Last time I stayed at Home Inn (Beijing Ande Road) with a retail price of 239
The room was a bit small and the facilities were simple, but the location was pretty good and very convenient. Even though the price is a bit high, it’s rare to find cheap ones in Beijing, not to mention the location is so good
There are countless restaurants in Beijing selling braised pork, but the most famous among them is the century-old "Small Intestine Chen". The earliest location where Xiaochang Chen operated was on Nanheng Street outside Xuanwumen.
The most authentic fried liver is definitely Yaoji. It is located on Gulou Street, just to the east of the Gulou City Gate. The front door is very small, but if you go there late, you will definitely not be able to eat it. It is opposite the row. It's called a long restaurant. In addition to fried liver, there are many snacks, such as fried cakes, braised stew, and enema. . . It tastes great. Steamed buns and fried liver are what I must eat every time. Plus a bowl of purple rice porridge, it’s like a fairy.
In fact, the egg-filled pancake seems to have been eaten by me when I was eating water in Luoyang. The ones in Beijing probably come from that. I’ve never seen them in Beijing, but it’s said that the pancakes in some breakfast places are not from Beijing. They should be from Shandong. The ones you get at Yaoji Fried Liver

I can only give you a list, but I can’t calculate the total price because it is expected that you will have a meal, I will have lunch, and you will spend shopping in Wangfujing and other places in Xidan... To put it simply, if you stay for three nights, it will be 720 yuan. Adding on the tickets, 1,000 is not enough anyway
I hope I can help you. Although I am a tour guide and often go to Beijing, there is nothing I can do. If you don’t understand, please ask again
Have a nice trip
Summer Palace/Forbidden City/Xidan
The complete self-guided three-day tour of Beijing was fully arranged by us. I get up at six o'clock every day. I ate breakfast at the front door on the first day, which felt like a waste of time. Later I ate some bought instant noodles, eggs, bread and milk at my residence instead, saving time, money and having enough energy.
On the first day, I planned to walk around Tiananmen Square and pay homage to Chairman Mao’s body before entering the Forbidden City. But that day happened to be September 6. Perhaps because of the opening of the Paralympic Games in the evening, Tiananmen Square was closed. The Forbidden City didn't open until nine o'clock, so I changed my plan at the last minute and took the subway straight to the Summer Palace. According to the information card provided by the service desk in the subway station, we transferred from Line 2 to Line 1 and Line 10, got off at Bagou, the terminal station, and then took a bus to the Xinjian Gate of the Summer Palace, which took about an hour. .
After entering the park, I found the Summer Palace tourist map I had found online in advance and followed it. The sky was overcast, Kunming Lake lay quietly in front of me, and the wide seventeen-hole bridge lay across one side. Walking to the bridge, crossing the lake and looking northward, Wanshou Mountain and Foxiang Pavilion are quiet and slightly gloomy, and the specific faces cannot be seen clearly. Taking a boat from Nanhu Island to Shifang, the cool breeze hit me, and I couldn't help but feel some regrets in my heart. What if it happened to be a blue sky and white clouds, clearing thousands of miles, and what would it be like to sit on this ancient painted boat, leaning against the railing and facing the wind? It's so pleasant.
The huge stone boat is parked on the shore. At first glance, there are only empty cabins and mottled paintings, which are useless except as a background for people to take photos. We followed the guide map and walked into Wanshou Mountain from the side. The mountain is not high. It winds up along the gentle gravel slope. Under the cover of dense trees, you can smell the aroma of moist earth. There are not many tourists, which allows us to have more thoughts and interests, and enjoy the unique tranquility and comfort of this royal garden.
Behind Wanshou Mountain is the antique Suzhou Street built by modern people next to the river. There are only a few tourists and it is a very failed plan. If you didn’t buy a pass that includes this place, you can just look down from the bridge. Never go down. I feel helpless that I have been trapped, and if I don't leave, I feel sorry for the money that has gone into other people's pockets.
