What are the places and attractions that Beijing must visit?

Beijing is a super-large city and an ancient capital with a history of thousands of years. It has a very prosperous commercial and financial system, and is also the heart of China, a famous historical and cultural city. There are many ancient buildings left here, including the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Here are some places and attractions that Beijing can visit.

Beijing has a long history. There are characteristic hutongs, old tea houses, fashionable bar streets and bustling business districts. The modern elements of old Beijing and the authentic taste of Beijing blend with each other, building a profound cultural heritage and an orthodox but elegant lifestyle in Beijing.

The scenic spots you must visit in Beijing are Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Besides, you can make diversified choices according to your hobbies. Whether it's a couple's trip or a parent-child trip, longing for royal monuments or fashionable blocks, you can find the most suitable place in Beijing.

Preparations before departure:

About large flow:

Big traffic is the traffic from your area to Beijing. Now, planes, trains, high-speed trains and bullet trains to Beijing are very convenient. Trains and flights from railway stations and airports all over the country to Beijing are relatively dense, so tickets can be easily bought and ticket discounts are relatively transparent, so I won't go into details here!

Regarding accommodation, buy a good means of transportation to Beijing, followed by accommodation. First of all, hotel rooms in Beijing are not particularly large. Beijing is a place with an inch of land and gold. In recent years, it has developed rapidly. The Fifth Ring Road is the city center, and the house price in the Fifth Ring Road has soared to 4-5w per square meter. Therefore, local hotels in Beijing are generally not particularly large, and they are not as spacious as hotels in second-and third-tier cities. Many rooms can only accommodate two beds and only have aisles. This is a relatively normal phenomenon.

Tips:

The prices of hotels in different geographical locations in Beijing vary greatly. Chain hotels in good locations will arrive at 3-400 yuan/night, almost catching up with the price of four-star and five-star hotels.

About urban transportation:

Beijing's local transportation and subway are the best choices for travel. Taking a taxi in Beijing is not only expensive, but also the traffic jam is particularly serious. You can't even get a taxi during rush hour. Bus transfer is troublesome and crowded, so subway travel is the best way, with no traffic jam and controllable time. Basically, most scenic spots and business districts in Beijing are covered by subways. Buying a bus card will solve all the travel problems! Therefore, in the choice of hotels, it is the most convenient and affordable to choose a hotel slightly around the Third Ring Road.

These scenic spots are not only free, but also easy to visit!

Speaking of the key points, let's talk about free scenic spots first. I may be more clear according to several districts, so you can arrange your play time according to your own preferences.

Tiananmen Square, the largest square in the world, is located on the south side of Chang 'an Avenue and is the traditional central axis of Beijing. In the center of the square is the Monument to the People's Heroes. Continue south through Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall, and you will reach Zhengyangmen, also known as the front door. On the west side of the square is the Great Hall of the People and on the east side is the National Museum. Opposite the square, on the north side of Chang 'an Avenue is Tiananmen Gate Tower, and under the gate is the sparkling Jinshui River.

Every morning and evening, Tiananmen Square will hold a solemn flag-raising ceremony. It is essential for people who have just arrived in Beijing to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

The Monument to the People's Heroes in Tiananmen Square, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall and the National Museum in the east are all free.

Chairman Mao Memorial Hall: Located in Tiananmen Square, it is closed every Monday, Tuesday to Sunday morning (8- 12) and afternoon. You can visit for free with valid documents. It should be noted that you need to undergo security inspection before entering the exhibition, and you are not allowed to bring bags, cameras, water cups and other items, so you need to deposit your own bags first. When it is open every day, there are many people waiting in line, and sometimes there are long queues with several big bends.

Flag raising ceremony: No matter whether it is windy, rainy or snowy, the flag raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square is held every day. According to the time when the sun comes out every day, it is around 4 o'clock in early summer and around 7 o'clock in winter. If you miss the flag-raising ceremony, you can watch the flag-lowering ceremony at sunset in the afternoon. If you miss both, the flag-raising class will be trained in Tiananmen Square on the east side outside the noon gate, and you can also watch the flag-raising class at close range.

The New Qianmen Street in the south of Tiananmen Square is crowded with merchants, such as Quanjude Roast Duck, a unique steamed dumpling, Liubiju Sauce Garden, Tongrentang Pharmacy, Ruifuxiang Silk Fabric, Shoe Shop, Zhang Yiyuan Teahouse and fresh fish snacks. This is a paradise for foodies and a good place to shop!

TOP2: Shichahai Scenic Area in Shichahai is not only free, but also has a relatively strong cultural atmosphere. Silver Ding Qiao, baggy Xie Jie, Nanluoguxiang, Lotus Market, Huguo Temple Snacks and Bar Street are all here. People who miss old Beijing like it here. There is the most authentic taste of Beijing here, and all the former dignitaries lived here, so the quadrangles and hutongs here are relatively well preserved. Lotus Market is the bar street in journey to the south. To the north of YinDing Qiao is Xie Jie, Dai Yan, to the east of Shichahai is Drum Tower, and to the east is Nanluoguxiang, where you can stroll for half a day, enjoy the coolness in summer in the bar street in summer, and open skating in Shichahai in winter. You can play in Shichahai area for half a day to one day. Suitable for petty bourgeoisie, foodies who love old Beijing culture and other groups!

