| Cost-effective guide. 3 days and 2 nights for 2 people, over 1k per person (accommodation and transportation take up most of the cost) Accommodation: Hejia Hotel (Anzhenqiao Branch). I don't know why such a good chain hotel is called a hotel. Before going, I thought it was a hotel and didn't have high expectations. When I arrived, I was amazed. The front desk had 3 or 4 service ladies who were very polite. ⭐️p1 Summer Palace. This view is like a painting. Super beautiful and photogenic. No photography skills are needed. ✅ The key is that no one is queuing up to check in. ❗️Just go and take photos. ⭐️p2 Badaling Great Wall. This is the queue for the Haohan Stele. Queue for half an hour and take photos for 3 minutes. It is recommended to take photos when you go out. There is no need to queue. ✅ For those who are not physically fit to take photos, go to South 1 North 1.2.3.4. ⭐️p3 Tiananmen Square. The flag-raising ceremony was too rushed, so I went to the flag-lowering ceremony. You can enter during the time period. ✅ You need to make a reservation in advance. ⭐️p4 Temple of Heaven. You can't enter the scenic spots on the central axis route without a joint ticket, but you can take photos of the tower next to it. ✅ A regular ticket is just for visiting the park. ⭐️p5.6 Summer Palace. It is very big, but it is really beautiful. It is the same place as p1. There are many beautiful views. ✅ There are many check-in points that you can explore by yourself. There is no need to wait in line. If you don't want to take a detour, you must plan your route. ⭐️p6-p9 are special foods. I went to the popular Yin San Dou Zhi. I didn't like it. The copper pot hot pot is good. The fried noodles and braised noodles are large in quantity and taste good. ✅ It depends on personal preference. Try the main specialties. I went to many places and took many photos, but I couldn't fit them all. I personally think the beautiful scenery is worth sharing. ps: The Forbidden City is really beautiful, but they are all palaces. The Lama Temple is also a palace. ❗️❗️Plan your time well. ❗️Many scenic spots need to be reserved in advance. ❗️Most scenic spots stop admission before 5 pm, so scenic spots should be arranged in the morning, noon, and afternoon. The scenic spots are very large, and the journey is very far. The subway transfer is really far.

| You must wear a hanfu to the Forbidden City to take a photo of a lifetime. ❓ First, can you still take photos in ancient costumes at the Forbidden City? Yes! The Palace Museum in Beijing no longer allows commercial photography, but it does not prohibit wearing ancient costumes or taking photos. ❗️ ✅ Visitors can find a makeup artist or do their own makeup, bring a camera, and wear a hanfu to the Forbidden City to take photos. ❗️ But there are precautions to follow. 🔹 Clothing requirements: Long trailing Ming Dynasty clothing, floor-length capes, and anything that drags on the ground is not allowed. ❌ 🔹 Photography restrictions: Selfie sticks, tripods, reflectors, and other professional photography equipment are not allowed. ❌ 🔹 Prop restrictions: Don't bring a lot of props, oil-paper umbrellas, or hand warmers. If you bring them, you will be asked to store them and line up again. ❌ 🔹 Staff at the Forbidden City will ask about the relationship between visitors. Check the official website of the Forbidden City for the latest announcements before visiting to get the most accurate information. 📸 Photography guide: 🔹 It is not recommended to wear a Manchu costume in the Forbidden City. If you do, wear a phoenix coronet and robe, or a luxurious queen costume. Take a photo of a lifetime! 🔹 Posing: There are no fixed poses. The main thing is to stand tall, dignified, and elegant, with a firm gaze to show the aura of the phoenix coronet and robe, and the luxurious costume. 🔹 Camera angle: The Forbidden City has a strong sense of history. It is recommended to take large scenes from a low angle, with white jade railings, majestic palaces, and grandeur, as if traveling through a hundred years, which can also show the elegance and nobility of the character. 🔹 Shooting time: Near closing time, at sunset, there are fewer people and better lighting. If it snows, it will be even more beautiful! ⚠️ More and more places in Beijing will not allow commercial photography in the future. Take photos while you can!