After climbing to the top of Wanshou Mountain, you will reach the Foxiang Pavilion. This is the core scenic spot of the Summer Palace and can be called a classic. The high pavilion is built against the mountain, with distinct layers and grand momentum. The rigorous and meticulous symmetrical layout, the noble and distinctive architectural style, the bright yellow eaves tiles, and the vermilion pillars, surrounded by green mountains, not only make you feel noble, but also broaden and sublimate your mind. Leaning on the railing in front of the pavilion and looking down, Kunming Lake is in front of you, as if you can take the entire lake into your arms by stretching out your arms.
Go down to the pavilion, walk through the corridor, enter the Dehe Garden, take a rest in front of the theater, watch a music and dance performance for a while, then pass by the Renshou Hall and arrive at the Wenchang Courtyard. This is a newly built courtyard, which is exquisite and clean. There are some rare treasures on display inside, which are interesting to see. However, looking at these ingenious objects, which are extremely valuable and time-consuming, I can't help but wonder about the ancients. The older generation often said that playing with things makes one lose one's ambition. Is China's modern decline related to this? When our craftsmen are still striving to create unique treasures in their handicraft workshops, and when the entire nation is immersed in the worship and pursuit of traditional skills, on the other side of the earth, the roar of dense machines is already coming from the factories. Each of these treasures is priceless, and some are even called priceless treasures or even national treasures. But every time a treaty is signed, the invaders want silver, land or a city, and the people in the city. It is precisely because of the pricelessness of rare treasures that they end up being abandoned, shelved, destroyed, robbed, and resold. The best destination is to be collected. Now, in the glass cabinet of Wenchangyuan, they can finally rest in peace.
Going out of the side door outside Wenchang Courtyard, the trip to the Summer Palace ended. It was past 12 o'clock and I was very hungry. I wanted to eat something outside the East Palace Gate, but I only found a stall selling boiled corn, one for each person. While I was filling my hunger, I queued up to take bus No. 690 back to the front door. I passed by in a daze along the way.
When Qianmen Street turned into an alley next to Dashilar, we entered a restaurant in the back. Usually, restaurants at the intersection are more expensive. We spent more than 40 yuan and had lunch. It was already 2 o'clock, and the Forbidden City closes at 4 o'clock. We packed our bags and walked quickly towards the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City.
From the Dashilan intersection of Qianmen Street, go straight north, pass Zhengyangmen, run through Tiananmen Square, cross Chang'an Street, Jinshui Bridge, pass through Tiananmen and Duanmen, and finally arrive under the Meridian Gate. There was no stopping and it took nearly 50 minutes. It’s not that close!
At around 3 pm, we entered the Palace Museum. This is a very large palace complex. Standing in the empty square in front of the Gate of Supreme Harmony, you can feel how majestic and supreme the imperial power is. The almost identical buildings around it restrain the lives of every subject walking on this road. My heart cannot move at all. Times have changed, things have changed, and people have changed. Even today, it is still dull and shocking when it was passed down.
After passing the magnificent three main halls of the outer court, we turned east in front of the Qianqing Gate, visited the Treasure Hall, came out through the Zhenfei Well, then entered the Imperial Garden and visited the Sixth East Palace in sequence. The layout of the palaces where the concubines lived was roughly the same, with two courtyards. In order to avoid monotony, the Forbidden City designed these rooms into exhibition rooms with different themes. Exit the East Sixth Palace, go west through the Qianqing Gate, pass by the famous Military Aircraft Department, and then arrive at the Yangxin Hall. The layout here is obviously different from the East Sixth Palace. After all, it is the hub of the entire Forbidden City. The west suite of Yangxin Hall is Sanxi Hall. This is the holy place of calligraphy in the Forbidden City. It is named after three rare calligraphy stickers collected by Wang Xizhi, "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie", Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Tie" and Wang Xun's "Boyuan Tie". The "Sanxitang Dharma Calligraphy", which was engraved with the essence of calligraphy works of the past dynasties, has spread far and wide and played a positive role in the collection and promotion of calligraphy.
After leaving the Yangxin Hall, there is not much time left before closing time at 5 o'clock. We gave up the tour of the west line of the Forbidden City, entered the Qianqing Gate instead, walked north along the central axis, passed the Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace, and returned to the Imperial Garden.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the faint scent of sunset mixed with the old rotten fragrance emanating from the ancient palaces lingered around the sparse tourists, creating a sense of intertwining time and space. Occasionally, there are a few crows neighing. Looking around, people are crowded inside the yellow tiles and red walls. Only the small patch of sky above the head is open, but it is also difficult for people to fly. So, "As soon as Hou Men enters the deep Like the sea" has become the best footnote.
