As a southerner, I wanted to experience winter in Beijing. Due to time constraints, I could only arrange a 4-day, 3-night itinerary.

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.

#ChinaTravelMoment #NationalMuseum #China3MajorMuseums #TiananmenSquare I visited the National Museum, one of China's three major museums in Tiananmen Square. I tried to make a reservation for free admission to the museum through WeChat mini-program, but there were no tickets due to the Qingming Festival holiday. I reserved a special exhibition of Greek cultural relics for 120 yuan and entered. I finally got a precious ticket after clicking and clicking for several hours for the cancellation tickets. Whenever I visit various provincial capitals in China, I try to visit museums whenever possible, but the scale of the National Museum seemed to be the best among them. There were many cultural relics worth seeing because it was so big. I had to take a train, so I only visited for about 4 and a half hours, but I didn't have enough time. The security check line before entering Tiananmen Square was long and there were many controlled roads, so I needed to arrive at least 30 minutes earlier than the entrance time. It was so hard to get in that I don't think I'll go next time. Haha

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Another place we want to visit if we come to Beijing is the National Museum of China because it is considered one of the largest museums in the world. Tickets must be booked through the museum's WeChat, so we have to check often because they fill up very quickly. Before entering, we have to go through a very tight security system, which is understandable since it is next to Tiananmen Square and near the Forbidden City. The interior is very large, we could not even walk around all day. We chose to visit the zone of antiques from many dynasties, and there is a zone that tells the story of Chinese coins and money from ancient times to the present. One of the highlights that we really liked was the zone where we could view the 4D exhibition. We had to put on glasses and go see the work of an Italian painter (sorry, I can't remember the artist's name). It was an exciting experience. In addition to history, there is also a zone that talks about China's future plans, where they are going, which gave us a broader picture of the country. We left feeling like we understood China in many dimensions more and felt that this was a museum that was truly worth a visit. 🕰️bOpening hours: Closed on Mondays and public holidays 📍Address: Located in Tiananmen Square ⸻ #BeijingTravel #ChinaTravel #Beijing #BeijingTravelByYourself

Beijing: Dequan Hotel (Beijing Railway Station Guangqumenwai Metro Station) 德全酒店(北京火车站广渠门外地铁站店) 2. Tianjin: Borrman Hotel (Tianjin Railway Station) 柏曼酒店 (天津火车站） The trip to Beijing and Tianjin was a perfect blend of the ancient and the modern. In Beijing, I was impressed by the grandeur of the Forbidden City, the magnificence of the Great Wall, and the solemn atmosphere at the Temple of Heaven. The city preserves its traditional Chinese spirit, from architecture to cuisine—with iconic dishes like Peking duck and savory meat-filled dumplings. Leaving Beijing, I took a high-speed train to Tianjin—only about 30 minutes, but a memorable experience. Tianjin has a distinctly European charm with French and Italian-style buildings lining the Haihe River. The city feels open and modern, perfect for strolling, relaxing, and tasting local street food like fried buns stuffed with meat or hand-pulled noodles. #beijing #tianjin

#discoverchina #BeijingDiaries #SunsetMagic #TravelAdventures Today, I embarked on a self-guided walking tour from the iconic Tiananmen Square to the charming Qianmen Street, and it was nothing short of enchanting! As I strolled through the square, the historical significance and grandeur of the surroundings left me in awe. The vibrant energy of the city was palpable, especially as I approached the bustling train station, filled with people from all walks of life. Upon reaching Qianmen Street, I was captivated by the stunning Starbucks, a perfect blend of modern design and traditional architecture. The street was lined with delightful cafes, each offering a unique selection of fragrant teas that beckoned to be savored. I couldn’t resist stopping for a cup, soaking in the atmosphere as the sun began its descent. As the sky transformed into a canvas of warm hues, the view was simply magnificent. The golden light cast a magical glow over the historic buildings, creating a picturesque backdrop for my adventure. With the sunset painting the horizon, I made my way to the train station, ready to head to the airport, my heart full of memories from this beautiful evening in Beijing. 🌇❤️
