Intended to take advantage of the student card does not expire tickets can be half price, and can be staggered tourist peak, so decided to go to Beijing alone. Considering the price of airfare and lodging as well as the time schedule, I decided to leave on the 30th.

1. The Palace Museum is closed on Mondays, and many attractions will be closed on Mondays, in order to stagger the peak of the New Year's Day, choose Tuesday to go to the Palace Museum .
2. On the day of the 8th day of the Lunar New Year's Day, there will be congee activities in the Yonghe Palace.

Other attractions are the night before according to the approximate time spent on each attraction and then make arrangements, so I did not do much pre-strategy, for eating places also did only a few strategies. The fact also proves that the plan is not as good as the change .

1 Beijing, many attractions have WeChat public number, which can buy tickets and detailed opening hours, opening hours must be done in advance, many museums and so on Monday are closed!

2 Necessities: charging treasure hat, scarf, gloves, comfortable shoes, student ID card, the right amount of cash .

3 off-season many attractions in the attractions at four o'clock can not enter, so the day's play time from eight thirty to four o'clock up to three attractions, Beijing, the various attractions of the traffic is very convenient to reach, take the subway ride a bicycle on the right, the bus and so on quite a long time!

12.30 Chengdu fly Tianjin, Tianjin? Beijing.

Airfare will be a lot more cost-effective, just the time will cost about two hours more. Airfare 459 High Speed Rail 54.5

Beijing The subway can use the app to scan the code to enter the station, but not to swipe the bus, the bus has other apps. Beijing Buses have to swipe the code to get on and off the bus, and the fare is calculated according to the distance traveled.

One o'clock youth hostel check in. The location of the accommodation depends on your own trip to decide, I chose the Beijing Climbing Stairs International Youth Hostel near the Andrey North Street subway station, the price is reasonable.

Lunch - Yao's Fried Liver Gulou Restaurant

A small portion of fried liver is 9 RMB and a donkey roll is 10 RMB, so order a bun to go with the fried liver. The donkey rolls are cold, and the fried liver will make you tired if you eat too much of it, and it's filled with garlic, fat intestines, and other ingredients.


Yaoji Fried Liver Restaurant Gulou Zhonglou Shichahai

Yaoji fried liver next to the Drum Tower Bell Tower, nothing to see. Beijing windy will be very cold, even if there is sun, photo hands will freeze for a second. If you are going to Beijing in winter, scarf, gloves and hat are a must!


Beijing Bell Tower bell and drum tower

Smoke bag diagonal street is near the Drum Tower, it is a commercial street, through here you will get to Shichahai. The wind was really strong, so I didn't stay too long and planned to go to Beihai Park.


Smoke bag diagonal street Jingshan Park

Originally, I planned to go to the south gate of Beihai Park, from south to north, so as to be close to the accommodation. I ended up passing by the east gate of Jingshan Park.
Tickets are half-price, 1 dollar.


My approximate route is this, I wandered around and did not stroll to the Guanmiao Pavilion that two pavilions.

Tip: Jingshan Park to go to the highest point to shoot the Forbidden City on the line, recommend that we go to avoid the peak of the crowds on Monday when the museum is closed.

I encountered two security guards told me the more up the wind is not big, I believe. Then go up to the wind is even more windy, okay?


The weather wasn't great (but the sky was actually quite blue) and the shots of the Forbidden City didn't look good, not to mention the cell phone I was using. So I adjusted the color later to make the Forbidden City a bit clearer.

Even though it was windy, there were still a lot of people coming to take pictures of the Forbidden City. I had to wait for some time before I could stand in the center to take a picture.


Square Brick Factory No.69 Fried Noodle

Beijing 5:00 or so on the dark, went to find the guide everyone recommended the square brick factory No. 69 fried noodles, a bowl of 20
I had to stir the sauce for a long time, but I couldn't get it to break up. To be honest, it wasn't that good. It was probably my first time eating this kind of noodles and I didn't finish it until it was cold. Couldn't eat it without the chili.


Square Brick Factory No. 69 Fried Sauce Noodles 12.31 Forbidden City Museum

So I'm not going to go into too much detail about the timings, just remember one thing? The museum is closed on Mondays.

If you want to stroll from morning to afternoon, bring your own snacks, after all, the inside of the Palace is very expensive!

