In the last episode of the Beijing travel guide, we have already talked about a lot of tourist attractions, but due to the text limit of the previous episode, we were not able to finish it. Today I am writing the second part of the Beijing travel guide, which will be given to everyone. A detailed introduction to the tourist attractions in Beijing. Please read this article carefully.
Old Summer Palace! It is a famous royal garden in history. Although it was severely damaged and plundered later, the later rebuilt Old Summer Palace still maintained its original style. The main attractions of the Yuanmingyuan Heritage Park include Changchun Garden, Qichun Garden, Wanchun Garden, Fuhai Scenic Area and other attractions. Mainly focusing on the lake view except the Western-style building. The ticket price for Yuanmingyuan is ten yuan. Generally, it takes nearly a day to complete the tour, so you need to arrange your time in advance if you want to come here.
Bird's Nest! This place is located inside the Olympic Park, just outside the Olympic Park Station on Metro Line 8, but it should be noted that it closes at 9 pm. The Bird's Nest, Water Cube, National Sports Center, etc. are all inside, which is the main venue of the 2008 Olympic Games. It is so famous that every Chinese knows it. It is recommended to go see it at night. The lighting effect is very good and the scenery is closer to nature. The entire design has a strong modern artistic flavor and is a landmark building in Beijing.
Xiangshan! This is located in the west of Haidian District. Founded in 1186, its original name was Dayongan Temple. Emperors of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties built palaces here. The main peak of Xiangshan Mountain is 557 meters tall and looks like an incense burner, so it is also called "Xiang Lu Peak". Another name is "Ghost Viewing Sorrow". There are dozens of places of interest in Xiangshan Park. The main attractions include Biyun Temple, Five Hundred Arhat Hall, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Shuangqing Villa, Spectacle Lake, etc. The red leaves of Fragrant Mountain, which I learned in primary school textbooks, are a unique natural landscape in Beijing in autumn. It was once named one of the "New Sixteen Scenic Spots of Beijing". Tickets are 15 yuan. You can get there by taking bus 696 or 698.
Nanluoguxiang! Nanluogu Lane is relatively small, about half the width of a road. There are a lot of people here during holidays, and there are many unique things, such as snacks, small toys, and unique small shops. Of course, the most distinctive thing is the quaint buildings on both sides. This is the former residence of many celebrities. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was a place where dignitaries gathered. It was a veritable "rich area". Now many places have been turned into various interesting shops. , some buildings are still well preserved and can be visited.
Beihai Park! It features Tuancheng's ingenious drainage design, the landmark White Tower, Qiongdao Chunyin, one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing, the Kuai Xuetang Calligraphy Museum named by Pujie, the younger brother of the last emperor Pu Yi, the Nine Dragon Wall made of colorful glass, and the five pavilions and five pavilions near the water. The Dragon Pavilion and Xiaoxitian, the largest square pavilion-style building in the world, are the most famous. Qiongdao Chunyin, with its unique seasonal characteristics, has become a rare sight among the many sights on Qionghua Island in the North Sea that you have to wait for another year to miss.
Prince Gong’s Mansion! Heshen’s former residence! As the world's richest man in the 19th century, his mansion is worth a visit. After He Shen's house was confiscated, the house belonged to Prince Gong, so it was called Prince Gong's Mansion. After years of turmoil, Prince Gong's Mansion, as a representative of Qing Dynasty architecture and an existing classic of Chinese classical gardens, has very high historical and aesthetic value. In the back garden of Prince Gong's Mansion, there is also a stele with the word "福" written by Emperor Kangxi to wish his grandmother, Queen Xiaozhuang, a birthday, which is of very important value.
Yonghe Temple! The former Prince Yong's Mansion is now the Lama Temple. This was Yongzheng's residence before he became emperor. It was a mansion given to him by Emperor Kangxi. When he inherited the throne, it became his residence. During the Qianlong period, this place was converted into a Lama Temple, and it is still a very popular temple in Beijing. The architecture of Yonghegong is magnificent and truly royal. Among them is a Buddha statue carved from a whole piece of white sandalwood. It has applied for the Guinness World Record. When you look up, it just feels towering, but the carving is still very delicate. It is really priceless.
Ming Tombs! The Ming Tombs are the largest and most complete royal cemetery complex in China with the largest number of emperors' and empresses' tombs. The scenic spots open to the Ming Tombs are now divided into four parts: Shenlu, Changling, Dingling, and Zhaoling, and tickets are sold separately. We first arrived at Changling and then Dingling. We originally wanted to visit the Shenlu Road, but we ran out of time. You must not miss the Changling Hall of En'en. The wooden components of the entire hall are all made of precious golden nanmu. The 32 double-eaves golden pillars are each 12.58 meters high, and the thickest bottom diameter is 1.124 meters. The materials used are so luxurious! Most of the above-ground buildings in Dingling are gone. The main attraction is the underground palace, which is worth a visit.
Grand View Garden! A very nice antique garden, somewhat similar to a theme park, and well worth a visit.
The atmosphere created by the Grand View Garden is particularly artistic. Those who like Dream of Red Mansions will definitely like this place, because no matter whether this is the Grand View Garden in your heart, it is indeed unique. The original site of the Grand View Garden is the Royal Vegetable Garden. There are no old buildings. The entire garden is completely designed according to the description in the Dream of Red Mansions. Many locations can be compared one by one, such as Yihong Courtyard and Xiaoxiang Pavilion. There is a map of the Grand View Garden on the back of the ticket. Find a teahouse here to sit quietly for an afternoon and read two chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber. Not to mention how nourishing it feels. Each scenic spot has a radio introduction, so there is no need for a tour guide. Spring flowers, summer lotuses, autumn moon, and winter snow all have their own unique flavor.
