DAY 1 went to Beijing
After meeting with my girlfriends in Beijing, I had a light meal, went back to my residence to rest, and stayed at Weiming Junhe Hotel
Comments: Weiming Junhe Hotel is near the Asian Games Village, and it is the first time that we prepare a very serious evaluation. Because of long-term business trips, I have stayed in many large and small hotels. I am also very picky about the hotel. I didn't hold out much hope when I chose this wine, because it was just one day. I won't be back until midnight. But as soon as you enter the room, it feels like a great deal. Quasi-five-star configuration, and a purifier. Drinks are provided for free in the room. There are several kinds of fruits in the lobby. Toiletries are also very good. There is a feeling of must take away, haha. Especially their slippers, because I have big feet, it is difficult to find slippers that fit in the hotel. Their slippers are very suitable, it would be nice if the soles were thicker. When I went downstairs to check out, a staff member from the concierge rushed over to help with the luggage and opened the door as soon as I got out of the elevator. It's so warm. Because of my mistake, I forgot to close the window, and I found out the next day. However, next to the residential area and the road, I was not disturbed at all. Highly recommend.
Near the hotel is the Olympic Park, so I took a short stroll in the Olympic Park. On the way back to Tsinghua in the evening, I looked up and saw a UFO-like Huoshaoyun?
Dinner with my best friend, queuing for 1.5 hours, just at the WDK shopping center near my residence.

Roast duck is still delicious!
The roast duck was slow, and a large portion of duck soup was also sent.
DAY 2: Old Summer Palace, Lama Temple, Confucian Temple and Imperial College
After the high-speed train arrived in Beijing South yesterday afternoon, my cheeks were sore and my nose was swollen by the windy weather in Beijing. This morning, I was obediently armed with wool socks, fleece pants and sweaters.
At 8 o'clock, I rode all the way from the Wudaokou Mobike where I lived to the Old Summer Palace.
Today's ride in Beijing is very enjoyable, the streets are full of ginkgo and blue sky with filters.
It takes about 15 minutes to ride a bicycle to the South Gate of Yuanmingyuan, where you can book tickets online and swipe the QR code to enter directly.
The Old Summer Palace is really, really big..
The walk was very frustrating, but there were beautiful scenery everywhere around me, and I was not willing to miss any of them, so I walked very carefully.
In the end, after almost three hours of shopping, I only finished visiting the two sections of Qichun Garden and Changchun Garden. Kyushu scenic spots can only arrange to have the opportunity to play with the Summer Palace in the future.
Old Summer Palace
I came early, there were very few people in the garden, and the tour group came in when I was about to leave. So take pictures as early as possible.
Old Summer Palace
I feel that I am so lucky that I met the dark blue Beijing sky, reflecting the sparkling water of the lake.

Pick up a fallen leaf by the side of the road, look up and take a photo with the tree.

The Qichun Garden block is mainly a landscape of trees, lakes and seas. Walk along the signs and take pictures all the way to Changchun Garden.
There is a scenic spot of the Western Building Ruins in Changchun Garden. If you buy a pass online and buy a pass, you can enter it by scanning the QR code.
Old Summer Palace - Great Water Law
The "Dashuifa" is the representative building of the Old Summer Palace, directly opposite the "Waterviewing Fa" and has the only throne of Qianlong facing south.
It is said that because foreign architects did not understand the theory of Feng Shui, Qianlong was furious when he built this unique throne sitting in the north, and then immediately built a circle of stone tablets behind the throne, and engraved on it the most advanced weapons in the world at that time Ammunition and gunfire are used to ward off disasters.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was the most advanced in the world that destroyed this art pool city.

It's almost noon, go back to the south gate and take Line 4.
Inadvertently found this apricot tree corridor, blue sky and yellow leaves, as beautiful as a painting.

Next to the south gate of the exit is Yuanmingyuan Station of Line 4.
When I arrived at Xizhimen by subway, I got off the station and saw that the next stop was Xinjiekou, and I suddenly remembered the famous Huo Shao Lu Zhu, so I jumped on the car and decided to go for food.
It can be seen at a glance from the opposite side of Xinjiekou subway station. Always in line for the fire and marinated.
Line up to the gate.
I ordered a 28 yuan standard portion of fire stewed and fried sausage.
Door frame alley stewed for a century
Many Beijingers who lined up said not to add "lung", and asked curiously. It is said that it is a fishy smell that many people are not used to, so they followed suit and troubled the master not to add it.
Door frame alley stewed for a century
Fried sausage turned out to be neither intestines nor meat, but pasta made of flour like fried rice cakes, served with minced garlic sauce. Good southern taste.
Isn't it amazing for a girl to eat CDs for stewed stew and enema.

