One-Day Beijing Tour | Walking Tour of Beijing Today

📖📖Itinerary Day 1: Palace Museum → Shichahai → Drum Tower → Yao Ji Chao Gan (Drum Tower Branch) → Beihai Park → Jingshan Park → Siji Minfu Roast Duck (Wangfujing Dengshikou Branch) Citywalk: One-day tour of the Palace Museum + Shichahai + Drum Tower + Beihai Park + Jingshan Park, plus authentic fried liver and roast duck! 🦆 📍Stop 1: Palace Museum Arrive at the Meridian Gate at 8:00 am sharp. Make sure to book in advance! Otherwise, you won't be able to enter. The red walls and yellow tiles are perfect for photos. 📸 It is recommended to rent an audio guide to listen to the historical stories, which is super interesting. 📍Stop 2: Shichahai A 15-minute walk from the Palace Museum. The shimmering lake is perfect for taking photos. 📍Stop 3: Drum Tower + Yao Ji Chao Gan Head straight to the Drum Tower at noon. After checking in, go to the Yao Ji Chao Gan restaurant next door. Must-try: Fried liver + steamed buns! A perfect match! Around 30 RMB per person, you can eat until you're full. 😋 📍Stop 4: Beihai Park Go boating in Beihai Park in the afternoon. 🚣‍♀️ The reflection of the White Pagoda is stunning. 📍Stop 5: Jingshan Park Be sure to come to Jingshan Park to watch the sunset in the evening. 🌅 Climb to the top of the hill and overlook the entire Palace Museum. The golden sunset casts a glow on the Forbidden City. Breathtakingly beautiful! 📍Stop 6: Siji Minfu Roast Duck Dinner must include roast duck! This Wangfujing branch has a great atmosphere. The roast duck has crispy skin and tender meat, and it's amazing dipped in sugar. Over 200 RMB per person, but definitely worth it! 💡Tips: 1⃣️ Wear comfortable shoes! You'll be walking over 20,000 steps a day. 2⃣️ Bring a power bank, taking photos drains your battery. 3⃣️ Book tickets for all attractions in advance. 4⃣️ Avoid Mondays, as many attractions are closed. 5⃣️ Don't bring a bag to the Palace Museum, or you'll be queuing forever.
