Transportation: train round trip, are on the train overnight to save time. In the subway station to buy a card, proved to be very good, and affordable, can be shared by many people. Public transportation 1 yuan as long as 40 cents, but some bus lines are longer, is a section of the billing, then only to a person brush, because the car off to brush separately. Subway is not discounted. The subway, no matter how near or far, no matter how many times you transfer, it's only 2 yuan, which is so cheap that you can't even talk about it. The card must be returned to the Fuxingmen station, remember.
Accommodation: In the Internet to find the "Dawan Hotel" (Gan Yu Hutong and Dongdan North Street junction), direct phone call to the booking, no deposit, the conditions are general, but also passable, the key is the transportation is super convenient, so we are very satisfied. Beijing Station (Line 2) - Chongwenmen Station (to the No. 5 subway) - Dengshikou down, the total *** only 3 stops, from the exit with the direction of the "South" out of the road across the street! The "Dawan Hotel" is really close. We were so excited that we entered the hotel and registered for a room. They said verbally that they couldn't accommodate more people in a standard room, but we emphasized that we were a family and we had talked about it on the phone beforehand. They gave us a room anyway, and since the standard room B (smaller) was temporarily unavailable, it was upgraded for free to a standard room A (larger). 230RMB/day, no breakfast, credit card accepted.
Outing: the first day to Tiananmen Square. 5 line in Dongdan Station to line 1, Tiananmen East Station, total **** also 3 stations, the general subway station entrance has a description of the exit to go up to what are some places, so look at the right exit, a come up to Tiananmen near the front of the eye ah, towards the south a few steps, it is the National Museum of China, and continue to move forward, cross the street, come to the people's heroes monument under the father to take something in this waiting for us. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. We went to Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall in a relaxed manner, otherwise we would have to deposit our things across the street. After the security check, queuing, slowly moving in, there is a booth in front of the building in the open space can rent silk flowers or buy flowers, one person a, 3 yuan / stick. Into the hall is first a lobby, there is a carved alabaster statue of Chairman Mao, flowers on the dedication here. Then again into the inside of a, finally see Chairman Mao. The first thing you need to do is to take a picture of yourself in front of the Great Hall of the People.
Through the tunnel across the Chang'an Street, to the Tiananmen Square. Bags are to be hosted, shoulder bags 4 yuan / a / hour. Tickets 15 yuan / person. Climbed the tower pull, looking out over the People's Square. Down to the city into the Forbidden City. Tickets 40 yuan / person. Rent electronic narrator 10 yuan / a deposit of 100 yuan each. With Wang Gang version of the commentary, we walk and look. Through the Duanmen, Deng Duanmen and have to buy tickets, forget about not going. The largest Hall of Supreme Harmony, that is, the Hall of the Golden Emperor is under renovation process, can not visit. Passed by the Museum of Treasures and clocks and watches, because many people on the Internet talk about the treasures in the Museum of Treasures, we went to the Museum of Treasures, which also contains the East Six Palaces it is, so big. It's huge. It took me quite a while to get around, but my dad was still waiting outside. We came out and ate at the restaurant, 20 yuan a pouring rice or noodles, the taste is not bad, the amount is not much. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good meal, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get a good meal.
Including the six western palaces and the center of the Imperial Garden, Kuning Palace, Qianqing Palace. It is too big to walk to death, to later is to enter the door to stroll around, pull the leg to go, thinking of completing the task earlier, feel the legs to stroll off. Finally came to the last door, looking at Jingshan Park, the moat is very wide, the river has been frozen, the setting sun is very beautiful, very quiet. In the back door of the bus station picked a ride to Wangfujing. A card can only be in a different machine or the same machine at intervals to brush, coincidentally, the last on the bus, no one well separated, on the 1 yuan / person to buy a ticket, the price of the card is 0.4 yuan / times. Get off at Dengshi Xikou Station, walking along Wangfujing Street from north to south, passing Donglaishun Restaurant, walking gradually into the pedestrian zone, on both sides are a variety of stores. I found the Quanjude Wangfujing store, 4:30 to start business, but also early, across the street is the dog indifferent buns, but it only sells packages, do not sell individual buns.
