Jiankou Great Wall (adventure, collecting, and relaxing)

It ranks as the most interesting place because I have been there almost four or five times. Except for late winter, almost Been there in every season. Another time I went over the mountains from Sihai Town. I feel happy every time I click on the button. Every time I go, I meet waves of special friends. There are not only the Great Wall, but also the sea of ??clouds, thrilling and difficult mountain roads, simple farmers, and memories of my youth. . . The first most fun place, I think.

2. Miyun Reservoir (leisure, relaxation)

Beijing is not close to the sea and lacks water, so Miyun Reservoir is the largest piece of water. The water on the north shore is as open as the sea, and there is a row of radio telescopes looking up to the sky; on the south shore are fish ponds, stilt houses, and cruise ships. There is a road on the east bank that goes around the lake, and on the west bank there are winding mountain roads and canyons. In early summer, it is a very pleasant experience to eat fish at a fisherman's restaurant on the south bank and watch the clouds reflected on the water. I once rode a bicycle on the West Bank to experience the thrill of going downhill. I also saw a meteor shower on the north coast. Of course, one drop drops every ten minutes. I once saw a huge five-color meteor sliding across the sky and disappearing in the biting cold wind of early winter.

3. Xidan (shopping, movies, food)

A friend of mine said that she once liked to watch those little kids in exaggeratedly dressed clothes on the edge of the patio of the Cultural Square. Xidan is indeed a colorful place. Some people say it is the fashion center of Beijing U22. But for people who have more purchasing power than U22, Xidan is not only this. It has large shopping malls with discounts every day, a book center, a movie city, and two good Sichuan restaurants, Yuxin and Mala Temptation, to the east. The Lao Shaanxi Main Store, Huajiang Dog Meat and Brazilian Barbeque in the west are also pretty good. If you start to fall in love, Xidan can serve as your "one-stop love service center."

4. Pan-working area (nightlife, eating, drinking, entertainment, sports)

That is the nightlife area of ??the CBD. I like the former Sanlitun South District. It's relatively quieter and quieter there. I don't have any other words to describe it. Anyway, it's been demolished now. I don't like Sanlitun North District. It has been three years since I went to a bar in Sanlitun. Actually, I'm not a clubbing person. Later, I went to some nearby pubs and DISCOs, and I felt like a lifeless monitor, not even in the mood to watch the excitement. Some people may agree that anyone who can wander around there all night without thinking has a physical problem. I have no problem with my physiology, but my problem is that I hate the way that makes me drunk and crazy. In the Pan-Gongti area, what I miss most is the "Old Beiping Mutton Soup", the dark green mutton soup. There is also the old Shaanxi Workers' Sports Store, the Red Rose Restaurant, the billiards city built with iron houses, the Poly Theater, and the Pacific Department Store.

5. Zhongguancun (IT, books, electronic waste)

Technology changes everyone’s life and even their attitude towards life. Zhongguancun is the place where most IT vendors gather in Beijing. In their attitude towards life, little integrity and duty have been evolved. Occasionally, I can meet a few honest people. They are the rare people in the village who have no pursuit. That's a bit harsh to say. Thanks to the development of the IT industry, the goods coming off the assembly line can basically maintain a 99.99% pass rate. Those who occasionally come across a batch of defective products are a winner. There are very few serious college graduates among those selling high technology in the village. Pulling a trolley to buy computers is the current situation of "China's Silicon Valley Core Business District". But it always has some magic that induces me to go shopping every now and then. Take a look at what high-tech gadgets are popular on the market. Occasionally, there will be times when people’s eyes light up and they can’t help but say, this gadget is really awesome. Walking around the village, I feel like I'm traveling on annual vacation, as if I'm on Chandnichuk Street in Old Delhi.

6. Shichahai (commercialized old Beijing, a place so old that people feel at ease)

I was lucky enough to go to Shichahai before it became the second bar street in Beijing. Two trips to Shichahai. Kong Yiji’s Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine and the nine-day skating rink made me feel good about myself. Later, there were so many bars in that area that it was difficult to find a fresh and quiet feeling. Think about it, when the waiters in the bar are soliciting customers just like the computer sellers in Zhongguancun, what fun can there be there? Another Chandnichuk Street shell. After SARS, the term "old Beijing" was completely reduced to a mass consumer product. That's Shichahai's fault. When you are walking around Yinding Bridge and Yandai Xiejie, you should pay attention to whether the tourist souvenirs you buy are produced in Yiwu. However, without impulsive spending, on a working day afternoon, I hope you can appreciate the memories of Peking from the mottled shadows of the trees. It's like I don't like it there that much. If you really need to go to a bar with a group of friends you meet every day, I still recommend going to Shichahai. The bar there has a bit of the flavor of Sanlitun South District back then. I mean, after all, there is an aura left by the ghost of the old thing there, which allows people to sit still, forget about the slavish admiration of clubbing, and soak in it as deeply as a bath.

