A complete guide to Beijing tourism

Friends who come to Beijing must try Beijing-style snacks. However, snacks must be authentic. Therefore, we recommend several snack bars in old Beijing that are worth visiting and have a good reputation. However, since we are eating snacks, we should not be in the mood of eating a big meal. The decoration is generally crude and old, which does not mean that it is unclean, but that we should look for that profound cultural heritage. In addition, snack bars can generally take out food, and they can also order food in the store.

Recommended reason: Beijing's most distinctive and well-known time-honored snacks gather together to appreciate the unique skills of real time-honored successors.

Several recommended scenic spots:

imperial academy

Business atmosphere: visitors' composition: 5% foreigners, 4% tourists, and 1% literate people can't help but admire the holy land. It used to be called Chengxian Street, and its name is very bookish. The street is spacious and shaded by the Chinese Sophora. The imperial academy and Confucius Temple inside are both cultural relics protection units and high-level clubs built by international designers. The incense of the Lama Temple makes it quite fairy here, and I can't help thinking about the past and dreaming here.

Dongsi Sitiao

Business atmosphere: tourists' composition: 5% eat after 8s, and 5% foreign tourists visit Dongsi Sitiao in the market. The hutong sandwiched by gray walls is very narrow, and there are almost no cultural relics. Food is the new trump card here. Dongsi Sitiao is doing the signboard of "Dongsi Impression", but it is not hot. The living style of the old residents is well maintained, with excitement and silence.

Wang Hongbin

Business atmosphere: visitors' composition: 5% foreigners, 5% Tiananmen visitors can see the street of the Forbidden City Corner, which is spacious and sunny. There is no lively business atmosphere. High-end restaurants put small signs in front of their doors. There are many foreign guests in both Chinese and English. There is no obvious signboard in the coffee shop, and there are not many guests, but they all stay for a long time. It seems to be a habit to operate behind closed doors. They attract regular customers and distant guests who come here.

Nanluoguxiang

Business atmosphere: visitors' composition: 5% foreigners, 4% foreign tourists, 1% students being exploited crazily, making full use of all the space. A small corner can be made into a storefront, octopus balls, and a French toast shop. In a palm-sized place, there are dense people waiting for food. Cafes are also full of coffee customers looking at the crowd back to back, like the streets of Paris, regardless of the crowd, sipping hot coffee. It's crowded, utilitarian and commercial, but there's nothing I can do. She's like a girl in the performance department with thick makeup on her face, which is a bit fake but seductive.

Yandai Xiejie

Business atmosphere: visitors' composition: 3% foreigners, 7% tourists from Houhai are feasting at night, and guests from Houhai will visit these small shops one by one. We are engaged in creative themes, but compared with Nangong, we don't just see matches, matches and creative matches. Petty bourgeoisie, a brand shop from Taiwan Province, has a strong flavor. When you think that creativity will run out one day, the smoke-filled diagonal street will give you some hope.

Zhonglouwan Hutong

Business atmosphere: visitors' composition: 2% foreigners, 8% bars in Zhonglouwan, where petty bourgeoisie is not a climate, and there are many surprising mini-restaurants. The windows facing the street are pushed outward, and there are large cups of hot chocolate in the window, and the branches outside the window are the prospects for the Drum Tower. Bell Tower Bay, which is quiet and quite a bit of a character, has never learned to imitate the vulgar business atmosphere. When will the small shop run by my duty be known to everyone?

Liulichang

Business atmosphere: visitors: 2% foreigners, 5% calligraphy lovers, and 3% curious people. After rebuilding, Liulichang has become a secular commercial street, full of tourist souvenirs, full of curious and perplexed outsiders. In addition to the respected publications in Rong Baozhai and China, the grey brick walls in Waxin and the scarlet traditional buildings in China are deliberately even inferior, which is quite similar to the famous painting and calligraphy theme street "Shuyuanmen" in Xi 'an.

Four steps to Beijing tourism:

1. Travel:

1. It is best to book hotels online in advance, such as 7-day chain hotels, home inns, Super 8 hotels, and try to book hotels near Tiananmen Square, Qianmen, Wangfujing, Xidan and Dongdan if possible, so that it is close to the tourist attractions in the city and convenient to travel.

