It seems that my summer vacation is inseparable from Beijing. I went to practice in 2017, learn software in 2016, and learn hand-painting in 2015... In the past few years, without exception, I went there to study, and I went alone.

of.

This year is different. I went to play with my best friend, but in her words - she had a shooting assignment.

My best friend majored in directing at the Academy of Fine Arts. What she usually does the most is watch movies, edit videos and take photos. She leads a poetic and picturesque life, so this trip is particularly literary and fresh.

We only planned for two days, so when we were making a guide, we screened out places that would definitely be crowded, such as the Nanluogu Lane of the Great Wall and Forbidden City.

Next, go directly to the itinerary.

Day 1: 798 Art District - Broadway - Sanlitun - Guijie 1.1: 798 Art District 798 is the first place we went to this time. It is not a niche attraction, but it is highly recommended to visit. There are many things inside.

It's beautiful and not crowded.

In addition, the most famous exhibition area in the 798 Park is the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art. It is a paid exhibition hall with a ticket of 10 yuan. It is open for free every Thursday and closed on Mondays. There are often exciting and novel exhibitions, so be sure to go and learn about it.

.

1.2: It was already afternoon after visiting Broadway Cinema Center (Wanguocheng Branch) and Kubrick Bookstore 798. We were a little tired, so we took a taxi to Broadway to watch a movie.

The reason why I chose the Wanguocheng store is partly because of its good looks, and partly because of the nearby Kubrick Bookstore (well, it’s still because of its good looks).

Some films that have been released and classic films will be screened here. We went to watch the Cantonese version of "Journey to the West". At that time, Zhu Yin and Karen Mok were really beautiful.

1.3: Sanlitun. I went to Sanlitun purely because I fantasized about meeting my idol there... (ok, I dreamed), but after all, Sanlitun is the night symbol of Beijing, and in recent years, it has become famous because of Page One and Old Bookworm Bookstore.

, is becoming more and more artistic, so it doesn’t hurt to go there.

1.4: Guijie Street. Guijie Street is known as Beijing’s restaurant street. It only becomes popular after 10 o’clock every night, so it was once called a “ghost street”.

Ninety percent of the shops here are in the catering industry. There are more than 130 shops in the street that is more than one kilometer long. Restaurants are lined up in rows with red lights hanging high. Many restaurants are open 24 hours a day. It is quiet elsewhere at night, but the lights are on here.

There are many embassies near Guijie Street, and foreigners also like to come here to eat, ranging from the old Beijing’s special braised stew and fried tripe, to crayfish, gluttonous frog, Chongqing grilled fish, etc.

The most popular restaurants on Guijie Street are at the east and west ends.

It was getting late after eating at the night market, but luckily there was a night bus.

The next day: Fangjia Hutong - Wudaoying - Lama Temple - Jingzhao Yin - Confucius Temple and Imperial College - Parkview Green. In fact, the route on the second day is very convenient, and the scenic spots are very close, so you can go to any scenic spot first.

Yes, we just arranged it this way to get stuck in eating Jing Zhaoyin’s afternoon tea snacks.

2.1: Fangjia Hutong Fangjia Hutong is known as "Mini 798". It is one of the oldest hutongs in Beijing and an emerging cultural and creative district. It retains the Xunjun Prince's Mansion and the Fangjia where Mr. Lao She was the principal.

Hutong Primary School also has international-style restaurants and studios.

The "Trainspotting Movie Restaurant" here often shows literary movies; the "Hot Cat Club" is a music bar with a rock and reggae theme; "Emon Town" serves authentic Yunnan cuisine; "Phoenix Claws"

It is very popular; there is also the "Red Leaf Shinan" cafe, which mixes Chinese and Western styles.

2.2: Wudaoying Hutong is smaller and fresher than Fangjia Hutong. There are many creative shops here, and many shopkeepers here open in the afternoon, so it is best to visit in the afternoon.

2.3: Yonghe Temple, Jingzhao Yin, Confucius Temple and Imperial College were going to Jingzhao Yin, and Yonghe Palace and Confucius Temple and Imperial College were close to each other, so we went together.

I would like to highlight Jing Zhao Yin’s afternoon tea set, which is delicious.

The first layer is filled with various cakes and mousses, the second layer is filled with slightly refreshing desserts, and the bottom layer is Jing Zhaoyin’s most popular Chinese desserts. Each dessert is extremely exquisitely made and uses only the best fruits.

All are the freshest.

Afternoon tea is served from 14:00 to 17:00, and there is music playing in the middle, which is very atmospheric.

2.4: Parkview Green Parkview Parkview Green is a new landmark in Beijing that gathers top shopping, offices, hotels and modern art. It is also known as the most artistic luxury mall and is worth a visit.

In addition, there are many delicious food on the ground floor of the mall.

In the evening, I went back to the hotel and lay down directly.

Let’s talk about accommodation.

The hotel this time was the Chaoyangmen Mercure Hotel (formerly Beijing Ritan International Hotel) booked on the official website of Huazhu Hotels. It is located in the center of Beijing's most international business district, Guomao Business District, Jianwai Business District and Chaowai Business District.
