Thirty-two years have passed since the first time, and I came to Beijing again. During the five days in Beijing, except for the first day, the sky was clear and the air was clear. The body felt a bit cold and choking, after all, it was the weather in January in the north.

review first
Although I have been to Beijing many times, the first time that left the deepest impression was in the autumn of October 1988. The means of transportation that I took was the train and the plane, and the train was faster from Shanghai to Beijing. The train was T14 at that time. , T22, it takes about 14 hours. I took the hard seat of T14 and arrived in Beijing in 14 hours. At that time, my calf was already a little swollen.
Today's high-speed rail only takes 4 and a half hours (Shanghai to Beijing G6, G8, etc.)
In the past two or three decades, the development and changes of the country have changed with each passing day!
Back then, if you took a plane, you needed a letter of introduction from your employer and your work permit to buy a ticket. The price of the air ticket from Beijing to Shanghai was 76 yuan, which was almost a month's salary at that time!
There is also this incident because I remember it deeply. When I flew back to Shanghai, the checked luggage was gone. I asked the ground transportation management office to fill out the luggage loss inquiry form, and asked me to go back and wait for the notification. After waiting for ten There is news in the next day, I am asked to pick it up at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport myself, and I will be reimbursed for the travel expenses, haha.
It’s not like it can be sent to me by express now. When I get the luggage, the luggage bag is full of luggage tags. It’s broken. I still remember that the persimmons were bought from the fruit growers at the Shisanling Reservoir in the scenic spot. They are very sweet, so I left a deep, deep impression on them!

At that time, the living conditions in Beijing City hotels were not as good as they are now, and there were relatively few three-star and four-star hotels.
Recalling the time I went to Beijing, I ran a lot of attractions, such as Ming Tombs, Dingling, Xiangshan, etc., and I also climbed Xiangshan and saw the red leaves of Xiangshan!
It's a pity that there were no video pictures left at that time. There was no digital technology at that time, only Kodak and Fuji films and cameras.
Therefore, the focus of this trip is the Beijing 2008 Olympic Village, the current Olympic Park, Bird's Nest, Water Cube, Prince Kung's Mansion and other places and attractions that have not been visited at that time.
Of course, you must go to the Badaling Great Wall in winter to experience the Great Wall again!
If you don’t go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero. Now that you are in Beijing again, how can you not go to the Great Wall?
…
I chose to travel in January because there are fewer tourists in Beijing in January, and the travel and accommodation are relatively comfortable, and the ticket price is much cheaper than usual.
Travel itinerary, air tickets and hotels are booked online one month in advance. The off-season price is relatively favorable. The round-trip air ticket from Hangzhou to Beijing is only 1,000 yuan, and it is a punctual plane. People don't have to be so tired. The three-star hotel is nine hundred yuan for four nights, and it is located near the second ring road of Liuliqiao. The transportation in Beijing is mainly based on the subway!

Daxing Airport is located on the central axis, but why the position is off by 4 degrees, I checked the Internet, but got no results.
It feels different from other cities because it is a dedicated train, and the cab is only separated from the passengers by a small moving glass door. The driver's driving operation looks very relaxed (a few photos were taken with the consent of the train security personnel)
