Accommodation: Unnamed Hotel Nanluoguxiang Branch

Comments: It is still a long way to get to Nanluoguxiang on Line 6, but the commercial street in the middle is still very lively. The alleys like Maoer Hutong and Yuer Hutong that you walk twice in the morning have a Beijing flavor. The hotel facilities are very new, and those near them are also very new, and they look very refreshing. No noise and very quiet. The lobby is a Starbucks to drink some cold drinks. It takes only 20 minutes to walk to Shichahai. Overall very good, cost-effective, worth the experience. There is a housekeeper's phone number on the business card, and the things borrowed by calling are delivered quickly, and the front desk clerk is also very good. worth living!

2019.8.21 Shougang Park Wukesong Huaxi Chaoyang Joy City

First stop: Shougang Park.
As the capital, Beijing has always been responsible for the country's political center, cultural center, international exchanges, and scientific and technological innovation center, and naturally left behind many abandoned sites from the industrial era. Since the end of the 1990s, many abandoned industrial plants have been transformed into urban landmarks under the promotion of creative cultural industries and policy support, such as the most representative 798 Art District. This stage can be said to be "renovation of industrial sites 1.0" Version".
Shougang Park is located in Shijingshan District, Beijing. It was first built in 1919. With a history of 100 years, it has continuously written new chapters in serving the country with steel and strengthening the country with steel. Today, the transformation from a steel giant to a cultural and creative giant represents the transformation and upgrading of Beijing's industrial relations. During the transformation process of Shougang Park, it has undergone three turns called "the most legendary", "the most poetic" and "the most elegant". Like large and small factories, silos are very important buildings in the Shougang Industrial Park. Since Shougang officially stopped production in 2011, these buildings have gradually become dilapidated. However, after the designer's creative transformation, the silo in Shougang Industrial Park has been transformed into an office area with a full sense of design. At the same time, the holes of various shapes opened on the outer wall of the silo illuminate the dark The sun also brings fresh air. At present, the No. 6 silo has also been selected as the office building where the first batch of employees of the Olympic Organizing Committee are stationed, and it is called "the most legendary turn".

Shougang Industrial Heritage Park

Shougang Park, which I have seen countless photos on the Internet, I finally killed today. At first, I thought it would be fine to tell the security guard at the door just to tell the security guard at the door to go to Starbucks, but this time, I had to show my ID card to let in. But everyone, don’t learn from me, you still have to abide by the rules. The greenery, streets and buildings inside are really full of old industrial style, which is very suitable for taking pictures and walking around.

Shougang Industrial Heritage Park

Did you feel the industrial style of American blockbusters in minutes?

Shougang Industrial Heritage Park

This is my color correction in the later stage, and I still think this kind of black and white blockbuster is suitable for this place! When it came out, I really liked it.

Shougang Industrial Heritage Park

And this place that has appeared countless times in the photos of Internet celebrities is also so good that my little heart is beating! It is recommended to wear stiffer clothing when taking pictures here. Too small skirts and small freshness can't capture the domineering feeling here!

Shougang Industrial Heritage Park

Shougang Industrial Heritage Park

In fact, I want to come here this time because of the Starbucks here. When I was preparing for the entrance exam abroad, I gradually fell in love with the drinks of Starbucks because I liked to study in Starbucks. I felt that it was countless times better than countless milk tea shops in China, and I could adjust the style of the drinks by myself.

Shougang Industrial Heritage Park

So the destination is actually here! I wrote in other travel notes before that I like Starbucks in Japan very well and the sense of integration with local culture and architecture! And I want to come to Shougang's Starbucks entirely because the Starbucks here is completely integrated with the style of the industrial chimney behind. Although the main body of the building doesn't have any special features, the simpler it is, the more it highlights the simplicity and toughness here.

Shougang Industrial Heritage Park

Little mermaid and simple logo. It perfectly blends with the blue sky, green land, and brown waste iron wind in the distance. I like.

Shougang Industrial Heritage Park

I highly recommend that you must adjust the black and white tone when you go to shoot, you will definitely fall in love with your finished film.

Shougang Industrial Heritage Park

There is another big point! This is the office of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee in 2022! Let's be tall!

Shougang Industrial Heritage Park

Feeling really proud! We can finally apply for hosting both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics together! Proud of Beijing!

Shougang Industrial Heritage Park

The small well also shows the long history of Shougang, from 1919 to the present. I think Beijing should learn from Japan to do some such pattern processing on the manhole covers in the urban area, which can better highlight the urban style and historical culture. In this regard, I think we can learn from the practice of setting up urban cultural manhole covers in major cities in Japan. Complaining about my newly bought little shoes for grinding my feet to such an extent that I can't live without them. . .

Second stop: Chaoyang Joy City
Chaoyang Joy City is located in the core area of ​​the Chaoqing plate in the east of Beijing. Thanks to the eastward shift of the center of urban development, many high-end residences have gathered in the area, and it has gradually become a "central living area", the first choice for Beijing's new rich and high-end urban white-collar buyers.

Chaoyang Joy City

I have been going to Xidan Joy City for a stroll before, but this time I simply changed to Chaoyang Joy City~ I feel that Joy City in the world is similar~ Well, I personally think Xidan is better.

Chaoyang Joy City

Sure enough, shopping in the mall has to be domestic! It's cheap and good-looking! Such a beautiful match! It is estimated that the little Japanese girl will have to scream for half an hour after watching it!

The third stop: Wukesong Huaxi Plaza. Beijing's first HEYTEA hot wheat shop.

Wukesong

I want to go to Wukesong because I want to taste the donkey rolling of the first HEYTEA hot wheat shop in Beijing. But I didn't expect it to look so good after I went there! Especially youthful and trendy. Whether it is shopping malls, shopping, dining or entertainment, they all reflect the modernity of the city. Wukesong used to be and still is the basketball education center and competition center in Beijing. Therefore, there are still a lot of sports brands concentrated, everyone who likes sports is welcome to come here!

Wukesong

As a result, I went too late and the donkey rolled and sold out. But there are plenty of other breads to sample. The size is not small, you can ask the waiter to cut it open. Wear plastic gloves and eat! So far today, go home and take off your shoes. It hurts to find my mother, but it doesn't work!

2019.8.22 Wudaoying · Nanluoguxiang · Yandaixie Street · Shichahai

Wudaoying Hutong

Wudaoying Hutong is located in the north of Dongcheng District, Beijing, on the east side of Andingmen Overpass, and runs east-west. It starts from Lama Temple Street in the east, ends in Andingmen Inner Street in the west, connects with Jianchang Hutong in the south, and has two branch alleys leading to Andingmen East Street in the north. It is 632 meters long and 6 meters wide. Wudaoying Hutong was called Wudeweiying in the Ming Dynasty, but it was falsely named in the Qing Dynasty. Although the name has changed beyond recognition, it is also named after the troops stationed there.
Therefore, Wudaoying Hutong has a deep relationship with the army.

Wudaoying Hutong

After getting out of the subway line 2 and crossing the bridge, you can see Wudaoying in three big characters!

Wudaoying Hutong

After entering, it is full of alley style and red Zhumen, the big blessing character, and the golden door plate of the logo (showing: I have a house or a Hutong, domineering and roaring if I don’t accept it). The ancient writing form of the three characters of Andingmen is also Domineering.

Wudaoying Hutong

Mottled stone piers at the entrance, old bricks and tiles. The vicissitudes of stone steps in front of the door. This is old Beijing without a doubt.

Wudaoying Hutong

Wudaoying is also known as an alley with a very artistic and literary atmosphere. Looking at these baroque decorations, you can also understand that the people here have a small and fresh heart for literature and art.

Wudaoying Hutong

There are many cat-themed shops in Wudaoying. If you want to suck cats, don't hesitate, Wudaoying, you are worthy of choice.

Wudaoying Hutong

The occasional little rainbow and the clearly recognizable word "dirty braid" made me feel that this is an alternative little freshness in the alley. Not taking the usual route, but being myself.

Wudaoying Hutong

Come to Zhang Guangjiao, today is a little cloudy, but it seems to match these bricks and tiles better!

Wudaoying Hutong

Keep an eye out for the little decorations, too.

Wudaoying Hutong

Yes, I wore vans casual shoes today. Wearing a big flower T in Bali style. Wearing Hyuna style floor mopping jeans. Hutong literature and art, people also have literature and art, right? ~

Wudaoying Hutong

Wudaoying Hutong

At first glance, it looks like a family with faces. Everything in front of the door is neatly arranged, clean and neat.

Wudaoying Hutong

I think the names of many small shops in Wudaoying Hutong are really interesting and I want to take pictures. The differentiation is well done. I just feel that the products sold are similar, and the products still need more development.

Wudaoying Hutong

This Band-Aid is a store that I have known in Nanluo many years ago. Its name is really interesting and the things are very trendy. I think it fits the minds of young people today. The big doll at the door is a little scary but also a feature.

Wudaoying Hutong

Such an ancient alley is indispensable for traditional cultural clothing stores.

Wudaoying Hutong

Wudaoying Hutong

This is one of my favorites. The sky, green bamboos, ancient tiles, door faces, Wudaoying. It's the feel I want

Wudaoying Hutong

This cafe is also full of Beijing flavor, mottled paint and tiles. He told me some important information, this is a serious courtyard house. It's old. Its estimated value was 100 million less. Ok

Wudaoying Hutong

Wudaoying is so quiet with so few people. Jute is a good place for taking pictures

Wudaoying Hutong

It is said that this is a bar, and my classmates said that it is very famous here. Alright, come here next time and drink a case of Yanjing beer.

Wudaoying Hutong

Cat shop! I feel very warm in this small shop. When I was taking pictures, there were two girls taking selfies through the glass window. What I saw was their love and love for life.

Wudaoying Hutong

Occasionally, the flowers of other people's houses protrude slightly through the iron fence, adding a colorful atmosphere to the gray alley.

Wudaoying Hutong

A shop called Devil. What kind of little devil is there at night~ Well, go and see for yourself

Wudaoying Hutong

Wudaoying Hutong

The brand of this house! Yes~ I will call Unicorn All Universe Daydream to create a bureau in the future!

Wudaoying Hutong

In short, strolling is where you like to shoot!

Wudaoying Hutong

The slightly opened door always arouses people's curiosity! What's in it?

Wudaoying Hutong

Good luck, everything goes well, and happy events are coming! Hahaha three consecutive blessings! In front of this ancient architecture and culture, red and green are always unparalleled beauty! Who said that red and green match is bullshit, I think you don't understand that red and green are the most beautiful!

Wudaoying Hutong

Nothing happened without records, and without traces of ancient buildings and these mottled tiles, we may never know the stories and voices behind this history.

Wudaoying Hutong

I just want to keep the beauty of bricks and tiles here, and keep it forever.

Wudaoying Hutong

Wudaoying Hutong

I walked into the childhood canteen by accident, and what I saw was really full of memories.