7. Xiangshan (mountain in the suburbs, weekend leisure, stray cats)

Xiangshan is the closest mountain to Beijing.

You can go hiking on weekend mornings to lose weight. There are several temples at the bottom of the mountain. There are many stray cats around the temple. I don’t know why there are so many stray cats in that area. Because Xiangshan is the closest to Beijing, you can drive, take a taxi, or take a bus to Xiangshan any night, if your mood is not good enough or good enough. Although Xiangshan is dark in the evening, it is rare and quiet. In the middle of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the glitzy capital, giving you a feeling of being outside the world. Xiangshan opened a carving time. Business there is not particularly good on weekdays, there are few people, the coffee is delicious, there are two cats, and the environment is quite bourgeois. Even an uneducated person like me feels... refreshed after going there. I have no choice, I have no culture, I can only say "cool".

8. Guomao Subway Station (sunny high-rise building)

It’s a bit of a make-up, and I can’t think of the eighth fun place. Maybe I'm too sleepy, it's already 2:30 in the morning. At 12 o'clock, Sun's mother gave me an inspiration to write something on this theme. I thought about writing something like "Xishuiyu Huanghuacheng". But it’s too boring to write about hiking-treking stuff all the time. I think this is more like a memoir. I will write down all the places that I find interesting in recent years. So I thought of Guomao Subway Station under Sun Ma’s prompting. I think one of the reasons why I decided to join Silicon Valley Dynamics was that I was blinded by the prosperity of the Guomao area... The Guomao area is indeed very different. It's not like Beijing, it's more like real life. When I was sitting by the elevator in the food court downstairs of Building 2 eating braised pork rice, my male colleagues and I were talking about the thighs of the female white-collar workers from foreign companies that were rising up and down in front of us. I also lay on the railing above the skating rink and watched the little foreign kids playing ice hockey below. Donald Duck and I climbed over the railing of the Chinese back garden and lay down on the free sun loungers to take a nap. I also overheard a fashionable old woman in her forties exaggerating on the phone that Chaoyangyan was masculine in a barber shop. Another time I was almost stepped on by Mercedes-Benz in front of Haagen-Dazs. The most interesting thing is Sun’s mother’s words. When he was not working, “I walked out of the Guomao subway station. The sun was shining that day, and I felt very good. Thorough! It was a strange feeling. I felt particularly quiet and calm that day. There was a sense of honor and disgrace. I can’t forget the feeling. I haven’t had it in so many years..." Guomao gave us a U25 memory. Those days were sunny, with some purchasing power, and carefree love.

9. Xinjiekou (taobao, small shops)

Let’s make up the numbers. I don’t go to Xinjiekou very often. It feels a bit like Taikang Road in Zhengzhou to me. It sells a lot of electronic equipment and pirated DVDs, and there are some old state-owned restaurants on the roadside, such as Qingfeng Baozi Shop. There are old houses everywhere, and the rent may be very cheap, so there are many small clothing stores, small toy stores, and small video stores. It is a shopping paradise for the small bourgeoisie. Some people say that the reason why the petty bourgeoisie is small is because its purchasing power is not high, but it still pursues sentimentality. This is too harsh, who said it? Pull it out and whip him. Everyone in Xinjiekou drowned him with spit. Obviously he has not studied economics and does not know the classic theory that "price is the highest price consumers are willing to pay at the margin." Pay less and get more. This is the fundamental need of human beings. Human beings are all "petty bourgeois" in nature. However, Xinjiekou’s products other than DVDs seem to have become too mediocre in recent years. Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten older and my tastes have matured, and the petty bourgeoisie has become the old bourgeoisie, so I rarely go to Xinjiekou now. Transportation is also an issue. Improper and improper. There was also a terrible traffic jam. Anyway, Xinjiekou ranks ninth in my mind.

10. Maizi Store (Life)

The last one reminds me of Maizi Store. Walking inward from Nongzhan North Road, that area is the area where I have lived in Beijing for the longest time, roughly four years. The legendary Maizidian is the "Beijing Second Airport Side Road". The pornographic industry in this area is particularly developed due to the several five-star hotels in the surrounding area. But that was all underground work. In broad daylight, this area still has a very normal atmosphere. There are row upon row of high, middle and low-end residential communities. Chaoyang Park next to it is the largest urban park in Beijing. Chaoyang Park West Road is known as the Second Guijie Street in Beijing. Once the sun sets, it is bustling with lights and feasting. Look at my pursuit, there is nothing more than eating. The public security in Maizi Store is not good. Every year, we witness bag snatchers and fights once or twice. There are many foreigners living in the Damaizidian community, mostly from Eastern Europe and Africa. Nowadays, Maizidian is more prosperous. In the past, there was only a 24-hour porridge shed, but now there are 711 and Jindingxuan. But the cost of living here is not high. There are cheap supermarkets and fresh food markets, as well as street food stalls and Malatang. Maizidian is a living city that never sleeps.