Tickets off-season 40, treasure museum, clock museum are 10, student ID half price.


Raiders said the Forbidden City is to rush early or late to shoot no one's three halls, to be honest, the Forbidden City is really even off-season are crowded, it is best to do the first to rush into the door of the person (8:30 open)

1 I took the wrong subway plus spend some time in front of the Tiananmen Square, 8:38 into the Noon Gate at this time there are already a lot of people into the Jinshuiqiao (pictured), and there are still a large wave of tour groups waiting to check tickets.
2 pm almost 4:00 when returning to the three halls found that there are also a lot of tours this time only into the Forbidden City.? So it's better to go to the Forbidden City early, right? Unless like those who carry cannons wait until the clearing.

Because I specialize in architecture, so this day my plan is in the Forbidden City, because there may be no opportunity to finish the Forbidden City, and then there is time to go to the Palace of Gongwangfu, and found that a day can not finish the Forbidden City.

This is my route, but in the end there is still the Mandarin's Palace and the Corner Tower did not go. After all, the exhibition of the Forbidden City is really still very time-consuming to see.

I'm not sure how much time I'll have to spend on the exhibits. Rented 20 dollars to explain the machine, but to be honest, not too smart, not very good (this is not very descriptive, need to experience, I also played the customer service phone number to beg?)

Noon Gate Zashilunbu Monastery Exhibition

Multi-picture warning I will follow my route to show the palace with the exhibition.

Noon Gate now has the Zashlunbu Monastery exhibition

Among the six western palaces, Xianfu Palace, Changchun Palace and Yongshou Palace are inaccessible, while the rest are accessible.


Qianqing Palace Jiaotai Hall Kunning Palace Royal Garden

Everyone is crowded in front of the Hall of the bright room to shoot the Hall of the internal plaque, so patience points of mind and so on others went to squeeze in, or grow taller will have the advantage.


Qianqing Palace Jiaotai Hall

Kunning Palace inside the queen of the emperor's happy bed? The first time I saw it, I saw it on the window, and I saw it on the window, and I saw it on the window, and I saw it on the window.


Kunning Palace

Kun Ning Palace is behind the Imperial Garden, if you did not go in, you can wait until the last out of the palace when you go in!


Palace Museum - Imperial Garden East Six Palaces

East of the six palaces in the Jingyang Palace can not go in, the rest can go in

Yanxi Palace

Ningshou Palace Treasure House

Wandering through the East Sixth Palace has been almost three o'clock, afraid of the Treasure Museum clock museum did not have time to see, it rushed to the Treasure Museum, and then finally go to the three halls.

Ning Shougong Emperor Qianlong abdicated after the retirement of the place, Huangji Hall (the first room), Le Shoutang (the second room), Yihe Xuan (the third room) is now a treasure house!

?? It is recommended that you buy tickets in advance so that you can enter directly by brushing your ID card.


Nine Dragon Wall of the Forbidden City Huangji Hall

Treasure Museum inside the exhibition to show the phoenix crown of the most people, no matter from which a small door into the huge number of people, although everyone is lined up one by one to see, but are surrounded by an exhibit for a long time to move.


Dabbing listening to the explanation, listening to others say: this exhibition is generally the first and last exhibits are very important, this bubble is the first exhibit.


People are too many, outdoor sub-zero Palace, but very hot inside! I decided to go to another exhibition

The following exhibition I forget what it is, which is slightly less people, the exhibits are indeed very fine, so people have to marvel at the craftsmanship of the ancients exquisite.

After watching this and back to the exhibition of the phoenix crown place, the result is still a lot of people, only to look at a few exhibits on the rush to go.


At this point is already three 20, only to stroll to the smooth sound of the pavilion, behind the well of the Princess Jane and other buildings do not have time to see.

Fengxian Hall - Clock Museum

All the way navigation jogging to the clock museum, just into the clock museum not long, the closure no longer allow people to enter, luck is just good, a lot of people bought a ticket can not get in, ? So you need to buy your tickets in advance? Then early to go to the treasure museum and watch museum to see. Unfortunately, I did not meet the "I in the Forbidden City to repair cultural relics," Mr. Wang Jin do show.


The Three Great Halls

Seeing that it will soon be four o'clock, this time there are staff have begun to clear the field. Immediately ran back to the three halls, the result is still a lot of tourists in one after another.