Wudaoying Hutong

I went to primary school in more than 2000. At that time, I remember that there are definitely a few snack bars that you can't miss on the way to school in every primary school in Beijing. For us, these canteens are more treasures than treasures.

Wudaoying Hutong

Wudaoying Hutong

At that time, there was one boy in the class, and the girls followed suit, all kinds of modified versions! Up to now, it can be called the most awesome!

Wudaoying Hutong

It is absolutely inappropriate not to buy a few packs of all kinds of snacks to take home!

Wudaoying Hutong

I saw it suddenly, and I think it's suitable to taste and feel it!

Wudaoying Hutong

Mochi peach juice should be the memories of Beijing children since they were young. My memory is that when my mother took me to Ditan Park and other major parks, I didn’t have to buy lamb kebabs when I was in kindergarten, but this juice must be bought. Although it is not what it was when I was a child, it still tastes good.
The price is acceptable at 5 yuan, but it is actually too expensive. But thank you for letting me temporarily return to that childhood me.

Wudaoying Hutong

This coffee bus can be said to be a small signboard of Wudaoying, give it a try! Wudaoying also has the famous restaurant of Jing Zhaoyin.
Jingzhaoyin is a vegetable and food cultural center founded in Beijing, and Mr. Yin Dawei is dedicated to promoting the construction. Jing Zhaoyin's main products are sweet and sour lotus root short ribs, emery tofu, braised rice with hundreds of mushrooms, basil eggplant, matsutake soup and other signature products. It not only has very creative set meals, but also exquisite and delicious afternoon tea for you to enjoy. In order to promote the development of healthy diet in the new era, the Jing Zhaoyin headquarters team actively promotes the concept of vegetarian food through the restaurant as a platform. With the widespread spread of contemporary healthy eating concepts, more and more diners tend to enjoy a unique vegetarian feast at Jingzhao Yin during their spare time on weekends to enjoy physical and mental relaxation. The price is not very cheap, but it is a good place for those who pursue healthy life and delicious food. Wudaoying Hutong is at the end of the walk.

At the end of Wudaoying Hutong, you will arrive at Lama Temple, the most famous Tibetan Buddhist scenic spot in Beijing. It was established by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty in order to satisfy lamas who came to Beijing to sacrifice and pray for blessings. What's interesting is that after going out, a master from Mount Jiuhua came to strike up a conversation: Beauty, I see you stepping on gold with your left foot. I'm still stepping on hot wheels with my right foot, please, please don't believe these so-called masters so easily! Honestly struggling with your own life is more important than anything else.

Shing Yin Street

After coming out of Wudaoying, you can choose to go to Lama Temple or you can choose to walk into Chengxian Street, which is the famous Beijing Confucius Temple and Guozijian. So can everyone understand the meaning of the name of this street at this moment? Those who come out of this street are all academic masters or saints! Because I went to another place this year after going there in December last year, I was a little hungry at this time, so I decided to go to Nanluo to find something to eat. Get off at Luoguxiang Station of Bus No. 13.

Nanluoguxiang

There is nothing to say about the good weather these days, even if there are more people, it is still a blockbuster!

Nanluoguxiang

How to put it, Nanluo has rectified a lot of messy shops in the past few years, and I am quite relieved, but I still feel that there are still a lot less shops in old Beijing. Of course, there are Beijing snacks, but I don’t know if they are authentic or not. Made a comment. It's good for friends from other places to try it out. This text burner looks good and interesting.

Yandai Xiejie

After the messy Nanluo, bypassing Gulou Street is Yandai Street. From the end of Qing Dynasty to the 1920s and 1930s, Yandai Xiejie mainly sold pipes, hookahs and other smoking sets, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, mounted paintings, stationery and snacks, and service industries. It is a well-known cultural street in Beicheng, Beijing, and has left the footprints of many cultural celebrities. Now Yandai Xiejie is the same as the Drum Tower, Nanluoguxiang and other well-known scenic spots. It is a good place for everyone in Beijing to find food, watch antiques, and appreciate ancient buildings in calligraphy and painting in their spare time. Personally, I feel that Yandai Xiejie is better than Nanluo. There are not so many people and there are not so many people.

Shichahai

Bypassing the crowds, I still like the Shichahai with abundant clear water. A place for old guns to have fun. Today's blue sky, green willows on the shore, cruise ships in the lake, a comfortable life, leisurely.

Shichahai

There are two time-honored Beijing restaurants, Qingyun Restaurant and Barbecue Season, on the Shichahai Sea. All old Beijingers are very willing to go. It has a traditional taste that has been passed down.

Shichahai

The TV series that was particularly popular a while ago was the one where everyone shouted that Li Xian is my husband! Han Shangyan and solo get along well, the roof of the fight is here!

Judehuatian Barbecue Season

There are three major barbecue meat specialists in Beijing, namely "Barbecue Wan", "Barbecue Season" and "Barbecue King". Now, only Roast Meat Wan and Roast Meat Season still maintain the traditional advantages of time-honored brands, and have become well-known Beijing Halal-style specialty restaurants at home and abroad. Barbecue Season Restaurant is located on the picturesque Shicha Seaside, surrounded by Beijing Folk Tourist Area, which adds a rich history to this century-old brand. Barbecue Season is located at No. 14 Haidong Yan, Qianhai District, Xicheng District. Located in the famous Shichahai Scenic Area in Beijing and the Yinding Bridge of Beijing Yanjing Eight Scenic Spots "Yinding Bridge Viewing Mountains", Barbecue Season is a time-honored Chinese brand with a history of more than 170 years. It was founded in the twenty-eighth year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty (1848 A.D.). The roast mutton it operates has a long-standing reputation and has the reputation of "Nanwan Beiji".

Shichahai

Yinding Bridge is located on the waterway between Qianhai and Houhai of Shichahai. It is a north-south single-hole stone arch bridge, spanning the narrow neck connecting the two seas from north to south, 12 meters long, 7 meters wide, 8 meters high, and 5 meters in span. There are 6 Huawangzhu, which are called Yinding Bridge because they look like silver ingots. It is one of the scenery of Shichahai and one of the eight small scenic spots of Yanjing. In the past, standing on the Yinding Bridge, you could look at the West Mountain in the distance, so the scene was called "Yinding Viewing Mountain".

Shichahai

Shichahai

I want to say take wedding photos here! You are so right!

Shichahai

The remaining temperature of summer has not receded, the lotus is still there, and our summer memories are still there

Shichahai

Shichahai

It’s always the same when I travel and go home by myself, but this time it’s different! Hahaha I went to Nanluo to buy fairy bean cakes and met a friend who was destined to help me shoot! Thank you~

Shichahai

Looking at the beauty of Beijing, my mood is also beautiful, and I feel happy all over my body

lotus market

The lotus market that came out is a summer resort for ordinary people in Beijing. It has an amusement park and a commodity market, and there are many folk performances in it. Xinghehua Market started in the 1920s. It is located on the west bank of the lotus pond in Shichahai. There are many food stalls selling fresh lotus and ice bowls in the market. In the middle is the lotus pond, and outside the pond is a moat. Boards are set up on the river, and performances are set up on the boards. It starts after the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year and ends in August. The performance starts at noon every day and ends before sunset. Viewers must buy a Erjiao brand, and the income from performing arts is included in the tea price.

Before Shichahai came home, the voices of the old man in Beijing passed through in an instant! Sure enough, your uncle will always be your uncle! This is old Beijing!

Drum Tower Street

The old streets and alleys here blend together, and countless landmarks tell visitors the history and changes here.

Shichahai

The sunset before returning home, against the background of the small bridge, flowing water and green willows, couldn't be more pleasant.

Drum Tower Street

Finally, I attach the finale of my Drum Tower! Let's see you next time in old Beijing!

2019.8.24 Dongjiaomin Lane·Dashilan·Xianyukou·Qianmen Street

Today's weather is hot enough, but it still doesn't stop my desire to go out. Today we stroll around what used to be the humiliation of Beijing and now serves as many important positions and institutions in Beijing: Dongjiaominxiang.

Dongjiaomin Lane

Dongjiaomin Lane starts from the east side road of Tiananmen Square in the west and ends in Chongwenmen Inner Street in the east. The total length is nearly 1.6 kilometers. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was an alley connected to Xijiaomin Lane on the west side of Tiananmen Square. It was called Jiangmi Lane. It was nearly 3 kilometers long and was the longest alley in Beijing. In the Ming Dynasty, it was cut into east and west alleys.

Dongjiaomin Lane

In the Second Opium War in 1860, the Qing government was defeated and the relevant provisions of the "Tianjin Treaty" signed with Britain, France, the United States, and Russia stipulated that in March 1861, the British Minister officially moved into the Prince Chun's Mansion in Dongjiangmi Lane (then named Liang The mansion is the mansion of Emperor Kangxi’s seventh son, the iron hat Jun Wang Yunyou); the French minister officially moved into Anjun’s mansion (then it was called Chungong’s mansion, and it was the mansion of Anjun Wang Yuele, the grandson of Nurhachi); the American minister was stationed in the American citizen Dr S. SWilliam's private house is located in Dongjiang Mi Lane; while the Russian Minister lives in the Russian Pavilion of the Orthodox Church built here in the early Qing Dynasty. Subsequently, the embassies of various countries chose the Dongjiaomin Lane area as their site.

After the Boxer Movement in 1900, Dongjiangmi Lane was renamed Legation Street (Embassy Street) in accordance with the provisions of the "Xin Chou Treaty". It was officially renamed Dongjiaomin Lane in the map drawn by the Chinese side and became an embassy area managed by each embassy. The Qing government In the government office on this street, only the three departments of officials, households, and rites, and the clan's mansion were retained, and all the rest were moved out. Later, foreign banks such as HSBC Bank, Macquarie Bank, Russia's Russian Dowson Bank, Japan's Yokohama Specie Bank, Germany's Deutsche Bank, and France's Orient Bank appeared here, and French post offices and hospitals were also opened. facilities, and a large number of Western-style buildings appeared. This embassy area has been preserved after the Revolution of 1911.

Dongjiaomin Lane

So when you walk in the first step, you can feel two completely different atmospheres here and Tiananmen Square. It was unusually quiet, there were few tourists and pedestrians, and the cars parked around were all black special police cars. There are also many European-style buildings that are different from the traditional brick houses in Beijing.

Dongjiaomin Lane

This is the highest court of the country. Photography is not allowed at the door. Yes, because it is close to Tiananmen Square and the Great Hall of the People, it is also a lot of major political offices in Beijing. Please also hold back your curiosity. After all, in the face of national interests and security, as a Chinese citizen, you must take good care of it.

Dongjiaomin Lane

There are two main museums in Dongjiaomin Lane. One is the Beijing Police Museum, but it is a pity that it cannot be opened due to recent renovations. One will be seen behind the Beijing Court Museum! Tickets are 5 yuan.