As a southerner, I wanted to experience winter in Beijing. Due to time constraints, I could only arrange a 4-day, 3-night itinerary. I recorded the route and food of this trip with the Round Tour app. It's my life location collection machine 🎥 🔶𝗱𝗮𝘆𝟭: Daxing Airport➔Hotel➔Temple of Heaven 🔶𝗱𝗮𝘆𝟮: Summer Palace➔National Museum of China➔Qianmen Street 🔶𝗱𝗮𝘆𝟯: Great Wall➔Jingshan Park➔Nanluoguxiang 🔶𝗱𝗮𝘆𝟰: Tiananmen Square➔White Pagoda Temple➔Daxing Airport 🍲Food: ❶Nanmen Hot Pot ❷Dahuai Tree BBQ ❸Quanjude ❹Xiaodiao Pear Soup 🧋Milk tea and snacks: ❶Longyan Tea Shop ❷Shunshieryin ❸Mending Meat Pie ❹Any braised food from a random delivery service is delicious ❺Huguosi Snacks ❻Yinsan Douzhi 🔖Reservations: 🔺Forbidden City [7 days in advance, 8 pm] [Closed on Mondays] [Last entry at 3:30 pm] 🔺Jingshan Park [Same-day reservations available] [Last entry at 7:30 pm] 🔺Tiananmen Tower [1 day in advance] [Closed on Mondays] [Last entry at 4 pm] 🔺Tiananmen Square [Same-day reservations available] (Don't forget to download the certificate from the mini program after visiting) 🔺National Museum of China [7 days in advance] [Last entry at 4 pm] 🔺Great Wall [Same-day reservations available] 🔺Summer Palace [1 day in advance] [Some courtyards are closed on Mondays] 🧶Clothing: Before going, I was shivering at the thought of the temperature in Beijing being below -10°C. When I arrived, I found that the dry cold in the north is really different from the wet cold in the south. As long as there is no wind, it is not as cold as 0°C in the south. It may also be that southerners are more resistant to the cold. I didn't use any of the warm baby, hand warmer, or heated insoles I prepared. I could even wear small leather shoes and wander around Beijing. 🧥Upper body: Thermal underwear➕Thin sweater➕Coat/Down jacket (If you go to the Great Wall, you must wear a down jacket and a hat and scarf) 👖Lower body: Thermal pants➕Jeans 🧣Other equipment: Scarf➕Hat➕Gloves. As long as you don't expose your skin, you will be much warmer. The trip to Beijing was really great. I'll go again in autumn! I hope everyone has a happy trip~🌈

I came to Beijing just for the Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing, Beijing. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. The price is one of the top in China, so I had to go and stay there. - 📍 The Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing is located in Caocang Hutong near Qianmen, Beijing. The blue bricks, gray walls, and red doors preserve the nostalgia and the local atmosphere. It is a 15-minute walk to Qianmen Street and is also very close to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. There are still original residents in this area, and the room you stay in may be next to a courtyard where old Beijingers live, or a private courtyard, which is a very unique experience. The fan at the Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing is very special. It looks like Chinese characters you don't recognize, but it actually says "Unveil Beijing's Soul" in English. - 🛏️ 42 courtyard rooms are hidden in the hutongs from Caocang 3rd Alley to Caocang 10th Alley, each of which is a few hundred meters long. Each room is an old Beijing courtyard with a separate entrance. There are L-shaped (two-room) and U-shaped (three-room) rooms, ranging in size from 103 to 525 square meters, and no two rooms are exactly the same. - The Mandarin Oriental Courtyard I stayed in is a superior room type, U-shaped, with three rooms: a bedroom, a living room, and a bathroom, as well as a separate tea room and a persimmon tree in the yard. The room is designed in a new Chinese style, retro yet modern. Traditional courtyards have small windows, but the Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing has replaced them with large floor-to-ceiling windows. There are two mini bars, one in the living room and one in the tea room. The porcelain is from Royal Copenhagen, and all the drinks are free, including Jing-A craft beer and Beibingyang soda. The toiletries are from the French brand Frédéric Malle, which I have never seen before. There is also a Mandarin Oriental toiletry bag, which I took with me. The welcome fruit and pastries were very generous. The turndown service included a hat and a Mandarin Oriental bookmark. I think the hat was given to me because they knew I had signed up for the hotel's Central Axis cycling event the next day. There were also many cats in my courtyard. - 💆 Public area Mainly concentrated in Caocang 10th Alley and 9th Alley. The hotel lobby was converted from a former courtyard, and there is a 130-year-old maple tree and a 100-year-old Chinese toon tree in the middle of the courtyard. If you are not staying, you can have afternoon tea here. The spa is also in the courtyard.