After leaving Shenwumen and resting on the edge of the moat, I really felt tired. Where should I go at night? Let’s go to Xidan. Dragging your tired legs around unfamiliar shops and feeling the strong commercial atmosphere is a unique experience during travel. I didn’t buy anything decent. I had dinner and waited for a long time for the bus. Of course there was no seat. It was almost 8:30 when I got back to my accommodation and I still wanted to watch the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games! I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to bed first. Zeze's mother was leaning on the sofa. Her eyelids didn't have much strength anymore, and she still insisted on watching the lighting ceremony. I fell asleep on the bed.
World Park/Capital Museum/Water Cube
At about three o'clock in the night, I was awakened by the rumbling thunder. Outside, thunder and lightning started to rain heavily, so I stayed silent in the darkness. Pray that it will clear up as soon as the sky breaks. Maybe after the rain, it will be a sunny day.
All the good wishes turned out to be illusions. When we got up after six o'clock, the rain was still falling, and it was not light. But once it comes, let's make peace with it. This kind of weather is not enough to stop our planned journey. After a simple breakfast, each of us held an umbrella, and we took the bus to Qianmen, where we took the No. 7 bus and went straight to the World Park.
Among the many attractions in Beijing, World Park is a junior and not very famous. I only knew its name before, but never mentioned my interest in visiting it. This time I came here at my wife's suggestion, feeling somewhat helpless.
The rain was still falling, and the entrance to the park was filled with flowers, which were even more refreshing under the moisture of the rain. Not a single tourist was seen at the ticket gate. The conductor said that there were very few people today. Tickets cost 65, which is more expensive than the Forbidden City!
One of the most unpleasant things to see when traveling is the crowds. Traveling is originally a process of relaxation. Relaxation is first reflected in the relaxed and comfortable environment around you. The number of tourists is an important indicator. When there are too many people, if you want to see the scenery, you have to look at the people, which ruins the scenery. Maybe it's because of the rain today. It's far away from the city and its attraction is limited. It's reasonable that there are not many people here. How wonderful this is!
We appreciate these famous scenic spots around the world in order that can be recorded in the history of human civilization. Although it is a miniature version, in general the production is decent. The builders of the park deliberately designed it according to the region and combined with the specific terrain. They were sorted and arranged, and some of the small ones were made according to their original size, such as the famous peeing boy in Brussels, which is very cute. Many scenic spots have formed a solid impression due to our past knowledge reserves. Although what we see now is not the original thing, from rational cognition to emotional physical contact, we can't help but feel excited and emotional. The tall Eiffel Tower , the graceful Warsaw Mermaid, the ancient Stonehenge, and the magnificent Thai Royal Palace, there are many more, all of which naturally attracted my wanderings and thoughts. Anyone who has watched "Roman Holiday" will yearn for that magical lie detector stone, and here it is! Unfortunately, my wife has not watched "Roman Holiday", so she cannot share this special feeling with me. We also watched an exciting and dynamic movie. There were only 5 spectators in a theater that could seat 200 to 300 people! Only the projectionist was lazy. In the park, my wife was very happy. The dripping rain was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and intermittent. There were scattered tourists holding umbrellas and walking on the wet winding paths, which had a unique mood. We stood in front of an exotic building and took photos without any other people blocking us, so we took a lot of photos.
After playing for nearly three hours, it was already past noon and there seemed to be more tourists. We ate in a small restaurant at the entrance of the park, just the two of us. The proprietress said that since the Olympics, there have been fewer tour groups here and business has been slow.
The many restrictions imposed by the Olympic Games on vehicles entering Beijing have directly affected the entry and exit of large-scale vehicles from out-of-town tour groups. This has naturally reduced the number of visitors to Beijing's tourist attractions, but it has improved the quality of our tourism. This opportunity is very rare. .