Dongjiaomin Lane

A lot of buildings here are really a very western-style building when you look up. Whether it is the gate or the main body of the building, it is completely different from the Chinese-style buildings we see every day.

Dongjiaomin Lane

The color of the building also feels that it has only used the classic brick red of the Western style. This is the old site of the French Bank of Orient

Dongjiaomin Lane

Go straight ahead and you will see the China Court Museum. It is also a European-style building full of national style. It always feels like returning to the old Shanghai of the national era. The court museum is also the former site of Japan's Zhengjin Bank, a Western classical building. Inside are exhibitions of various legal constructions, you can take a look. There is an exhibition room with a historical exhibition of Dongjiaomin Lane, which is very worth seeing.

Dongjiaomin Lane

Dongjiaomin Lane

The exterior is really good for all kinds of concave shapes! Bring your poses and beautiful dresses! The most important thing is to bring your best friend or boyfriend to help you take pictures!

Dongjiaomin Lane

Dongjiaominxiang Hotel is also an old national brand.

Dongjiaomin Lane

From here you enter the protected area of ​​the embassy complex. The first thing that comes to mind is the old site of Japanese PR. The only country with two embassies. The original embassy was smaller. After Gengzi, Japan robbed King Su’s Mansion to build a new embassy. Now King Su’s Mansion is the seat of Beijing Municipal Government.

Dongjiaomin Lane

It is the little red building at the back. Of course you can't enter! Look outside~

Dongjiaomin Lane

It is said that this building is the past secret service agency of Japan: Mei Agency

Dongjiaomin Lane

Then there is the former address of the French Post Office. It is a more typical European-style building.

Dongjiaomin Lane

Look at this small chandelier is really very similar to the European carriage lights

Dongjiaomin Lane

Brick by brick seems to have a momentary sense of time travel.

Dongjiaomin Lane

Then after passing the former site of the French post office, the former site of the French embassy is in front of it, but no photos can be taken. The original pure public house was occupied by the French after the Second Opium War. The gate is modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and the interior architecture is in the style of a French country house. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Gao Gang and Sihanouk once lived here. It is said that it is the residence of the Prime Minister of the country. There are small windows in many hidden doors around it. It is a bit scary for someone to look out from the inside. Don’t take pictures. But I stole some bold pictures from the Internet.

Dongjiaomin Lane

Dongjiaomin Lane

Basically exactly the same as what I saw on the scene. Anyway, just don't shoot! It is a mysterious place that only you can understand and everyone can understand.

Dongjiaomin Lane

The next row of buildings that are a bit of a show is the Zijin Hotel. Still can't enter~

Dongjiaomin Lane

Before going to the Zijin Hotel, let’s insert Dongjiaomin Lane Catholic Church, also known as St. Michael’s Church and French Church. It is located at No. 13, Dongjiaomin Lane. It is a two-story Gothic building built in 1901. Dongjiaominxiang Catholic Church is famous for its exquisite angel statue above the main entrance. I'm sorry I still can't enter~ Anyway, it's a beautiful building complex that can be seen from a long way! really nice~

Dongjiaomin Lane

Dongjiaomin Lane

Zijin Hotel, affiliated to the State Council Administration Bureau (National Administration Bureau)

Dongjiaomin Lane

Ok, I'm a little tired from shopping, let's walk along the Zijin Hotel to find the bus station, take bus 20 to Qianmen Street.

Beijing Dashilan

When I got off the bus at Dashilan this time, I didn't expect to walk into a road that I had never walked before. Really found a lot of interesting things.

Beijing Dashilan

For example, these old-fashioned building complexes feel like they have returned to that era. There should be a lot of plaques and facades. Old Beijing In fact, the most important thing in the past is the brand name, and the brand name of a store is also one of the main charms of this store that can attract customers. Wang Mazi's scissors. Neiliansheng's old Beijing cloth shoes.

Beijing Dashilan

Rui Fuxiang's silk brocade,

Beijing Dashilan

Traditional Chinese Medicine of Tong Ren Tang.

Beijing Dashilan

The old shops all over the street show the prosperity of Dashilan Street in that era.

Beijing Dashilan

After staying in Japan for a long time, especially after moving to Osaka, I ran to Kyoto when I had time. At that time, I felt that Kyoto did a good job of preserving ancient culture and architecture. I have always felt that when our great old Beijing can also pay attention to restore those old cultures and buildings, and let people around the world see the long history and charm of our old Beijing. This time I feel that the government has really put in effort to rectify and build. Saw a lot of culture being restored and reshaped. Really relieved. For example, the most famous Dangdang car in Dashilan.

Beijing Dashilan

In 2000, I liked to visit Wangfujing Street with my parents the most. Every time I finished shopping at Wangfujing Department Store, I would go to Wangfujing Snack Street to have a bowl of fried belly and braised pork belly. I can’t go home without eating, and occasionally I have to watch a foreign film. In the past, a foreign film was built on the street with a big car with several small holes. Everyone watched it together. In the past, it was mainly Monkey King who made trouble in the sky. Lah, Nezha makes trouble with some classic clips. Later, the snack street was gradually occupied by foreign businessmen, and the foreign films disappeared. These traditional cultures really should not disappear, this is the memory of old Beijing.

Xianyukou Time-honored Food Street

Opposite Dashilan is Xianyukou Food Street. There are many shops inside that sell some snacks of old Beijing. The only thing I can recommend to everyone is the barbecue season shop and Jinfang snacks inside. As a child who lives in Beijing, I really don’t recommend other stores.

Xianyukou Time-honored Food Street

I don’t know what kind of Internet celebrity this year is. The entire Coca-Cola cup can hold everything. Basically, there is one per person for foreign tourists. . . incomprehensible.

The Starbucks at the front door is also a good combination of local cultural buildings, but I think its plaque is too abrupt, and it should be replaced with Chinese calligraphy.

2019.8.27 Model Bookstore·Related Beijing Past Sites

Today let's take a look at some hidden surprises in Beijing. The place I chose this time is Model Bookstore. Get off at Changchun Street on Metro Line 2. I remember that it is Exit B. Navigate after coming up, because we are going to drill the alley!

The first alley you enter first is Dongjiui Alley. There are many hutongs in Beijing. In the past, the names were not pleasant, and they were all very different. Now the names of the hutongs are all improved names.

This alley is really full of twists and turns, and many old buildings and concierges have slightly retained the atmosphere of the past.

Although the door for the iron. Although the lanterns in the past have been replaced with electric lights, the earth pits in the past have been replaced with concrete floors. What remains unchanged is the historical memories reflected in the details

What is interesting about this alley is that there are many traditional stories painted on the murals. It's very interesting to look at it all the way, I haven't finished taking pictures completely, I will go to savor it slowly when I have a chance.

And every story is written with allusions.

Model Bookstore Poetry Space

Once you see a small courtyard with an ancient atmosphere, you will find the Model Bookstore. In 2019, "Model Bookstore + Poetry Space" began trial operation at the original site of the Christian Chinese Shenggong Church at No. 85 Tonglinge Road, Xicheng District, Beijing. The Chinese Anglican Church, founded in 1907, is the earliest and largest central church built by the Christian Chinese Anglican Church in North China. It is now a national key cultural relic protection unit. "Model Bookstore + Poetry Space" is the fourth store of Model Bookstore. The interior decoration is beautiful, with a towering dome, tall bookshelves, beautiful multicolored glass windows, retro wooden floors, and some original stone carvings. Recommended books, the location of the original church baptistery was designed as a stage for reading, and further into the depths of the church, it is an area for drinking tea and coffee.
The whole building is completely a chapel, although the outside is made of stone and looks gray. But the moment you walk in, it's a completely different scene.

A type of book that I like very much, and I really want to know what old Beijing really looked like in the past. I also like this kind of history books. Only through the pens of literati can I understand the appearance of that era

Model Bookstore Poetry Space

I found that there are so many literati's comments on old Beijing in a book about old Beijing. No matter whether it is Beijing or Beiping, this place is free, generous and inclusive. At least in my heart, Beijing is the place where I grew up. There are food I love, transportation I am familiar with, parks full of memories, and friends I can’t let go of in this life. I have tried to escape from here countless times, I feel too boring, I don't want to be confined here forever, I want to go outside and have a look. But when I went to other places in college, what I thought about day and night was Beijing, and I was extremely reluctant to leave every time the holiday ended. Later, when I went abroad, I found that it was even more difficult to come back once. It turned out that the place I wanted to escape countless times was also the place I thought about day and night.

Model Bookstore Poetry Space

What's more interesting is that there are many books about the Republic of China. The Republic of China existed for a short time in Chinese history, but it is an era that must not be ignored in Chinese history. This era has the most trendy time in China, the most turbulent time in China, and the time when China is in trouble.

The appearance is also full of history.

The King's Mansion of Keqin County is a national key cultural relic protection unit. It is a relatively large-scale royal mansion in the Qing Dynasty. This mansion was built during the Shunzhi period. The original occupied area was not large, and the plane layout was still in line with the regulations of the palace. The Keqin Palace has gone through the historical process of the Qing Dynasty from its heyday to its decline, carrying extremely rich historical and cultural information. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the property rights of the mansion once belonged to Fu Xiong Xiling. At the beginning of the 21st century, the King's Mansion of Keqin County was renovated and restored to its former style. The south screen wall of the mansion road still exists, and only the east wing building remains in the front of the mansion. The inner door at the back, the back bedroom and the east and west rooms, and the back cover room are all well preserved. There are also most of the original buildings in the western courtyard.
Now it has been changed to Beijing No. 2 Experimental Primary School~ The decorations at the entrance are the same as those of the previous Wangfu. The original style is perfectly preserved!

It was really a coincidental discovery. In fact, no investigations on these cultural sites in Beijing have been done before. Next time, we should do a good job in this regard.

Beijing Lu Xun Middle School

Going forward, I found a surprise! The current Lu Xun Middle School is the former Beijing Normal School for Women. I found this building from a long distance, and I felt that there is a situation! Go downstairs!

Beijing Lu Xun Middle School

Jingshi Women's Normal School is the earliest national women's normal school in China. In the thirty-fourth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1908), Huang Ruiqi, the academic department, please set up in Beijing. Initially borrowed the Medical Center as the school building, set up simple subjects, enrolled 145 students, divided into 4 classes, graduated in 2 years, and was selected by teachers of girls' primary schools in various places. Prime Minister Fu Zengxiang. In the second year of Xuantong (1910), after Fu served as the Zhili envoy, Jiang Qian and Yu Changlin successively took over. In April of the same year, an affiliated girls' second-class primary school (now No. 2 Experimental Primary School) was established. In July, 1 class of complete subjects was recruited and moved into the new school building on Shifuma Street in Xuanwumen Nei. In 1912, it was renamed Beijing Women's Normal School. The exterior of the building looks like a combination of Western and Chinese styles. I feel that it is a great honor and luck to study in such a school that carries the atmosphere of history!