Continue to walk, suddenly found the right labeled Wangfujing Snack Street, go in to see, quite a small place, there are a lot of people, we eat a little first. The time is almost up, go eat Quanjude Luo. Roast duck flavor is really good, is a thief expensive, half a duck 99, a drawer cake 10 10 yuan, green onion sauce 2 yuan / portion. This sauce is very good. The worst is still vegetables, 32 yuan starting price, we ordered a 36 yuan cabbage roasted chestnuts, very difficult to eat, there is a strange taste. Ugh, I regret not ordering it. Erguotou 12 yuan, asked for a bottle, mushroom pot the cheapest small portion of 68, the taste is good, soup 3 people enough to eat, but again regret ordering a cup of chrysanthemum tea. By the way, there is a 10% service charge. Total **** this meal ate 254. Afterwards summarized vegetables and chrysanthemum tea do not need to point, and then a drawer of cake, after all, the duck is very oily, and the cake together to eat is delicious.
After the meal walk back to the hotel, passing through the new Dong'an market, in fact, is a big mall like, inside the store a lot, did not properly stroll, visited. Live in the big Wan hotel downstairs intersection there is a Jinfeng Chengxiang cake store, and later on the street many times to see, it seems to be a good cake store, the flavor is also very good. Sent my father back to the hotel after we went to the legendary Xidan, on the No. 5 subway to Dongdan station for the No. 1 subway direct, next to the Junta Department Store and Zhongyou Department Store and other, the key is not active, shopping is not strong. Next to a China Resources Supermarket, go in and buy some snacks and drinks, poor us carry back, the next day found downstairs in the Express convenience store water cheaper.
The next day to go to the Great Wall. Subway No. 5 in Yonghegong station for the second subway in Jishuitan station, out of the station, took a one-stop bus to the Deshengmen, across the street, to a building like a city tower under the building, asked to sit on the 919 direct bus to Badaling. It is said that there are 6 routes on the 919, so make sure you ask. It is full of a car before leaving, we just happen to be the last few, good luck. Buy tickets for 12 yuan / person price, the bus card can be used, but also discounted, as long as more than 9 yuan. All the way smooth, take the highway, an hour looks like it arrived, but this bus terminal after getting off, all the way to the gondola ride, it's really a little far. We took the legs of the father, I also want to keep a bit of physical strength, went straight to the cable car. Tickets are 40 RMB per person, and the cable car is 60 RMB per person round trip. Riding the cable car wobbly to the north 7, 8 beacon between. There are a lot of tourists here, and it's quite busy.
We climbed half a floor to the 8th floor, which is the highest point of the Great Wall, some places are very steep, or even no steps, just a slope, good on both sides of the iron handrail. There are people taking pictures, in the background a "not to the Great Wall is not a good man" of the good man slope stone monument, although it is fake, although it is very cheesy, we still spent 25 dollars to do a certificate. Well, take the cable car back. After coming down, there is a big woman to tout customers, said one person 10 dollars to send us to the Thirteen Tombs. Then think about it should not be possible, right, a long way ah. We got on the 919 to Changping, sat for a long time, more than 1 hour, put us in a place called Changping, the roadside did not see a clear Changping station bus sign, only a slip of black taxi. We still called one, otherwise it seems that there is no way to get to the Thirteen Tombs ah. 40 dollars including the Shendao and Dingling.
