Beijing May Day travel strategy, stay in a boutique hotel near the Bird's Nest

Beijing, a city I have visited many times
I have never slowed down to feel its ancient charm slowly, and take advantage of the warm spring breeze to have a collision between history and modernity.
It’s been five months since I came to Beijing last time. I said I was here for a meeting. In fact, the teacher created an opportunity for us to play. Unfortunately, I got enteritis. I just lay in the hotel for two days, watching my friends go to Houhai to Nanluogu Lane, I secretly made up my mind to meet Beijing formally. And at this very moment, here I am.

Accommodation: Weiming Junhe Hotel

Comments: Weiming Junhe Hotel is a hotel near the Bird's Nest. It is a very new hotel in the Olympic Village business district. The hotel facilities are very new, and the service staff are very friendly. There are welcome fruits and refreshments in the lobby, and snacks in the rooms , you can see the store's intentions. Toothbrush paper towels and breakfast tableware are all environmentally friendly products. Although the breakfast restaurant is underground, it has a reasonable design, is bright and spacious, and has a variety of varieties. The overall experience is very good.

First stop, Forbidden City - Jingshan - Olympic Park

Considering the Qingming holiday, I booked tickets on the official website of the Palace Museum in advance. The full-price ticket in the peak season is 60 yuan per person, excluding the clock and treasure museum (10 yuan per person). It turns out that this is right. I saw a lot of people I bought tickets on the spot but was told that they were sold out, and I was secretly happy.

Departed from Zhuangli in the morning, arrived in Beijing at 10:00, decided to go to the hotel first, and settled for brunch at Qingfeng Baozi Shop. When ordering, I found that the buns were sold by two. Wow, I really have no idea about this, I probably ate it Four taels, dipped in garlic and chili oil, the taste buds have been greatly satisfied. After packing up, I rushed to the Forbidden City. I saw a sea of people from a distance. When I got off at Tiananmen Square East, I had to go through the security check before I could cross the road. I really had to bring my ID card with me, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have one. The ID number is the same. OK. The Forbidden City enters from the Tiananmen Gate, and the Meridian Gate is the entrance. There are auto-interpreter rentals around, 20 yuan/each, in the Forbidden City, a place with a long history and culture, it is still necessary, otherwise you will really be at a loss. Return it at the exit without a deposit, so isn't it easy to be loaded?
Follow the mini program to play the Forbidden City, and you will never be afraid of getting lost again. (Within the palace walls, it looks like everywhere)

Forbidden City

Being inside the high red wall, I can't help feeling how many young women spend their lonely lives under this square sky.

Forbidden City

The plaque of "Inaction" is hung on the Jiaotai Hall, which reminds me that a woman's inaction is virtue.

Forbidden City

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, there is a plaque of "Uprightness and Brightness" written by Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, and a storage box is hidden behind it.

Forbidden City

Cultural and creative parks can be seen everywhere in the Forbidden City. This doll is so cute. There are also various refrigerator magnets, postcards, commemorative coins, stamps, whichever one can capture your heart.

Forbidden City

☞☞Knock the key
The Forbidden City closes at 5:00 p.m., and clearing begins at 4:30 p.m. The doors are often locked when this wave of people leave, and you can only watch outside the door for half an hour. At this time, the light is just right, and the flow of people will gradually decrease. Those who want to take pictures must seize the opportunity.

Coming out of Shenwu Gate is the gate of Jingshan Park. As the saying goes, Jingshan is the back garden of the Forbidden City. Tickets are 10 yuan per person, and you can also buy electronic tickets by following the public account and visiting the park.

Wanchun Pavilion is located on the central axis, the highest point of Jingshan, overlooking the entire Forbidden City, and the view is very wide when the weather is good.

Jingshan Park

You can also see Beihai Park, the weather is really bad, blowing sand

Jingshan Park

After coming out of Jingshan, I was already very hungry, and then Yang Zai actually only ate Maoxuewang at the roast duck restaurant

, among all the Maoxuewang I have eaten, the one in Chongqing is the best. The duck rack can be fried with cumin or soup, 20 yuan/piece.

Strolling to the Olympic Park, the night in early April was still very cool, there were relatively few people here, and it was possible to take a group photo in an empty space.

Beijing Olympic Park

Walking to the lake next to the bird's nest, you can take reflections. There are a lot of night fishing here, so keep your voice down, otherwise the fish will be scared away.

The Second Station of Beijing Olympic Park, Peking University - Corner Tower - Front Gate Dashilan - National Theater

Peking University needs to make an appointment in advance. You can make an appointment in the "Visit Peking University" applet. There are almost no places, so you must make an appointment in advance! Of course, there are many people who are like scalpers at the gate of the school. I personally think it is not worth it, haha.

The campus is really beautiful. Nearly half of it is like a park, which is very emotional. It is super happy to go to school here. When you can’t walk, you can ride a bicycle~ It’s okay to transfer to another campus.

