Speaking of tourism in Beijing, there are a few attractions that you must have heard of without having been there. Great Wall, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, Ming Tombs. . . . . Generally the top three must be these few. But speaking of it, the Forbidden City is too popular, but there are many things to see and study. If you want to gain something, you have to take a day to visit slowly. The Great Wall is also a must, but it is far away in Yanqing District, seventy or eighty kilometers away from Beijing. The Summer Palace is said to be beautiful and very large. But I heard that if there is no guide to explain, it will be a big park, which is really lackluster.


A friend recommended a good travel agency "Bastar" two days ago. His family has a one-day tour of the Great Wall + Summer Palace, and it includes tickets and a tour guide. That's great, I just want this kind of way of playing without having to use my brain to read travel notes and search strategies. My friend understands me very well. I made a reservation the night before, and I will leave the next day and set off.


07:30 am to the scenic spot: Badaling Great Wall


"If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero." The Badaling Great Wall is one of the symbols of the spirit of the Chinese nation, and it is a must-visit place for heads of state, heads of state and dignitaries from all over the world to visit China. Climbing up to the Badaling Great Wall, you can see the Great Wall at your feet, winding and undulating, like a giant dragon without head and tail rolling and crawling on the continuous mountains, majestic and majestic.


We arrived at the subway station according to the assembly address sent by the tour guide the night before, and the tour guide raised a sign to welcome us when we got out of the station. Along the way, the tour guide explained the general situation of Beijing and the knowledge of the Great Wall with all his heart, which was quite humorous. We bought a round-trip cable car ticket of 140 yuan in the car, which seems to be cheaper than buying it in the scenic spot.

After getting off the bus, the children started having fun and went straight to Haohanpo.

12:00 noon

Because I took the cable car, I didn't feel very tired, but I was also hungry. There is a food court in Badaling Commercial Street, there are a lot of food in it
It all looks pretty good. I think that when I came here when I just graduated, there were really few restaurants, expensive and unpalatable. This time, I listened to my child and wanted to eat beef noodles, but there was a big surprise. The store told us that there are discounts for customers of Basda, which is great.


13:00 Go to the scenic spot: Dingling of the Ming Tombs


Dingling is the joint burial tomb of Zhu Xujun, Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, and his two empresses. It is the first emperor's mausoleum to be excavated after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the underground palace is the only underground palace that has been opened among the Ming Tombs. I heard from a former history teacher that the location of the mausoleum is very particular, most of which are geomantic treasures, and the architecture is very particular, the buildings on the ground are majestic and magnificent, and the underground is even more gorgeous.

I don't know much about Ming history. I only know that Emperor Wanli is a very controversial emperor. Some people say that he is a wise emperor, while others say that he is a faint emperor. Because he was angry with the ministers, he did not go to court for more than 30 years. During the reign of Emperor Wanli, the Ming Dynasty was powerful, and it was called "Wanli Zhongxing" in history. But there is also a saying that "Ming died in Wanli". In short, I feel that Wanli is a willful and lonely emperor. But if you don't follow the group or the tour guide doesn't explain well, Dingling feels that there is really nothing to see, and the tour can be completed in ten minutes. We visited Dingling for about 2 hours and learned a lot of historical knowledge.

The main reason is that we were very lucky and met a very professional tour guide. Tour guide Oda is a history book, both the official history and the unofficial history are eloquently told, and we listened with gusto. The story of the owner of Dingling really made me feel very emotional. One emperor and two empresses are poor people. Especially the story of the Empress Xiaojing, I almost cried when I heard it. But the emperor's crown of golden silk wings is really unique, so exquisite and gorgeous.

The final itinerary is the Olympic venues


17:20 Go to the scenic spot: the appearance of the Bird's Nest (National Stadium) and the appearance of the Water Cube (National Aquatics Center)


The night view is beautiful
