The amorous feelings of the capital Beijing (2): the beautiful scenery of Shichahai

Shichahai is a historical and cultural protection area in Xicheng District, including Qianhai, Houhai and Xihai. Now it is called Jishuitan.

Before I went to Beijing, I heard this name, and I thought it must have something to do with the ancient temple. I didn't expect it! Shichahai can also be written as "Ten Tea Seas", because there are ten Buddhist temples around it, so it is named.

There are many palaces in Shichahai Scenic Area, the most famous of which is Gongwangfu. Gong Wang Fu was built by a big corrupt official, Xiao Shenyang, who gave the Prince Gong one heart, hence the name Gong Wang Fu, which has been used ever since.

Many ordinary citizens lived in Gongwangfu in the past, and various government agencies and units worked here. It was not until 2008 that it was reopened to the public.

On the wall of the inner courtyard of Wang Fu, you can still vaguely see mottled red and white slogans, which proves that people did live here in the 1950s, 1970s and 1980s. I really envy these people who live in Gongwangfu!

Now Gong Wangfu has been renovated, revealing luxury and style everywhere.

The "selling point" of Gongwangfu is the Confucius Monument.

According to legend, this message was written by Emperor Kangxi to his grandmother in the 12th year of Kangxi, when sourdrang queen was celebrating his 60th birthday. In order to let the word "Fu" be passed down forever, Emperor Kangxi ordered people to copy it on a whole piece of white marble, making it a royal treasure.

But now this stone tablet is hidden in a secret cave in the back garden of Little Shenyang Building. No one knows how he got the monument. The nature of big corrupt officials can also be seen.

But fortunately, he hid the national treasure stone tablet and was not burned and plundered by the Japanese devils, so he made great contributions.

I heard that touching the prayer tablet in Miyun Cave can pray for blessings, so we quickly lined up to enter the cave. The rock wall in the cave has already been polished by countless hands, which makes people a little worried about the situation of praying for the monument.

Results! A piece of glass is sealed on the blessing board 360 degrees without dead ends! A group of people groped on the glass, which was spotless.

The security guard next to him kept urging: "Go, don't stay, no matter how you touch it, it's all glass! Go, don't take pictures ... "

In addition to the blessing tablet, there are various blessings. 35 yuan bought're, wrote down his wishes on it, and then hung it on a tree, threw it by the well, tied it to the fence, and so on.

It's also interesting to see other people's wishes. Most of them have been admitted to an ideal university and their families are healthy. It seems that the folk customs of our people are still very simple, and their wishes are also very simple and practical.

Walking along the northern edge of Houhai, there is an open water area. It is comfortable to blow the wind by the river, and many old people are fishing leisurely. There are also people who paint the scene.

There are many scenic spots by the river, but they are all charged. Sit down and drink mineral water 15 yuan, and take 5 yuan away.

The road by the river is very narrow. From time to time, there are trees blocking the way and stalls, but bicycles are not prohibited here. It's the rhythm of people hitting people in peak season.

There are also many zombie car on the roadside a little far from the lake, which are covered with ashes and fallen leaves. In the center of Beijing, near so many scenic spots, zombie car, which encroaches on social resources, does harm the image of the city. Whether a city is well managed or not, tourists are the most observant.

However, at night, the situation is completely different, and the sparkling water surface is illuminated by neon lights during the day. Houhai at night belongs to nightlife.

When we came over at night, it was a little late. As a result, one of our favorite bars is being renovated, and the other one is full, so we have to find a bar that looks ok and stay for a while.

As soon as I sat down in the door, my slightly drunk brother greeted me and strongly recommended us two girls to drink cocktails. We are going to order some spirits. Don't argue with him, because he is drunk and crooked.

Most of the bars in Houhai are clean bars, where you can sit quietly and listen to music and drink a little wine.

The resident singers in the bar are all very hard. There are several men and women, one after another. I heard that many singers were resident singers in Houhai Bar before they became famous.

Several people in our bar sang by themselves in the dim light, and occasionally picked up a song ordered by the audience, but the accompaniment could not keep up. I didn't recognize them when they became famous anyway.

There are many other interesting things in Shichahai Scenic Area. If you have been there, please leave a message to share.