Weiming Lake and Boya Tower are surrounded by flowers, red, pink, yellow, and white, 🌸🌺🌻🌷💐, I want Peking University to get me as a student

Beijing University

Seeing a kid feeding the ducks, I also took out my biscuits and broke them into small pieces. They happily swam over to eat them. There were also a lot of oversized fish 🐠 coming to grab them. I don’t know if anyone usually feeds them.

Beijing University

Now it's gradually clearing up, blue sky and white clouds, and a warm spring breeze

Beijing University

The Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace are right next to Peking University. We rode a bicycle and found that we couldn't squeeze the huge crowd, so we had to give up. The Dashuifa in the Old Summer Palace, the ruins of the Western Building, the Seventeen-Arch Bridge in the Summer Palace, and the Foxiang Pavilion are still worth seeing.

Now, we are going to the corner tower to take pictures. Sometimes my smart navigation is unreliable. It takes me to the southeast corner along Nanchizi Street. It is definitely not a classic seat.

, next to Donghua Gate. Generally, the northeast and northwest corners are acceptable. Today there is a big dark cloud on the head, and it feels like it will rain at any time.

I met a group of children sketching from life, thinking about my dream of painting since I was a child, but unfortunately it didn't come true.

Cycling to Qianmen Street, there are traffic controls everywhere, I feel that I will be taken away by the police uncle if I am not careful, but fortunately I am sitting upright. Qianmen Street and Dashilanr (dashilanr) are together, go to fill your stomach first and stroll slowly. This restaurant is on Meishi Street. The roast duck is delicious, but it will get greasy if you eat too much. It is very oily. After we finished eating, there was already a long, long line outside, and the reputation is quite big.

After dinner, we parted ways with Yang Zai, he went to the National Center for the Performing Arts to shoot "Bird Eggs", and I went to hang out.
When the lanterns first came on, it was still very beautiful.

Beijing National Center for the Performing Arts Concert Hall

There are always so many people in this kind of place where you can eat, buy and shop. There are many old Beijing brands here. Although I don’t know them, haha, it doesn’t affect my joyful mood at all.

Beijing Dashilan

I don’t know when I have liked Xiao Yueyue very much. He is also a very inspirational person. If I have the opportunity, I must go to the scene to listen to the cross talk.

Beijing Dashilan

Coming out of Dashilan is Qianmen Street. At first glance, there is a sense of sight of Xiamen Zhongshan Road, but it is still different when you look closely. Quanjude's fish head cake is also very famous.

Qianmen Street

Attached is the photo of Tiananmen Square before, the teacher even bought candied haws, haha

Tiananmen Square

The third stop of Tiananmen Square, Yuyuantan Park - Temple of Heaven

It's the Cherry Blossom Festival in Yuyuantan. I went out early to see the flowers. The ticket is 10 yuan/person. It may be that there are too many parks in the past few days, and I didn't have much interest when I saw it. Then I found out that I didn't take a picture of cherry blossoms

Yuyuantan Park

The big ticket for the Temple of Heaven is 10 yuan/person, and it is 25 yuan/person to buy Huiyinbi, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, and Circular Mound separately, or you can directly buy a package ticket for 35 yuan/person. It should be noted that the Echo Wall, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, and Circular Mound will be cleared at 5:30, so tickets for these three places will not be sold after 4:30. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is still very shocking. The weather is not so good, so the photos are average.

Temple of Heaven Park - Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests

What does the echoing wall in your imagination look like? I went in and turned around and then came back to ask Uncle Security where this is, this is the Whispering Wall! It was too badly damaged before, I don’t know if it can still transmit sound now, the walls are surrounded by railings, I only noticed this imperial vault.

Whispering gallery

Hongqiao Market is opposite the Temple of Heaven. It is said to be a jewelry market. There are foreigners everywhere when eating. The English of the order staff is really fluent. It makes me feel like I am in a foreign country and I feel insecure.

Red Bridge Market

Yoshinoya's food is always delicious.

postscript

As I write this, my Qingming holiday is over. I have been to many places and seen a lot of scenery. Every time I want to leave something behind, I am defeated by my laziness. Photos do exist, and memories and details will slowly fade away. After evaporating, I wrote my first travel note while my memory was still fresh, which was really more refreshing than writing a thesis. The itinerary is always in a hurry, and I haven't taken the small train to Juyongguan yet. When will I check in at "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero". I also didn't eat cheese fish, small hanging pear soup, old Beijing sour bean juice, fish head soaked cakes, copper pot shabu-shabu, it's a pity everywhere.
☞☞☞
Transportation: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei One Card, it is very convenient to swipe the subway bus, which can save the time of queuing. But I really don't understand how to charge, the same distance, Yang Zai 1.5, I 3

, Yang Tsai 1, I 5.

Mini programs used: enjoy the park, visit Peking University, play the Forbidden City

Next stop, Chengdu. ❤
