10 Things to Do in Beijing
Climb the Great Wall
2, the landmark building card (the Forbidden City, the Palace of Gongwangfu, Summer Palace Yuanmingyuan, the Bird's Nest, the Water Cube, etc.)
3, go to the art gallery, museums and other artistic sentiment, after all, the capital, where the famous paintings and antiques are other cities can not be compared to the museums
4, famous universities (Tsinghua University, to abuse me and other scum to put)
5, to go to the Bejing movie theater to see the present handsome girls, the future stars!
6、Beijing hutongs to experience the old Beijing flavor.
7, Beijing's autumn scenery can not be missed, Ditan Park Gingko Avenue, Zhanggezhuang Gingko Forest, Xiaojing Village Gingko Forest, fishing platform of the Gingko Avenue (why should we go?). Because there are a lot of people! Only by casting a wide net can we find less crowded places to take big portraits, so if you can take a picture of one place, you don't have to go to the other places. 。。。。。。 I didn't even go to the last spot)
8, taste the most authentic old Beijing shabu shabu ~ Xiyuanju old Beijing shabu shabu, by the way stroll around Dashilar. Experience the feeling of old Beijing.
9, the evening to go to the Grand Theater to see a play (later looked at the official website of the National Theatre performance table, National Day Well, to highlight the theme is not? A slip of red theater, so well, we regret not to go to card. Alas, on my political awareness, do not make a mistake)
10, experience characteristics of the store: Beijing's bar, literary coffee shop, literary bookstore (in fact, are in order to take pictures, heh heh heh heh heh, the last one did not card, I can only answer: probably be rooted in the attractions and the atmosphere, the petty sentiment side to go)
Climb the Mutianyu Great Wall
This time, I chose Mutianyu Great Wall, although the transportation back and forth a little more complicated, but because of this, less people ah! Badaling transportation is convenient, is also the most widely known one of the Great Wall, but the sea of people, if you do not want to road twists and turns, then the Badaling it; if you do not mind the crowd of shoulder to shoulder, then the Badaling it.
I think I'm super lucky ah ~ ~ ~ ~ to go to Mutianyu necessary on the highway, I initially chose Mutianyu purely to take into account the small number of people, the traffic is still convenient, did not think of eleven highway traffic jams, in fact, there is no traffic jams, I am also very grateful. So, sometimes think too much rather tied hands and feet, miss a lot of beautiful scenery, if I thought of the highway may be traffic jam, I should not choose Mutianyu.
I went earlier, a variety of shoot shoot shoot, shoot almost people began to more, although the day is relatively cold, but also drizzle, after all, National Day, the Great Wall, some people umbrellas, some people wear raincoats, some people directly wrapped in thick clothes, more and more people, 9 o'clock when there is no one to shoot the scene.
After climbing the Great Wall in the morning, take a bus back to the city in the afternoon. If you live on the Great Wall, I suggest walking directly to the car point, about 20-30min, because it is downhill, so not tired, and the asphalt road is in good condition, almost no car up, all the way to the scenery is really very beautiful, you can walk and stop to shoot.
Shichahai Night View by Bicycle
After a rest and a meal at the hotel, it was already evening, Saijuan hadn't come yet. Considering that she didn't have the strength to go out again after she arrived, and I was already bored, I packed up and rented a bike to go to the neighborhood to feel the road and familiarize myself with the environment.
Turned to the Bell and Drum Tower, and finally came to Shichahai, that many people ah, look at the opposite side of the river behind the white railing black are densely packed people.
Look at the picture of the people ah ~ ~ ~ ~ I simply do not have the desire to go in.
Climbing the Wanshou Pavilion for the camera.
In order to shoot a panoramic view of the empty Forbidden City, we went straight to Jingshan Park early in the morning, and a bunch of morning exercise Beijing grandfather and old lady into the Jingshan. Panoramic shot of the Imperial Palace, Jingshan Park, Wanshou Pavilion is the best view, we were the first to climb the Wanshou Pavilion, probably climbed half of the two of us have come up short of breath, step simply to overcome the difficulties and dangers of so difficult, behind a moncler outlet store athletic, all the way to yell the Beijing accent to catch up with us, successfully Jinji first place. If it is not to grab the best camera position, I will climb with the Great Wall as climbing breaks, we bite the bullet and climb up, and finally to the top of the fourth place.
