On a five-day trip to Beijing in 2019, I stayed in a boutique hotel near the Bird's Nest.

Beijing weather: sunny

With whom: friends

Accommodation: Weiming Junhe Hotel

Comments: To describe it in one word, it feels like home! After I arrived in the morning, I wanted to check in early. The lady at the front desk upgraded my room type from special offer to executive room, and I also got breakfast. The room is very satisfactory, clean and hygienic, well ventilated, and the sound insulation effect is great! The hotel’s attitude towards customers can also be seen from the cleaning aunt. I said I drank too much mineral water, and the aunt took the initiative to bring me a few bottles. She also told me that the lobby can also be casual, and would like to give me a few more cans of Coke Sprite, I managed to dissuade you. . . Definitely a five star experience!

It's like a sudden storm
Beijing, the city I have been thinking about for several years
finally on this special day
It's like wanting to vent all my emotions
Leave all the burden and stress behind
Beijing, how are you?

travel
is a resolute choice
open your eyes on the train
Seeing the first ray of sunshine in the northern land
it feels amazing
Time flies by alone
Then lie down and let yourself be empty

The train goes north
The scenery is more different from Jiangnan
The northern land has not yet entered the midsummer
It's already a piece of golden grass
It's mango season
Fast Harvest of Awned Wheat
Quick planting of rice with awns
My hometown should now be a paddy field with seedlings standing against the wind

I don't need to say much about the development of Beijing's subway
You can apply for a rail transit all-in-one card at Beijing Railway Station, with a half-price discount for buses, and the balance and cost of work can be refunded when used up. I spent almost 60 yuan for small transportation in four days. When the weather is good, I can ride Mobike and Xiaohuang (Little Huang is a little more)

The train arrived at Beijing Station 20 minutes late
Before coming to Beijing, I thought about countless life styles in the capital
It’s the first time I go to Beijing, please forgive me for being so excited

The passengers in the carriage all speak northern dialect

Very nice, very cordial

like the north

schedule

five days and four nights
? Accommodation: Guantong Modern Express Hotel (Qianmen)
It is about 2 kilometers away from Tiananmen Square, 10 minutes by bicycle and 20 minutes on foot. Walking across the overpass is the Dashilan commercial street in front, 1 minute away from the Zhushikou subway entrance. The location is very good, and the price of the hotel is very favorable if you book in advance.
?Transportation: Mainly rely on the subway??Walk??♀?
Walking 30,000 steps a day, the soles of the feet are covered with calluses
?Diet: I like to eat pasta, this time I really ate enough
I have tasted all kinds of old Beijing special snacks
??Tips:
1. Check the weather when traveling, and take sun protection???? Take an umbrella??
2. Carry your ID card with you, the subway will check it, enter Tiananmen Square to check it, museums check it, and buy tickets online in scenic spots, you can swipe your ID card to enter directly
3. Can you ride a bicycle? Don’t walk, your back hurts and your feet hurt
4. Food in the Forbidden City is very expensive, so you can bring some food by yourself to pad your stomach, and buy mineral water along the way. It costs a lot of money to drink water these days. The Great Wall Water is 2 yuan a bottle at the entrance, very conscientious
5. You can enter Tsinghua University on weekends and statutory holidays, but not Peking University
I will continue to add it later, I can’t remember it all at once

The "Meeting" of Beijing Normal University from South to North

Eva and I depart from Nanjing and Hangzhou respectively
The first day is my own
Beijing has many universities
Thanks to the junior girls of Beijing Normal University and the high school classmates of Peking University
You can buy the genuine Daoxiang Village when you get off at the Iron Lion Tomb of Beijing Normal University. It’s very good to take it back as a souvenir. You can choose it yourself. Don’t buy it in the railway station scenic area.

