2025 Beijing City Walk: Qincheng Palace, Xiannongtan, and Shencang

The Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum (Xiannongtan) has always been one of my favorite attractions. This time, I took the opportunity to buy a starry sky caisson fridge magnet and visited Xiannongtan again, as well as the newly opened Qincheng Palace and Shencang. Tickets for these three attractions are sold together, and the price is still CNY 15. Tickets are checked separately at each attraction. Qincheng Palace was originally the fasting palace of Xiannongtan, and both the main hall and the rear hall have high-level hipped roofs (Figure 4, Figure 10). When visiting Xiannongtan, you must admire the starry sky caisson and the coiled dragon caisson. The starry sky caisson fridge magnet is still available for online reservation and on-site purchase (CNY 168), while the coiled dragon caisson fridge magnet is available for on-site purchase (CNY 68). Figure 17 shows the Zhaisheng Pavilion, which is also newly opened.