In the Wanshou Pavilion on the sunrise shot of Beijing, due to weather reasons, shot out of the effect is not good, I feel that the haze of the reason to put, in Beijing in the past few days, although not seen the gray sky, but all the photos of the sky is not good, the photos in this travelogue are post-processing, of course, good-looking. This photo I was looking at a photographer's microblogging ideas, and portraits synthesized multiple exposure, the effect should be good.
After shooting the Forbidden City panoramic merit is complete, personally feel that Jingshan Park nothing worth special shopping, is an ordinary morning park, in the way of climbing Wanshou Pavilion will encounter Chongzhen hanged, is a pavilion, you can stop to look at it.
Crowded shopping attractions in the second ring
First went to the Prince Gong Palace, too many people, basically did not shoot, will look at it. Gong Wang Fu was Heshen's residence, it is worth mentioning that there is a rockery in the garden, I heard that Heshen Kang Xi wrote a "blessed" monument to steal the rockery in the garden, we were going to see the real thing, probably everyone thought the same as we did, that many people ah! The small rockery in three layers outside three layers crowded with people, and finally have no chance to see.
Why do they still grow vegetables in the Prince Gong's Palace? Look at the picture of the cucumber and small peppers, and other vegetables, curiosity and I envy, if I can raise flowers and vegetables in the Feng Shui treasure of the city of Beijing, I want to think of where to brag ah!
Shichahai out of a random stroll in the hutongs, I thought that this crisscrossing spider web like wires only small places in third and fourth tier cities, after all, in my small townships have not been such a picture for a long time, I did not realize that in the capital of our great country, small hutongs but is very common scenery line.
I think when I was a kid, this kind of picture was also very common in my hometown. Nowadays, urban planning, demolition everywhere, a block of commercial buildings rising, the whole city has become a large construction site, such a small house with a single door and a courtyard, except in the countryside, other places have been invisible. People, always in the backwardness of the time to aspire to urbanization, urbanization and desire to return to a simple environment to live, people are so contradictory and do not know enough.
The sunshine is really good, can't help but not shoot ah!
Yonghegong out to the North Sea, I want to spit a little, a lot of people and the Spring Festival is not similar, bought tickets to go in and have no desire to stroll, in the doorway near the rest, why this picture will be shot like this, because even the lake is full of people boat ah ~~~!
The central axis of a turn
Night blindly around Tiananmen Square on the central axis of the blind around
Tiananmen Square - the Monument to the People's Heroes is full of people, forgive me for taking such a strange picture.
Look at the standing posture of the PLA uncle and the masses. Honestly, you guys are so well-proportioned, is it because the party forces you to not eat meat?
It's getting late in the day at Tiananmen Square, and the sky is blue. I forgot to say just in time for the flag-lowering ceremony, but unfortunately, the people surrounded by the water, to the center of the flagpole as the origin of the diameter of the expansion to the outside, I simply can not squeeze in.
Stroll ah walk ah day soon all dark!
Hungry, we made a reservation by phone to eat roast duck at the Four Seasons Minfu in the nearby Dajiejie, we made the reservation too late, it took 2 hours for us to take our turn, so we were bored and strolled around Dajiejie.
We bought a candy cane to satisfy our hunger, and to pose for a picture.
Should I go in? No! I've already seen the ones in Hong Kong.
The production process of roast duck is completely transparent, its kitchen is open, from the large floor-to-ceiling glass wall you can see the whole production process. I first learned that Beijing roast duck is both extravagant and wasteful, a whole duck nearly 300, half a portion of more than 100 dollars, but the chef only sliced a small part of the skin, the rest of all the meat are thrown directly into the trash! I was watching from outside the wall, my heart was aching! I don't care to eat roast duck, it is said that the performance of Quanjude, which is such a big company, is less than one-third of the performance of Jiemei Duck Neck, which is a waste of the brand. I'm going to go eat shabu-shabu.
Xiyuanju Old Beijing Shabu Shabu (Qianmen Branch) ~ Going for a feast!
I had planned a variety of food experiences before coming to Beijing. I was especially craving for the Old Beijing Shabu Shabu, which was recommended by the owner of the inn, and is said to be a long-established restaurant with unchanged quality that old Beijingers often go to. The actual fact is that the actual actual actuality is actually a lot more than the actual actuality.
