Graduation season is coming, and as a recent graduate, of course I have to take a quick trip. As our capital, Beijing is definitely our first choice for travel.

But there are so many scenic spots in Beijing, how should we choose?

Here, I will share with my friends two of the best travel routes that I think will definitely not let you down.

Table of Contents 1. Patriotic Inspirational Route (Tiananmen - Dongjiao Minxiang - Old Summer Palace - Badaling Great Wall) 2. Imperial City Relics Route (Temple of Heaven Park - Forbidden City - Shichahai - Summer Palace) 3. Travel Tips 1. Patriotism

The friends who take part in the graduation season trip on the communist route may be high school seniors who have just finished the college entrance examination and are ready to relax, or they may be college students who have graduated from senior year and are about to enter the society.

However, no matter which identity we have, I think we all need to take a patriotic and inspirational journey.

On this patriotic and inspirational route, we will pass by Tiananmen Square, sing the national anthem with many tourists from all over the country, and watch the five-star red flag rise slowly; we will pass by the Old Summer Palace and see the legacy left by the Western powers’ invasion of us in history.

We will climb the Badaling Great Wall and think about the rise and fall of the Chinese nation in history; we will pass through the folk alleys of the eastern suburbs and pass through various buildings from a hundred years ago, traveling through time and space.

Next, let’s start our journey!

First stop: Tiananmen Opening hours: 5:00-22:00 Tickets: Free and open Location: Chang'an Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing Reason for recommendation: As a newly graduated student, I believe everyone wants to see the front of Tiananmen

flag raising ceremony.

In front of Tiananmen Square, we and many tourists from all over the country sang the national anthem engraved in our hearts loudly as the national flag slowly rose.

In this process, we will experience the different patriotic feelings in the classroom.

Tip: You must check the exact time on the official website in advance, and arrive 40 minutes in advance.

In addition, everyone must bring their ID cards because security checks will be carried out.

(When queuing, you can go next to the east gate of the Great Hall of the People. The flow of people here is the least, and the queuing time is shorter than other places) Second stop: Dongjiao Minxiang Opening hours: Open all day Tickets: Free Location: West

It starts from Tiananmen Square East Road and ends at Chongwenmen Inner Street in the east. Reason for recommendation: The embassy building complex in Dongjiaomin Lane is the only remaining Western-style building complex in Beijing from the early 20th century.

Here, we can see a variety of retro Western-style buildings. Through these buildings, we can see the history of a hundred years ago, telling us that the happy life now is hard-won. We must cherish the present and at the same time

We will devote more enthusiasm to the construction of our future motherland.

Small suggestion: You may not be familiar with the history of Dongjiao Minxiang, but that’s okay. You can learn about the history of this place in advance.

Of course, you can dress beautifully. There are many beautiful buildings in these places, which are very photogenic.

Third stop: Old Summer Palace Opening hours: 9:00-19:00 Tickets: 10 yuan Location: No. 28, Qinghua West Road, Haidian District, Beijing Reason for recommendation: Old Summer Palace is an indelible historical mark left by the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of China.

The Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens can only see its original appearance on drawings.

I think the significance of the existence of the Old Summer Palace is that it serves as a wake-up call, reminding us not to forget the national humiliation. Only when individuals and even the country face the pain can we learn from it.

Small suggestion: Because the original Old Summer Palace was severely damaged, we need to listen to the audio explanation to understand its historical reasons.

In addition, we can also read about the history of the Old Summer Palace in advance. I believe you will have a deeper feeling after visiting.

Fourth stop: Badaling Great Wall Opening hours: 7:00-18:00 Tickets: 45 yuan Location: Badaling Station, Yanqing County, Beijing Reason for recommendation: We often hear people say, "You are not a hero if you don't visit the Great Wall." So, I think

As a graduate and a young person in the new era, it is very necessary for us to take a trip to climb the Great Wall.

We can see the traces of history through these ancient strongholds, and see our ancestors protecting our country and people at the foot of the Great Wall.