Whether shopping or eating, this place is a one-stop shopping place, from trendy brands to luxury goods, from ordinary street snacks to luxurious western-style Chinese restaurants, from the rhythm of coffee to drinking in bars. These are undoubtedly a collection of Sanlitun elements.

Several toll attractions worth visiting!

After talking about free scenic spots, plus four must-see paid scenic spots, the essence of Beijing tourism is complete. These four scenic spots are: the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace!

The Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace are all in Beijing. All three scenic spots can be reached directly by subway or bus, but only Badaling Great Wall is not particularly convenient. Here is a detailed introduction to the practical strategy of the Great Wall.

imperial capital

The Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City, is the most complete and largest ancient wooden structure complex in China and even in the world, and is known as "the first of the five largest palaces in the world". The Forbidden City was built according to the order of Yongle Emperor Judy. According to its layout and function, it is divided into two parts: the "outer court" and the "inner court". It is bounded by Gan Qing Gate, with the outer court to the south of Gan Qing Gate and the inner court to the north. The Forbidden City is centered on Gan Qing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Housangong of Kunning Palace and Liugong of East and West, and is the residence of feudal emperors and empresses, also known as "Sangongliuyuan". There are a large number of precious cultural relics in the Forbidden City. According to statistics, there are millions of them, accounting for one sixth of the total cultural relics in China. There are clock demonstrations at 1 1 and 14 every day. Don't miss them.

Transportation: The Forbidden City is located in the center of Beijing and can be reached by bus and subway.

Public transportation: take 1 bus, 2, 52, 59, 82, 99, 120, 126, sightseeing 1 bus, 17,/kloc-0. Or take bus 1 road, bus 5, bus 52, bus 99, bus sightseeing 1 road, bus night 1 road and bus 2 and get off at Tiananmen West, then walk about 1000 meters and enter from the noon gate.

Subway: Take the subway 1 line and get off at "Tiananmen East" station, and walk about 900 meters to enter the Forbidden City from the Wumen Gate. (South Gate of the Forbidden City)

PS: There is no parking lot in the Forbidden City, and the surrounding public parking lots are far away. It is not recommended to drive here.

entrance ticket

Off-season (1October1-March next year1): 40 yuan/person (excluding Treasure Hall and Watch Hall).

Peak season (April1-April 65438+1October 3 1):60 yuan/person (excluding Treasure Hall and Watch Hall).

Tickets for the Treasure Hall and the Watch Hall must be purchased separately: (regardless of peak season)

Watch Hall (Fengxian Hall): 10 yuan/person.

Tips:

Visit the central axis of the Forbidden City: the Third Hall of Taihemen → Ganqingmen → Ganqinggong → Jiaotai Hall → Kunning Palace → Royal Garden → Shenwumen (you can enter Jingshan Park from Shenwumen) East Road: Wumen → Taihemen Hall → Ganqingmen → Dongliugong → Ningshou Palace → Zhenfeijing West Road: Wumen → Taihemen Hall → Ganqingmen → Xiliugong → Ci.

The Forbidden City implements a one-way tour route from south to north: all tourists enter the Forbidden City from the Wumen Gate (South Gate) and leave the Forbidden City from the Shenwumen Gate (North Gate) after the visit.

Temple of Heaven

Tiantan Park is very big, which is not only of great historical significance, but also very green. Highly recommended, it is worth a visit. If you go to Tiantan Park by subway, get off at the East Gate Station of Tiantan, exit A2, turn right, and you will find the ticket office at the East Gate. You must buy a package ticket, otherwise you can only visit the big park. The core parts such as the Hall of Prayer for the New Year and the Echo Wall cannot be entered or seen. Go in along the east gate, go west to the Hall of Prayer for the New Year, visit the Hall of Prayer for the New Year, and then visit Mouqiu and Echo Wall all the way south. Further northwest, there are the God Music Department and the fasting palace. If time is limited, you can go to Ximen to finish your performance. If time permits, it is recommended to have a deep tour in the park. There are many ancient trees and good greening, which is a good place for leisure and relaxation. After the transfer, it is recommended to go out from the north gate. There is an old Ciqikou bean juice shop across the street, where you can taste authentic Beijing snacks, and the price is not expensive. If you go out and take the subway to the north gate, it is closer to Ciqikou Station than to the East Gate Station of the Temple of Heaven.

The Summer Palace

Located in the western suburbs of Beijing, the Summer Palace is the first classical garden in China with a total area of about 290 hectares. It consists of Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake. The whole park is divided into three areas: the political activity area centered on Renshoutang; Queen's bedroom with Yulantang and Leshou Hall as the main body; A scenic tourist area consisting of Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake. The whole park is set in the western hills, and the buildings are integrated with the mountains and lakes in the park, which makes the scenery change endlessly. 199865438+February 2nd was listed in the World Heritage List.