After eating, taking a short rest, and feeling energetic again, we headed to the Capital Museum according to our original plan. Take Te 7 bus and get off at Changchun Street. Take two buses to the Trade Union Building and cross the intersection. The reason why I came to the Capital Museum was for the "Memory of China - 5000 Years of Civilization Treasures Exhibition" that was exhibited here during the Olympic Games. It brought together 169 treasures from 55 museums in 26 provinces and cities across the country. If everything was Go to the original museum to see it, I'm afraid no one can do it. But I failed to reserve free tickets for this day before, so I had to spend 30 yuan per person, but it was definitely worth it.
The first floor is a temporary exhibition hall, which changes themes frequently. It should be considered very large, but our 5,000-year civilization history is really profound, and the organizers are trying to use more typical civilization treasures. A comprehensive display is carried out, so many exhibits fill the exhibition hall. There are many people who want to take a closer look, so most of the exhibits are just for a quick glance. Despite this, the entire exhibition still makes people feel deeply proud of the long and splendid civilizational achievements of the motherland. We visited the special exhibition halls on the second to fifth floors and the basement floor one after another. However, our time was limited and we could not enjoy them in detail. We will come back to Beijing when we have the opportunity to see them in the future. The transportation here is very convenient.
After we came out of the Capital Museum, the sky was still gloomy. Today’s main itinerary has been completed. In order to ensure our physical strength for tomorrow and not waste the rest of the time, we took a bus to Tiananmen Square. After all, Tiananmen Square is a sensitive and important place. During the Olympic Games, tourists must pass security checks before entering. There are beautiful bonsais placed on both sides of the square, and in the center is a huge Paralympic Games logo that can be rotated 360°. The Beijing Paralympics, relying solely on the enthusiasm of the audience who can hardly get a ticket, shows the Chinese people's attachment to the Olympics. Desire and respect are enough to leave a mark in the history of the international Olympics.
Unfortunately, my camera ran out of power, so I bought two high-energy batteries from the photography department cart in the square that were said to be able to take 200 photos. When I walked near the national flag, I found many people sitting there. When I inquired, they were waiting for the flag-lowering ceremony. We had nothing to do, so we found an open space a little further away to sit down and wait, taking a break. Suddenly, the crowd on the east side started to stir, and many people stood up as if to walk back. This was the quickest and most accurate reaction I had during my trip to Beijing. I immediately judged that the venue might need to be cleared and that visitors should stay some distance away from the national flag. I stood up quickly, picked up my wife who was still sitting there looking around, and ran back. Not far in front of me, there was a long rope lying on the ground in the east-west direction. It seemed that someone was pointing and maintaining order. I think this is the limit. I ran a few steps quickly, and I already had a clearer goal at this time, which was the square and the central axis of Beijing. We were almost the first to reach the intersection of the rope and the central axis. My wife was really tired, so she actually wanted to sit down and wait for work. But many people came over one after another, and she couldn't sit still, so she had to get up. The rope moved forward a few steps as everyone kicked and stepped on it. We also moved forward, with only one principle: stay within the central axis and follow the rope. Finally, someone came over to pull the rope and tied it to a few stakes. Guards began to walk over, in groups of two, and stood in a line in front of the flagpole facing us. We were in the first row and asked to squat. My wife and I took out a newspaper from our bag and spread it on the ground. We both sat on the wide horizontal stone bar and looked up at the tall flagpole. The bright five-star red flag was fluttering in the wind. A few colorful rays of light appeared in the hazy sky, reflecting the solemnity and tranquility of Tiananmen Square directly in front. Pedestrians on the Jinshui Bridge opposite were also diverted to both sides, and everyone was waiting for that special moment. At about 6:30, the passing vehicles on Chang'an Street stopped, and the neat footsteps of the national flag guard were vaguely heard coming from the direction of Tiananmen Square. (Because it is really centered, many things cannot be seen.
) The escort team divided into two lines from the flag fence and surrounded the flagpole in sequence. It seemed like two soldiers were walking towards the flagpole. Everyone held their breath and followed the flag slowly lowering with their eyes focused. There was only the slight click of the camera in their ears. The soldiers put away the national flag in a standardized manner and escorted them into Tiananmen Square. The sky was gray and the distance was so far that people couldn't actually see clearly the specific movements of the guards. Of course, most people didn't come to see this, because this national flag has been raised and lowered countless times in the hearts of every Chinese. Each time, it was so sacred and noble, but this time, in the heart of the motherland, in front of Tiananmen Square, we must bear witness to the national flag in our hearts.
