Day 1: Badaling Great Wall + Ming Tombs or Mutianyu Great Wall classic one-day tour route, convenient for independent travel or group tour. Several sections of the Great Wall in Beijing are open for sightseeing. We recommend Badaling Great Wall and Mutianyu Great Wall, followed by Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall or Simatai Great Wall (you can see Simatai Great Wall when visiting Gubei Water Town). Compared with the mature Great Wall attractions, the safety factor is guaranteed, the tourism infrastructure is complete, and parking is convenient for self-driving tours.
The Ming Tombs are the tombs of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in my country. They are large in scale, have a complete system and are relatively well preserved. They are outstanding representatives of ancient Chinese tombs and have high historical and cultural value. There are special buses, and the fares are divided into off-season and peak seasons. It is recommended to travel during the day and in the morning as the distance is relatively long. You can also choose a convenient group tour. On the Mutianyu Great Wall, you can also meet a lot of kittens in stock~
The next day: Tiananmen + Monument to the People’s Heroes + Guo Bo + Dashilan Pedestrian Street/Qianmen
If you can insist on getting up early to watch the national flag raising in Tiananmen Square, it will be a good choice. The scenery of Tiananmen Square is different in the morning and at night. There are many places for security checks and ID cards nearby, so you need to always bring your ID.
While remembering the heroes and martyrs, I looked at the wide buildings around me and could see soldiers from time to time. Guo Bo The National Museum of China is closed every Monday. There are fixed and permanent exhibitions, such as the Ancient Chinese Exhibition Hall, Renaissance Road, some special exhibitions (calligraphy, calligraphy, treasures, wood carvings, etc.), and many special temporary exhibitions with high artistic value.
Day 3: Classic one-day tour of the Forbidden City. You can spend one day simply visiting the Forbidden City and three days carefully visiting the Forbidden City. Ordinary tourists don’t have extra time, so it is recommended to experience the Forbidden City + Art Photos and Palace Photos one-day tour. Put on makeup early and wear palace clothes. After entering through Donghua Gate, check in and enter the classic seat to take photos. If you take photos quickly, it will be over in about an hour. Spend the rest of the time to take a look at Jubao Hall and Shouwang Hall. If there is a special exhibition, make a reservation in advance and return the clothes when you finally leave the palace. Of course, the premise is to make an appointment to buy tickets for the Forbidden City.
Day 4: Old Summer Palace + Summer Palace. Old Summer Palace is adjacent to the Summer Palace. It is one of the famous royal gardens in the Qing Dynasty, covering an area of ??more than 5,200 acres and more than 150 scenes. With a construction area of ??160,000 square meters, it is known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". Yuanmingyuan and Summer Palace subway stations are two stops apart, very close. It is recommended to arrange the physical route that needs to be visited at the beginning or at the end. The Old Summer Palace is smaller than the Summer Palace, and the walking tour is quick and can be completed in almost one morning. Allow enough time in the afternoon to visit the Summer Palace, just take a trip around the lake or arrange a boat ride. In spring, you can also see "Xidi Begonia".
Day 5: Imperial College, Confucius Temple + Prince Gong’s Mansion + Yonghe Palace The Imperial College is the highest administrative institution for learning and education in ancient China, and most parents have visited it with their children. The Confucius Temple and the Imperial College, which were originally close together and had similar themes, are now open to the public as the same attraction and can be visited together; Prince Gong's Mansion was the largest palace in the Qing Dynasty. This was the residence of Xiao Shenyang and Yongyu successively. The gardens of the pavilions and pavilions are exquisitely designed, and the begonia flowers in Prince Gong’s Mansion are also a must-visit attraction during the spring flower-viewing season in Beijing. As we all know, Yonghegong is a Buddhist temple with the most incense. You can go and have a look if you need to.
