1: Train line, arrived on July 16, arrived at Beijing West Railway Station at 1:30 p.m., exited the station to the subway station, bought a one-card, the fee was 50 yuan including a recharge fee of 30 yuan, and you can also scan the code to use the subway after downloading the APP. It is recommended to buy a card to facilitate travel.
Today I only have half a day to play, so I took the subway directly to Yuanmingyuan, the journey takes about half an hour, and the adult ticket is 25 yuan (if you don’t go to the Xiyanglou ruins, the ticket is 10 yuan). The first time I met here was in the primary school Chinese textbook. The history of the invasion and looting by the Allied Forces is full of hatred. Naturally, there is no hatred when I come here. The history of shame must be remembered, but it is not hatred of the enemy. What needs to be warned is self-improvement, unity and friendship. This is in mind, so I will go around The ruins of the Western Building went around a few times. The garden is very big, I just walked around for two and a half hours and didn't finish it completely. After I went to the places of interest, I left to visit the nearby Peking University and Tsinghua University. Walking a hundred meters from the south gate of Yuanmingyuan is the west gate of Tsinghua University. , Peking University is also nearby, but you need to make an online reservation in advance to enter these two places. Since I didn't make a reservation, I had to turn around outside the door and then went to Zhongguancun, a nearby area, to look for food along the way. After sitting down in the restaurant, plan the itinerary for the next day. Because the tickets for the Forbidden City have been booked, I plan to go to the Great Wall. The route to the Great Wall can be taken to Deshengmen, then transfer to bus 877 to Bagualing, or take the subway to Huoying subway station , go to Huangtudian Station and take the train to Bagualing, take the 877 to get there within about 2 hours, and take the train from Huangtudian Station for about an hour. I plan to go by train, mainly because of Zhan Tianyou's relationship, the road will pass through the "herringbone" track, Also more comfortable. So I lived near the Huoying subway station at night, which is outside the Fifth Ring Road, and the cost is 280. There are very few single rooms without windows, and the accommodation in the imperial capital is expensive.
2: Get up at 6:20 in the morning, ride a bicycle, go to Huoying Subway Station Exit G4 is Huangtudian Station, the train at 7:20, I dared to arrive just one minute before, swiped the card and went directly to the station, this train Will enter the "herringbone" railway track, pass the stone statue of Zhan Tianyou, really want to see the stone statue of the great man. I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and I finally came to the foot of the Great Wall as I wished. I bought a ticket for Bagualing, which costs 40 yuan. You can go in directly by swiping your ID card when booking online, which is very convenient. After entering the scenic spot, there will be two roads, the North Great Wall and the South Great Wall. After a tangled meeting, I decided that a pervert like me should naturally go south and then north. The South Great Wall has a total of 7 Fengtai, and the road is short but The road is steep, and you need to go back the same way after reaching the end point. There are 12 Fengtai in the North Great Wall. The road is longer but the road is gentler. Among them, 8 Fengtai is the highest point. You can finish the climb. There are more people in the first 8 Fengtai areas of the North Great Wall, and you need to wriggle through the crowd, but there are fewer passers-by in the back, and because of the rain, you can make big strides in the back end, and finally get your wish. On the return trip after 12, take the bus 877 to Deshengmen. It takes two hours to drive there. It is a direct journey, just to take a rest, and there are seats. Deshengmen is on the second ring road, and there is a subway. If you are not physically fit, you can take the subway to rest near Tiananmen Square. I walked here. It took a few hours. I passed the West Sea, Shichahai, Houhai, Drum Tower, Muwangfu, Beihai Park, The Forbidden City, Zhongshan Park, Tiananmen Square, all the way to watch, shuttle alleys, find food on the road when you are hungry, watch the lowering of the national flag after arriving at Tiananmen Square, and then find a nearby movie theater to watch the animation movie "Fate Night - Tiananmen" that you are looking forward to "The Cup 2", watching a movie at night and booking it alone...After watching the movie at night, I planned to order some food from KFC for the night, but the KFC McDonald's near the capital closed at 12 o'clock, so I had to find another place, that's it, Witnessed the late night when the night fell, and also witnessed the four o'clock in the morning in Beijing.