2019.8.29 Chuan Chuan Xiang in Xisi Hutong

It's a clear sky today, and I've almost had a rest. Let's walk in Xisi Hutong today? go!

Huguosi Street

My route today is to get off at Ping'anli Station of Metro Line 4 and walk from Huguosi Street to Baihuashen Hutong. Of course you can do it the other way around. Because after getting off the car, this is where you see it, so just start walking from here! Huguosi Street is a place I am particularly familiar with! Why~ Because their old Beijing snacks are authentic. Anyone who is a Beijinger knows that to eat old Beijing snacks, you must go to our traditional old restaurants in Beijing. Tourist attractions such as Qianmen Street are opened by some foreign merchants. To be honest, the taste is not authentic, the method is not correct, and the asking price is not cheap. So everyone who comes to Beijing and wants to experience the real taste of Beijing must go to the old Beijing restaurant to eat!
Huguo Temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty, and its site is said to be the former residence of Yuan Tuoke Tuo. It was originally named Chongguo Temple (this is the North Temple, and there is still the South Temple, which has been lost). In the fourth year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (1429), it was renamed Dalongshan Temple. In the eighth year of Chenghua (1472), it was named Dalong Shanhuguo Temple. In the sixty-first year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1722), the Mongolian prince Baylor repaired the temple for Emperor Kangxi's birthday, and it was called Huguo Temple. Commonly known as West Temple, it echoes Longfu Temple, commonly known as East Temple.

Huguosi Street

Huguosi Street was called Chongguosi Street in Ming Dynasty, and it was called Huguosi Street in Qing Dynasty. After the Republic of China, it was once called Huguosi Street. There are Beijing Watch and Glass Company, People's Theater, Huguo Temple Non-staple Food Shopping Mall, Huguo Temple Hotel, etc. No. 9 on the north side of the street is the former residence of Mei Lanfang, which is now a cultural relic protection unit in Beijing. The Huguosi Hotel was built in 1989 and has a long history.

Huguosi Street

From here, you will see the orthodox appearance of many of the most traditional old Beijing Hutongs. In fact, the real alleys are distributed like this kind of courtyards. There may be several households in a courtyard. For example, in this small courtyard, No. 84, No. 86, and No. 88 are distributed. Orthodox door piers, door curtains, and couplets that have not been removed during the Chinese New Year.

Huguosi Street

Of course, there are places with a sense of age like the People's Theater. On November 24, 2018, Beijing People's Theater was selected into the "Third Batch of China's 20th Century Architectural Heritage Projects.

Huguosi Street

Huguosi Street, which has a history of 800 years, reopened to welcome visitors after two years of renovation. The newly opened Huguosi commercial street is bounded by Mianmian Hutong. The west side is dominated by traditional time-honored snacks such as Huguosi snacks, and the east side is dominated by former residences of celebrities such as Mei Lanfang, courtyard houses, and private dishes. This is another Beijing characteristic street that has been reconstructed after Dashilan and Liulichang. I'm coming! The bean juice, rubber rings, meatballs, and donkey rolling at Huguosi Snack Bar are all highly recommended! Exploding belly is a little expensive, be careful! Other snacks are good!

Huguosi Street

Because there are no high-rise houses here. These are all traditional old courtyards, which really have the atmosphere of old Beijing.

Huguosi Street

Saddle burning is a common traditional name in old Beijing. According to legend, burning burning was created in 1876 by Yao Chunxuan and his wife from Shunyi. When making it, put the dough into the stuffing, fold it on both sides, leave the other two sides open, put it in a frying pan and fry it until golden brown, then take it out of the pan and serve it while it’s hot. Its color is golden, burnt fragrance is overflowing, delicious and delicious. Because of its elongated shape, it is sometimes folded in half, similar to the ancient satchels carried on the shoulders, so it is called Huoshao. It tastes similar to potstickers but has a different shape. But in fact, both of them are rectangular~ what is the difference?

Huguosi Street

The Heyizhai Snack Bar in the early years was located in the northwest corner of the Beijing Dianmen Houmen Bridge. After liberation, with the expansion of business, Heyizhai added more varieties of stir-fried vegetables and became Heyizhai Restaurant. In recent years, Heyizhai has been demolished due to the municipal reconstruction from Di'anmen to Gulou Street. In order to promote Beijing's traditional food culture, Beijing Huatian Catering Group Co., Ltd. decided to restore the century-old Heyizhai Snack Bar after various efforts. The new location is located at No. 67-69, Huguosi Street, Xicheng District. Later, considering the needs of the majority of diners and the preferences of the majority of young people, it was renovated and opened in November 2015 and the name of the shop was changed to "Huifeng Mending Meat Pie Shop".
There are actually many doornail meat pies in Beijing. The biggest feature of this meat pie is that the shape is exactly the same as the door nails on the door of the old Beijing in the past, and the size is also the same. It is full of meat! ! !

Huguosi Street

From Huguosi Street to Huifengmen Ding Meat Pie Shop, turn left and you will arrive at Mianmian Hutong. It also retains many bits and pieces of past traditions. They all keep the memories of old Beijing

Huguosi Street

The hutongs in Beijing used to be poor sanitation, narrow, and chaotic, and you would really get lost. Since the hutong renovation in Beijing (of course, the renovation must have advantages and disadvantages), it is much brighter and cleaner.

Huguosi Street

But there are also some places that can still reveal the messy feel of the courtyard in the past.

Huguosi Street

Primary school in the alley. The noren is also a traditional construction. Moreover, this elementary school was founded in 1904 and has a long history.

Huguosi Street

As I walked, I didn't know where I was going. Anyway, if you follow the navigation, you can only look at the southeast and northwest. After you walk in, there are a bunch of forks in the road. You don’t know where you are after you walk past, but this is also a kind of fun that Hutong brings to everyone who visits it. The end and the end always hide secrets you don't know.

Huguosi Street

These days, the sky in Beijing seems to be fixed by the law! Every day is so blue!

Huguosi Street

In fact, after the renovation, many elements of traditional Chinese murals were left to enrich the culture of the Hutong. In addition to being the political and cultural center of Beijing, the culture of old Beijing is indispensable to the culture of hutongs! Because of the hutongs, the distinctive characteristics of old Beijing can remain in the hearts of everyone who loves this place forever.

Hundred Flowers Deep Hutong

Ah yes, basically after walking in, there are all such forks in the road, and it is basically useless to follow the navigation, just walk out by feeling! Anyway, I think it's quite interesting. It's much more interesting than those alleys in Nanluoguxiang that you've been walking through!

Hundred Flowers Deep Hutong

Finally, after questioning myself countless times, I found that I was right! It's the depth of flowers I'm looking for!

Hundred Flowers Deep Hutong

Needless to say, the depth of hundreds of flowers really has the "deep" feeling I want. Architecture from the past and a modern electric meter plus an incredibly modern one-unit bike. Maybe the ancestors never dreamed that from the horse-drawn sedan chair in the past to the rickshaw to the car of the Republic of China to the modern 28 bicycle to today's 1 yuan dynamic bicycle~ This is really a dreamlike rapid development

Hundred Flowers Deep Hutong

In fact, along the way, there are many such curtains that feel like Beijing Hutongs. If you look carefully, you can find them~ There are people living inside. Just take a picture outside and don’t go in to disturb the normal life of others!

Hundred Flowers Deep Hutong

This place feels special, I don’t know what’s inside~

Hundred Flowers Deep Hutong

In the depths of the flowers are the very elegant names of the streets and alleys in Beijing. "Beijing Suowenlu" records: "During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, a couple surnamed Zhang bought 20 to 30 acres of open space in the South Alley of Xinjiekou, and grew vegetables for a living. Gradually, they got money and planted trees in the garden. The stone is a mountain, a pool is dug, and thatched pavilions are built to make this vegetable field a very elegant place. The land is also planted with peonies and peonies, and lotus roots are picked in the pool. In summer, when the sun sets, drive Going on a small boat to and fro among the green waves of the sky, the fragrant wind blowing against the face is really refreshing. In the autumn of the fragrant yellow chrysanthemums and the clear and snowy winter of plum blossoms, it is suitable for all seasons. At that time, many scholars and bureaucrats in the city went to visit. Therefore, Beijing People call it the depth of a hundred flowers."

Lao She described the depth of flowers in this way: "The alley is narrow and long. There are walls made of broken bricks on both sides. The south wall rarely sees sunlight, and there is a thin layer of greenery growing on it.
Moss, there are faint silver tracks crawling by a few snails on the heights. Walking in, it feels a little more spacious, but the walls on both sides are more broken. " Gu Cheng wrote a poem titled "Inscription on the Depth of Hundred Flowers", "The depth of hundreds of flowers is good, and the world doesn't know it." The small courtyard is half shaded, and the old temple is three feet of grass. The autumn wind never forgets, and sweeps away the fallen leaves. This place is better than Taoyuan, but people will grow old. "Chen Sheng sang in the song "One Night in Beijing" that "I dare not ask for directions at midnight for fear of going to the depths of flowers".

In short, Baihuashen Hutong can be said to be a particularly elegant and story-telling Hutong in the old Beijing Hutong!

Liuquanju Restaurant

Liuquanju is one of the eight famous residences in Beijing. It was built in the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. It is a well-known Chinese time-honored brand in the capital. When Liuquanju was first built, the store was located in the east of Huguo Temple Xikou Road, and it was a famous yellow wine restaurant in Beijing. At that time, Beijing rice wine restaurants were divided into four types: Shaoxing rice wine, Beijing rice wine, Shandong rice wine, and Shanxi rice wine. Liuquanju sold Beijing rice wine. And the sesame sauce rolls from his home are my favorite in this life! It's so delicious! The best in the world! His bean paste buns are also a must!

After exiting Baihua Hutong, walk along Xisi Street, 10 meters to an alley.

Huatian Yanji Restaurant

Beijing Huatian Yanji restaurant was founded in 1943. It is the earliest restaurant in Beijing that operates Korean cold noodles. The original site was at the west entrance of Handkerchief Hutong next to Xidan. In 1956, the company jointly moved to Xuanwumen Inner Shifuma Street, and in 1963 to No. 181 Xisi North Street.
In the 1980s, the Japanese Youth Friendship Delegation, invited by Comrade Hu Yaobang, visited my country and ate at the Yanji Restaurant. North Korean distinguished guests invited by the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Ministry of Culture, and the League Central Committee also visited the Yanji Restaurant. Serve state banquets, make cold noodles and dishes on-site for important foreign affairs banquets. The staff of the North Korean and South Korean embassies in China often visit the Yanji restaurant and have hosted the North Korean Deputy Prime Minister and the North Korean delegation successively. In addition, guests from Japan, the United States, Italy, Austria and other countries have visited Yanji Restaurant. When international friends visit, many domestic stars, celebrities and athletes in the fields of literature and art, film and television, and sports, such as Hou Yuewen and Shi Shengjie , Meng Fangui, Zhao Zhongxiang, Liu Xiaoqing, Cai Ming, Xie Yuan, Cao Xiandong, Li Ning, Mu Tiezhu, as well as famous people Pu Jie and his wife and the Japanese niece of Pu Jie's wife, etc., have also dined in Yanji restaurant.
So if you want to experience Beijing cuisine, there are! You must go to such a time-honored restaurant in Beijing to eat!

