when we talk about Chengdu, we will think of the delicious food here. The food here is really attractive, and Chengdu is also a very inclusive city. Beijing is naturally familiar to us. This is a diversified city, rich in culture and natural scenery!
So, if you choose to go from Chengdu to go on road trip, how do you plan your route? Actually, the plan is very simple. So, today, Bian Xiao will give you a good recommendation about the route information from Chengdu to Beijing and go on road trip!
the best route for Chengdu to drive to Beijing
the suggested route for the journey
"Chengdu-Mianyang Guangyuan Hanzhong Xi 'an Linfen Pingyao Ancient Town Taiyuan Wutai Mountain Baoding Beijing". There are many tourist attractions in these cities, especially Xi 'an 'an, Pingyao and Wutai Mountain.
the whole journey is about 19 kilometers. It is recommended to complete the trip in 5-7 days and arrive in Beijing.
Travel arrangements in Beijing (4-5 days)
There are many scenic spots in Beijing. It is recommended to reserve at least 4-5 days for sightseeing. I will introduce the sightseeing plan later. Here, let's talk about suggestions on accommodation and transportation in the city.
First, the control of self-driving cars
Beijing is a city beyond its limits. Foreign cars must apply for a permit to enter Beijing. The main traffic routes outside the Fifth Ring Road have registration points, but it will be a bit troublesome. It is suggested to find a free or cheap paid parking lot outside the Fifth Ring Road, park your car, take a taxi or take a bus into the city.
Second, the accommodation problem
1. Search for hotel reservations through online platforms such as Ctrip, Flying Pig and Honeycomb. Beijing is a popular city for tourism and business, with a large flow of people and a strong demand for hotel accommodation. It is recommended to book more than 1 days in advance to avoid the problem that there is no room in your favorite hotel.
2. Now BB and short rent are also very convenient and cost-effective, and they can cook and eat by themselves. You can consider renting a suitable BB from platforms such as Piggy short rent for a few days. When you play during the day, you can taste Beijing food and snacks outside. When I return to my residence at night, I can cook and eat by myself, saving some expenses.
3. When staying in a hotel in Beijing, you must choose a location near the subway station. The subway network in Beijing is very perfect, and the subway transportation mode is the first choice for visiting and traveling in Beijing. Therefore, when choosing a hotel, it is best to find one within 5 meters of the subway entrance.
4. Many famous hutongs and parks in old Beijing are mostly concentrated within the Second Ring Road. Therefore, it is recommended that the hotel be located within the Second Ring Road, so as to reach the main scenic spots conveniently and quickly and avoid spending too much time on the road.
5. Hotels can generally find economical or cheap business hotels, generally in the price range of around 3-4 yuan. If there are more than 2 hotels, most of them are home and seven days. The conditions are ordinary and the room is small, so it won't be too comfortable to sleep.
6. For the hotel room type, it is recommended to choose a twin room as far as possible. On the one hand, although the big bed room is 1.8m long, it is still uncomfortable for a family of three to sleep together. On the other hand, double beds can be put together to form an oversized bed of at least 2.4m If children don't like sleeping with you, they can also sleep separately.
Third, the traffic problem in the city
1. Try not to take a taxi because the traffic in the city is heavy. Many times the traffic jam is serious, so it is difficult to take a taxi in Beijing. I may not get on the bus after waiting for a long time. It is suggested that subway bicycles should be given priority, supplemented by public transportation, which is convenient and quick.
Return route
The suggested return route is "Beijing-Baoding Shijiazhuang-Handan Kaifeng-Zhengzhou Luoyang Shiyan Shennongjia Chongqing Chengdu", focusing on Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, Luoyang and Shennongjia. Chengdu is close to Chongqing. I think if you come to see it more often, I will.
The whole journey is about 23 kilometers. It is recommended to complete it in 5-7 days.
matters needing attention
the following preparations should be made for long-distance go on road trip.