Beijing Daoxiang Village

Day 1
Beijing Normal University - Daoxiang Village - Peking University - National Library - Beijing South Railway Station

Beijing University

Guo Ge and I haven't seen each other for six years
see you again
Peking University now refuses to visit,
If you have classmates, you can ask them to bring them in
Generally, everyone enters directly from the west gate.
The architectural style of Peking University is very similar to that of Southern Normal University
Walking into it, even though I didn't see many students
But there is an inexplicable sense of reverence
When Brother Guo saw me off, he encouraged me to be confident, remember!

Beijing University

Guoge is a PhD in Biology
Literature, history and philosophy are also quite good?
From his mouth, I know many stories about Peking University
Weiming Lake, Boya Tower, Huabiao, Triangle Land

Beijing University

Guo Ge's photography skills are also top-notch??
When it comes to the future, why am I so uncertain
The academically tireless Guo Ge is a role model

Beijing University

Peking University has its own museum, as well as the Arabian library donated by Saudi Arabia. I have never heard of these. It is very worthwhile to come this time!

Beijing University

The first day was the hottest day of the trip, with almost 41 degrees in the afternoon. It was originally planned to go to the National Library of China after seeing Brother Guo, and then to visit the new CCTV site. After thinking about it, I should stay in the library and read books. There is air conditioning and writing, wouldn’t it be wonderful!

National Library of China

Guotu is very suitable for studying, with a spacious location and a rich collection of books. I can see my professional books and interest books at a glance. Remembering that there were still a few books of Mr. Mu Xin's works that I hadn't finished reading, I sat down and read them all in one sitting. It was already dark when I left the library, and I successfully escaped the evening rush hour.

National Library of China

Day 2
Qianmen Dashilan — Tiananmen Square — Forbidden City Museum — Jingshan Park — Beihai Park — Nanluoguxiang — Houhai

Beijing Dashilan

The official start of the journey with Eva
Starting from Qingfeng buns, fried liver is super delicious?
There are few tourists in Dashilan in the early morning, and the streets are still quite deserted on weekdays. Qingfeng Steamed Bun Shop is a must to check in, drip~
Stir-fried liver is a bit like rice soup with pork liver and pig intestines, is it delicious?

Qingfeng Baozi Shop

Beijing Dashilan

Passing through the big fence is the Zhengyangmen Gate Tower, and you can see Tiananmen Square in a circle. The road is a bit devious, and the management is strict. Entering Tiananmen Square requires a security check and an ID card inspection. When I came to Beijing this time, I saw Brother Bing and various security policemen the most.

Especially feel safe.

Beijing Dashilan

Tiananmen Square

Beijing Dashilan

The only time to enter Tiananmen Square during the five-day trip
The rest of the time is closed because of foreign visits. Every day when I go back to the hotel and turn on the TV, I can see that Dada has met with many leaders. I am so close to Dada

Tiananmen Square

The Palace Museum is divided into morning sessions and afternoon sessions. Buy tickets online and directly swipe your ID card to enter. Because of our limited time, we choose the most traditional central axis to visit
?? The Forbidden City is a one-way street, from south to north irreversible.

Forbidden City

This one sells water, 4 yuan a bottle, and Shenwumen, Jingshan Park, where it is 5 yuan a bottle

Forbidden City

The yellow tiles and red walls are really the best color for taking pictures!

Forbidden City

The Forbidden City has separate exhibitions in these two days: the Treasure Hall and the Clock Hall. I personally like the Treasure Hall, the exhibits are gorgeous and exquisite, and the royal things are exquisite and atmospheric.

Forbidden City

Every brick and tile in the Forbidden City is a story

Forbidden City

The palace wall from the Treasure Hall is suitable for taking pictures?

Forbidden City

The carved beams and painted buildings are said to be painted one stroke at a time?

Forbidden City

After leaving Shenwumen and the Forbidden City, the visit is over. It may not be enough to visit for a day. There are so many rooms, so many bricks and tiles, so many historical stories. The Forbidden City has witnessed the vicissitudes of life for centuries, and remains unmoved. History is here to settle down, and it is also here to look to the future.

