1: Tiananmen Square
Tiananmen Square is the first place to talk about. The largest city center square in the world is a symbol of Beijing and even China. All children in China have seen countless pictures in textbooks since childhood, and everyone in China must have "witnessed" its majestic posture, but it is still very exciting to be really in it, which is the shock and feelings that photos can't bring you at all.
If you get up very early, you can also go to see the flag-raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square in the morning. The flag-raising ceremony at sunrise and the flag-lowering ceremony at sunset every day are the most eye-catching sacred ceremonies. Tens of thousands of people are only here for this minute. The strong feelings of home and country are very touching, and the solemn scene can't be seen anywhere else in the world. It is well worth experiencing.
2: The Forbidden City
After seeing Tiananmen Square, we can stop by to see the Forbidden City. As the palace of the ancient emperor of China, we ordinary people can also see what kind of life the emperor lived before, right?
The Forbidden City is so big that it is full of scenic spots. It is too long to take it out alone. Some places are closed and you can't see them, but most places are accessible. The most spectacular Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Fengxian Hall with a gilded roof, the Palace of Gathered Elegance where concubines fought in the palace, and the newly popular Yanxi Palace are all not to be missed.
In addition to these ancient buildings, there are some rare treasures and antiques in the Forbidden City. Although most of them have been transferred to museums, quite a few of them will take turns to temporarily stay in the Forbidden City. As for the treasures displayed when you go, it depends entirely on luck.
3: Great Wall
Apart from Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, the third place is of course Badaling Great Wall. Chairman Mao famously said that you can't go to the Great Wall without a hero. Can you go to Beijing without going to the Great Wall? In fact, there are many sections of the Great Wall, except for other places in Beijing, and even Beijing has several sections, Badaling, Juyongguan, Mutianyu and Simatai, which can be conveniently selected according to your itinerary, but the Badaling Great Wall is the most recommended by Xiaobian.
it is located in Yanqing county, northwest of Beijing. it is the best-preserved section of the Ming great wall and the most frequently visited section by tourists at home and abroad. The Badaling Great Wall is 3741 meters long and magnificent. The other Great Walls, Juyongguan in Changping, Mutianyu in Huairou and Simatai in Miyun, all have their own characteristics and are worth visiting.
4: Shichahai
The top three scenic spots in Beijing are basically fixed, and there are more differences when you come to the fourth place, but I recommend Shichahai in Xiaobian! Why? Because this is not a scenic spot, but a group of scenic spots! The most important thing is that there is no charge.
Shichahai includes three waters of Qianhai, Houhai and Xihai (also known as Jishuitan) and its adjacent areas. Walking around it is full of famous locations, such as Mei Lanfang's former residence, Beijing Fu Jen Catholic University's former residence, Qi Baishi's former residence, Soong Ching Ling's former residence, Drum Tower, Nanluoguxiang and so on. A tour here is equivalent to visiting more than N scenic spots.
There are a lot of bar snacks here in Shichahai, which can be said to be found in this historic old house, bar snacks and other places. However, there are not many people who are mixed together, and they are so well integrated. Shichahai is a bit wonderful. When you come here, you will feel a sense of "old Beijing". You feel that this place is so special in Beijing that you can't even consciously speak with a children's voice.
5: Summer Palace
The Summer Palace may be regarded as a little contribution made by Lafayette for later generations, but it paid a painful price at that time. The Summer Palace was severely damaged twice in history. In 186, it was burned down by the British and French allied forces, and then it was rebuilt and renamed the Summer Palace. In 19, it was destroyed by Eight-Nation Alliance again, and it was rebuilt in 192, which is the present scale.
The Summer Palace is the largest imperial garden in China. In particular, we recommend the Buddha Pavilion, the Promenade, the Stone Boat, the Seventeen Arch Bridge and the Bronze Bull. These are all landmark scenic spots, and you must punch in. The Promenade and the Seventeen Arch Bridge are particularly beautiful to take photos.
6: Gongwangfu
If you want to talk about what is the most characteristic thing in Beijing, I'm afraid many people will talk about quadrangles. How can you come to Beijing without seeing Gongwangfu, the largest quadrangle in China?
Actually, it is ridiculous to say that it is a quadrangle. If Gong Wangfu is a quadrangle, it will be the most expensive quadrangle in the world, because every pillar in it is worth 2.7 billion yuan. It used to be the residence of He Shen, a famous corrupt official. Later, after He Shen was killed, this mansion was circulated several times and finally reached Prince Gong, and Gong Wangfu became its last name.
The building of this house is very similar to the internal structure of the Forbidden City. It is said that when He Shen was building, he specially asked people to study the architectural style of the Forbidden City and then follow suit. All the partitions in the house are made of gold nanmu, which is comparable to the luxury of the palace.
7: Wangfujing
It is said on the Internet that Wangfujing is used to cheat foreigners to spend money. In fact, this statement is true, but it is not only true. Wangfujing is the commercial street with the most Beijing characteristics. If you go, you will see something strange. Most of the goods in it are very expensive, which is unbearable for ordinary people, but if you don't go, it seems to be a little worse.
Wangfujing Street mainly displays the commercial features of Beijing in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It starts from East Chang 'an Avenue in the south and ends at China Art Museum in the north. It is the most famous commercial street in Beijing with a history of 1 years. Here, you can feel the Beijing Commercial Street in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and even during the period of reform and opening up. This is his most special place.
as for shopping, it depends on your personal spending power.
8: Lama Temple
There is a place in Beijing that religious people are very worth visiting, and that is the Lama Temple, because it is both a palace and a temple, not only the "blessed land of Long Qian", but also it is said that worship is very effective.
The Lama Temple is exquisite and gorgeous, with a unique artistic style that integrates Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan and other architectural arts. There are still many monks practicing in it.
The Lama Temple is very effective, but Xiaobian didn't make it up by himself. Many people came here and made their wishes come true. According to word of mouth, the Lama Temple is famous for its efficacy, which makes it one of the most popular temples in Beijing. On the first day and fifteenth day of incense, it is even more crowded.
9: Xiangshan
Xiangshan is a famous forest park in Beijing, with strange and quiet mountains, temples, courtyards and clear springs. Mid-October to early November is the best season to watch the red leaves. Xiangshan is not only a good place for red leaves, but also a favorite tourist destination and fitness center for Beijing residents. Every day before dawn, there are countless people climbing here to exercise, which has become a unique scene in Xiangshan.
according to historical records, China's Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties once built palaces and other gardens here, and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty built pavilions and halls here, and named it "Jingyi Garden", so it became one of the famous "three mountains and five gardens" in western Beijing at that time. However, Xiangshan is crowded in the news every year because there are too many people. Friends who are afraid of being crowded had better go from Monday to Friday.
1: Ming Tombs
The Ming Tombs are tombs of Ming emperors in China, located in Tianshou Mountain at the foot of Yanshan Mountain in Changping District, northwest suburb of Beijing. From May, the seventh year of Yongle (149), Changling was founded here, and the last emperor of Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, was buried in Siling. During the past 23 years, thirteen emperors' tombs, seven concubines' tombs and one eunuch's tomb were built successively. * * * buried thirteen emperors, twenty-three queens, two princes, more than thirty concubines and one eunuch.
Many people have a vague concept of the Ming Tombs, thinking that they are looking at 13 mausoleums, but they are not. In this area, there are 13 mausoleums, but at present, only three of them are open, and the rest are not allowed in.
It should also be noted that the distance between scenic spots is not close, and it takes about 1-2 minutes to get there by bus.