As the crowd dispersed, the lanterns began to appear on Tiananmen Square, filled with brilliance. We went to take photos with great interest. So I encountered the most frustrating thing about my trip to Beijing. The battery was dead. With these two batteries, I took less than 20 pictures. The photography department had already withdrawn its stall, and there was no way to complain. They could only remain silent in front of the towering Monument to the People's Heroes.
I don’t dare to buy any more batteries. Fortunately, my brother is coming over. He only returned to Beijing in the afternoon. I sent a text message asking him to bring some batteries. He did it. The three of us walked around Qianmen Street and Dashilan Street. My brother treated us to Goubuli at the end of Dashilan Street to eat a bunch of steamed buns for more than 200 yuan. We also helped him achieve the first Goubuli meal in Beijing. Baozi’s long-cherished wish.
It's already nine o'clock. It's up to us whether we should go back or continue wandering. Finally, my younger brother suggested going to see the night view of Birds and Birds, and my wife responded positively. I don’t need to express my opinion. It took us another hour to get to the Water Cube. The bird's nest was in the other direction and could be seen from a distance, so we didn't go past it. Across from the Water Cube is the Pangu Building that I noticed on the Internet. The five buildings form the image of a dragon, and the lights throughout the building appear crystal clear. The younger brother pointed to the last building and said, "Look at the dragon's tail, which looks like bird droppings. There is a bird's tail in front, and there is a bird's egg behind the assembly hall. Some people say it was designed by a group of bird people." We ha! ha! ha! After a while, in the midst of exhaustion, we had fun chatting.
Tonight is the second day of the Paralympic Games. The Water Cube is not allowed to enter casually. There are two or three ticket sellers nearby. After a rough inquiry, tickets for the Bird Cube and the Water Cube cost several hundred yuan each. In a small open space outside the bus station, many people were selling Olympic souvenirs. They were small items not found in licensed stores and the prices were cheap. The wife came and went to choose, and she gained a lot. Despite this, very few will actually stay in your hands in the end, and almost all of them will be given away.
Under the night, the Water Cube is constantly changing its colorful colors, which is very beautiful.
We took a taxi to the Jishuitan subway station and parted ways with my brother. It was almost midnight, and tomorrow we had to climb the Great Wall.
Great Wall/Temple of Heaven/Wangfujing
This is the last day in Beijing. Last night, oh no, when I arrived at my residence yesterday, it was already early this morning. We also briefly talked about whether to go to the Great Wall today given our current physical condition. I slept for about six hours. Although I was very tired, I didn't sleep much. Now that you're awake, what are you talking about? Let's go!
The route is already familiar to me. Take the bus to Xuanwumen, transfer to the subway to Jishuitan Station, and go straight to Deshengmen. Ignore the 919 on the road and go to the north side of Chengmen Cave to catch the bus.
I like to take the bus or subway in a strange city, because only in this way can I really come to this city. Walk through its streets, alleys, and citizens, to penetrate, immerse, and blend, and breathe the most essential atmosphere of this city. Although it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, isn’t the purpose of our trip just to have new experiences? In fact, the experience at purely tourist attractions is much the same. What’s interesting is that different scenic spots are all different, but feel the same, while different urban layouts are inevitably similar, but they can bring different feelings. This may be because the scenic spots are small and specific, so it is easy to converge in management. After all, cities are large and complex, so there are natural deviations between them in management.
Route 919 goes directly to the foot of the Badaling Great Wall. It costs 12 yuan per person and is smooth along the way. There is a faint sun in the sky, but the visibility is not high, and there are not many people climbing the Great Wall.
We bought a general ticket and a postcard ticket respectively. For this postcard, we stayed here for an extra hour. This is a story later, so I won’t mention it for now.