This is probably the most beautiful lakeside hotel I've ever seen! A fairyland! Visit a lakeside hotel by the lotus pond 🌸✨ ❤️I created content about this lakeside hotel because I really like it. I selected 36 photos and will post them in 2 articles. If you like it, remember to come back the next day! This lakeside hotel is located in the center of the lotus pond and is as beautiful as a painting. The restaurant is built by the water, and you can enjoy the beautiful view of the lotus pond while dining, which will increase your appetite. The room is even more amazing. You can see the lotus pond view while lying on the bed. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are in a fairyland when you enter here! It is really intoxicating! When I saw these pictures, I thought to myself that no wonder Li Qingzhao was so obsessed with the lotus pond, intoxicated and lost her way, and returned late after having fun. The depictions in those poems are really fascinating when you savor them in this scene! This is what a fairyland is like ❤️

69 Fangzhuanchang Zhajiangmian, or No. 69 Fangzhuanchang Zhajiangmian, a black noodle shop or jajangmian. This shop has many branches all over Beijing. There were a lot of people queuing up. Today we came to eat at the Wangfujin branch. We came at noon and waited for 20 minutes. You can scan and order at the table or call the staff. We ordered the shop's No. 1 set, which costs 38 yuan. The noodles and black sauce mixed with pork taste salty and oily. It's delicious. The side dishes that come with it can be refilled with noodles, sauce, and vegetables. We recommend ordering the stir-fried cucumber menu. It cuts the greasiness very well. If you come to Beijing, we recommend you to come and try it. 🕰️Opening hours: 10:00-21:30 📍Address: 69 Fangzhuanchang Zhajiangmian, you can search for it. There are many branches. 💰Average price per person: 38 yuan or 200+ baht #Beijing #Beijing restaurants #Get discounts without relying on luck

⛳The Forbidden City in Beijing is a must-see for its exquisite ancient architecture and rich cultural heritage. As the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is the largest museum of ancient Chinese culture and art. Many people dream of visiting the Forbidden City in Hanfu and taking beautiful photos! 🍁I visited the Forbidden City in early winter and was amazed by this national treasure. It was once the center of power in ancient China, and now we can visit it. I decided to visit the Forbidden City in Hanfu to fulfill my wish. Here are 10 things you need to know before you go: 1⃣️Prepare your own clothes: The Forbidden City is mainly decorated with glazed tiles, vermilion walls, and white marble bridges. Choose colors that match, such as red, purple, white, or dark green. Hanfu and Manchu clothing are both good choices. 2️⃣Rent clothes: There are many Hanfu rental shops in front of the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City, with varying prices. I rented a Ming-style Hanfu for a whole day for CNY 398/set (including makeup, headwear, and shoes) and a cloak for CNY 99. 3⃣️Arrive early if you rent clothes: Makeup and styling take 2 hours. We started at 9:30 am and finished at 11:30 am. The makeup and styling were good, and I felt like I had traveled back in time. 4⃣️Tickets: Be sure to book in advance and bring your ID card to enter the palace. 5⃣️Route: Follow this route and focus on the highlights: Meridian Gate - Gate of Supreme Harmony - Hall of Supreme Harmony - Hall of Central Harmony - Hall of Preserving Harmony - Cining Palace - Shoukang Palace - Cining Palace Garden - Duanhong Bridge - Wuying Hall - Wenhua Hall - Donghua Gate. 6⃣️White marble, palace gates, red pillars: There are fewer tourists on the left side after passing the Meridian Gate. The light is softer in the afternoon. 7⃣️Red walls, steps: The red walls on the west side of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the Golden Throne Hall in the Forbidden City are great photo spots. Take photos with white marble carvings, bases, railings, etc., for a grand scene. 8⃣️Glazed walls, Imperial Garden: There are glazed walls deep in the six palaces, and the Imperial Garden has many scenic spots, such as walls and pavilions, for unique photos. The Treasure Hall entrance, Nine Dragon Wall, and Huangji Hall are also great photo spots. 9⃣️Lighting: The light is softest around 4 pm, but the Forbidden City starts to clear out after 4 pm, so make sure to take your photos in time. 🔟Prohibited: Light reflectors are not allowed, and photos are not allowed on the central axis.