1. Make a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the vehicle, change the engine oil, machine filter and air filter, check whether the brake system, tires, batteries and antifreeze are in good condition, and carry out maintenance and long-distance travel
3. Food for the trip, travel by car, and you may encounter the situation that you can't reach the shop in the village on the way, so bring enough food and drinking water just in case.
4. Commonly used drugs, motion sickness drugs, antipyretics, antidiarrheal drugs, etc.
A guide to scenic spots along the way from Chengdu to Beijing
Xi 'an
I suggest you stay in Xi 'an 'an for about 1 day. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, Shaanxi History Museum and Xi 'an Angu City Wall must go. Huimin street is famous, but it feels ordinary. There are a lot of pasta in Xi 'an, but I don't know if I can eat it.
Pingyao Ancient Town
Pingyao Ancient Town, together with Old Town of Lijiang in Yunnan, Huizhou in Anhui and Langzhong in Sichuan, is one of the best preserved ancient towns in China, which was founded in the period of West Zhou Xuanwang. The main attractions of Pingyao ancient city are Pingyao County Ya, Rishengchang Ticket Office, Confucian Temple, Qingxuguan, Pingyao Ancient City Wall, Wengcheng, Qiaolou and Dianjiangtai.
Wutai Mountain
I. Wu Ye Temple
Wu Ye Temple, also known as Wulongwang Temple, was built in the Ming Dynasty and is located in the Wanfo Pavilion in Wutai Mountain. It is one of the most popular temples in Wutai Mountain and is worth visiting.
Second, Xiantong Temple
Xiantong Temple, located in Taihuai Town, Wutai Mountain, is the second official temple in the history of China. It was built only a little later than the Baima Temple in Luoyang. It was also built in the Han Dynasty and has a long history.
Third, Tayuan Temple
Ta Temple is located on the south side of Xiantong Temple. This used to be the tower courtyard of Xiantong Temple. After the reconstruction of the stupa in the Ming Dynasty, it became a separate temple. Because there is a big white pagoda in the temple, it is called pagoda temple. The Great White Pagoda in the temple, called "Sakyamuni Buddha Pagoda", is the main symbol of the temple and the landmark building of Wutai Mountain. It is especially spectacular under the top of the red wall glazed tile.
four. Dailuo Temple
Dailuo Temple, commonly known as Xiaochaotai, is a small ancient temple with a long history. It is located on the steep ridge of Deluoding, and it takes a certain amount of physical strength to climb it.
Other scenic spots include Bodhisattva Peak, Shuxiang Temple and Nanshan Temple. They are basically located around Taihuai Town. It's a long way, so be sure to keep your strength and bring more food and drinking water.
In addition, it is highly recommended to watch the stage performance of See Wutai Mountain again. The scene is very shocking and generally highly praised. I'm sure you'll be glad you came.
Beijing
The first day:
Park, Temple of Heaven, Natural History Museum, Dashilan
The Temple of Heaven was the place where emperors of Ming and Qing Dynasties offered sacrifices to heaven, prayed for rain and prayed for a bumper harvest. The north side of Tiantan Park is round, and the south side is square, which means "the land of heaven and earth". The whole Temple of Heaven is divided into two parts: the inner altar and the outer altar. In the Temple of Heaven Park, there are many buildings, such as the Hall for Praying for the New Year, the Echo Wall, the Huang Gan Hall, the East-West Hall, the Gate for Praying for the New Year, the Chef, the Butcher Pavilion and the seventy-two long corridors.
At present, the Beijing Museum of Natural History is one of the major natural museums in China, with a large number of animal and plant fossils, such as the skull fossil of the ancient Yellow River elephant, the giant Mamen Xilong, and the three-tower Chinese bird, one of the earliest birds in the world.
Dashilan, not far from Tiantan Park, is a famous old street in Beijing, and it is also the epitome and essence of Beijing culture. The old hutongs and old brands in the block are the most suitable places to experience the old Beijing culture.
The next day:
Tiananmen Square, National Museum, Forbidden City and Beihai Park
On this day, you must get up early. It is best to get up at 4 o'clock and arrive at Tiananmen Square before 5 o'clock. Except in winter, the flag-raising time is usually around 5 o'clock. Arrive early in order to get a better position.
