No matter what the arrangement is, Beijing has become the last stop of this trip, hurried and fulfilling...
For this city, they are either unfamiliar or familiar, but they have never left traces...
When I was a child, Beijing was the National Cultural Palace, Xidan, Wangfujing Street, and the zoo...
Today's Beijing is the Temple of Heaven Park, the Summer Palace, the Palace Museum, and Jingshan Park...
Beijing weather: sunny
Accommodation: Unnamed Courtyard Hotel
Comments:
The hotel was remodeled from the residence of a military officer in the Qing Dynasty. The location is very good. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the subway station nearby, and you can walk to Houhai, Prince Gong's Mansion and other attractions. The hotel service is super good. On the day of check-in, I took the initiative to call to give directions, make an appointment for breakfast, make it on time, and ensure that the food is good. Ms. Li at the front desk was very helpful and patiently helped us solve the problem. Will stay again next time! !
T7 and T8, which travel from south to north, have carried us too much time. The beauty of Qinling Mountains is the endless caves outlined by day and night...the morning of the bean juice scorched circle
Some people say that if you haven’t had a bowl of soybean juice, you haven’t been to Beijing.
Yes, this bowl of breakfast for ordinary people in Huangcheng Genxia Hutong already has its own traffic and is famous outside.
Perhaps you will always hear bits and pieces about soybean juice, such as a sour and rancid smell permeating the air, or a kind of soup like swill...
In fact, if you think Changsha stinky tofu is a delicacy, and you think a bowl of Liuzhou snail noodles can satisfy your taste buds, then a bowl of bean juice is nothing more than that...
There are many places selling soybean juice in Beijing. Since I live near the Temple of Heaven, I chose this store, at the intersection of Dongxiaoshi Street and Qi Nian Street.
When I took the first sip, there was a familiar taste. I sat there thinking for a long time, and said to my companions... After a few sips, I found that I can attribute the taste of soy milk to the thick soy milk with sauerkraut flavor superior…
Kunming has heaven and earth, unique art to build the Summer Palace
Because the Summer Palace has been here many times since childhood, so it was not included in the previous itinerary, but when the friends I met from Chengdu Airport on the same day were discussing the itinerary, one went north and the other went south. I said that I would go from Hong Kong in the end. Drinking bean juice, eating candied haws, and visiting the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, he said that he had never been to Beijing, well...then there was the Summer Palace and the Palace Museum...
The subway experience in Beijing is really bad...
To be precise, it should be that domestic subways are not so active in the construction of barrier-free facilities...
I have always felt that An Heqiao, this name is very beautiful...
If you want to take a walk from Kunming Lake and go all the way south, you can choose the Summer Palace Ximen Station on the Xijiao Line of the Beijing Subway. Otherwise, just like we chose the Beigongmen Exit D of Line 4 and walked back to the station The North Gate of the Summer Palace.
And if you are in a group, you must enter from the east gate of the Summer Palace. If you also want to enter the Summer Palace from the east gate, you can choose Xiyuan Station on Line 4 or Line 16.
The Summer Palace is the most well-preserved royal garden in ancient China, formerly known as Qingyi Garden. It was first built in 1750 A.D., burned down by the British and French allied forces in 1860, rebuilt in 1888 and changed to its current name.
The main scenic area of the Summer Palace consists of Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake.
If you enter from the north gate of the Summer Palace, after crossing the long bridge of the Summer Palace, you will first see the Four Continents.
The Tibetan-style religious buildings built during the Qianlong period are "Nanzhan Buzhou", "Beiju Luzhou", "Dongshengshenzhou" and "Xiniuhezhou".
However, it was burned down by the British and French allied forces in 1860, and the current layout was built as it was in 1980.
From the Longevity Hill, you can see Kunming Lake
The impressions of the Summer Palace two or three times are all on this corridor...
It was first built in the 15th year of Qianlong, and was burned down by the British and French allied forces, and rebuilt in the 12th year of Guangxu.
There are more than 8,000 colorful paintings of figures, landscapes, flowers and birds on Fangliang.
The promenade takes Cloud Dispelling Hall as the center and spreads out symmetrically to the east and west sides, connecting the buildings distributed in front of Longevity Hill into one.