If you're looking for an uncrowded and interesting museum in Beijing, I highly recommend this museum in Yanqing! Not only is it free to visit, but there are almost no people on weekends, making it a hidden gem. The museum is divided into three floors, showcasing the historical changes and some cultural relics of Yanqing from ancient times to the present. Although there are no particularly rare exhibits, the exhibition is very well-curated and rich in content, making it especially suitable for those who want to learn about the history of Yanqing. You can see traces of prehistoric human activity, construction during the Han, Tang, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the Guichuan Eight Views that have been passed down for over 500 years, and even the historical stories of Red Pingbei. Walking through the exhibition halls, you can almost feel the distant history right in front of you. There are also exhibitions on the history and culture of the central axis, folk customs, and a topographic model with scenic spot names marked. The content of the three-story building is not tiring at all, but rather leaves you wanting more. What surprised me the most was that the closing time is so late! If I had known earlier, I would have visited the night before. The museum is closed on Mondays. From May to September, it is open from 10:30 to 21:00, and from October to April, it is open from 10:00 to 20:30, with the last entry at 19:30. You only need to bring your ID card to register and enter the museum, with no reservation required. In short, this museum is definitely worth a visit to learn about the long history of this "remote suburban district" and experience a different cultural journey!

Tips at the end ⚠️ I went on New Year's Eve, and there were a lot of people, so many guardrails were installed. Now some of them have been removed, and there are fewer people, so it's easier to take photos. Because there were so many people, I parked in the temporary parking lot on the east side of the park. There are fewer people on weekdays, so you can park in the park's parking lot. Overall, it was quite impressive, and the New Year's Eve event was great. 1. Opening Mapping Show 2.

Visiting the Forbidden City in winter requires some extra preparation to ensure a comfortable and safe travel experience. Here are some things to keep in mind when visiting the Forbidden City in the cold season: Keep warm: Beijing's winter is very cold and dry, with temperatures often dropping below zero. It is recommended to choose warm clothing, such as down jackets and wool sweaters, and wear hats, scarves, and gloves to protect your head and hands from frostbite. Footwear: Since the ground may become slippery due to ice and snow, it is especially important to choose shoes with good slip resistance. Thick-soled rubber shoes or boots with deep treads can help you walk more steadily on ice or snow. Sunscreen and lip balm: Even in winter, UV rays can still be strong, especially when the sun is reflected off the snow. Applying sunscreen and carrying lip balm can help prevent sunburn and chapped skin. Stay hydrated: Indoor heating can make the air very dry, so carry a water bottle with you to stay hydrated, and use a moisturizing spray to keep your skin hydrated. Plan your time wisely: Winter days are shorter, and the Forbidden City will have shorter opening hours. It is recommended to check the exact opening and closing times in advance to avoid missing the best time to visit. Photography equipment: If you plan to take photos, be aware that camera and cell phone batteries tend to drain quickly in cold environments, so bring a power bank or spare batteries, and keep your electronic devices warm to avoid malfunctioning due to the cold. Check the weather forecast: Check the weather conditions before you leave, and if there is an extreme weather warning, adjust your itinerary to ensure your safety. With the above preparations, you can better enjoy the unique scenery of the Forbidden City in winter and appreciate the tranquility and solemnity that is different from other seasons. Remember to follow the rules of the attraction, respect the cultural heritage, visit in a civilized manner, and leave with good memories.

Recently, I went to a relaxing place - Xiwang Hot Spring, and I feel this is a paradise for workers 🎉 As soon as you enter the store, you get a clean and comfortable feeling. On the first floor, you can take a bath, scrub, and soak in the hot spring. 💆‍♀️ I have to say that the master's scrubbing and massage techniques are really professional, and they can accurately relieve every tension in the body 🥳 After soaking, the whole person feels comfortable! Going up to the second floor, it feels like entering another world. The fruits, drinks, and 🍦 ice cream in the self-service area are free to enjoy, and achieving fruit freedom is not a dream! 🎮 You can also play chess and cards in the lobby, and have fun with friends. Of course, 🦶 foot massage is also essential, it is so comfortable that sleepiness comes instantly, it is simply a sleep aid artifact. I have to mention the huge 🌸 cherry blossom tree on the second floor, which is beautiful under the warm yellow light, and 📸 taking photos is particularly good. The tatami rest area is even more comfortable, and I feel very comfortable just staying here quietly for a while 😌 The package here 💰 is very cost-effective, and you can order food on-site, 👩‍🍳 all made by chefs on the spot, refusing pre-made dishes, I tried it, and every dish is delicious 💥 If you also want to find a place to relax your body and mind, Xiwang Hot Spring is worth visiting! Especially for workers, 🐮 cattle and horses should also love themselves well! 🏠 Name: Xiwang Hot Spring 📍 Location: No. 01-122, 1st Floor, Building 1, No. 22 Courtyard, Jinghai 7th Road