Beijing's subway is very northern, without fancy things, very rough and straightforward. It is completely different from the impression I had when I came to Beijing seven or eight years ago.
At that time, the Beijing 2-yuan pass subway was horribly dirty and crowded.
Lama Temple Station on Line 2.

I bought Arctic Ocean from my mother-in-law at the canteen at the entrance of Wudaoying Hutong.
It is said that it is the childhood of Beijing children?

There was a burst of aroma when the waiter served the wine.
I think it is the best rice wine I have drunk so far.
How does the store manage to make such a warm summer peach flavor into such a warm taste? It's amazing.

Tea-flavored ice cream with almost no milk flavor. If you don't like milk, you can try it.
Just after five o'clock, I walked on Andingmen East Hebin Road to eat Nanmen shabu-shabu. Very proud, one person, one pot and two pots of meat.
Although the waiter recommended mutton, I prefer beef tendon.
The sesame seasoning is very special, and many invisible ingredients are mixed together.
Sweet garlic snacks are delicious.
An hour after eating, the door was already full of people waiting for a seat. What an exaggeration!
(Actually, I think it's okay..

On DAY 3, there is a kind called Forbidden City Red
Just go out casually and look up, the dark blue sky, I want to dance happily.
Subway 4 for 2 for 1 went to the Forbidden City circle today.
Catch up with the morning rush hour of the Beijing subway.
While swiping my phone on the subway, I suddenly thought of Siji Minfu Roast Duck Restaurant, which is always queuing up next to the Forbidden City.
After reading the reviews, they all said that the meal opens at 10:30, and you can get a view seat if you queue up before 9:30.
It happened to be about the same time.
Exit B of Tiananmen East Station, Mobike is less than one kilometer away. It is a small shop with a hidden cave inside.
(The small door on the far right with a yellow background and a red plaque is the door of Siji Minfu)

The lights were all off.
I asked the waiter for the waiting seat number, and was informed that today is the first customer who does not need to wait for a seat, and you can go around and choose the view seats on 1F and 2F.
The weather turned cold in October, and the outdoor viewing seats were cancelled.
The character exploded 🌈🌈🌈

Cheers to the Forbidden City 🥂

I ordered half a roast duck and a set of dipping sauces.
Siji Minfu's roast duck is cut with skin and flesh separated, and there is a small alcohol lamp under the intimate roast duck to keep it warm.
I prefer the crusty noodle crust, and the roast duck of Siji Minfu!
Ah delicious! Half a roast duck can be eaten by one person.
The roasted duck skin melts in the mouth when dipped in sugar; the duck meat is wrapped in bread with scallions and cucumber strips.
The clerk also specially came to demonstrate traditional and innovative eating methods.
The innovative one is also dipped in garlic paste, together with pickled cucumbers and pickles, the taste is slightly stronger.

“Palace Snack Platter”
Maybe my taste is very southern, I like soft glutinous and sweet rice noodle products, this old Beijing palace snack can only be regarded as having tasted, I don’t like it.

Entering Tiananmen Square, there is a QR code on the signboard of the Palace Museum to provide tickets for scanning.
At the main entrance of the Meridian Gate of the Palace Museum, I rented a Chinese electronic automatic guide for 20 yuan.
Wherever you go, it will automatically sense and play voice.
Hall of Supreme Harmony
Next to the Hall of Supreme Harmony
Between the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Hall of Preserving Harmony in the Forbidden City, there is a small hall called "Hall of Zhonghe", above which hangs a plaque of "Yun Zhijue Zhong". It is the place where the emperor rested before going to the Grand Ceremony of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and received worship from the deacon officials.
[Yun Zhi Jue Zhong]
People's hearts are dangerous and uneasy, and Dao's mind is subtle and difficult to understand. Only with careful attention and sincere adherence to the right way can a country be governed well.
It means being impartial and in line with the righteous way.
Hall of Neutralization
After visiting half of the central axis, turn right and enter the cultural exhibition area.
Both cultural exhibitions are separately purchased tickets to enter.
The Clock and Watch Hall exhibits a large number of mechanical clocks and watches collected by the Qing Palace. Most of them are made in the UK, and there are also other countries such as France and Switzerland, and some are made by China itself.
During the reign of Emperor Jiaqing, the copper pot hourglass (timer) was ordered to be made by the Bureau of Construction. It was filled with water at 12 noon.

For the Qing court, clocks and watches were more of a status decoration, and they were indescribably gorgeous.