First to the Shendao, 20 yuan / person admission. Both sides are carved stone animals and civil and military officials, quite interesting, these in the later Dingling Museum to see the introduction, can be unearthed real it. Few tourists, the weather is very good. When I got out of the shrine, the taxi was already waiting there. And drove a little bit of road, I think the 13 Tombs if you drive that is the most appropriate. I think it would be best if we drove ourselves. The points are spread out. Time is limited, we only went to the Dingling Mausoleum, which is the one with the underground palace. The Dingling Mausoleum tickets 45 yuan / person, attractions and the Thirteen Tombs Museum, Dingling Mausoleum Museum exhibits some of the excavated relics treasure. The underground palace does give people a solemn and solid feeling, which puts an emperor and two empresses, as well as accompanied by a number of small boxes. Out is already 3:30 pm, we think quite early, the result of the 22 road fast bus, 5 yuan / person (can not brush a card), all the way does not seem to fast, the old stops, but also take some small roads, go to some of the suburbs like the place. It took almost 2 hours to get to the terminal, which is also the starting point of subway line 5, Tiantongyuan North. However, we are also all the way to the good in today's mausoleum or to go, the morning of the 919 ticket agent also said that the time is relatively tight, suggesting that we go back another day, if we go back another day, that is twice as long from the mausoleum back to the time, it is really a little bit of food.
On line 5 did 17 stops to Chongwenmen station to change line 2 to Qianmen station down. We went to eat the old Beijing fried noodles on the west street of Qianmen. Hungry, two bowls of noodles (8 yuan / bowl), a lettuce (12 yuan), a fried tripe (dipping sauce is good, fried tripe itself is not very good), a roasted leg of lamb, a bowl of squash and shredded pork soup, anyway, **** 77. We left the stomach to go to Dajiejie to eat, but the result is in fact, there is nothing there, there is the old cloth shoes store, super expensive. Some of the old silk shops were closed. We bought two buns to try, 8 yuan each! Also bought a box of Ai Wo Wo, is the glutinous rice ball, the latter two days in the store to see 1 yuan a, certainly bigger than this, and loss, 10 yuan 6 Mimi small, and the bread is only bean paste, no book written what walnuts and other ingredients, well. Most of them are some vulgar to death tourist souvenir stores. Qianmen Street is being repaired, the surrounding make all to be demolished like. The front door still looks good, under the light of the beautiful, Dad said and the cigarette box on the same. We also argued whether the Arrow Tower or the Zheng Yang Men in the back is the same as the front gate on the cigarette box. After sending dad back, it was already late. However, we still do not die of heart, playing 24 yuan to the Yansha, is about to close, out, we cross the street, to a bus station Liangmaqiao Road station, take the last 420 back to the lamp city west exit to go back to the hotel are 23 o'clock, by the way, downstairs, fast customer (24-hour convenience store) to buy a hot coffee, really good, but also bought and the hotel to provide the same Kangshifu mineral water, the poor us from the supermarket to carry it back. It's still cheap here only 1.3 yuan.
The third morning sleep a little late, and so out to 9 o'clock, and asked again to confirm the Gan Yu Hutong inward, almost to the head of the breakfast store, three people ate 12 yuan very full, pancakes, fried bread soybean milk, doughnuts are very good. Dad went to the train station, he went back first. We went to the Summer Palace. 5 subway Hepingxiqiao station, change the bus 718 road until the Summer Palace. It's quite a long way to the Summer Palace. Along the way, we saw the Capital University of Sports, Beijing Film Studio, Dazhong Temple, People's University, etc. The weather was very good, and there was no traffic jam on the road, so it was nice to see the cityscape, but it was a little slow. Later we realized that in fact the subway to sit to the Wudaokou, and then find a car to the past fast, but not by bus also sightseeing well. Summer Palace tickets off-season 20 yuan / person, inside a good big it, the doorway old lady hand bought a guide map 1 yuan, quite good.
