The Forbidden City is located in the center of Beijing City. It was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is one of the largest, majestic and well-preserved ancient royal palaces in the world today. The Forbidden City is also called the Forbidden City. It has become a priceless historical witness of Chinese civilization in the Ming and Qing Dynasties with its garden landscape and 9,000 rooms of huge buildings containing furniture and handicrafts. In 1987, the Forbidden City in Beijing was included in the "World Heritage List" by UNESCO. Therefore, I decisively decided to leave Beijing to visit the Forbidden City and see the magnificent Forbidden City.
A group of 2 of us arrived at Beijing Railway Station by high-speed rail at night. After arriving in Beijing, we stayed at Crystal Orange Beijing Chongwenmen Hotel (No. 114, Chongwenmenwai Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing). After consulting the handsome guy at the front desk how to buy tickets to the Forbidden City For special reasons, you need to purchase tickets online in advance), and set off to visit the Forbidden City immediately! After visiting the Forbidden City in the morning, we went to the Temple of Heaven Park in Beijing in the afternoon. After getting off the bus in the morning, we can see the Temple of Heaven Park (No. 2 Tiantan Dongli, Dongcheng District, Beijing) at the hotel we stayed in the morning. It takes about 8 minutes from the hotel to the Temple of Heaven Park. ticket price:

2. Combination ticket (including big ticket, Kagura Department, Zhai Palace, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, Circular Mound, Echo Wall)
35 yuan in peak season, 30 yuan in off-season
3. Garden within a garden
10 yuan for Shenyue Department and Zhai Palace; 20 yuan for Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, Echo Wall and Circular Mound;
I bought tickets and started a half-day tour of the Temple of Heaven. The Temple of Heaven is a special altar for the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties to worship the sky, pray for rain and pray for a good harvest. In addition to watching the exquisite buildings of the halls, the ingenious designs such as the echo wall and the three-tone stone also make people sigh the wisdom of the ancients. Tours generally enter from the south gate and exit from the north gate (or east gate), and then leave after visiting the Circular Mound, Huangqiongyu, Danbi Bridge, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and the Hall of Emperor Qian.
After leaving the Temple of Heaven, I went to Wangfujing Pedestrian Street in the afternoon. Wangfujing Pedestrian Street is a famous commercial area with a long history of hundreds of years. It enjoys the reputation of the Golden Street in Beijing. . It is located on the north side of East Chang'an Street in the city center and has a long history. It was first formed in the Yuan Dynasty, more than 700 years ago. The earliest commercial activities appeared on this street in the middle of Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, a total of eight palaces and princess palaces were built on this street, and later a sweet water well was built for the palace to drink. This street was originally called Wangfujing. In the 29th year of Guangxu, Dong'an Market was formed, and Wangfujing began to develop into a commercial street, becoming one of the four major commercial districts in Beijing.
When visiting Wangfujing Street, you must go to Department Store, Foreign Language Bookstore, Danyao Building, Gongmei Building, Wangfu Ladies Department Store, Muslim Building, Xindong'an Market and Shengxifu, Tongshenghe, Donglaishun, Quanjude, Silian Hairdressing, Baicao Pharmacy It constitutes this modern commercial street full of commercial spirit. The well-proportioned and uniquely decorated stores have gathered hundreds of domestic firms and well-known overseas brands. A wide range of commodities and lifelike sculptures make this 700-year-old street rejuvenate, and tens of thousands of people gather here every day to see her charming charm.

【Hotel Environment】
This hotel seems to be inspired by blue and white porcelain, which may be the reason why it is close to Ciqikou subway station! The blue and white building and the design style of the small courtyard-style garden of the Hui style can bring us a tranquil mood amidst the hustle and bustle.
There is a rest area in the garden, where we can drink tea and chat, and show the tranquility and comfort of life after busy work.

All rooms have wireless Internet access, equipped with multiple lighting modes and electric curtains. The sound insulation of the rooms is also very good. All the free toiletries in the guest rooms are POLA, the beauty brand used by the Japanese royal family. This is really noble.