Forbidden City

Behind the Forbidden City is Jingshan Park, and the ticket is 2 yuan.
Jingshan is not high at all, and it only takes two minutes to go up the mountain according to the old lady who sells water.

Jingshan Park

It is not a lie that the book says that you can climb up to Jingshan Mountain in one breath. Jingshan Mountain gives me the feeling of bleak autumn and winter, with the hazy Beijing flavor in the morning. One is Jingshan, the other is Xiangshan, feel the charm of old Beijing

Jingshan Park

You can buy electronic tickets at the entrance of Jingshan Park. After visiting, you can go directly from the east gate to the north gate of Beihai Park.
?? If you are not thirsty, buy water after leaving Jingshan Park. The scenic spot is a bit expensive.

Jingshan Park

The best point overlooking the entire Forbidden City
In the afternoon, the weather gradually got better. The sun wasn’t so hot. It was very cool on Jingshan Mountain. Looking down from Jingshan Mountain, you could see the North Sea and Shichahai Lake. They are all here, and the scenery is unique.

Jingshan Park

Beihai Park
??You cannot buy tickets online when you enter the North Gate, you have to buy them on the spot.
The White Pagoda and Yong'an Temple need to buy additional tickets, the Beihai ticket is ¥10, and the joint ticket is ¥20

Beihai Park

The lotus leaves in Beihai Park bloom very beautifully, and the colors of the white bridge and yellow boat next to each other complement each other, it is so beautiful!

Beihai Park

After coming out of Beihai Park, you can walk for about 10 minutes to Nanluoguxiang. I met Huguo Temple snacks on the road! So excited! All kinds of authentic Beijing can be found for everything

Nanluoguxiang

Huguo Temple Snacks

It's the first time I tried soybean juice, the taste is a bit hard to describe

But pea yellow, donkey rolls, tofu ball soup is good?

Huguo Temple Snacks

Nanluoguxiang

Every city has such a commercial street, just walk around and check in. I didn’t arrange time to come to Nanluoguxiang, but now it’s quick to just walk around.

Nanluoguxiang

Hutongs are a feature of old Beijing, and most tourists come for the Hutong culture. A low-slung bungalow with a red-painted gate, a bicycle and a mailbox with a milk bottle at the gate. It has a very Beijing flavor.

Nanluoguxiang

Drip ~ find the Central Academy of Drama

Nanluoguxiang

Houhai is included in the evening itinerary to see the bar street, but it seems that there are too few tourists and it is not lively enough

Shichahai Bar Street

People in Beijing are really happy. There are so many sound and humanized entertainment venues, and the pace of life is leisurely and relaxed, which is enviable.

Shichahai Bar Street

This shouldn't be the one that swims from the North Sea, right?

Shichahai Bar Street

all right! This is our first day’s diet, it’s pretty rich, and it’s an old Beijing specialty snack

Spectacular????? Walk 30,000 steps a day

Day 2
Badaling Great Wall — 798 Art Block — Bird’s Nest Water Cube

Badaling Great Wall

It was the first time I experienced the preferential treatment of postgraduates, and the student ID card can be discounted at half price, which is so touching!

Badaling Great Wall

??Going to the Badaling Great Wall, it is best to go early, no traffic jams, no crowds, no sun exposure

Take the subway to Jishuitan, then walk for about 10 minutes to the north side of Arrow Tower and take 877 to Badaling. One card is half price ¥6, full price ¥12 without card.

??The train is full and everyone has a seat. It takes about 70 minutes to arrive at the foot of the Great Wall. You can buy tickets on the spot or online, and you can buy discounted tickets on the spot.