The scenery is very good, even if the grass round also spent two hours. Then go to Beida Qinghua. (Found out that there are a lot of buses here that go to the nearby Yuanmingyuan. That can be arranged if anyone wants to go. There are also Olympic venues not far away, which can be arranged in one line.) Originally intended to Beida West Gate into the East Gate out, I did not expect to find the original intention of the bus, took one to the East Gate of Beida. Soon after going in is the unnamed lake and Boya Tower, take pictures, through the campus from the west gate, but walked a west side door, look at the school gate without a beautiful on a hit, the result is just starting to see the ancient gate, here do not let down, can only be in the car to take a picture. Hit this wanted to go to Tsinghua, happened to pass the classical west gate, the driver master said this is the historic school gate, the other is the east gate is modernized. So we pull over, take pictures and go, time is too tight, directly to the Wudaokou light rail station by taxi. Transfer to the east gate of the Temple of Heaven station on line 5. Outside is the Temple of Heaven. We first bought a ticket to the park, 10 yuan / person, inside a lot of older people playing cards, chess, opera, singing, knitting, knitting handmade, very lively. I would like to stop buying tickets, only far from the photo, but not to buy can not, across the fence, and then buy 20 yuan / person.
Inside is the Hall of Prayer, really very beautiful, the setting sun shines on it, brilliant, we really think this is the most beautiful attractions. There were explanations every 20 minutes or half an hour, just in time for us. Then we went further south to the Echo Wall. There were a lot of tourists and people yelling very loudly. We were about 1/3 of a circle away from each other and could no longer see each other, and it was amazing how softly we spoke into the wall and it sounded like we were in the neighborhood. Hubby actually thought I was turning my head back to look at me from the side. It was amazing and so much fun. Hurry forward again, is a Huanqiu altar, the outer square and inner circle symbolizes the circle of heaven and earth, the platform, is the former place to engage in ceremonies, right. Well, hungry out of the south gate, we found located in the Temple of Heaven on the East Road, Cheap Square duck restaurant, and the whole Jude hanging oven roast duck is different, this is a smothered oven roast duck, the flavor is different, the skin will not be crispy, the key is the sauce is not as good as the whole Jude. The key is that the sauce is not as good as Quanjude's. Also, the cake is colder, and even though it was replaced with a new drawer, the air conditioner may not have been turned on enough, but it still got cold quickly, and the skin would be harder. I think it was 60 for half. Also ordered a bad slice of fish 30, is a special signature dish, seems to be general, but the garlic broccoli is quite tasty, but to 20 dollars, here how vegetables are so expensive. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a beer, and you'll be able to do it in a few minutes.
Out the door and walk to the subway station, a little far away from the entire length of the Temple of Heaven Park, ah, walked for a while, but on the way past the eighteen street twists of the specialty stores, buy some. Also passed what corset fire burn, enema and other snack stores, but too full, can not eat again. Finally walked to the subway station, line 5 to Dongdan station to transfer line 1 to Yonganli down, out of the Xiu Shui Street, now this place has been remodeled, is indoor stalls form, a lot of people. I visited and withdrew. I went to look for the Ritan Business Building written in the book, according to the map and GPS in Guanghua Road to the west before reaching Jianhua Road to find. Still in business, there are dozens of small stores on the three floors inside, and it is said that things are very chic, even brought from abroad, and many white-collar workers and celebrities will patronize from time to time. Come out and walk along Jianhua Road, along the way are all the embassies, the door are sentries, there are patrols passing by. It's a very special feeling, but when it's dark, you can't see the buildings clearly. Passed by the famous Friendship Store, I read that this is mainly for foreigners, selling some Chinese specialties, do not need to go in. When I came to Jianguomennei Street, I saw the Beijing People's Broadcasting Station (BPRS), which is a big building. A few steps to the west is the famous Saite Shopping Center, the layout of which is like an old-fashioned department store, but things are quite expensive. Well, I'm done shopping, let's go back. Went back to the cake store and Quickie for food.