Rewalking the Forbidden City to take photos is a good choice, especially to go to the East Sixth Palace and West Sixth Palace slightly less people. I saw a lot of Thai tourists wearing Hanbok costumes to take photos.


The Hall of Supreme Harmony The Hall of Central Harmony The Hall of Bohol The Imperial Garden The Gate of Divine Wonders

To get out of the Forbidden City, you will pass through the Imperial Garden, but it's about to be cleared, so there will be a lot of people there.

There is a travel agency that advertises one-day tours to the major attractions in Beijing next to the Shenwu Gate. Interested friends can go to see, but it is best not to go, it should not be as good as online!

Out of the Shenwu Gate and the Forbidden City Corner House coffee, but unfortunately I forgot to go.


Forbidden City Museum - Imperial Garden Shenwumen Shenwumen Ju'er home

Navigate to the recommended Nanluoguxiang Ju'er's Family Marinated Meat Rice (bus stop in front of the Shenwumen), 38/serving.

You can add rice and meat! The equivalent of eating two. I ate a few cupcakes a day in the Forbidden City? , very hungry! So this set meal was a special deal and tasted good.


1.1 The Forbidden City Beihai Park

1 Start of the new year, going out and realized I dropped my room card! In the Forbidden City to pack things when dropped, call the Palace, they do not have a lost and found office, only big things lost can help find find, like ID card room card these small things, no one to take to the radio room, you generally can not find. So take good care of your valuables!

That's what I mean about planning not being able to keep up with change.

It was 9:30am when I got delayed looking for my room card. I am glad that I bought snow boots and hats to, can rest assured to go storming, go to the Forbidden City to wear boots, a day down to the ankle grinding especially painful, out of the traveling must wear comfortable shoes!

2 The day before the public can not buy tickets to the Palace of Gongwangfu, from 2020 onwards, tickets to the Palace of Gongwangfu implementation of network ticketing ???? Note the cancellation of offline ticketing, and student ID can be half-price pull.

Gongwangfu

To Gongwangfu already 10:20, according to other people's guide recommended route to play. Inside the theater heard others say will be open in the summer, but unfortunately when I went closed!

"A Gongwangfu, half of the history of the Qing Dynasty" - the exhibition will take a long time to look at, Gongwangfu is actually not much, it took? Nearly three hours?


Beihai Park

And after the meal, went to the Beihai Park near the KFC ate a set meal (I do not require high requirements for food, make do) this burger ? It's pretty good, it's hand-torn chicken.


1 Most of the parks in Beijing can buy tickets on the public number of the park, but you can not buy student tickets, I see the queue at the door is not too many people, so two o'clock after dinner to go to the queue to buy a joint ticket!

2 Inside the joint ticket, the White Pagoda and the Tuan Cheng need to check the ticket before four o'clock to enter, but the Tuan Cheng is not open, but it's a pity to spend the money and did not go in, the ticket is 7.5 for the student ID card.

The next thing is that I was in a hurry to go to the White Pagoda, in the Beihai Sea inside a detour, repeat half of the park, because I entered from the north gate!


I walked backwards to the White Pagoda, and the stairs on the way down were particularly steep, the
???? So it is recommended to enter from the south gate or the east gate, from the front to the White Pagoda, to save time.

The rest depends on the time schedule to stroll around casually (the red circle on the picture is the entrance and exit), the


At this time of the year, Beijing has already started to warm up, so it is not cold. After seeing the White Pagoda can leisurely stroll around the park, to see a long time others feed ducks and mandarin ducks and sparrows.

Walking and resting out of the park at five o'clock, a total of time-consuming? Nearly 3 hours?


Out of the park south gate can walk to the Forbidden City Northwest Corner Tower, to make up for the previous day did not see the regret of the Corner Tower!


Corner Tower 1.2 Yonghe Palace, Temple of Earth, Temple of Heaven, Temple of Heaven.

I took the subway in the opposite direction and arrived at the Yonghegong Palace at nine o'clock, and there were tons of people lined up! I waited for almost an hour to get my congee.

The point is ???? Yonghegong tickets are only cash, tickets 25, student ID 12 dollars, you can get a gift incense.