Beijing's traditional hot pot, the soup base is just boiling water, add some scallions, ginger and goji berries. It's really a clean stream compared to the colorful soup base we usually eat. It may seem like the soup base doesn't do much for the shabu-shabu, but it's a great way to savor the original flavor of the lamb!
Xiyuanju Old Beijing Shabu Shabu's favorite ingredient is the sesame sauce, which they say is the flavor of Beijing! With the addition of fermented bean curd, chives, shrimp oil, and cilantro foam (which can be added or not according to personal preference), it's both fresh and salty, and has a thick and satisfying texture! Each table is also equipped with a free cell phone charging line, very convenient.

Xiyuanju Old Beijing Shabu Shabu
Xiyuanju Old Beijing Shabu Shabu is mainly made with lamb and beef from their cooperative ranch in the grasslands of Sunit, Inner Mongolia. There are many kinds of lamb, all of which are hand-cut and fresh, each with a different texture and a small amount of fat. The meat is delicate, with a little fat but not greasy. The house Hundred Days Lamb and Lamb Melon Strips should be one of the store's specialties, and are said to be a must-order dish for Beijing-style shabu-shabu. Shabu-shabu is served in a clear soup pot, and has a tender and elastic texture, with the meat juices popping out of the fibrous crevices, and becoming more and more fragrant the more you chew. The flavor sucks in the aftertaste.
Saijuan didn't have the energy to continue shopping, and I still had a few more night spots to check out, so Saijuan and I split up, with her taking her packing box back to the hotel to rest, and me carrying my camera to continue checking out the sights.
I'm sorry, my political consciousness is low, I've already forgotten what these buildings are called.
Walking around the two gardens in the hot sun
Originally, the two parks and Tsinghua University is arranged for 2 days, but because of the two parks too many people, where to limit the flow of people, inside the people out, outside the people can go in, a wave after a wave, want to stop and look at a little more will be pushed forward by the back of the people, and the production of goods line with the assembly line like, walk and look at the end of the two parks in the morning only to the past half of the morning, there are still most of the day time on the temporary decision to look at the Tsinghua University.
Tour groups must be introduced to the seventeen-hole bridge We went to the Summer Palace when almost no one, and so we turned around and came back, about 9:30 like, there has been a sea of people, the picture below is what we turned back to shoot, the bridge is full of people.
The sunshine is good, the sunshine is good, not much to say, let me pose for 2 pictures!
Summer Palace out to go to the Yuanmingyuan, this is not so good luck, this point to go crowded, good thing I fancy are other people ignored the place!
Came to the remains of the heavy history, do not forget, self-improvement!
Yuanmingyuan
Yuanmingyuan after dinner riding a bicycle straight to Tsinghua, we are super lucky, from a small door to go in, all the way unimpeded, and then we know because the National Day to visit the school is too many people, tourists have to line up to check the ID card to fill out the registration form, but also limited to the time period to go in, and then go to Peking University will not be so good luck, circling around the walls of all the side doors are not willing to go into the door can only go from the door to go into the provisions of the We went to the only open door for tourists, the queue out of the long, and leave the release time there are more than 2 hours, people can not leave, we lined up for half an hour, the back and then picked up a long queue, the sun is really bad, weighed the decision to come back next time.
Dinner was a casual affair. Eat and drink enough we head to the Bird's Nest Water Cube card.
Because I wanted to take a panoramic picture of the Bird's Nest and Water Cube, Saijuan and I split into two, she went to visit the Bird's Nest and Water Cube, while I pedaled my bike up to the elevated building, looking for a perfect vantage point. On the internet, I found the best place to shoot on the overpass next to the subway station. I sneaked up there and found a row of tall trees blocking my view in the high speed traffic, which didn't make for a good shot. So I went into the surrounding high-rise buildings, turned around and realized that I couldn't go up to the rooftop of the commercial building, and I couldn't get into the residential building at all. Finally found the best vantage point, is the nearby Olympic Tower, look at the price of admission, I finally choose to give up!
Only photographed the Bird's Nest, the most widely circulated online photo is the Bird's Nest together with the reflection of the lake, however, I turned around and did not see the lake, I have walked a lot of road paralyzed with fatigue, but also do not want to look for, the Water Cube did not have the strength to shoot.
This picture was taken on the street bridge next to the Bird's Nest and Water Cube.
