tell me about my travels


Cultural tours in Beihai Park are full of joy, enjoying the lotus in the rain is like Jiangnan. When mentioning Beihai, the first thing that comes to mind must be "Let's paddle..." Based on the North Tower of Beihai, the water is rippling and the weeping willows are swaying. Presumably this is every day A person's deep-rooted childhood memory, boating in the middle of the lake is one of the must-experience items in Beihai.

Enjoy the lotus scull boat, each boat can take up to 10 people, 40 yuan for half an hour per person, mainly in the area of ​​the inner lake where lotus flowers are concentrated, 60 yuan for 1 hour.

The North Sea is divided into four gates. If you have plenty of time and want to visit the North Sea, you can enter from the north gate and walk clockwise along the lake. If you are short on time, you can choose to enter the North Sea from the south gate. You can see it when you enter the gate. To the iconic Baita landscape, you can go straight to the White Pagoda, overlooking the Baita, and there is a lotus pond on the right. The annual Lotus Festival is held from June to October. It will start at the end of June this year. The 22nd Lotus Festival will open as scheduled. Listen The boatman who rowed the oar said that the lotus here was transplanted from Baiyangdian Lake in 2013.

Climb the White Tower, collect tickets separately, look around the White Tower, and surround the front of the White Tower alone. Although you can’t get close, you can find a corner and you can barely see the true face of the White Tower at close range.

After getting off the big boat and passing through the Wulong Pavilion, there is still a small Xitian hidden. The glazed archway hidden in the dense bushes is too domineering, and it has a sense of royal majesty.

When you come to Beihai, you must visit Jingxinzhai, and it is free. Because the number of people entering the park is limited, you have to line up at the gate. Everyone who enters the park will have a visitor card and return it when they come out.

Walking into Jingxin Zhai, you will feel as if you have come to Jiangnan gardens, rockery, pavilions, buildings, corridors and courtyards, there are gardens in the courtyard, and courtyards in the garden. The summer atmosphere makes the whole courtyard full of vitality. Spreading all the way to the rockery, the towering old trees with luxuriant branches are like huge green umbrellas, sheltering the ancient house from the sun and rain. The lotus in the pond is just about to bloom, but the leaves have covered the entire lake. Through the gap, one can vaguely see the reflection dancing, the fish in the lotus pond

There is a garden in the garden. Take the subway line 4 when the flowers bloom in the summer solstice. You can get to the Yuanmingyuan from the Yuanmingyuan Station. It is very convenient. It is recommended to leave the scenic spot through this exit, because the exit of the scenic spot is not convenient to go out. It is far from the subway station far.

The Yuanmingyuan Scenic Area is really big. I have been here three times. The bleakness and tranquility in winter, the vitality and vitality in summer, if it catches up with the sunny day, it is really a beauty made in heaven. Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, cross the red bridge, and you will come to Qichun Garden.

Among the more than 200 bridges, the only existing old stone bridge is the most complete.

Putting aside the heavy history, in summer, the bleakness of winter has changed, and it seems that Yuanmingyuan has regained its glory in the past. Without those exquisite carvings and beautiful buildings, carved beams and painted columns can only be realized by imagery At that time, the only ponds, curved bridges, pavilions and jade buildings still felt so beautiful.

The water lilies on one side are blooming brightly. Did they ever know that this pond, this royal garden, has experienced the ups and downs, the baptism of war and the baptism of war, and they have disappeared. Now this touch of summer color has added a new feeling. vitality.

These restored or leftover buildings and scenery are different throughout the year. When winter comes, you may feel the bleakness and desolation of the cold wind at most, but in summer, it seems to be full of vitality, and the scenes are like The poetic and picturesque scenery, there are boats in the painting, as if people are swimming in the painting.

After entering the Old Summer Palace, the first relatively large-scale ruins are the labyrinth and the humorous fun next to it. Except for the Dashuifa, it can be said that this is the area with the most concentrated flow of people. I haven’t been here for several years. When I came here this winter , Seeing that Harmony Fun has built a plank road, I can no longer go in and see it. This place used to be the only place where I could walk in and feel its vicissitudes of history, because except for Harmony Fun, other existing relics have no chance. It has been protected and cannot go in, but I also agree with this way of protecting cultural relics and historic sites. At the same time, I regret that I can no longer have the opportunity to get in close contact with these precious relics. Fortunately, I have visited twice in the past few years. Fortunately, I saw it and left a few precious photos.

I have seen a documentary about Yuanmingyuan before, which reproduced the grandeur of the Yuanmingyuan. It has influenced for two centuries, witnessed four generations of emperors, and witnessed the rise and fall of a period of history. After several expansions, the Yuanmingyuan finally has 600 football fields. It is so big that I really dare not imagine it. It once became an unprecedented miniature of the empire, including all architectural styles, symbolizing the supremacy of imperial power, and pouring into the ideals and hopes of the builders.