Waiting to stroll out of 11 o'clock, found that there are still left of the porridge, just came to the people do not need to line up how long to receive, may be a weekday reason, people did not have last year's more

???? Inside the exhibition is not allowed to take pictures


Temple of Earth

The Temple of Earth is near the Yonghegong Palace, a 10-minute bike ride away.

Tickets student card 1 yuan, an hour to stroll through, the afternoon to go to the Temple of Heaven so the core part of the Temple of Earth did not spend money to go in.

Inside most of them are to exercise the public, not many people, many buildings are rebuilt, do not recommend coming to the Temple of Earth!


Miao's Bun Shop

Lunch: Miao Jiawu Baozi Shop near Guozijian.

Pork buns are 5 RMB, tofu brain is 4 RMB, and the fried liver is better than Yaoji's, but I haven't tried it. Other dishes are not expensive.

Tofu brain and buns are good, buns are big and filled with meat, tofu brain is different from the Sichuan flavor.


Miu's Bun Shop Confucius Temple

To go to the Temple of Heaven, I didn't have time to go to the State Tzi Supervision and Confucius Temple, so I just walked past the entrance. These two attractions are next to each other, the State Tze Chuan from the Yonghe Palace is also close!


On the way to the Temple of Heaven, I rode my bike to Princess Hejing's house and the former site of Duan Qirui's government, but I couldn't get in, and the former site of Duan Qirui's government is now the People's University of China.

To go and Lude bought sugar gourds 6 dollars, the guide said that this sugar gourd is very authentic, indeed, no core is also quite sweet, Gao De map navigation can be found!


Hejing Princess Mansion and Lude Ice Candy Cane Tian Tan

Ice Candy Courses Temple of Heaven The Temple of Heaven Park. Public number has detailed opening hours. Attractions such as the Jaigong and the Divine Kitchen are only open Tuesday through Sunday, so the Temple of Heaven was saved for the Lunar New Year.

When I arrived at the Temple of Heaven, it was already two o'clock, and at four o'clock, the Imperial Vault and the Hall of Prayer for the Year of the Lord could not be entered, so there was not much time left for me. Tickets student card 14.


Temple of Heaven Park - Jaigong Huangduoyu Temple of Heaven Park - Hall of Prayer for the Year of Life

This was my route Tiantan East Gate has a subway station???? , so I entered through the east gate and went to the other exhibitions first leaving an hour at the end to walk the main attractions. Finally exited through the east gate.

1 The Hall of Prayers complex and Huanqiu stop checking tickets at four o'clock. The Hall of Prayer for the Year has a free explanation, just encountered the four o'clock. 4:30 almost start to clear the field

2 Zaigong, God's kitchen, Zaijia Pavilion of the exhibition can be with ID card for tickets to enter, the exhibition ends at five o'clock.

3 suggested that we enter from the south gate, first walk the main attractions: Huanqiu - the Royal Dome - Dan ah bridge - the Hall of Prayers - the Imperial Palace of Dryness, and then go to the -Huangqian Hall, and then go to the Palace of Jaeger!

4 Other according to their own time to arrange.? The Kagura Agency has to pay extra to enter

I spent a total of two and a half hours to walk through the Temple of Heaven, and now you can't see the moonflowers in "Meet the Temple of Heaven" in winter.


Jinfang Snacks

I followed the subway line and went to Jinfang Snacks, without too much introduction, there are details on the internet, the recommended creamy fried cake I think I got tired of eating a few of them!


1.3 Yuanmingyuan Summer Palace

Today was a day of sightseeing in the Xicheng District of Beijing - Yuanmingyuan and Summer Palace. Tickets combined student card 10

Yuanmingyuan is recommended to pay attention to the public number, which has the head gardener of the Yuanmingyuan attractions audio introduction. The explanation is very good!

Yuanmingyuan is too big, so I only walk Qichunyuan and the ruins of the Xiyanglou. Almost out of the garden when I went to the site of the model exhibition hall!

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get out of the park. Nine fifty into the garden, walking and listening to the explanation of a total of time? 2 and a half hours


The labyrinth I turned a whole circle to find the route to go in, we recommend that you first look at how others go in, and then follow the route of others to go in.


Many people are rushing to the Xiyanglou scenic area of Haiyan Hall and the Great Water Law, so in accordance with the south gate into the east gate out of the route to save time!