The subway station on the Xisi side is also quite distinctive.

Guangji Temple

Then my next stop should be Zhuanta Hutong, but I saw the Beijing Geological Museum, so I walked in this street to have a look. As a result, a site was also found: Guangji Temple.

Guangji Temple

It is also a seat of the Chinese Buddhist Association.

Guangji Temple

Guangji Temple is located at No. 25, Fuchengmen Inner Street, Xicheng District, Beijing. Covering an area of ​​2.3 hectares. It was built in the late Song Dynasty and was named Xiliu Village Temple. It was rebuilt in the early years of Mingshun, and Emperor Xianzong issued an edict to name it "Hongci Guangji Temple" in the second year of Chenghua (1466). The temple was destroyed by fire in 1931 and rebuilt in 1935. The building maintains the pattern of the Ming Dynasty and is divided into three roads. There are many precious cultural relics in the temple, such as the statues of the third Buddha of the Ming Dynasty and the eighteen arhats, the white marble platform built in the Kangxi period, and the bronze tripod in the Qianlong period. During the period of the Republic of China, the temple suffered two fires and was rebuilt twice. In the early days of liberation, the government allocated funds to restore all the temple buildings. In 1953, it became the site of the Chinese Buddhist Association. Since then, two comprehensive repairs have been carried out so that it can preserve the original appearance of the ancient temple.

Guangji Temple

There are towering trees in the temple, and the ancient buildings are well preserved.

Guangji Temple

I have seen so many Buddhist temples in Japan. Sure enough, I think the Buddhist architecture is still beautiful in China. In fact, many temples in Nara were established after returning to Japan through envoys sent to China during the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, many temples in Nara have sitting statues of Master Xuanzang and other Buddhist masters in our country.

Guangji Temple

Guangji Temple

Those who walked inside found that many devout believers were reciting Buddhist scriptures. If you have a chance to go, don't bother. Trust each other and respect each other.

Guangji Temple

What I admire most is the naming of these houses in our country in ancient times, which are all so literary and elegant.

Guangji Temple

Guangji Temple

When I came out, I also saw believers holding long incense and kneeling, and carrying fruits to worship the Buddha. I really have my wish.

China Geological Museum

Opposite Guangji Temple is the China Geological Museum. I really want to talk about this museum. I have been to the Geological Museum many times when I was in elementary school. First, I visited it. Second, I really think this museum is interesting. By chance, when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, the whole class went to visit together at the arrangement of the parents of the classmates. Really a rare memory. This should be the last collective activity of the class.

Walking a little further, I saw this building with a story at first glance. The structure of a typical Beijing compound, the curtain of the courtyard, is exactly the same as the door of the big family in those TV dramas. Let's not care whether it has a story or not, let's shoot this face first as a respect.

If you take a closer look, there really is a story! It is a well-preserved typical courtyard compound. People's name is also called Siheyuan. Although it is not open, judging from the external distribution, it must have been a rich or expensive family in the past.

This courtyard house site is located in Fuchengmen Inner Street, Xicheng District. Three-entry courtyard pattern. Sitting north and facing south, there are 5 main halls in the middle courtyard. The roof of the building is made of stacked stone slabs. There are 3 north rooms in the backyard and 3 east and west wing rooms. Well preserved.

Let's go ahead and find that the alleys here are still very complete, let alone the ancient appearance. No matter how strong the shadow of modern architecture is, the corresponding past architecture can still be seen.

This street is really a small scene of 10 meters. They are all typical Chinese compound structures. I feel that there are too many surprises along the way. I have lived in this city for so long, I never thought to take a closer look at it, to taste it, to look at it.

Beijing Emperor Temple Museum

The most important attraction on this street is the temple of emperors of all dynasties. The Temple of Emperors of All Dynasties, commonly known as the Temple of Emperors, is located at No. 131, Fuchengmen Inner Street, Xicheng District, Beijing. It was built in the 10th year of Jiajing (1531) of the Ming Dynasty. Its original site was Baoan Temple. The Emperor Temple of the Past Dynasties is the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshiped the opening emperors and the founding heroes of the past dynasties. After several adjustments, Qianlong finally determined that the number of emperors worshiped was 188. Qianlong even put forward the view that "the Chinese lineage should never be broken". It is a masterpiece in the treasure house of ancient Chinese architecture, and it is also an important cultural place that attracts Chinese at home and abroad to worship ancestors Yanhuang, praise sages, and enhance historical pride and national cohesion. In January 2019, the Emperor Temple, a national key cultural relic protection unit, will start its first large-scale renovation in 15 years this year. The repair plan of the Emperor Temple of the past dynasties has been approved. It is currently closed for repair.

Beijing Emperor Temple Museum

So basically, as long as there are important scenic spots that charge tickets, they are currently in the overhaul stage and cannot be entered. The inscription at the door is still very characteristic. The officials waited until this point to dismount. It shows the nobility of this place. After all, it is dedicated to the emperors of the past dynasties and our ancestors. I believe that no official has the guts to compete with our ancestors!

Beijing Emperor Temple Museum

Looking forward to the day when it will be fully restored and reopened next year. Let's make a note here! I will write well!

Beijing Emperor Temple Museum

This piece is a bit blurry, and there is a particularly large screen wall opposite. It belongs to the Emperor Temple.

Later, I saw on the map that I could walk from Mutton Alley to Zhuanta Hutong, so I just crossed the road and saw Mutton Hutong and got in. I found that the hutong here really retains a lot of our traditional things.

In the Mutton Alley, we also found such a distinctive facade. I sneaked a look and found that it was being repaired inside. However, I don't know which big family this is.

But one look at this family is very particular. The decorations on the door face are all traditional ancient Chinese paintings. crane

Deer and cattle are animals that often appear in traditional Chinese paintings.

Miaoying Temple White Pagoda

After coming out of the Mutton Alley, I was supposed to go to the Zhuanta Alley, but a white pagoda popped out halfway and attracted me. Let's go. A closer look is another historic site. The ancient pagoda of Tibetan Buddhism, whose full name is Lingtong Wanshou Pagoda, is located in Miaoying Temple in the north of Fuchengmennei Street, Xicheng District, Beijing. National key protected cultural relics. The pagoda is an important symbol preserved in the Yuan Dynasty, and it is also the earliest and largest Tibetan Buddhist pagoda in my country.
In 1961, the White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple was announced as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. After a check, he is indeed a big man.

Miaoying Temple White Pagoda

It is currently under renovation. Can not enter. But let's just look at the blue sky and white clouds today, look at the bricks and tiles, and look at the red, blue and green color scheme. It's really a beautiful word.

Miaoying Temple White Pagoda

It is said that the White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple has no shadow no matter in sunlight or moonlight, that is, "shadowless white pagoda has no shadow". Some people said even more mysteriously, "the White Pagoda Temple has no shadow, its shadow is in Tibet". From a scientific point of view, it is impossible to be completely shadowless in the presence of light. The reason why the tower has no shadow may be because the tower is tall and conical, and the surroundings are narrow alleys. The shadow of the tower is often hidden in the projection of the walls on both sides of the alley. It is impossible to see the complete shadow of the White Tower at any angle. But don’t tell me, I really didn’t see the shadow back then! magic!

Miaoying Temple White Pagoda

There are also historical stories about the construction of the White Tower on the wall halfway. It really started from the Yuan Dynasty.

Miaoying Temple White Pagoda

There is also an art space built by a cultural studio in Bandao. It's called Mani Duizhong. Manidui is a culture passed down from Tibet. represents eternity.

After entering, it is really a magical little world. There are mirrors on all sides, full of artistic atmosphere. Various concave shapes are available.

Miaoying Temple White Pagoda

Don't miss the chance, let me have one too! She has been exposed to the sun for a long time and can no longer see the actual color of her body.

Miaoying Temple White Pagoda

Then I would like to recommend a good place to take pictures for you. The walls on the side of the Baita Temple are all brick red, and there are green weeping leaves on the opposite side from time to time. This red and green is matched with the bricks and tiles in the distance. Not to mention how beautiful it is! Beyond all beauty! It tastes like Beijing!

Miaoying Temple White Pagoda

Take a picture of the White Tower, Red Bricks, Green Leaves and Blue Sky when no one is around! It's so beautiful! This is Beijing!

At the end, you can also see the White Tower from a distance. It is also similar to the White Tower in Beihai Park, but it is not as advanced as the one in Beihai.

Miaoying Temple White Pagoda

When I was about to go out, I saw a slogan for attracting investment. A courtyard, a Beijing city. Red walls and yellow tiles, under the root of the imperial city, morning bells and evening drums, deep in the alley. This really represents the essence of our Beijing!

Brick Tower Alley

Here we come, when we are finally about to wander to Financial Street, we suddenly turn back to our last brick tower alley. Brick Tower Hutong got its name from the brick tower at the east entrance of the hutong (Tongxi Sinan Street). It is one of the oldest alleys in Beijing, and it is also one of the less damaged and well-preserved alleys in Beijing. It existed in the Yuan Dynasty. It can also be said that Zhuanta Hutong is the big brother of all the hutongs in Beijing.

Brick Tower Alley

In fact, the hutong here is similar to the inside of the hutong we mentioned above, but it can be seen that it is indeed a bit old. But we can also see the preservation of this tradition. Kyushu welcomes spring with auspiciousness! How domineering! It looks like it's written in calligraphy! Now in Beijing, every neighborhood and street in Beijing also holds this kind of handwritten couplet activities to reflect the inheritance of traditional culture.

Zhengyang Bookstore

The small courtyard where the Wansong Old Man's Pagoda in Zhuanta Hutong is located is the base of Zhengyang Bookstore. In the spacious small courtyard, there are several old fish pots, all of which were invited by the shopkeeper himself from the old house at the front door, which corresponded to the scene of "ceiling fish tank pomegranate tree" in the old Beijing house.

There is also a map of the suburbs of Beijing. In fact, the more famous one on the outskirts of Beijing can be said to be the mausoleum of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. You can also take a look at this map. It is not difficult to see that Beijing is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and it is a place sunken in the mountains on all sides. In particular, the mountains at the junction of Hebei are regarded as dragon veins in the eyes of geomancers. The stretching mountains really look like a long dragon standing above the city.

Check out this map of Beijing before it was remodeled. Not to mention that I really found the location of my home.

