Beihai Park is full of joy, enjoying the lotus in the rain is like Jiangnan

When mentioning Beihai, the first thing that comes to mind must be to let us swing our oars... Taking the North Tower of Beihai as the prototype, the waves are rippling and the weeping willows are swaying. This must be the deep-rooted childhood memory of everyone. Boating in the middle of the lake is coming One of the items that must be experienced 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.

Walking along the lake, you can get close to these bright and dazzling lotus flowers in close quarters. The powder is white, and against the background of the lotus leaves, it highlights its beauty even more.

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 within a garden, and flowers bloom in the summer solstice

Take Metro Line 4, Yuanmingyuan Station can reach Yuanmingyuan, which is very convenient. It is recommended to exit the scenic spot from this exit, because the exit of the scenic spot is not convenient for transportation, and it is far from the subway station.

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.

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

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, cross the red bridge, and you will come to Qichun Garden.

The rapid development of the imperial capital, fortunately, when we walk into these historical relics, we can still vaguely see the rise and fall of honor and disgrace at that time. When we go to the Forbidden City, the former residence of the mansion, whether we walk into the alleys of the string alleys, or walk in the park, the ancient banyans and green bamboos, the towering The big tree is like a big umbrella protecting the Chinese people from generation to generation. Especially in summer, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and as far as the eye can see, a green ocean spreads in front of you. {data:{has_more:true,html:

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.

Art Inspiration 798

Before traveling to Beijing, I have always been partial to historical sites, humanities and natural scenery. For artistic and creative places like 798, I have never really approached it.

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.

The size of 798, if you want to walk into every venue, this piece of art is enough for you to waste a day here. When you are tired, you can find a cafe or restaurant and feel this art distribution area with your taste. Come for an inspired taste experience.

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 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.

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.

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.

Tour old Beijing

Exit from Exit A2 of Shichahai Station on Metro Line 8, go straight to the Drum Tower, turn left to Yandai Xiejie, and pass through Yandai Xiejie, which is the boundary between Houhai and Qianhai of 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.

Not far from the busy scene of Jianguomen Inner Street, passing through the Beiji Pavilion Hutong, the light rain kept falling, and even though the rain wet the clothes, I finally arrived at the hotel where I stayed-Beijing Minyoun Liya Hotel , much lower-key than Liya imagined, with a simple and bright lobby. When I checked in, I found a very interesting design at the front desk. It was this red seat. It was originally for the convenience of guests to check in and temporarily store luggage , so on one left and one right, such a design is added, which is both artistic and practical.

The rest area is convenient for guests to wait. Newspapers, reading materials, and drinks are provided for guests, so that the waiting process will not feel boring.

When you open the door, it is similar to the entrance The design ensures the privacy of the guests well. On the left is a small cloakroom with a huge full-length mirror. The toilet on the right is separated from the bathroom. I have to say that the toothbrush provided in the guest room is super easy to use. Compared with moderate hardness, don't worry about sensitive gums bleeding due to toothbrush problems.

The separation of the office and the rest area in the master bedroom is particularly good. It is an office area suitable for business trips. There are all wired plugs and office supplies. Even if you work all night, there is a small refrigerator under the tea area behind to make drinks, coffee, and biscuits. Snacks such as noodles, instant coffee and tea bags are also prepared.

The farthest straight-line distance is the sofa rest area. The L-shaped combination sofa is enough for Ge You to lie on alone. Laziness and relaxation will not affect the friends who work on the other side. This layout and design is really thoughtful and thoughtful.

Nutritious juices are paired with fresh fruits to feel the freshness and coolness of summer.

Speaking of blueberry yam, it is an all-too-familiar classic cold dish. When you see this exquisite and unique blueberry yam in front of you, it completely subverts the previous impression of this dish. These two buckets are shaped like yam. Sculpted, one white and one yellow, with condensed milk and juice, the yam evokes the refreshing taste of summer after being dipped in ice-cold juice.

Eat a piece of saliva chicken, which is full of numbness, spicy, fragrant, tender, and slightly sweet and sour. Not only the free-range chicken is used in the ingredients, but also the heat of the chicken in the cooking process has a great impact on the final taste. It plays a crucial role. In order to present the authentic Sichuan flavor to the guests, the executive chef of Mingyu Liya comes from Chongqing on the tip of his tongue. Also evocative.

I am used to eating Kung Pao Chicken, which belongs to the Kung Pao dish. I use diced chicken instead of shrimp balls. The improved version of Kung Pao Shrimp Balls is very appetizing. The processed prawns do not have to be peeled. And shrimp string, especially suitable for children to eat.

Supreme Mushroom King Soup combines a variety of fungi with high nutritional value. Matsutake, Cordyceps flower, and wolfberry are no strangers. This is the first time I saw black truffles. I used tin foil to treat the soup, which preserved the original juice of the ingredients. original taste.