3: Arrive at Tiananmen Square at four o'clock, but there are already many people queuing up. There are so many people on weekdays, everyone is full of enthusiasm! I was also very excited. I rushed to the national flag to wait and see. There were many people in front of me, but it didn’t matter. The national anthem sounded and the national flag was slowly raised. Taking a video with a selfie stick is a very solemn thing. I expected everyone to salute and sing the national anthem, but it turned out to be like this. I really want to use scissors to turn these tall selfie sticks up " Click, click, are others interested in watching the video of raising the national flag on your mobile phone? There was little loss of interest, but I couldn't salute and sing the national anthem firmly, and I was just silent in the crowd. I hope that partners who think this strategy is useful don’t do this, and sing the national anthem to inspire others! It was still very early after the flag raising. After having breakfast and resting on the roadside, I prepared for the Forbidden City tour. I visited the Imperial Palace. The word that came to mind was the atmosphere. You can queue up at 8:00 at the earliest. You can enter by swiping your ID card after buying tickets online. Tickets are 60 Yuan, the two-hour walk is basically finished. The Treasure Hall and Clock Hall in the scenic area need to buy tickets separately, and they have not entered. Book a hotel near Shichahai at noon. After lunch, take a lunch break to replenish your energy. In the afternoon, continue to visit Beihai Park. This is one of the most well-preserved royal gardens. You can see the scenery around the lake, there are strange stone murals, and there are temples to visit. The tour ends in an hour and a half , and then walk back to Shichahai, walk through the alleys and trails. This place is composed of Qianhai and Houhai. If you are physically weak, you can take a tricycle to play. The master will introduce you to old Beijing. I went around the lake. When it got dark, I found a bar in Houhai to drink and listen to music to rest and spend the day.
4: I haven’t had a good meal after a few days of berserk, and I’m going to try Beijing Roast Duck this morning after taking a break. After checking the Internet, I finally chose the Quanjude store. There is a branch in Shichahai that’s nearby, so it’s convenient, so I went to taste. The first few bites of the duck skin dipped in sugar are delicious, but after eating a few slices, it feels greasy, and after biting, it feels like oil and water overflowing. I really like spicy food, haha, the original taste is sweet. Next, take the subway to the Sanlitun business district and the World Trade Center. These two places are places for shopping and eating. I mainly want to see the buildings and walk around. I don’t have much clothes to buy. In the evening, go to the Olympic Park to see the buildings Bird's Nest and Water Cube. If you upload a better night view on the Internet, you can take a look at it at night, but before 9 o'clock, you will turn off the lights and retreat. The Bird's Nest will have performances at night. Buy the Water Cube. Tickets are valid for swimming. Staying near the Military Museum at night is convenient for visiting the next day. I saw the news today that 33 people were killed in the KyoAni fire, and there were still some injured. The man-made fire caused the first studio of KyoAni to disappear. May the dead rest in peace and the injured recover as soon as possible physically and mentally.
5: Go to the Military Museum in the morning. There is a subway station nearby. Tickets need to be reserved in advance. They are free and there are many people in line. From the introduction of weapons and equipment from ancient China to today, the preview of weapon models, functions, history, principles, etc., I just took a look around. After previewing for an hour and a half, it is time to return after viewing the last place, and the trip to the imperial capital ends here and goes to the West Railway Station.
During the journey, the landscape may not be as spectacular and beautiful as expected after arriving at the goal, but it will not reduce half of the curiosity about unknown exploration. Even if there is disappointment, it is worth exploring. This trip is the first time to travel alone in a long distance. It can be said that you can let yourself go, follow your heart, go where you want to go, and you can walk to the goal within 10 kilometers. Rest in place, look for food nearby when you are hungry, and sleep in a hotel when you are sleepy. The joy and satisfaction after arriving at the destination is like traveling in the rivers and lakes. If you can’t do it or dare to do it, continue to practice. Everyone has their own ideas The road ahead is ahead, and I am willing to explore more unknown landscapes and move on.