Zhengyang Bookstore

In addition to old books, Zhengyang Bookstore also has many rare treasures. The pair of inconspicuous ones at the door of the old store are old objects from the Qing Dynasty, and the two iron plates on the bookcase are ice cups selling sour plum soup. "Nothing to sit idle, leisure and reading" is a couplet in the bookstore. In the shade of the small courtyard, there is nothing to do to tease the cat, find any good books, a bowl of tea and a stick of old books, in exchange for an afternoon comfortable.

"Historical Records Ji Zheng Lie Biography" says: "If you die for a lifetime, you will know friendship. If you are poor and rich, you will know your friendship. If you are rich and the other cheap, you will see friendship."

The huge Rabbit placed at the cashier is the memory of children in Beijing. Lord, is the honorific title for those with high status in the feudal era. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, "invite" a clay sculpture of "rabbit" and call it "Master" to "offer" respectfully. The jade rabbit is not a mortal animal, nor a hare, but a divine rabbit in Guanghan Palace. You can't just catch it and play with it. If you want to play, you can only "invite" a clay sculpture of "rabbit" called "Master" respectfully. "offer" up. In the old days, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, offering sacrifices to the moon was the main activity. On the evening of August 15th, in the courtyard of every household, an Eight Immortals table will be set up facing southeast, offering melons and fruits, moon cakes, edamame branches, cockscombs, lotus root, watermelon and so on. There is a piece of red felt in front of the table for people to worship. After the arrangement is finished, the moon gradually rises from the southeast, and the women in the family (in the customs of the capital, there is a saying that "men do not worship the moon, women do not worship the stove") follow In order of elder and younger, worship the moon one by one. After the offering, the whole family sits together, drinks wine and admires the moon, and shares offerings such as melons, fruits and moon cakes. Therefore, the folks also call the Mid-Autumn Festival the "Reunion Festival". The edamame branches on the table are specially prepared for "Master Rabbit"

After leaving the school hall, we walked forward and saw the Hongwashi Church of the Beijing Christian Church. Beijing Christian Church Gangwa Church (Gangwa Church, Gangwa Church) is located at No. 574, Xisi South Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, China. Founded by the London Missionary Society in 1863, this church is the earliest existing Christian church in Beijing.

There are many old Beijing old restaurants here in Xicheng. For example, the famous casserole house. Shaguoju Restaurant is a time-honored Chinese brand founded in the sixth year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (AD 1741).

In fact, it is recommended for friends who want to know about Beijing Hutongs to go and see this is Beijing. This program introduces many stories about old Beijing Hutongs.

Xidan Joy City

Finally, we traveled from old Beijing to Xidan Street in Yinhe Community! Let's come to an end for a journey from the past to the modern time!

2019.9.3 The sunset of "Peking"

On September 3rd, an unremarkable afternoon, I decided to do something after having a stomachache for a long time, otherwise I would be sorry for my great travelogue. I thought of the night view of Jingshan that I set for myself before. Let's go. Jingshan Park may leave people with more impressions as the place where the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen, hanged himself. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen decided to hang himself from a locust tree with a crooked neck on the top of Jingshan Mountain because he felt ashamed of his ancestors. The Ming Dynasty ended. The fall of another Wang Chao in the history of more than 5,000 years in China opened the last era of the Qing Dynasty ruling China.

Jingshan Park

This place is the Shouhuang Palace that has never been opened in Jingshan. The Shouhuang Hall is the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties rest, store their portraits and worship their ancestors, that is, the "Shen Yu Dian". In the Ming Dynasty, the hall was in the northeast of Jingshan Mountain. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the old hall was demolished, and the new building is now located in the north of Jingshan, the Shouhuang Hall on the central axis of the ancient city of Beijing. On the seventh day of the first lunar month in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1661), Emperor Shunzhi passed away. After 27 days of mourning in Qianqing Palace, Zi Palace was moved to Shouhuang Hall for mourning. After a total of 100 days, the cremation was held in front of the Shouhuang Hall. The person who lit the fire was the monk Mao Xisen. Afterwards, the ashes of Emperor Shunzhi continued to be kept in Shouhuang Hall until April 22, the second year of Kangxi (1663), when the ashes of Empress Dong E of Xiaoxian and Empress Tong Jia of Xiaokang were sent from Jingshan to the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty. Xiaoling was buried.

Jingshan Park

I entered from the east gate of Jingshan Park. As soon as you enter the door, you will find that Jingshan Park has arranged a lot of flowers and vegetation that can bloom in the coming year.

Jingshan Park

The entire park on the left is a peony garden. The peony is the national flower and has an unshakable position in the hearts of Chinese people. Her delicate beauty and her red color symbolize the Chinese people's broad mind and openness to embrace world culture.

Jingshan Park

Jingshan Park

There are also many other flowers in bloom. In the evening, nearby residents come to take a walk to exercise, and some mothers take their children for a walk. There are also many foreign tourists who climbed to the top of Jingshan Mountain to have a look at the central axis of Beijing.

Jingshan Park

When you are underground, you can see the Wanchun Pavilion from a distance, which really concentrates the essence of traditional Chinese culture!

Jingshan Park

Climbing Wanchun Pavilion, you can see the general structure of Wanchun Pavilion in the distance and the delicacy of the city in the distance. I still have to remember how I felt when I first boarded the Wanchun Pavilion last year and saw half of the city of Beijing. I was excited and excited. For the first time, I took a closer look at the place where I have lived for so long. it's so beautiful

Jingshan Park

Jingshan Park

Next is the main event! Seeing the turret reminds you of where in Beijing! I think the answer in your heart has told you.

Jingshan Park

That is the city within a city in Beijing: the Forbidden City. The outer moat and four turrets. Big white plaque: Palace Museum. It used to be the residence of Ming and Qing emperors. There have been changes of dynasties, brothers and sisters fighting each other, and tricks and tricks. It has also suffered from the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces and the invasion of Japanese imperial invaders. But our predecessors were not overwhelmed by these difficulties. They moved southward with cultural relics and protected traditional Chinese culture. The gatekeepers of the Forbidden City from generation to generation strictly abide by the persistence and persistence in their hearts. Today's Forbidden City has It is 600 years old, but it is still as beautiful as ever, and it is intact day and night guarding Beijing and the people on this land.

Jingshan Park

When you walk in the Forbidden City, you must not experience the feeling of looking at these magical buildings from a high place. We always say that the emperor has concubines from the Sangong and Six Courtyards. Can you count how many palaces there are in the Wanchun Pavilion?

Jingshan Park

On the Wanchun Pavilion, you can also see our Chang'an Street in Beijing, the Great Hall of the People, the National Grand Theater, the National Museum, and the National Supreme Court. At the forefront of the Forbidden City is Tiananmen and Tiananmen Square. This central axis divides Beijing into two symmetrical halves. A central axis carries the magical history of a city.

Next, let us quietly appreciate the rare sunset in the capital.

Corner Tower 2019.9.5 Encounter with the Relics of Zhang Zizhong Road

Today, I went to Zhang Zizhong Road in Beijing by the way to do my own private business. I found that this road is also a road with a history and a story. In Beijing, the names of many roads in the past have been adapted after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Zhangzizhong Road is one of them. The story goes like this. Beijing Zhangzizhong Road belongs to the Jiaodaokou area of ​​Dongcheng District, Beijing. Zhangzizhong Road has a very important position in the modern history of China and has witnessed many very important historical moments: On March 12, 1925, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Republic of China, died at No. 23 Iron Lion Alley, and on March 18, 1926 at The famous March 18th tragedy happened in front of Duan Qirui's government office at No. 3 Iron Lion Alley. There are only three streets in Beijing that are officially named after modern people, namely, Tonglinge Road and Zhaodengyu Road in Xicheng District, and Zhangzizhong Road in Dongcheng District. These three heroes are all famous anti-Japanese generals who died for the country.

Duan Qirui Executive Government

Walking along Exit A of Zhangzizhong Road, the subway station, there are three famous historical sites. The first place is the site of the famous March 18th tragedy and the site of Duan Qirui's government.

Duan Qirui Executive Government

On March 12, 1926, during the battle between Feng Yuxiang's national army and the Fengtian warlords, Japanese warships covered the Fengjun warships and sailed into Dagukou, Tianjin, shelling the national army, and more than ten defenders were killed or injured. The National Army resolutely fought back and drove the Japanese ship out of Dagukou. Japan unexpectedly joined forces with Britain, the United States and other eight countries to issue an ultimatum to Duan Qirui's government on the 16th, making an unreasonable request to dismantle the defense facilities at Dagukou. On March 18, more than 5,000 people in Beijing, presided over by Li Dazhao, gathered in Tiananmen Square to protest, demanding the rejection of the eight-nation ultimatum. Duan Qirui's government (Duan Qirui was not in the government at the time and did not order the shooting) actually ordered the shooting, killing 47 people on the spot and injuring more than 200 people. Li Dazhao and Chen Qiaonian were both injured in the struggle. It is also the former site of the military headquarters of the army and navy of the Qing Dynasty. Although the Daqing Dynasty had carried out tenacious resistance, there were also people with lofty ideals who fought hard but still could not withstand the ravages of the fundamental source of the feudal system.

Duan Qirui Executive Government

The ancient building here is the old site at that time. But now it is no longer allowed to enter casually, and it has been divided into public institutions.

Former Residence of Ouyang Yuqian

Going forward is the former residence of Mr. Ouyang Yuqian, a famous writer, screenwriter and director in the Mainland of China during the Republic of my country.

Hejing Princess Mansion

Further on is the residence of Qianlong's third daughter and Princess Jing. Yes, it is the daughter of the Empress Xiaoxian. The princess who married to Mongolia. But Qianlong felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, so he built her his own mansion in Beijing.

Hejing Princess Mansion

Hejing Princess Mansion

A street of Zhangzizhong Road

There are many curtains of such small courtyards on Zhangzizhong Road, surrounded by bamboos, green plants, red door bricks and tiles, especially the feeling of Beijing.

Sun Yat-sen Hotel

No. 23 Zhangzizhong Road is a very special place, and you will find that this place is unusual when you walk forward. Such a magnificent Chinese architectural gate. There are also stone lions sitting in town. But there is no signage specifying it. This place is the last place where Dr. Sun Yat-sen lived when he was recuperating in Beijing on his last days. No. 23 Zhangzizhong Road. According to analysis, the old house number may be No. 5 Iron Lion Alley. Later, it was changed to No. 23 Di'anmen East Street. It is located in the north of the west section of Zhangzizhong Road, facing south. It is a courtyard with three courtyards in the east and west. Composed of houses, the construction area is 1500 square meters. On the south side of the street gate is the gate of the mansion with a width of three rooms. On both sides of the mansion gate, there is an inverted south room, which should be the guard room and the return room (communication room) of that year. The first entrance courtyard of the west courtyard has 5 main rooms, 5 east and west wing rooms each; the second entrance courtyard has 5 main rooms, 3 east ear rooms, 5 west wing rooms, and 1 east wing room. There are 3 south rooms and 5 east rooms in the east courtyard. The north is a garden with rockeries, pavilions and other buildings in the garden; the courtyard is surrounded by corridors. At that time, Mr. Sun Yat-sen lived in the main room of the second entrance courtyard of the west courtyard. After the death of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the funeral committee decided to hang a plaque "Mr. Sun Yat-sen's death memorial room" at the door of Sun Yat-sen's living room in Iron Lion Alley. The room is an inner and outer room with simple interior furnishings. On the west wall of the outer room is a rectangular white marble stone engraved with "Mr. Sun Yat-sen died here at 9:25 am on March 12, 14th year of the Republic of China". Inside is "Prime Minister's Will", and in the left frame is "Letter to the Soviet Union". Modeling bonsai.