The promenade starts from the Yueyue Gate in the east and ends at Shizhang Pavilion in the west. It has a total length of 728 meters and a total of 273 rooms. It is the longest corridor in Chinese classical gardens.
In the middle of the corridor, there are four octagonal pavilions with double eaves, namely Liujia, Jilan, Qiushui and Qingyao.
The Qinzheng Hall was first built in the fifteenth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. It was burned down by the British and French allied forces in the tenth year of Xianfeng, and rebuilt in the twelfth year of Guangxu. It took the meaning of "the benevolent man lives long" in "The Analects of Confucius" and was renamed the Hall of Renshou.
This is the place where Cixi and Guangxu governed the court, received congratulations and received foreign envoys when they lived in the garden. It is the main building of the administrative area of the Summer Palace.

Sizzling grilled meat in the alley
A friend who has struggled in the imperial capital for ten years led me to the barbecue in the alley...
All kinds of beef, mutton... Then I got a nosebleed when I returned to the hotel at night...
Pimple soup is no stranger to me who grew up in the north...a good bowl of lump soup

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, commonly known as the Hall of Golden Luan, was the place where major celebrations were held in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
It was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle (1420) in the Ming Dynasty, and was originally called Fengtian Hall. It was renamed Huangji Hall in the 41st year of Jiajing (1562) in the Ming Dynasty, and it was named Taihe Hall in the second year of Shunzhi (1645) in the Ming Dynasty.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony has been burned and rebuilt several times, and it is now in the shape after reconstruction in the 34th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1695).
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is located on the three-story white marble platform, with a height of 26.92 meters and a construction area of 2377 square meters. It is the highest-level ancient building in China.
There are 10 beasts placed in the eaves corners of the palace, becoming an isolated example of the highest level of ancient architectural decoration in China.
"Taihe" comes from "Book of Changes", which means that everything in the world runs in harmony. Every year, the three major festivals of New Year's Day, Winter Solstice, and Longevity (the emperor's birthday), as well as major events such as the emperor's enthronement, wedding, canonization of the queen, announcement of the ranking of Jinshi, and the order of the generals, are held here.
The Hall of Zhonghe was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle (1420) in the Ming Dynasty. It was named Huagai Hall in the early Ming Dynasty.
"Neutralization" comes from "Book of Rites", which means to be impartial and appropriate in everything.
The Hall of Central Harmony is the place where the emperor received congratulations from the ceremonial officials before attending a grand ceremony or court meeting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The Palace of Preserving Harmony was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420), and then burned down and rebuilt. The existing main beam frame is a Ming Dynasty building.
In the early Ming Dynasty, it was called Jinshen Hall. In the 41st year of Jiajing period (1562), it was renamed Jianji Hall. In the second year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1645), it was called Baohe Hall.
"Baohe" comes from "Book of Changes", which means to keep everything in harmony.
The wedding of Emperor Shunzhi was held here.
In the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1789), it became a fixed place for the "palace examination".
Qianqing Palace was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle (1420) in the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the third year of Jiaqing (1798) in the Qing Dynasty.
Qian is the name of the hexagram in "Book of Changes", and Qian represents heaven.
From the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty to the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Qianqing Palace has always been the palace where the emperor handled government affairs and lived.
Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty moved the Qianqing Palace to the apse of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the handling of government affairs was also moved to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The Qianqing Palace is also the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties rested after their death, to show that they were "end of life".
Behind the "Upright and Bright" plaque in the Qianqing Palace is the place where Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty created the secret storage system to store the storage box. The box contains the name of the heir to the throne selected by the emperor and written in his own hand.
After the death of the emperor, the casket was removed for joint verification, and the secretly appointed prince succeeded to the throne.
Jiaotai Hall was originally called Zhongyuan Hall, but it was renamed Jiaotai Hall in the 14th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1535). "Jiaotai" comes from "Book of Changes", which means the intersection of heaven and earth, harmony of yin and yang. Therefore, Jiaotai Hall is located between Qianqing Palace (Heaven) and Kunning Palace (Earth).