??You can’t trust the words of the guide. She will finally sell you to take the pulley. In fact, it only takes an hour and a half to climb up. It’s not tiring at all. If there are old people and children who can take the cable car pulley, young people will of course have to climb up! On the way, I met an old man with a strong body. He climbed up to the twelfth floor of the north in one breath and turned back. It took less than three hours

??It is recommended to bring your own dry food and sun protection. There is basically no shade on the mountain. The downhill is steep, so you must wear comfortable sneakers? You can also walk downhill and hold the railings (suitable for areas with few people)

Badaling Great Wall

The Monument of Heroes is in the south building. We took the North Line, climbed from North 1 to North 8, then went to North 11 from North 8, and went down the mountain from the North 11 exit to Xiongyuan and took 877 back to the city.

Badaling Great Wall

There are fewer people from Beiba to Beixi, and the scenery is infinitely better.

Badaling Great Wall

If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and the journey is only 20,000

Badaling Great Wall

This iron railing is like iron plate barbecue...it's so hot that my hand still hurts when I go back to the hotel at night

Badaling Great Wall

So mighty and majestic! The Crystallization of the Wisdom of the Ancient Working People in China

Badaling Great Wall

Finally finished climbing, remember before going down the mountain!

Badaling Great Wall

Look at the picture I posted, do you think that there are no people on the Great Wall! It's not crowded, but there are still a lot of people! If you go down Beiba, there will be no one there!

Badaling Great Wall

Eva demonstrates the operation of going down the mountain, which is not slippery, but the hand hurts

Badaling Great Wall

there are people here

Badaling Great Wall

There is a bear paradise down the mountain, there are a lot of black bears in it! kinda cute

Badaling Great Wall

On the way back to the urban area, it is used to catch up on sleep. It takes about an hour to take the subway to Wangjing South, and then ride to the 798 Art District

Badaling Great Wall

It was already 3:30 when I arrived at 798 from the Great Wall. I was really hungry, so I bought pancakes and fruits in the Dashanzi community opposite! It's super delicious, only ¥6, and it's the first time I know that there are mung bean noodles and purple rice noodles. ?

Beijing 798 Art District

The whole 798 is very suitable for me, a literary youth, to take pictures? Here are some factory areas and office buildings? The facades of the old factory buildings are creatively spray-painted, and there are various plastic arts and art exhibitions, which give this area an industrial feel. Blends perfectly with art.

Beijing 798 Art District

The old Beijing yogurt here is so expensive. There are three bottles of 10 yuan outside, and a bottle of 10 yuan here. Just treat yourself as a reward for not eating ice cream today?

Beijing 798 Art District

Yogurt than I want to be pictured

Beijing 798 Art District

Met good-looking brothers and sisters by chance

Beijing 798 Art District

Forced to take a photo

Now it is a coffee shop under renovation??

Beijing 798 Art District

There is no harm without comparison, the young lady is very trendy

Beijing 798 Art District

On the third day of coming to Beijing, I had a very deep feeling. Every staff member I met was very dedicated, enthusiastic and sincere! This kind of humanistic care is the new business card of Beijing, like it?

Beijing 798 Art District

Once you find a wall, you can’t stop taking pictures.

Beijing 798 Art District

Volkswagen, Block B, and Hyundai

Beijing 798 Art District

guess what wheel this is

Beijing 798 Art District

Every way here. Every small piece of unique design is the scenery in my eyes. Came to 798 and resurrected with full blood, and I am in a very good mood!

Beijing 798 Art District

I imitate it

Beijing 798 Art District

Take a long bus directly from 798 to the Bird's Nest Water Cube. Successfully avoided the evening rush hour and saw Wangjing SOHO on the road.

The light is too dark, I can only take two selfies

Day 4
Temple of Heaven Park—Liulichang Cultural Street—Yangmeizhu Xie Street—National Museum—Wangfujing Street—Tiananmen Flag Lowering Ceremony

For pancakes? I can’t forget it. I walked more than 2,000 steps to eat pancakes for breakfast. I am really fat.