The Badaling Great Wall is the representative of the entire Great Wall. It is famous for its winding and majestic windings. It is well-preserved and well-maintained. It was developed earlier and has mature and safe tourism conditions. It is the first choice for Great Wall tours. Although the weather was not good, I leaned against the city wall and looked far away. Under the hazy sky, I could see the Great Wall resting on the rolling hills. As it got further and further away, there was still a sense of selflessness among the twists and turns. The strength and dominance.
We climbed to the North Eighth Floor without much effort, which is the highest peak on the northern line of Badaling Scenic Area. I remember that the last time I came here, there was a special countertop selling commemorative certificates for climbing the Great Wall that you could write your name on. I also kept one at that time, and I should still find it at home now. Nearly twenty years have passed, and I am standing here again, probably with those bricks under my feet. Do they still remember the boy who stayed here with his father? Now he is here again, and he brings his wife with him. Life is like a fleeting moment. Ten, twenty, and thirty years may seem like a long time, but when you carefully recall the past, it may be clear or blurry, but it only lasts a moment. Last year, my wife's bicycle key was missing a pendant, so I found one from my collection of old things. It was just right. When I saw it, it was the tourist souvenir I bought at the Ming Tombs Jiulong Amusement Park when I came to Beijing with my father. It calmly It has been placed in the box for eighteen years. This time we did not choose to go to the Ming Tombs, mainly because we could not arrange the time and my wife was not very interested in that kind of attractions.
From the North 8th floor, we did not return the same way as most tourists did, but turned south and went down to the North 13th floor, so that we could see new scenery without turning back. I think many of the people who returned the same way came as part of a group. Of course there are many advantages to going with a group, which I don’t need to go into details, but there are also many disadvantages. You can only travel according to their time and route, and the freedom of travel is gone. I don't like to follow a group.
The steps on the way back are steeper, and sometimes there is a slope of about 45°. There are few people and the walking is smooth. Before I knew it, I arrived at the foot of the mountain. This should be on the other side of the mountain from where we started climbing. We bought some small items for the children, went to a clean restaurant for lunch, and walked not far away when we saw the 919 bus stopping there.
However, my postcard has not been sent yet.
Stamp the postmark of the tourist destination on that day and send it back directly through the post office. This completes the transformation from the ticket to the actual postcard. From this, this postcard has immediacy, history and uniqueness. Features, not only have commemorative significance, but also have certain collection value.
I asked where there was a post office and was told to go to Back Mountain. Later I found out that what they called Back Mountain was the place where we started climbing the Great Wall. Let's walk along the winding mountain road and see the scenic spot on the way - Wangjing Stone. Finally I found the mailbox, right in front of the ticket office. Alas, if I had discovered it earlier, I would have checked the tickets and posted them, and this unnecessary trip would have been saved. Of course, there is also the 919 route here, but a precious hour was wasted. .
I was almost confused all the way back to the city, where to go? See if you still have time, go to the Temple of Heaven. The Temple of Heaven is located behind the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Great Wall, the World Park, and the Capital Museum in our itinerary. It is large and empty. Except for the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, there is not much scenery to speak of. And it is in the city. Whenever we go to Beijing in the future, it will be there. It is very convenient for sightseeing. I have been there twice, and my wife is not very interested in such attractions, so she was last on the list and had the right to make maneuvers.
The Temple of Heaven is also one of the barrier-free attractions during this Paralympic Games. The side door of each step entrance and exit gate is paved with access ramps. The hosting of the Paralympic Games and the disabled facilities have brought us a lot of updating and deepening of concepts in subtle ways, and have been of great benefit to the improvement of social civilization.
I think the park part of the Temple of Heaven, excluding the central axis attractions, is more elegant and impressive. The ancient trees are lush, the grass is green, the roads are tidy, and the atmosphere is friendly. It is really like the noisy metropolis outside the wall, and it is like a paradise in a foreign land.
After exiting the East Gate of the Temple of Heaven, take a bus straight to Wangfujing Pedestrian Street. When you come to Beijing, it is necessary to visit Wangfujing. If not for anything else, just to experience the prosperity of the business world. In a sense, Wangfujing gives people a more concrete, tangible and profound feeling of coming to Beijing than the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Because this place is more secular and life-like, and carries more of our inner realistic wishes and dreams.