There is a throne in the center of the hall of Jiaotai. Behind the throne is a plaque of "Wuwei" written by Emperor Qianlong copied by Emperor Kangxi, and a screen of "Inscription of Jiaotai Palace" made by Emperor Qianlong.
On the left is an ancient Chinese timekeeper, the hourglass of a copper pot, and on the right is a big self-ringing clock.
Empresses of the Qing Dynasty received court greetings here on the three major festivals of Qianqiu (Queen's Birthday), New Year's Day (Spring Festival) and Winter Solstice.
In the thirteenth year of Qianlong (1748), Emperor Qianlong deposited the twenty-five seals symbolizing imperial power here.
Kunning Palace is under maintenance...
Kunning Palace was built in the eighteenth year of Ming Yongle (1420) and was the bedroom of the empress of the Ming Dynasty.
The Kunning Palace and the Qianqing Palace in front are respectively the emperor's and the empress' palaces in the traditional sense. "Qianqing" and "Kunning" imply that the sky is clear and the earth is peaceful, that is, the sky is bright and the earth is thin and thick.
The current Kunning Palace is in the twelfth year of Qing Shunzhi (1655), imitating the style after the reconstruction of Shengjing (Shenyang) Qingning Palace. The door is not centered but on the east side, becoming a pocket-style house with Manchu characteristics.
During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the two rooms on the east side were used as the bridal chambers for the emperor's wedding. Kangxi, Tongzhi, Guangxu and Xundi Puyi, who ascended the throne at a young age, were all married here. The four rooms on the west side are Shamanism sacrificial halls, which are equipped with a circular kang for placing statues of gods and a cauldron for cooking sacrifices.
Imperial Garden
It was called Gonghou Garden in Ming Dynasty, and Imperial Garden in Qing Dynasty.
It was first built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420), and now it retains the basic pattern when it was first built.
The whole garden is 80 meters long from north to south and 140 meters wide from east to west.
Qin'an Hall was first built in the Ming Dynasty. After the wall was added in the 14th year of Jiajing (1535), it formed its own pattern. ΩΩ is the main building in the Imperial Garden, located on the north-south axis of the Forbidden City.
It is dedicated to Xuantian God.

View of Jingshan
Jingshan Park
Jingshan Park South Luogu Lane
It was very unexpected to pass through Nanluoguxiang once, it is not in the itinerary...
After coming out of Jingshan, I wanted to eat a bowl of Zhajiang Noodles, so I accompanied my young lady to this Zhajiang Noodle shop in Fangzhuanchang Hutong. I saw a queue outside the door from a distance. It’s because there are fewer seats in the store, but fortunately, the turnover rate is very high.
While waiting in line, I went to the opposite ice cream 🍦 shop and assembled a set...
The point of this ice cream is not the ice cream itself, but the slightly solid ice cream shell and various ingredients... Among the various nuts, I felt an unknown object as hard as a pebble
Ghost smell, garlic, tomato, and grilled wings with mustard
The two words "possible" were dropped in the front, which well reflects the advertising law...
At first glance, I thought this logo was Star Papa
Facts have proved that candied haws cannot be bought in such a place with a strong commercial atmosphere. First, it is expensive and second, it is unpalatable.
Qianmen one two
The last time I ate fried noodles with my parents on Qianmen Street, it has been a while...
Today's Beijing Square has settled in Starbucks Selection Store and MUJI Hotle...
The squares and workshops are still a little deserted, probably because the coldness of the night in Beijing in early winter blocked the enthusiasm, or maybe people's love is more in the blur of Sanlitun and Gongti.
Starbucks on the three floors ranges from coffee, tea, to alcohol.
Each floor is a giant circular bar, scattered and slightly empty seats...
Those who take pictures and check in, chat with friends, or think alone, maybe you can find your own corner here, and stay silent in your own world until late at night.
Remember at the end:
There will always be people asking how the life of "Beipiao" feels...
I will also ask why those people who live in snails still continue to "drift north"...
In fact, life is your own, and opportunities are your own...
If you haven't lived well in front of you, how can you look at your own distant place...
I think, in a strange city, home is the last line of defense... Life needs a sense of belonging...