Tiantan Park

The Temple of Heaven is also super big, the joint ticket is ¥34, and the whole tour takes about 3-5 hours. The two of us really couldn't bear to leave, and we stopped after walking for about two hours.

Tiantan Park

The fasting palace is free, but you cannot enter it. Just take a photo next to it
??Although the temperature was not high on the fourth day, the sunscreen should still be done. I was so naughty that my two arms were sunburned in the Temple of Heaven, and my heart ached.

Tiantan Park

Personally, I feel that the photos taken in the Temple of Heaven are the best.

Tiantan Park

Round Hill - Echo Wall - Hall of Prayer for Harvests is on the same line, just follow the signs and visit.

Tiantan Park

Just a little white cloud, the photo is even more beautiful!

Tiantan Park

Be careful of the steps, I don’t know how many times I sprained my feet in the past few days in Beijing, and even fell on the round hill

Tiantan Park

Two foreign children, very innocent and cute

Tiantan Park

After coming out of the Temple of Heaven Park, take the bus to Liulichang Cultural Street, you need to walk for a while, you can ride a bicycle or transfer. We both regret not riding a bicycle a few days ago, which caused the calf to be swollen these days

Liulichang Cultural Street

Liulichang Cultural Street and Yangmeizhu Xiejie are on the same line, which is more residential than Nanluoguxiang, but it still has a literary style. Liulichang Cultural Street mainly sells the four treasures of the study. There are not many people on Yangmeizhuxie Street, but the environment is very good, with authentic old Beijing life atmosphere, and Hutongs can be seen everywhere.

Liulichang Cultural Street

Yangmeizhu Xiejie

Liulichang Cultural Street

Yangmeizhu Xiejie

Liulichang Cultural Street

Yangmeizhu Xiejie

There are a few petty bourgeoisie shops on both sides. It takes about an hour to walk down the whole block (pat and stop), and when you leave Yangmeizhu Xiejie, you will be at Dashilan. It’s just that I chose the well-known fried sauce noodles. Very delicious?

Yangmeizhu Xiejie

The noodles are chewy

Yangmeizhu Xiejie

After eating and drinking, go straight to the museum
??The museum starts clearing at 4:30 and closes at 5:00. At least two hours of visiting time must be reserved. You can see the ancient Chinese civilization exhibition hall on the second basement floor.
??The museum can store bags, and the security check is very strict

National Museum of China

The opposite side is closed because there are foreign affairs activities, and Putin was received greatly. We can only vaguely see the salute and the music team on this side

National Museum of China

Basically, it takes about two hours to visit the ancient civilization exhibition hall. There are so many people in the museum, there are several waves of students who came in with their homework, admiration

National Museum of China

It takes about 7 minutes to ride a bicycle from Tiananmen to Wangfujing. I have to say that the traffic in the capital is very good, the bicycle lanes are spacious and not crowded at all! The settings are very user-friendly.

Wangfujing Pedestrian Street

I found Huguosi snacks in Wangfujing and ordered fried pancakes. I was curious about what the fried pancakes looked like. After I ate them, I felt like rice cakes.

Wangfujing Pedestrian Street

Eat and drink enough to go to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-lowering ceremony at 7:41.
??When you ride a bicycle, you must pay attention to the nearest opening to Tiananmen Square to park your bicycle. Otherwise, you will be like me, riding from East Chang’an Avenue to West Chang’an Avenue, and walking to Tiananmen Square, and your legs will be useless.

Wangfujing Pedestrian Street

Tiananmen Square

The advantage of riding a bicycle is that you can see the scenery on both sides. Take out your camera? Take a picture

Tiananmen Square

Before 7 o'clock, the square is already crowded with people

Short people like me can only know what's going on in front of them by looking at the selfie sticks in other people's hands. I can also hear the footsteps of the guard of honor more clearly on the periphery.