In order to perform "falling from the sky", the mechanism on the ceiling.
The "Wenshilou" (viewing stage) directly opposite the "Changyin Pavilion".
But it is not easy to actually watch the show.
The ministers kneel when they watch the theater, and they can only look straight ahead without turning their heads (meaning, for example, if there is a pillar directly in front of you, you can only stare at the pillar silently..) I feel that watching a theater is a punishment..

I really like this red wall green jade ❤️
"Fair and fair" is the most common plaque in court dramas.
Since Yongzheng, the imperial edict to establish a secret reserve has been placed behind the upright plaque.

I rode a bicycle to the vicinity of Dongsi Station, and found delicious candied haws with super high online reviews, which was at the entrance of Aoshikai Wumart store.
An old man was selling freshly boiled candied haws with rock sugar, during which chunks of rock sugar were constantly added.
The hawthorn has been processed in advance, and the pits have been hollowed out, making it easier to eat.
It's a pity that there are no strawberries and candied haws T T
The convenience store downstairs unexpectedly found kvass, so nostalgic!
DAY 4 One day in Tianjin
When I got up at 6:00 and went out at 6:30, it was still dark in Beijing.
In the empty carriage, I arrived in Tianjin within an hour after swiping my mobile phone.
In the morning when the sun just came out, there was no one on the road, and the cleaning man gathered the fallen leaves on the ground.
The "Century Clock" can be seen as soon as the train station exits.
Much like Shanghai, Tianjin is also a city with many concessions, and the buildings of various period styles are too beautiful to be photographed by mobile phones.
Piazza Dante
Marco Polo sculpture
I like to set off in the dark and go to a new city. In different seasons, I meet people born from different cultures and different soils. I want to dance in circles in the early morning sunshine.
The former residence of playwright Cao Yu in artistic style in his childhood is closely adjacent to his theater.
Riding Mobike back to the "Century Clock", the sun is high and the sky is cloudless, the weather is so lucky.
Go across the Jiefang Bridge to the other side, and ride and take pictures all the way through Mobike.
This is the first time I saw Mobike’s motorcycles. They are very stylish, but unfortunately I can’t use them. The Mobike APP can’t open them.
Coming to the corner of Jingyuan, I bought a big bag smelling the aroma, it was delicious.
When we came to Jingyuan, the last emperor Puyi spent a period of youth here with his concubine and empress.
There is a very detailed introduction in the exhibition hall, which is worth seeing.
Wenxiu's room on the first floor

Leave Jingyuan, ride Mobike, and come to the famous Catholic Church in Tianjin.
Be amazed by the glazed glass windows and the church roof
Then continue cycling to the porcelain house exhibition.
People who have dense phobia and don't have much interest in porcelain tiles can skip this attraction. Tickets for the private exhibition hall are not cheap, and the exhibition hall feels a little tacky and not chic, very, very, very secretive (say it three times!)
Cycling in the streets of Tianjin, the weather is good, the scenery is good, the sun is good, the air is good, and the mood is good.
Riding to Hebei Road, I have the impression that there are delicious pastries nearby.
After returning home and bringing it to my family, I always felt that this one was the most delicious one among the few souvenirs I bought.
Meringue, sweet and not greasy, jujube paste rolls, chaise cakes, Shaqima, and xylitol suitable for the elderly are available.
Tianjin Minyuan Stadium is surrounded by European-style five avenues, and "Back to Twenty" was filmed here.
The afternoon sun shines on the stadium, some people read books, many people jog, and more people sit on the steps and chat in small groups.
Take a bus in Tianjin and go to the Nanshi Food Street mentioned in the online guide to take a look.
looks great
The interior decoration is also very powerful, but where are the special snacks...
Could it be rectified?
Every store in it seems to sell the same land, with no special features, and I didn't find any special stores in the collection guide, so this attraction can be skipped.
Not far away, I saw a pancake shop. I want to say that I still have to eat a bite when I come to Tianjin.
The ingredients are quite enough, but I still think the one at my door is more delicious. What's the matter..
drum tower
It is a unique pastry with unique characteristics. It is said that the craftsmanship is very complicated and the price is not cheap, but in my southern taste, it feels common.
Fried cakes are delicious! Glutinous rice and red bean paste, very southern taste.
There is still enough time for the train, continue to Mobike all the way back, and ride along the sea to take pictures.
beautiful sunset
After standing there for a long time, it feels like time is about to stand still.
Tianjin Railway Station
Back to my residence in Beijing, I unloaded my backpack, looked for food everywhere, and accidentally wandered to Zhongguancun
It was too late, and a store called "Xiao Diao Li Soup" didn't have Xiao Diao Li Tang (fall!)
It is the best yogurt in Beijing (one bite of yogurt and a bunch of strawberries and candied haws)