On the fourth day, I got up early and hurried to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising (the time of flag-raising varies every day, and can be found on the Internet, and recently it was about 7:30), and there were already some people there, but I stood on tiptoe and still saw the flag-raising platform. The young men from the national flag class carried the flag out of the Tiananmen Square citadel, and no cars passed on Chang'an Street at this time. The flag-raising was completed with the national anthem three times. Then go back to the hotel to check out of the room, luggage is stored there, free of charge. Sitting on line 5 in Datun Road East, looking for public transportation did not find, played a taxi to the "Bird's Nest", 10 yuan, or construction site it, not allowed to get close to, can only be far away, partial photo shoot. And then a shot to the Water Cube, the master stopped on the side of the road, let us take pictures, and then continue to send us back to the subway station, 19 dollars. Next to go to the Yonghegong, the largest Lama Temple, from an exit up, walked for a while, only to the door, 25 yuan / person ticket, but also with a small CD-ROM, go home and look at it is not bad, 4 minutes and a half minutes of the introduction. We enter from the front door, all the way to see down, the last hall is the most famous Buddha, is carved and painted from a piece of wood. Ah, it's several stories high, it was a shock to see it in person. The video says 18 meters above ground and 8 meters below.
From the back door, take the No. 2 subway to Gulou Street, out of the subway, take the 60 bus, through the Gulou, take one stop to the Gulou station. There are hutongs on both sides of the road. On the right hand side to see the smoke bag diagonal street, turn in, a lot of stores on both sides are not yet open it, this is 11 o'clock. As I was looking for the toilet, I turned my head to the left and realized that I could already see Qianhai, so I hurriedly went through. Once out of the alley on the right hand side appeared a Chinese old-fashioned: Dongxingshun * popping belly Zhang. We thought the first two days of eating is not good may not be authentic, and went in to eat a meal, here can be really professional, there are seven or eight kinds of tripe it, price, parts are different. We ordered a kind of popping sheep scattered Dan 20 dollars a plate, small ingredients 3 dollars. We also ordered haggis soup 4 dollars and fried dates rolled fruit 10 dollars. The flavor was okay, but I'm still not used to the tripe. The window seat can just look at the Shichahai water view, quite beautiful. Just wipe his mouth and lift his feet out of this, and see a Chinese old-fashioned barbecue season, this I saw in someone else's travelogue, quite famous, into the door to see the national restaurant, no way, and then eat it, but really can not eat more. Ordered the menu on the first page of the first, the traditional roast lamb bar, 68 yuan a copy, and then order two matching eaten baklava, 1 yuan a. The first one is the same as the second one, the second one is the same as the third one. A complimentary plate of copious hemp tofu or something, not good at all. Waiting for a while, barbecue meat up, eat a bite, wow, too delicious, a big plate of mutton, we eat a bite of you and I eat a bite of the whole, with the sesame seed burrito is thicker, after the meat into the sandwich, it seems that the meat flavor is not obvious, and the main we are very full, so we did not finish. Touching the round belly, wipe the oil mouth, we walked out. Walked across the silver ingot bridge, drilling hutongs, slowly touched the Gongwang Mansion, the ticket is another 20 yuan, the set of tickets (including to see the show, snacks, etc.) but also 60 it. We do not have enough time, forget it.
Get on a yellow car 10 dollars, we let him to the bus station. But did not see the right car, we still hit the last stop is located in Xuanwumen SOGO Department Store, is the Sogo Department Store, found that the fumble so many days, this is the best place to shop, the activity is full of 100 minus 50, there are a lot of special sales, but due to time, it is difficult to be quiet to look carefully. We went out of the main entrance, to the right, in the passing Goodwill cake store bought snacks train to eat. Looking at the time, just in case, we split up, I went to Fuxingmen to return my bus pass, and my husband went to the hotel to get his luggage. Although different staff told me different refund points, I still believe the first person said, in the Fuxingmen for. As a result, I had a smooth journey and returned it without even leaving the station, and further confirmed to them that this was the only place I could return it! I got to Beijing Railway Station quickly, and it was quick since it was all line 2 and not changing lines or exiting the station. And husband round after the train station in the KFC to buy on the food on the train pull. Soft sleeper also with TV, in fact, is inside a very old a few movies can play. Toilet with paper, each room has a kettle, each person has slippers. The conditions are really good. The night went to bed early, so tired ah, these days, play is also really very happy and satisfied.
