin when she grows up, so the west is Jin. In the middle is the earth character of the trip to the Hall of Preservation and the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so the middle is earth.
We first came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Hall of Preserving Harmony, then went to the Clock and Watch Museum, then returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and finally came to the Imperial Garden.
Coming out of the Forbidden City, we didn't go to Jingshan Park because we were too tired. My dad told me before coming to Beihai Park that this place was originally the Liao, Jin and Yuan Jianli palaces, and it was established as the imperial palace in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the oldest, most complete, most comprehensive and representative royal palace in China. One of the gardens. I heard that the pagoda on the top of the mountain is called the White Pagoda, and inside the White Pagoda is the Buddha's real body relic, but I have to climb the stairs, which are very high, and it took me a long time to climb to the top of the White Pagoda.
In the evening, we ate roast beef and drank Beijing's special drink - Arctic Ocean. But the beef and pork here are too unpalatable, it feels like fake, we can only eat hard, but the cold noodles here are okay. Although it is unpalatable and tastes bad here, as long as you don’t have diarrhea, it’s fine.
On the last day we went to the Summer Palace. The Summer Palace is very large. The Summer Palace is a royal garden during the Qing Dynasty in China. It was formerly known as Qingyi Garden. It 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". . We first crossed Kunming Lake by boat. The boat traveled very fast, and we arrived at the other side in less than a while. You can see the entire Summer Palace on the boat, and there are some waves from time to time. It is a great joy in life to feel cool on the lake on such a hot day. We came to the big dock, then came to the famous half-walled bridge, and we also came to Qingyan boat, the upper cabin of the boat was originally an ancient architectural form. But when the British and French allied forces invaded, the Chinese-style cabins on the boat were burned down. In the nineteenth year of Guangxu (1893), according to Cixi's intention, the original Chinese-style cabin was converted into a Western-style cabin.
After we finished watching the stone boat, we came to the promenade again. We walked along the promenade until we reached the Qiushui Pavilion, then changed direction and prepared to go to the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion.
Foxiang Pavilion is built on a 20-meter-high square platform in front of Wanshou Mountain. It faces Kunming Lake in the south and backs to the Sea of Wisdom. The buildings centered on it are neatly and symmetrically spread out to the two wings, forming a place where stars hold the moon. The momentum is quite grand. The Foxiang Pavilion is 41 meters high, with 8 sides, 3 floors and 4 double eaves. There are 8 huge iron pear wood Optimus Prime in the pavilion. The structure is quite complicated and it is a classic architectural masterpiece. After watching the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion, we walked along the promenade and walked back to the Seventeen-Arch Bridge.
After visiting the Summer Palace, we went to the Temple of Heaven. The Temple of Heaven was first built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420), and was rebuilt during the Qianlong and Guangxu periods of the Qing Dynasty. It was the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshiped the heaven and prayed for a good harvest. The Temple of Heaven is the general name of the two altars, the Circular Mound and the Valley of Prayer. There are two layers of altar walls, forming an inner and outer altar. The main building is the inner altar, the Circular Mound Altar is in the south, and the Prayer Valley Altar is in the north. The two altars are on the same north-south axis, separated by a wall in the middle. We went to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Echo Wall, and the Circular Mound Altar, but we didn't go to the Hall of Emperor Qian. When we arrived at the Whispering Wall, we discovered that some people had engraved their names on the wall there, so now we cannot lie on the wall and shout.
We went out from the south gate of the Temple of Heaven and arrived at the Panjiayuan flea market by car. The market is divided into six business areas: stall area, ancient building area, classical furniture area, modern collection area, stone carving area, and catering service area. Mainly engaged in antique items, jewelry and jade, handicrafts, collectibles, and decorations, with an annual turnover of several billion yuan. I bought a lot of things in it, including crystals, jade, and small gourds made of agate.
After visiting Panjiayuan, we went to the airport to prepare for registration. The plane took off at nine o'clock, we ate something outside and then went in. Fortunately, the plane was not delayed, and it was already twelve o'clock when we arrived in Shenzhen.
This trip was tense, fulfilling, and joyful. It was one of my most perfect trips. The history and culture of the capital Beijing not only taught me a lot of knowledge, but also made me more interested in Chinese history. I believe I will continue to do so. Come to Beijing again.