China National Museum is located in the east of Tiananmen Square, with a very large area and magnificent architecture. There are many national treasures in its collection, including many famous and precious historical relics, such as the Four Sheep Fangzun and the Simu Wuding, which are definitely worth visiting carefully with children.
this is the first choice for tourists coming to Beijing. It is the seat of the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing emperors, and it is also an important symbol of ancient civilization in China. Walking in the Forbidden City, you can truly feel the massiness of Chinese civilization and the glory of the Chinese empire.
Beihai, located in the northwest of the Forbidden City, is called "Three Seas" together with "China Sea" and "South China Sea". For those of us in the 197s and 198s, the deepest memory that Beihai Park brings us is the well-known song "Let's paddle", "Rowing the boat, adding fuel to the flames, the White Pagoda reflected on the sea, surrounded by green trees and red walls", which accompanied our childhood and brought us infinite reverie about Beijing, Beihai and White Pagoda.
Day 3:
Great Wall, Olympic Park, China Science and Technology Museum
People all over the world remember the Badaling Great Wall, the Great Wall in Beijing, China, because the great man of the century commented that "he who does not reach the Great Wall is not a hero". The Great Wall is an iconic scenic spot. When you visit Beijing, you must punch in. It is recommended to reserve most of the time and keep enough physical strength. I borrowed a friend's car to go there, which saved me some time. If I take the bus system, I suggest going out early in the morning.
I actually recommend Mutianyu Great Wall more than Badaling Great Wall is crowded with people. Mutianyu Great Wall is more steep and majestic, with beautiful scenery, and the key is that there are few tourists and it is not easy to crowd. It's convenient to take pictures.
I suggest going to China Science and Technology Museum first. China Science and Technology Museum is the only national science and technology museum in China. In addition to numerous science and technology exhibitions, there is also a science park especially suitable for children. Children can learn scientific knowledge through interactive games. The site area is large, so it is expected to reserve enough time for sightseeing.
after the science and technology museum comes out, you can find a place to eat first. In the evening, you can go to the Olympic Park. The Bird's Nest and the Water Cube are both scenic spots worth taking children to see. The lights at night hit the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, which is particularly beautiful.
Day 4:
Tsinghua University, Yuanmingyuan and Summer Palace
Tsinghua University, Yuanmingyuan and Summer Palace are all in Haidian District. They are very close to each other. You can visit the old school gate in Tsinghua and take photos to encourage your children to study hard. We skipped BalaBala.
Yuanmingyuan needs no emphasis. Lafayette's back garden is a symbol of the times and a monument to the humiliating rise of the Chinese nation. It's very educational to take the children to visit.
It is suggested to find a place to eat at noon and visit the Summer Palace in the afternoon.
The Summer Palace covers a large area, with a mountain in the north and many palace buildings in the Qing Dynasty. To the south is the famous Kunming Lake, where Lafayette spent his summer vacation. I went there at the end of July in midsummer. The climate in Beijing is very hot, but the microclimate in the Summer Palace is very comfortable and pleasant.
Day 5:
Beijing Planetarium, China Military Museum, Gongwangfu, Nanluoguxiang
This is the last day of the trip, and it will be full. It is recommended to start early in the morning.
The Beijing Planetarium is the first and largest popular science planetarium in China. There are many exhibition areas, 3D theaters, domes, simulation observation and many other exhibition facilities in the planetarium, which can help children fully understand astronomical knowledge and are very popular with children.
China People's Revolutionary Military Museum is the only large-scale comprehensive military history museum in China. It was built in 1959 and is one of the top ten buildings in the capital.
There are abundant weapons and equipment exhibits in the museum. The exhibition hall is divided into the Agrarian Revolutionary War Hall, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Hall, National Liberation War Hall, War Hall to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Ancient War Hall, Modern War Hall, Weapons Hall and Gift Hall. The central hall visited a large number of planes and chariots of all ages, which made people feast their eyes.