Before going to bed last night, Saijuan said she wanted to go to the Great Wall at Badaling. I asked her why she wanted to go to the Great Wall again, and Saijuan said that she was despised by Xiao Ke, and that not visiting the Great Wall was the same as not visiting Beijing. Xiao Ke is also our college roommate, and Saijuan has been broadcasting the progress of the trip to her along the way. Okay, so I'm going to punch in alone today.
I went to the Temple of Heaven early in the morning just to take pictures of the empty Temple of Heaven.
The main thing I wanted to photograph was the Hall of Prayer for the Year of the Dragon, which is the long, long avenue leading to the Hall of Prayer for the Year of the Dragon. The spires protruding behind the three doors in the photo below are the Hall of Prayer for the Year of the Dragon, which can be seen from a long way off.
There is an hour before the door opens, first shot around the scene, close to the wall can see the Hall of Emperor Qian and the Hall of Prayer for the year in a corner.
Have to wait a long time, I played in the door of the self-timer, well ~ ~ ~ ~ shot some ugly, will not put out to scare people!
I was the first one to rush in and take this photo when the main door of the Hall of Prayer opened, but I realized that the staff had already been hanging around inside. They went in through which door?
Then I opened the selfie mode, I hid in the crowd put down the cell phone tripod, motionless walk over to take a picture walk back to retrieve the tripod, the whole process of a one-two punch line of water, as if it had never happened!
When I came to Huanqiu, I could only shoot like this. Here is a very famous echo wall, is a thick round wall, I heard that two people stood on the opposite side of the wall, a person close to the wall whispering, the other person can hear clearly. I see a lot of people in the test, I do not know if it is really possible, if you are curious, you can go to try.
Walking around to the North Causeway, a street away from the South Causeway, but it is very quiet, basically not many people.
There are a lot of cats in this restaurant, a lot of people dining, but the flavor is a little.
Art Museum out of the bus stop waiting for the car to see an uncle on the ground practicing writing, writing really good, I did not practice writing when I was a child, and now write like a crab, there have been people to comment on my writing and three-year-olds in general. So I especially admire people who write well, the bus went one after another, and I do not want to leave.
leisurely stroll through the Forbidden City
Today is the last day of the trip, the reason why the most important of the Forbidden City to the last, I am also after careful consideration, a variety of weighing the pros and cons of a careful decision.
Through the Tiananmen Square and then go to the Forbidden City's Noon Gate, the tour of the Forbidden City is a one-way tour from south to north, the Noon Gate into the Shenwumen out, of course, if you are physically fit, you can walk inside the Forbidden City inside the North and South to go back and forth a few times. Out of the Forbidden City Shenwumen across the street is Jingshan Park, oh yes, also separated from a moat, look up and see the opposite side of the Wanshou Pavilion on the long guns on this side of the shot.
Because the Forbidden City, the most important axis can not shoot, then just walk around. We bought a joint ticket, including the Museum of clocks and watches and treasures, the Museum of clocks and watches have a clock show, respectively, 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each one, 3min. strongly recommended to visit the Museum of treasures and clocks and watches, absolutely worth the price of the ticket.
Not much to say, directly on the picture. I have forgotten what these are the temple, I am the legend, the right ear into the left ear out of the people, listened to forget, no culture is shameful, we do not learn from me ha.
The Forbidden City
former imperial palace
former imperial palace
The Forbidden City! I'm wearing a yellow dress again, which goes best with the red walls of the Forbidden City!
The Forbidden City
I find this scene in the Forbidden City very interesting. In the Forbidden City, such a solemn thick rhyme place, see full of modern life atmosphere of the engineering scene, feel quite antagonistic, borrowing "I am in the Forbidden City to repair artifacts" flirtation, I think it is very interesting.
The Forbidden City, this long walkway, shocked me, both sides of the high red wall fully interpreted what is called "lonely empty court in spring"!
The following 2 jigsaw puzzle is in the clock museum and treasure museum shot, the photo can not reflect the essence of one million percent, must see with their own eyes, must see with their own eyes, must see with their own eyes, must see with their own eyes, important words said three times!
This chair is so unimpressive, made of antlers, I'm a whale, imagine my whale-eating face!
Ha, out of the Treasure House and the Clock House, two more poses!
And finally, a triple shot with Saijuan!
After 7 months, I finally finished the travelogue of my Beijing trip, but I still have a lot of memories about the imperial city. I'll share them with you next time!