Yuanmingyuan Haiyan Hall Yuanmingyuan-Da Shui Fa

Outside the east gate in the Internet found a nearby Xi'an Noodle House, ordered a fish and meat fried rice, the portion is sufficient, a little sweet, 17 yuan, there is a bus stop in front of the noodle house can take the bus to the Summer Palace!


Summer Palace

Arrived at the Summer Palace has been two o'clock, the scenic area in front of the door does not sell tickets, for fear that you can not come to stroll, Buddha Xiangge, Wenchang courtyard tickets can only go to the scene to buy, this is quite good, will not allow you to spend a lot of money.

Tickets student card 10, Buddha Heung Pavilion 5, you can also buy tickets in advance and then the public number!


Summer Palace will take a lot of time if you want to go through the whole thing.

To not miss the important attractions, you can choose to enter from the new Palace Gate, first go to the seventeen-hole bridge, and then pass by the Wenchang courtyard.

I didn't enter Wenchang Yuan because I was afraid of running out of time. Nearby is the place where Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi lived. You can listen to other people's explanation.

Then follow the promenade to the Buddhist Pavilion.


Summer Palace - Seventeen Hole Bridge Fo Xiangge

The Pavilion of Buddha's Fragrance is very high and the stairs are very steep. You can see the Kunming Lake.

If you don't want to follow my route, we suggest you climb up to the pavilion and go out through one of the upper exits, so you don't have to go back out through the same place you came in, and you can only visit the main attractions that cost you money.


Suzhou Street is not recommended in winter, nothing to see!
Out of the East Gate Plaza is already five o'clock,? The total cost of 3 hours?

1.4 Badaling Great Wall, Xishiku, Tiananmen Square.

In order to go to the Great Wall, I stayed in Beijing for one more day.
I felt that going to the Great Wall is quite time-consuming and complicated, and I have to fly back to Chengdu on the 4th night.

So I booked a one day tour to the Great Wall online, the fare was 55 + 30 for lunch and 17.5 for the student tickets I bought from the public.

7:30 in front of the designated subway station collection (from where I live quite close), the guide will introduce you to climb the Great Wall to take the cable car!

The cable car is 140 round trip, 100 one-way, so it's cost-effective to go both ways. I would have been to climb the Great Wall, so there is no need to sit, the whole group only my own back and forth by walking.


The weather is not bad, up when the wind is not big, down when the wind, this time to buy a hat will play a role.

From the north of the first floor to the north of the eighth floor took an hour to go up, the north of the eighth floor there is the so-called good man slope, the slope is big. All the way up a lot of steep stairs are pulling the railing slowly climbed up.


From the north eight floor can choose to continue to climb the north nine floor and the back, there is a road can go down to the bear paradise, there is a bus stop.
?? There are staff on the North 8th floor that you can ask for specific directions????

I was 11:30 tour group to meet at the drop-off point, only the original way back.

Another hour slowly back to the original way, and then I was the earliest group to, so have the physical strength not accompanied by an elderly person to climb on their own, and then the Great Wall I saw a lot of elderly people climb up and then go down, the cable car is really not necessary.

The other side of the Great Wall did not have time to go to climb Unfortunately!


Lunch is really not good, the food is either sweet or sour, some cold dishes. You can choose to go to the drop-off point to eat by yourself, but eating with a group saves time.

I only chose the Great Wall this trip, at 2:00 p.m. to the Summer Palace near the fourth line of the subway station off the dismissal.

Xishiku Church

I went to Xishiku Church and Guangji Temple along line 4 for an hour.


Tiananmen Square

Arrived at Tiananmen Square subway station has been four o'clock, four and a half found everyone around the flag, Baidu searched for five o'clock or so at sunset there will be a lowering of the flag. I waited for half an hour and saw the flag lowering ceremony.


Tiananmen Tower tickets can then swim in the park to buy tickets, time reasons I did not go to Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall and Tiananmen Tower.

After watching the flag-lowering ceremony, Tiananmen Square began to clear out, in order to catch the plane I only hurry back to the hostel to get the luggage.

Six days of travel on the end of it, which have regrets, there are regrets will prompt you to come back to Beijing, next time you must come to see a flag-raising in the summer, and do not come alone, no one to talk with or quite lonely.