Sun Yat-sen Hotel

The inside of this place is currently not open, and it looks like a very magical existence. But when you know who lived here, you can understand the mystery inside.

2019.9.10 See the snow in the Forbidden City in winter, and see the rain in the Summer Palace in autumn

In the past few days, I have been in Beijing for a while, and finally dissipated the hot and humid feeling for many days. I have always been to the Summer Palace on sunny days. I have never been there on a rainy day. Thinking that there should be a different view, I packed my small bag and set off. Enter De Garden at 11:30, climb up the four major continents from the North Palace Gate, go down the mountain and walk along the promenade, and end at the Seventeen-Arch Bridge. It's a pity that I couldn't complete the journey this time. First, it rained again later, and the ground was really slippery and inconvenient to take pictures. Second, I found it inexplicably tired this time. But the rainy day did let me see the misty Summer Palace and the Little West Lake in the north.

summer palace

The Summer Palace, a royal garden during the Qing Dynasty in China, formerly known as Qingyi Garden, is located in the western suburbs of Beijing, covering an area of ​​about 290 hectares, adjacent to the Old Summer Palace. It is a large-scale landscape garden built on the basis of Kunming Lake and Wanshou Mountain, modeled on Hangzhou West Lake, and drawing on the design techniques of Jiangnan gardens. It is also the most complete preserved royal palace and royal garden, known as the "Royal Garden Museum". . Before Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty succeeded to the throne, four large royal gardens were built in the western suburbs of Beijing. In the fifteenth year of Qianlong (1750), Emperor Qianlong used 4.48 million taels of silver to honor his mother, the Empress Dowager, to rebuild it into Qingyi Garden, forming a 20-kilometer royal garden area from the current Qinghua Garden to Xiangshan. In the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860), Qingyi Garden was burned down by the British and French allied forces. It was rebuilt in the 14th year of Guangxu (1888), renamed the Summer Palace, and used as a summer playground. In the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu (1900), the Summer Palace was destroyed by the "Eight-Power Allied Forces" again, and all the treasures were looted. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Summer Palace was destroyed again during the warlord melee and the Kuomintang rule. On March 4, 1961, the Summer Palace was announced as one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. Together with Chengde Summer Resort, Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden, it was also known as China's Four Famous Gardens. It was listed in November 1998. "World Heritage List".

How much glory the Qing Dynasty once left behind, and how much shame it left behind at the end.

Summer Palace - Suzhou Street

As soon as you enter the North Palace Gate and cross a small bridge, you will come to a place full of watery villages. This is the Garden in the Garden in the Summer Palace: Suzhou Street, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty in the past especially liked the small bridges in the south of the Yangtze River. In order to be able to see the beautiful scenery from time to time in the capital, a lot of money was spent to build a very similar Jiangnan water town in the Summer Palace. Suzhou Street is also called "Buying Street". Suzhou Street is a shopping street built on both sides of the Houhu Lake in imitation of Suzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. During the period of Qingyi Garden, there were various shops on the shore, such as jade antique shops, silk shops, dim sum shops, teahouses, gold and silver jewelry shops, etc. The clerks in the shop are all dressed up as eunuchs and court ladies. The emperor started "business" when he was traveling.

Summer Palace - Suzhou Street

Coupled with today's rainy weather, it is really raining in Jiangnan.

Passing through this archway is the four major continents in the Summer Palace. It is also a special group of buildings in the park, because it was built in imitation of Tibetan Buddhist temples, so at first glance it really doesn't fit in well with our traditional Chinese buildings~

four continents

such as pagoda

For example, do these square buildings look completely different from our temple buildings in inland China? They look like a small Potala Palace from the bottom.

four continents

The four prefectures are in the middle of the back mountain of Longevity Hill in the Summer Palace, which is a complex of Han-Tibetan buildings. Covering an area of ​​20,000 square meters, the pavilion was built on the spot because of the mountain. There is Xumi Lingjing (now a platform) in front, 3-meter-high scripture buildings on both sides, and Xiangyan Zongyin Pavilion, the main building of the temple complex, in the back. Surrounded by four major continents that symbolize the world of Buddhism - Dongshengshenzhou, Xiniuhezhou, Nanfangbuzhou, Beijuluzhou and eight small continents built with towers of different forms. In the south, southwest, northeast, and northwest, there are four lama pagodas representing the "four wisdoms" of Buddhist scriptures: red, white, black, and green. There are thirteen layers of ring-shaped "phase wheel" on the pagoda, which means the "Thirteen Heavens" of Buddhist scriptures. The tower is unique, dignified and beautiful in shape. There are two uneven platform halls in the middle of the four major continents and the eight small continents. One represents the platform and the other represents the platform of the sun, which symbolizes that the sun and the moon surround the body of the Buddha.

four continents

The rain-soaked glazed tiles, red brick walls, and steps that go straight up to the sky have our own traditional architectural feelings, as well as the style of royal architecture.

No matter how many times these steps have been repaired, no matter how many winds, frosts, snows and rains have been experienced here, it is the happiest thing that they are well preserved.

The scenery seen on the first platform has gradually become higher and wider

The largest main temple on the first platform is really a traditional Han Buddhist building. The third Buddha is enshrined in the main hall behind.

In the four major continents, whether it is shooting red walls, bricks and tiles, or unsociable Tibetan buildings, the cells in my bones that want to make blockbuster movies have been crazily active~

Just like the introduction above, this time I have observed carefully in the four major continents, even if there are factors of Tibetan architecture, it has not changed the big pattern of left and right symmetry of our Chinese architecture at all.

I went to the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace a lot, and took pictures of a lot of scenery, and gradually fell in love with the glazed tiles of traditional Chinese architecture, which is so beautiful in my heart.

These little details make up the big picture of our Chinese tradition. This is the witness of civilization and history.

sea ​​of ​​wisdom

After getting off the four major continents, in front of you is the Buddhist temple of the Sea of ​​Wisdom. Wisdom Sea is the highest religious building on the top of Longevity Mountain. It is a beamless Buddhist temple completely made of bricks and stones, and is composed of arch structures. The outer layer of the building is all decorated with exquisite yellow and green glazed tiles, and the upper part is covered with a small amount of purple and blue glazed tiles, especially the thousand glazed Buddhas embedded in the outer wall of the hall are more distinctive. The term "Sea of ​​Wisdom" is a Buddhist term, and its original meaning is to praise the wisdom of the Buddha as the sea and the boundless Dharma. Although the building looks very much like a wooden structure, it actually does not have a single piece of wood. It is all made of stone bricks and has no load-bearing purlins, so it is called "Beamless Hall". Because the Buddha of Infinite Life is enshrined in the hall, it is also called "Infinite Hall".

sea ​​of ​​wisdom

It was too difficult to take a panoramic view, and the rocks were slippery, so I almost slipped down, but this building is really spectacular. Groups of small Buddhas are inlaid inside the wall, supporting the entire Buddhist hall.

Moreover, the Buddha statue is really lifelike, and the details are handled in detail.

Summer Palace Promenade

After going down the back mountain (sometimes I would like to call it the back mountain, please bear with me if some comrades feel that it is not particular), you will arrive at the promenade area. Today, there are few people and it is possible to capture such a long feeling of emptiness.

After getting off the back mountain, the first very large pavilion that comes into view directly faces the lake. This is the place where Lafayette took a boat tour of the lake.

Yes, it was still a little raindrops dripping all over my clothes.

kunming lake

I did a little processing on this one, and it really has a sense of wind and rain of historical vicissitudes and changes

summer palace

The reason why I especially like the Summer Palace is that there are ancient buildings, scenery, and the feelings of Beijing that I love. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, I remember that I would go for a walk with my mother when I have time. This is the first time I visited here, and I walked into my favorite garden with my heart of traveling alone.

Summer Palace Promenade

The promenade of the Summer Palace faces Kunming Lake, with Longevity Hill in the north, Yueyue Gate in the east, and Shizhang Pavilion in the west. It has a total length of 728 meters and 273 rooms. It is the longest corridor in Chinese gardens. There are more than 14,000 paintings on every square beam in the corridor, including landscapes, flowers, birds, fish and insects, allusions to characters, etc. The figure paintings in the paintings are all based on Chinese classics.

Summer Palace Promenade

It turned out that I didn’t observe carefully when I came here. This time I deliberately looked up at the name and painting of the plaque every time I walked through it. It is really a building that integrates Chinese culture.

Foxiang Pavilion

Walking out of the promenade, you will arrive at the most classic Buddhist Incense Pavilion in the Summer Palace.

Foxiang Pavilion

Foxiang Pavilion is located on the mountainside in the central part of the front mountain of Wanshou Mountain. It is built on a square platform with a height of 21 meters. It is a building with eight sides, three floors and four eaves. Optimus Prime, with a complex structure, is a boutique of classical architecture. The original pavilion Xianfeng was burned down by the British and French allied forces in ten years (1860), and it was rebuilt in the seventeenth year of Guangxu (1891) at a cost of 780,000 taels of silver. It was completed in the twenty year of Guangxu (1894), and it was the largest project in the Summer Palace. The "Jieyin Buddha" is enshrined in the pavilion for the royal family to burn incense here.

Look at the stone lions at the gate, you will know that this is an important place for the royal family, no one is allowed to enter.

First of all, Lafayette worked in the garden and lived in Leshou Garden. There are bronze sculptures of cranes and deer in front of the gate. Le Shoutang is the main building in the living area of ​​the Summer Palace. It was originally built in the fifteenth year of Qianlong (1750), destroyed in the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860), and rebuilt in the thirteenth year of Guangxu (1887). Leshoutang faces Kunming Lake, leans against Longevity Hill, Darrenshou Hall in the east, and promenade in the west. It is the best place to live and play in the park. In front of the hall, there is the wharf "Le Shoutang" where Empress Dowager Cixi boarded a boat. The horizontal plaque with gold characters on the black background is written in Guangxu's handwriting. There are copper deer, copper crane and copper vases displayed in the courtyard of Le Shoutang, which means "Liuhe Taiping". The flowers in the courtyard include magnolia, crabapple, peony, etc. The courtyard is full of famous flowers, implying the meaning of "Jade Hall is rich and noble".

