Introduction Beijing Siheyuan Tour

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Visiting a Siheyuan in Beijing is a cultural exploration through time and space, taking people into the depths of history of this ancient capital and feeling the unique charm and profound cultural heritage of traditional Chinese dwellings. The architectural style and decorative details of the Siheyuan embody the essence of traditional Chinese culture. From the gate to the hanging flower gate, from the windows to the eaves, every place is exquisitely carved with beams and painted with paintings. Auspicious patterns such as bats, longevity characters, and vases imply happiness and longevity, and peace in all seasons, showing the yearning and pursuit of the old Beijingers for a better life. In Beijing, there are many well-known Siheyuans to visit, such as Prince Gong's Mansion, Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall, Qi Baishi's Former Residence, etc. These Siheyuans are not only well-preserved, but also incorporate rich historical and cultural connotations, becoming an important window for tourists to understand Beijing's history and experience traditional culture.

Is Shichahai really worth visiting?

Is Shichahai really worth visiting?

✨Efficient and not tiring tour of Shichahai (it's best to come around just before noon) Start from the small alley next to the south gate of the Lotus Flower Market, where you can first encounter 'Sanhe Daoxiang Village'. There are several Daoxiang Village shops here, and you can choose to buy specialties as needed Following the path, you can see 'Nanmen Shuanrou'! Remember to get a number first because you can only get a number offline and the waiting time starts from at least an hour and a half After getting the number, continue along the path, cross the small bridge to the opposite bank to find 'Sugar House Coffee'. Here you can enjoy the air conditioning, have a cup of coffee, and enjoy the moment of tranquility. After a short rest, you can go and eat authentic old Beijing instant-boiled mutton. Additionally, the Lotus Flower Market has many interesting cultural and creative shops and photo shoot spots. After eating, it's also great to stroll around the lively market. Wait until the evening sunset to return to Shichahai, find the Yinding Bridge to watch the sunset, and wait for the sea of orange, it's really beautiful! 🎙Introduction: Shichahai is a historical and cultural tourism scenic area and a historical and cultural preservation area in Beijing. Located in the central urban area of Xicheng District, it is the largest and most intact historical district in Beijing. Shichahai includes three bodies of water: Qianhai, Houhai, and Xihai (also known as Jishuitan) and the adjacent areas, echoing the 'Front Sanhai', commonly known as 'Back Sanhai'. Shichahai is also written as 'Shicha Sea'. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has become a place for leisure and summer retreat, and is one of the famous scenic spots in Yanjing 💕Tips: If you want to take a boat tour, there are several ports, but you generally have to queue for a long time, and it's super hot to tour the lake in hot weather, so be prepared for sun protection to prevent heatstroke Many bars in Houhai are traps, don't get tricked To get a good seat at Sugar House Coffee, you need to go early and wait Nanmen Shuanrou serves too much food, so order less

The Beijing LEGO is truly exclusive to Beijing!

The Beijing LEGO is truly exclusive to Beijing!

I finally arrived at the other side of the Anywhere Door - Beijing, and during my trip here, I discovered that the LEGO here is also very distinctive, and it feels like it should be exclusive to Beijing, fitting perfectly with the city. The characteristic scenery of Beijing can also be represented through LEGO, with garden architecture featuring little bridges and flowing water, Qing dynasty figures carrying a sedan chair, and lifelike tall pagodas. Suddenly, I realized that the wonderful world of LEGO really is capable of anything. Coming to the LEGO store in Beijing, I felt like I had arrived at a miniature version of Beijing's scenic spots. LEGO is truly a toy that can cultivate hands-on skills while also increasing knowledge through play. This LEGO store on Beijing's Wangfujing Street is filled with Chinese flair, with LEGO-built ancient Chinese architectural style gates that have clear and realistic patterns. Familiar Chinese elements include the national treasure panda, lotus ponds, flower bridges, the Great Wall, Chinese dragons, stone lions, couplet plaques, mountain temples, and so on. Chinese aesthetics truly make our lives more wonderful.

Gui Jie (Ghost Street)

Many restaurants are open 24 hrs, but the street is at its most lively in the evenings. This mile-long food street features more than 150 restaurants and has been serving up late night noms since the Qing Dynasty. With its iconic red lanterns, it’s difficult to miss and provides a lively night market experience that won’t break the bank. The restaurants here serve specialties from all over China, with some of the most popular being crayfish, bullfrog, hotpot, and chuan chuan (spicy skewers in soup). Our tour guide bought us here. He said this is the place where locals comes for eats and drinks after dark, thus the name. The spicy small lobsters are very good. Remember to ask for the mild spice level. It is already extremely spicy for almost everybody in my opinion. The lobsters are to be ordered in quantities of 10. #beijingtrip #urbanexplorer #cityoverlook

Beijing's Hutongs are also full of culture and art

Beijing's Hutongs are also full of culture and art

Dongsi's new hutong reminds me of Yangzhou🏮 My impression of Yangzhou is of ancient yet bustling alleys. Just like the hutongs of Qianmen and Dongsi in Beijing, There is the bustling Dongguan Street, and the leisure of Pishi Street. In Li Bai's poems, Yangzhou is romantic. And the "Yangzhou Slow" that floats from Song Ci to the streets, Was once the nocturne of the Twenty-Four Bridges, And the "idle immortals" in the alleys, No matter how tall the buildings are, the simple and self-consistent feelings remain🍵 So I returned to the hutong to listen to this "Beijing Slow". This art courtyard, transformed from an old factory in Dongsi, Is full of lanterns and people, with music, chess, poetry, painting, wine, and tea inside. ⛩️In the "temple" exhibiting intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving art, I listened to the barista telling stories about rare good beans and the production process, As precious as the good wine you have drunk. The senior drinking coffee across from me, Unwrapped his package while talking, and played "Three Variations on the Plum Blossom" on the guqin. The young lady who came from afar, I don't know when she started playing the handpan, The ensemble was so wonderful! I couldn't help but applaud the high mountains and flowing water👏 🪟Next to Dongsi South Street, There is an exhibition space and delicious food and wine downstairs, And a unique art hotel on the second floor. Look up to see "Jianxi" when going upstairs; "Da Yin" in the corridor. In the room, I looked out the window at the old street with big trees, and the tea was still warm after a while🍵 This quietness in the midst of the hustle and bustle, Is the romance of "drunk young people, half taking off the purple velvet robe", And also the "slow" of old Beijing. 🧨In the dim lights, it's New Year again ☕️Hand-brewed coffee|Intangible cultural heritage bamboo exhibition "Four Years Three Centimeters" 📍Dongsi Subway Station Exit C, 100 meters south 🛏️New Chinese style, humanistic theme art hotel 🌯Old Beijing🍱cuisine🍔burgers🍹cocktails