If you want to savor Yuanmingyuan carefully, it will probably take a day. It is different from the traditional humanistic scenery. Before coming to Yuanmingyuan, it is best to do your homework in advance and have a preliminary understanding of this period of history, so that you can step into this area. The once glorious royal garden will definitely give you a different harvest. Artistic inspiration Before traveling to Beijing in 798, I have always been partial to historical sites, humanities and natural scenery. I have never really approached 798, an artistic and creative place like 798.

As big as 798, if you want to walk into every venue, this piece of art is enough for you to "waste" here for a day. When you are tired, you can find a cafe or restaurant and feel this art with your taste The inspirational taste experience brought by the distribution center.

Seemingly disorganized, nonsensical graffiti, half-understood design styles, but all of them give full play to the creativity of art, and wild imaginations can be found here.

Some are floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street, watching people coming and going, all kinds of people passing by, and maybe meeting celebrities, you must polish your eyes, the crew of filming scenes is a common thing.

Surrounded by art like this, the nutrients of art are permeated in the corners. Are you unable to bear it anymore and want to show your talents? Many stores offer DIY courses, painting classes, hand-made classes, and fashion design classes, so that you can have fun. Only available, come here to stimulate your artistic cells.

The entire 798 covers an area of ​​more than 600,000 square meters. It starts from Jiuxianqiao Road in the west, Jiuxianqiao East Road in the east, Jiuxianqiao North Road in the north, and Jiangtai Road in the south. It used to be the old factory area of ​​Beijing's state-owned electronics industry. It is in the process of reconstruction Not only has the original scale been extended, but some still retain the appearance of the original factory building. Except for the graffiti on the wall, there are not too many traces of decoration. It is like a symbol of an era, which freezes the memory of that period. This characteristics of the times.

Art can also be expressed freely and freely. I like to walk through every corner of 798 to discover the beauty of details that are overlooked.

The Internet celebrity graffiti wall has become one of the must-see places when you come to 798. Looking at the back of the crooked nut under the graffiti wall, there is an illusion that you have come to a foreign country. It also shows from one side that this place is really artistic. , a strong sense of fashion

In the "nonsense" on the graffiti wall, you can always find very interesting words and ideas, humorous, and maybe even find resonance.

I found a big cute baby bear, and I played with the fabric bouquet for a long time. Among the big and small panda dolls in the store, one was begging for a hug on the second floor outside the door, and the other was lying leisurely on Ge You, ignoring The summer heat is unbearable.

798 is really suitable for concave shape. Although there are many tourists every day, if you search carefully, you can always find your exclusive place to play and concave shape wantonly, but you must also pay attention to safety.

There seem to be endless exhibition halls in 798. Some are open, some require a little admission, some are long-term exhibitions, and some are touring exhibitions, but they are closed on Mondays.


I often come to 798 for a stroll in the afternoon. Beside the red wall and plastic-steel windows, there are old trees with luxuriant branches and leaves to rely on. I don’t feel sunburned at all when I walk on the road. The shadows of the trees are whirling, full of the smell of film.

Take a stroll around Exit A2 of Shichahai Station on Line 8 of the old Beijing Metro. Go straight to the Drum Tower, turn left to Yandai Xiejie, and cross Yandai Xiejie to the boundary between Houhai and Qianhai in Shichahai.

I have heard about Yandai Xiejie for a long time. Since the shops are not open in the morning, you can pass by bicycles when there are few people. It is logically a pedestrian street. It is relatively quiet in the morning, but it is still very commercialized during the day. The street is only about one kilometer.

Walking through Yandai Xiejie, you will come to Shichahai. When the morning comes, the hustle and bustle of the night has faded away, and the calm lake water is quite beautiful.

The best way to get to Shichahai is to ride a bicycle or take a rickshaw. You can stop at any time, and you won’t feel tired after a tour. So far, there are still such narrow paths that can only be passed by pedestrians, and you will only find out when you really walk into it.

Guozijian and Confucian Temple are two connected scenic spots. With a pass, you can take the subway to get off at Lama Temple, and then walk over. Nanluogu Alley, Beiluogu Alley, Lama Temple, and Wudaoying are all nearby. The scenic spots here are particularly concentrated and can be used for a day If you have time, take a stroll here and savor the old alleys and ancient buildings in the old Beijing city.

There are still many ancient trees here, some of which may have withered, but they still show various forms, like the tough Populus euphratica forest, which will survive a thousand years of life and immortality after a thousand years of death. All trees have spirituality. We treat them kindly. They will also bless and protect this land from generation to generation.