If there is enough time in the afternoon, I suggest going to Gongwangfu and Nanluoguxiang again. Gongwangfu is also a private residence in small Shenyang, which covers a very large area and has a beautiful architectural pattern. Gongwangfu experienced the historical process from the peak to the decline of Qing Dynasty, so it is said that "a Gongwangfu is half of history of qing dynasty".
Gongwangfu is the most intact Wang Fu architectural complex in China, with more than 3 architectural communities, with exquisite layout and extraordinary style.
Nanluoguxiang is a typical old hutong in old Beijing. Walking in the alley, looking at the quadrangles on both sides, the old people chatted in twos and threes, which was quite lively. But unfortunately, Nanluoguxiang has been extensively developed and turned into a shopping mall along the street. It is crowded all day. If you want to punch in, you can go at night.
Actually, there are quite a lot of places to go, and 4-5 days is a bit tight.
Other recommended scenic spots include: Lama Temple, Shichahai, Xiangshan Park, Jingshan Park, Ming Tombs, Taoranting Park, etc. Besides, there are so many former residences of celebrities in Beijing that I won't list them one by one.
Kaifeng
Kaifeng has always been known as the ancient capital of the Ten Dynasties. Since ancient times, it has been an important town in the Central Plains, with many historical sites and antique.
1. Dasuozi Islands
Formerly known as Jianguo Temple, it was founded in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Five Dynasties and Ten States, and was renamed Suoguo Temple in the Tang Dynasty. With a long history and strong incense, Kaifeng is recommended as the first choice.
Second, Tian Bo foreign clothes
The residence of Yang Ye in the Northern Song Dynasty, however, because of years of war, the original building has long been damaged, but now it has been rebuilt.
Third, Kaifeng Prefecture
In those days, it was the place where official Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture solved the case. However, this ancient building was destroyed by the flood. Now Kaifengfu is a rebuilt antique building, so you can go and have a look.
Fourth, Riverside Garden on Qingming Festival
Riverside Garden on Qingming Festival is a park with the theme of life and entertainment in the capital city of Northern Song Dynasty (now Kaifeng) based on the famous painting Riverside Scene on Qingming Festival by Zhang Zeduan in Song Dynasty. It covers a large area and has magnificent architecture, which is worth visiting.
There are other scenic spots such as Wuxia City in the Great Song Dynasty and Yuefei Temple in Zhuxian Town. If there is not enough time, it is not recommended to see it.
Zhengzhou
is mainly Songshan Shaolin Temple. Wushu comes from Shaolin in the world, so there is no need to introduce it. It's basically a waste of time to go to Henan instead of Shaolin Temple. There is also a scenic spot of the Yellow River, which you can visit when you are free. Not particularly recommended.
Luoyang
One Longmen Grottoes
Longmen Grottoes is a leading large-scale Buddhist grottoes in China, which has been listed in the World Cultural Heritage List. The works in the grottoes were carved in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with exquisite workmanship, huge scale and a large number. It's definitely worth finding out.
Second, Baima Temple
Baima Temple is the earliest temple in China, which was founded in the Han Dynasty. Because of many wars in Luoyang, Baima Temple was rebuilt many times. At present, many buildings and relics mostly come from the Ming Dynasty.
three. Laojunshan
According to legend, Laoshan is the retreat and practice place of Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, a temple was built on the mountain to commemorate it, which was later named the world famous mountain. Incense has flourished since ancient times. Laojun Mountain is a large area and steep mountain, which requires a lot of time and physical strength to visit. It is recommended to reserve enough time. There are many other scenic spots, such as Luoyang Museum, Baiyun Mountain, National Peony Garden, Jiguan Cave and Longtan Grand Canyon, so I won't introduce them one by one.
Shennongjia National Forest Park (Enshi)
Shennongjia National Forest Park is a world natural heritage, with 5A-level scenic spots and beautiful mountains and rivers. It is worth a visit.
Chengdu and Beijing are very popular tourist cities. Walking between Chengdu and Beijing is also a good travel experience when driving! However, because there are many scenic spots in the route, we still have to plan it well!