Tiananmen Square

At night, Tiananmen Square fell into a quiet, night fell, and the lights came on, how are you?, Night Beijing

Tiananmen Square

Farewell? Falling in love with the city

Day 5
Flag Raising Ceremony at Tiananmen - Summer Palace - Tsinghua University - Peking University - Beijing Railway Station

Tiananmen Square

I was going to give up watching the flag-raising ceremony, but after talking with my mother on the phone, I decided to go and see it in order not to regret this trip. In summer, the flag raising starts earlier at about 4:30. We set the alarm clock at 3:30 to get up and ride from the hotel. Arrived at the square at about 4:20, already crowded with people, three floors inside and three floors outside

??You can take a selfie stick, so you can see the national flag guards, otherwise I can only see the national flag raised.

The moment the national anthem is played, I feel proud inside

Tiananmen Square

Waking up early is all about this minute! worth!

Tiananmen Square

I went back to the hotel and continued to catch up on sleep. I slept from 5:30 to 8 o'clock. I was really sleepy. After sorting out the luggage and storing it at the front desk, we started our last day of travel.

summer palace

Originally, the Old Summer Palace was arranged, but there was not enough time after the tour. The Summer Palace was simply too big. We only chose half of the way down.

summer palace

Summer Palace joint ticket 60, including big tickets, Suzhou Street, Wenchang Pavilion, Foxiang Pavilion, Virtue and Garden. If you have time to visit carefully, it is worthwhile. It is recommended to spend more time on the side of Kunming Lake. It is very beautiful.

summer palace

Royal gardens are so beautiful

summer palace

It was also raining lightly, and the weather was very good on the last day, only 22 degrees, suitable for traveling. A slight drizzle added to the scenery of the Summer Palace.

Summer Palace Summer Palace

summer palace

The pagoda here is very different from the ones I have seen before. From a distance, it looks a bit like the building of the Potala Palace. Could it be Tibetan Buddhism? This trip to Beijing, I feel that I am more and more illiterate, I see many shortcomings in myself, and I have to reflect on myself when I go back

summer palace

Leaning against the wall, the trip to the capital is unforgettable.

summer palace

Each Buddha statue is lifelike and exquisitely carved, which shows that the craftsmanship of the time was advanced

The most famous corridor of carved beams and painted buildings in the Summer Palace is surrounded by twists and turns and extends in all directions. The photo above is very beautiful

Looking up from Kunming Lake, you can see the Hall of Dispelling Clouds, which is magnificent, and looking down from the Hall of Dispelling Clouds, you can overlook the entire Kunming Lake, with a panoramic view.

Zhichunting Yangliu Yiyi, it feels like it’s still spring

summer palace

Wenchang Pavilion is mainly exhibits, displaying porcelain, flower arrangements, jade and so on in the Ming and Qing Dynasties

summer palace

It’s running out of time to come out of the Summer Palace, so take the bus directly to Tsinghua University. Tsinghua University opens at 1:30 pm, enter from the south gate, queue up to swipe your ID card, mainly to find a group photo of the second gate of Tsinghua University (Tsinghua Garden), and I also want to see the lotus pond written by Mr. Zhu Ziqing.

Tsinghua University

The architecture of Tsinghua University is similar to that of Nantong University, while Peking University and Nanshi University are similar, each with its own style.

Tsinghua University

The auditorium, the lotus pond is on the left side of the auditorium, and there is a plaque of Shuimu Tsinghua University next to it

Tsinghua University

Shuimu Tsinghua University

Tsinghua University

The water surface is clear and round, one by one the wind lifts

Tsinghua University

The trip to Beijing started at Peking University and ended at Peking University. It can be regarded as drawing a circle and returning successfully. I will definitely come back to Beijing in the future, such a civilized and lovely city!

The Story Behind Peking University

Every time I travel this year, I like to write the route by myself. Although there will be some adjustments, I can't stop looking forward to it. It's not a poor tour or a rich tour, I just hope to treat myself better within my ability, see a bigger world, and then come back and be a better version of myself.

Thanks to Eva, and to myself.