2. Book the air ticket or train ticket to Beijing in advance, and the arrival time should be noon as far as possible. When you get off the train or plane, you can find the booked hotel, put away your luggage, have lunch, have a rest and adjust, then go around the hotel, get familiar with the surrounding environment, and check the bus and subway transfer lines from your residence to various scenic spots online if possible to make travel worry-free.

3. Plan your own itinerary, which scenic spots you want to visit, whether it is a self-help tour or a group tour.

4. The scenic spots that must be visited in Beijing include Tiananmen Square, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Badaling Great Wall, Ming Tombs, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan, Olympic venues, Gongwangfu, manjuji, Beihai Park, Old Beijing Hutong, Xidan, Wangfujing, Qianmen Street, Houhai, etc. You can choose to go to the scenic spots by bus or subway, or you can choose a regular local one-day tour group. But it is important to remind you that in order to protect your rights and interests, please choose the "one-day tour to Beijing" service provided by regular travel agencies. Don't trust the tourist routes recommended by the tourist promoters on the trains to Beijing; Don't participate in the "Great Wall Tour" in the hotel; Don't believe in the small tourist advertisements distributed in Tiananmen Square and the front door and the "black ticket" that uses "one-day tour" to attract customers. There are regular one-day tours on the Beijing Public Transport Tourism Network, which can be picked up at home for free in the morning.

5. If you want to go to the Forbidden City, you should take Jingshan and Beihai with you, because they are not very big, so you can visit them all in half a day. It's cool to get up early in the morning, go to Jingshan first, climb the mountain in two hours, and then go out of the west gate of Jingshan and go directly to the east gate of Beihai. You can go out of the south gate of Beihai, cross the road and take a bus, one stop. There is a restaurant over there, but I suggest taking the No.111 bus for one stop, getting off at Di 'anmen, and walking back to the crossroads. At the southeast corner of the crossroads, there is a Jitian snack. The food there is good and the price is reasonable. You can eat enough for 3 yuan per person. After dinner, go out and cross the street and take the 124, and you can get to the Forbidden City in three stops. Beijing Zoo, if you want to go to Beijing Zoo, you'd better choose summer. Although it smells bad, it's better than winter when animals can't see it and nothing can be seen:) Behind the zoo is the Beijing Aquarium, and you can also go in and see aquatic animals. Speaking of Aquarium, there is more than one in Beijing, and there is one underground of CCTV Tower, but it is far worse than this one in the zoo. Many travel agencies say that they go to Aquarium, but most of them refer to this one below CCTV Tower. Come out from the south gate of the zoo and walk west. There is a Carrefour supermarket. You can go around. The price is cheap in supermarkets in Beijing. You can buy something to take home.

In Yuyuantan Park, there are cherry blossoms to see at the end of March and the beginning of April every year, but personally, I think it is better to go to Japan to see them, because there are so many people there that nothing is comfortable, not only buying tickets, but also queuing at the door. In addition, if you travel to Beijing and the Beijing Zoo is not included in the tour route, don't come between April and November. Although it is colder, the tickets are nearly half cheaper, and if you are lucky, you may be able to catch up with the snow and see the snow scene, which may be the best for friends in the south. There is also a student at school, bring a student ID card, this thing can be used, tickets are half price.

Second, eat:

There is a good restaurant on Ping 'an Avenue, which is halal and called Manyun Building. Their sheep scorpion hot pot is good. You can try it. Get off at the North Gate of Beihai, cross the road and take the No.17 and No.118 Ping An Hospital Station (remember this station, it should be the next stop in Ping An Li), or ask the driver which station to get off at Zhao Dengyu Road, which has been verified, and just cross the road. About 5 per capita.-8 yuan. The Guijie Street in Dongzhimen is also good. There are restaurants next to each other, so you can go around. If you ask, it should be all good. Just take the subway to Dongzhimen. The average person is about 8. There is also the cool wings of Xidan, which is specialized in selling roast chicken wings. I heard it's easier to find, just ask around in Xidan. To the west of the zoo, there is a Haoshanghao Steakhouse at Baishiqiao Station, and the price is OK. Two people spent 8 yuan. One person ordered a set meal, including appetizing red wine, foamed black tea (refillable), bread, steak, macaroni and salad. There is a restaurant in Di 'anmen that goes its own way. The food tastes good. You can try it. The average person is about 3. By the way, this restaurant has no meat, and you can't smoke or drink. Take bus No.14, 18, 118 and 113 and get off at Kuanjie, and walk east at the intersection of Kuanjie for about 3 meters. There is also a vegetarian restaurant in Luoguxiang and Longfu Temple, which is quite good. Quanjude roast duck is hung on the stove. If any foreign friends want to experience the old traditional Beijing roast duck, they recommend going to Cheap Square. There is one outside Germany, which is stuffy in the stove. The cheap imitation of history is earlier than Quanjude. The traditional Beijing cuisine is the roast meat in the east and south, and the roast meat in the garden. The mutton in Bai Kui is also good. There may be many tourists who come to Beijing not only to travel, but also to taste Quanjude's roast duck. Personally, it is better to go to a medium-sized restaurant to eat roast duck. Although they have never been there, most old hotels in Beijing sell signboards, which are much more expensive than ordinary restaurants, such as Donglaishun and Quanjude. Also, try not to eat in Wangfujing. The food there is not expensive, and the taste is not very good. If you are really hungry, there is a snack in Wangfujing Pedestrian Street. I suggest going there. Because it is a chain store, the price should not be very expensive, and it tastes good and the price is reasonable. Tip: One thing to point out is that if anyone wants to taste delicious food in Beijing, Quanjude is still worth a visit, especially the one at the front door, which is very cultural. In front of Quanjude, there is a fast food restaurant facing the street. Don't go wrong, go inside, and you must order the expensive best roast duck. The taste is really different. As for other foods, there are many, and you don't have to go to Jitian and Snack Street. ) You can go to Zhongguancun to buy books. There is a book city, which is cheaper and all discounted. Or you can go to Zhongguancun Book Building, which seems to have seven floors. Also, if you want to buy computer accessories or other digital products in Zhongguancun, go directly to Dinghao Electronic Market. There are too many fake Hailong products. If you want to buy books in Zhongguancun, you can get off at the west of Zhongguancun Bridge and go west. If you want to buy computer accessories or something, get off at Zhongguancun South.

Third, OK:

After coming to Beijing, it is suggested to buy a bus card. Now there seems to be a card specially prepared for tourists. Now, the bus card in Beijing can take the subway by bus, with a 4% discount on bus, which means that it costs 4 cents (2% discount on lines above 9) for one ride, a one-time subway pass to 2 yuan and a taxi fare to 1 yuan. It is both economical and convenient. By the way, directions are always given by the southeast and northwest. Some friends may just arrive in Beijing and still can't tell the difference between the southeast and northwest. Don't worry, every street in Beijing has a street sign, which will tell the name of the street. The directions are written on both sides of the sign, which can help distinguish the southeast and northwest. The Temple of Heaven can be reached directly by bus No.39 at Beijing Railway Station. After visiting the Temple of Heaven, you can go to Hongqiao Wholesale Market to find clothes and bags.

4. Play:

The Natural History Museum seems to be near the overpass. You can take the No.15 bus and get off at the overpass. China Science and Technology Museum can take the No.21 bus, or take the No.47 bus at the west gate of ditan park. There is the China Science and Technology Museum. The planetarium is opposite the zoo, so the observatory can take the loop subway (Metro Line 2) and get off at Jianguomen Station. The Military Museum can take Metro Line 1, or take No.1, No.4 and No.52 on Chang 'an Avenue, and get off at the Military Museum Station. Jianguomen and Fuxingmen are interchange stations for Metro Line 1 and Line 2. Dongzhimen and Xizhimen are interchange stations for Metro Line 2 and Line 13. There are three amusement parks in Beijing, one is Shijingshan Amusement Park, the other is beijing amusement park and the other is Happy Valley. Shijingshan Amusement Park can take Metro Line 1 and get off at Bajiao Amusement Park Station, and Beijing Amusement Park can take Bus No.116 and Bus No.6 at Chongwenmen, and get off at the main station. Game fans can go to Di 'anmen, which is a video game street, with everything from PS2, PSP and Xbox, and a large number of game discs for sale.