Yiyun Hall

Next to the garden passing through Leshou Hall is the Queen's bedroom: Yiyun Hall.

Yiyun Pavilion

For the first time, I can clearly see the distribution inside with my Huawei small high-definition pixel. Typical Chinese classical furniture layout.

Yiyun Pavilion

Yiyun Pavilion

Reception room, living room, and bedroom are all fully equipped

Yiyun Pavilion

The yellow cushion stamp shows the status of the royal family

Yiyun Hall

Every time I look at the bedrooms, I feel a bit small, including the bedroom of the Empress Dowager Cixi, which makes me think that people in the past can really stretch their legs and feet~

Yiyun Hall

The inner room is very spacious, and the opening of many small rooms is probably enough for those concubines to visit and chat about family affairs.

Yiyun Hall

Yiyun Hall

Personally, I especially like this small courtyard where the queen lives, it is very unique, quiet and open. There are also sycamore trees in the garden, but I just don’t know if I can endure the loneliness of living in the palace if I really live in ancient times.

Yiyun Hall

There are also meticulous arrangements in the small villas on both sides of the garden

Yiyun Hall

I especially like the sycamore tree in the garden. I always feel lonely when I look at it.

Girls who like to shoot in ancient costumes are really welcome to come to the queen's small yard to take a few lonely and empty ones~

summer palace

I think the name of the plaque in the Summer Palace is very pleasant, Hongfeng, if I have a son in the future, I will call it Hongfeng~

Yulan Hall

Yulan Hall is built in the southwest of Renshou Hall and faces Kunming Lake. It is a courtyard-style building. The main hall, Yulan Hall, faces south from the north, with the Xiafen Room in the east, and the Ouxiangxie in the west. The east hall leads to Renshou Hall, the west hall leads to the lakeside wharf, and the back door of the main hall faces Yiyun hall. The back eaves and the two supporting halls are isolated from the outside world by brick walls, which is an important historical relic in the Summer Palace. In the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu (1898), after Cixi launched a palace coup, he imprisoned Emperor Guangxu who advocated reform here, and it was the bedroom of Emperor Guangxu.

Yulan Hall

The emperors of the Qing Dynasty in history really loved Guangxu the most. He had a passion for blood and a policy of governing the country but was born at an untimely time. He always felt that Emperor Guangxu must have died of depression in the end. Hey, although the reform may not necessarily save China, but at least it can make our culture progress!

Yulan Hall

The layout of the hall is very magnificent at first glance, it is indeed a place where people with the status of the emperor can live

Yulan Hall

Yulan Hall

It is also a very spacious and atmospheric small courtyard, but the visual experience is very atmospheric at first glance. The queen's small courtyard looks a bit melancholy.

I also like the small name Xijia Building, and my daughter calls it Xijia.

kunming lake

When you leave the main residential area of ​​the empresses, you will see the open lakeside scenery. Looking at the Foxiang Pavilion and the Seventeen-Arch Bridge from a distance, it is very beautiful.

Coupled with the continuous rain today and the silhouette of the western mountains in the distance, I seem to have really arrived in the water town of Jiangnan

summer palace

There are really many small and small scenery in the Summer Palace. You may have never noticed it when you pass by in a hurry, but next time you go, you must pay attention to the plants and trees here. Although they can’t speak, they have witnessed a lot. passage of time

Wenchangyuan

Wenchang Courtyard is located in the east of Wenchang Pavilion in the Summer Palace. It is the largest and highest-grade cultural relics exhibition hall in Chinese classical gardens. There are six special exhibition halls in the museum, displaying thousands of fine cultural relics of the Summer Palace from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the late Qing Dynasty. , furniture, calligraphy and painting, ancient books, enamel, clocks and watches, miscellaneous items, etc., covering many categories of Chinese cultural relics handed down from generation to generation. Due to the specific royal environment of the Summer Palace, these works of art represented the best craftsmanship at that time, and many treasures were important objects of the country at that time; some Qing Dynasty palace daily necessities are also displayed in the museum, which are closely related to the lives of emperors and empresses. It has outstanding historical value and is the most authentic physical evidence of Chinese royal culture.

Going forward is the famous copper bull in the Summer Palace. Tongniu is located on the east bank of Kunming Lake, on the north side of the east bridgehead of the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, and is designed to suppress floods. In 1755, the 20th year of Qianlong's reign, it was cast in copper and called "Golden Bull".

summer palace

After Tongniu is the Seventeen-Arch Bridge. The Seventeen-Arch Bridge is located on Kunming Lake, between the East Causeway and Nanhu Island, and is used to connect the causeway island. It is the largest stone bridge in the garden. The stone bridge is 8 meters wide and 150 meters long, and consists of 17 bridge holes. There are more than 500 stone lions of different sizes and shapes carved on the railings on both sides of the stone bridge.

Every lion on the bridge is different, all of them are having fun~

The most beautiful time for the Seventeen-Arch Bridge is when the sun sets in the west. The setting sun passes through the seventeen holes of the bridge and reflects on the water, which is like a fairyland on earth.

Finally, the two towns and gardens of the Summer Palace will end the trip back to China.

The Summer Palace 2019 summer vacation home to eat and drink a large collection

Then, I am willing to recommend the Beijing delicacies that I personally personally whether it is stepping on pits or planting grass this time when I go home.

The first one: Jubaoyuan. Per capita: 120. Our store is in Niujie. Strong recommendation! ! !

Jubaoyuan is a very historic halal copper pot shabu-shabu shop in Beijing. All of them are very traditional white soup shabu shabu in old Beijing, returning to the most original taste of meat. Because it is a halal restaurant, there are many dishes of lamb and beef. Beef is a little more expensive. Mutton is cheap.

Jubaoyuan

Jubaoyuan

This is a mutton roll. It can be seen that the meat is still very fresh, and it is red and white. Fat and thin.

Jubaoyuan

This plate of lamb is incredible. To test the knife skills of old restaurants, you must turn the plate upside down to see if the lamb will fall off! If it won't fall, then this chef is qualified! We don't have to guess this dish! Must pass! Then I would like to remind everyone that his vegetable platter is very, very large! Be careful! Other assortment platters can be ordered. Recommended lotus root slices are very good!

Jubaoyuan

The most famous of Jubaoyuan is the sesame seed cake. Old Beijing's sesame paste is a must! Absolutely beyond your imagination of sesame paste! After breaking apart, the skin is particularly layered, and the sesame seeds are also fragrant with oil! Mainly also cheap! 2 yuan each! Must try! If you don't eat it, you will come to Jubaoyuan for nothing.

The second: On Yecai Japanese Sukiyaki Buffet Pot. Per capita: 149 Chaoyang Joy City store. Highly not recommended.

Well, as a local student studying in Japan, after eating the 400-per-capita superb sukiyaki in Kyoto and the genuine sukiyaki in Tokyo. I have to say that this domestic store is unimaginably unpalatable. Beef is ok. I emphasize that you should never put salad dressing on sushi. The most unscrupulous sushi in Japan will not put such things as salad dressing. Sashimi is also pitiful. The self-selected dishes are not bad, right? There are not many vegetables and meatballs. Anyway, I feel that the taste is really average and I am sorry for its price. . .

The third: fairy bean cake. Nanluoguxiang store. Per capita: 24 or 30 (because one type of purple sweet potato is 12 yuan and the others are 6 yuan, I remember. 4 pieces are sold. I was lucky enough to meet a friend who wanted to buy it with me, two for each person. I spent 12 yuan ) If you don’t know what to eat when you go to Nanluo, it is recommended to try this.

This fairy bean cake is an internet celebrity dessert that I paid close attention to when I was in Japan. Square block. I bought the classic red bean paste and mung bean paste. The outer skin is very crispy, and the inner filling is not very sweet, but it is normal and has the taste of beans itself. All ages.

The fourth: Yunnan Jianshui tofu. Nanluoguxiang shop. If you haven't tried it, you can have a try. Not cheap at 20 yuan a piece.

When I saw this tofu abroad, I was very curious about what kind of magical species it is. I tasted it today, um, the taste is really amazing, and it is not the same taste and structure as our ordinary tofu in the north. It feels very firm inside, and it tastes like eating meat. Very interesting.

The fifth place: Jiangbian Grilled Fish, Europe and the United States, per capita: 102.5. But it's cheap to win.

This is a hard dish to eat with my mother. Mom is spicy. I am what king oyster mushroom. The taste is still ok, the fish meat is very soft.

Sixth: Green Tea Restaurant, 6th Floor, Omega Plaza. A relatively elegant and fresh Hangbang cuisine. The clock is ringing because the interior decoration of his house is very beautiful, it really looks like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Green Tea Restaurant

The famous Dongpo Pork in Hangzhou is a must! Very tasty and soft! Very recommended!

Green Tea Restaurant

A golden rice cake I ordered is crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, dipped in brown sugar and has a unique flavor. Other dishes look good to everyone! very petty bourgeoisie

Green Tea Restaurant

His green tea grilled chicken is also a signature dish. The chicken skin on the outside is very crispy, with a little spicy seasoning. The chicken inside is very tender, it is really so tender that the juice can be squeezed out. The point is that it is not expensive! If you are hesitant about meat dishes, order this chicken!

Green Tea Restaurant

I think this flame-grilled shrimp can also be ordered and tasted, which is not too different from ordinary barbecue restaurants.

Green Tea Restaurant

This fish dish is especially recommended, it is really recommended, it is very delicious! A bowl is only 12, and the fish inside is very tender! In short, it is recommended! delicious!

Green Tea Restaurant

The atmosphere of his home is simply amazing! It's like eating on a boat on the water! There is also a ship-like shape in the middle, which has a unique flavor!

Seventh shop: Papa sugar handmade toast. Just walk forward after coming out of the first phase of Shibao Street. A serving is about 26 yuan. Super recommended, I have never eaten such delicious toast bread! Bye bye calories!

Their toasts are all in such a square shape! Quite cute

The packaging is also very cozy. A seal was carefully made on the top to prevent the bread from drying out. I bought the basic model.

It should be ordinary honey toast! I rely on softer than Simmons mattress! too delicious! Addicted! I'm going to keep hitting it!

The eighth shop: Old Beijing Sydney Soup, I found it randomly in a food street in Dashilan, Qianmen. 10 yuan a cup. Although it is a roadside stall, it is very delicious. I really don’t step on the thunder and say: delicious! Buy it right! I have been prone to cough and phlegm since I was a child, and my mother often boiled pear juice for me. I remember drinking pear juice at that time was a torture, but now that I have grown up and learned how to maintain my health, I found that pear soup is really delicious!

Beijing Dashilan

Ninth: Wu Yutai Scented Tea Ice Cream. Wu Yutai Tea House on Qianmen Street. 9 yuan each. There are two flavors of matcha and scented tea. Matcha is the very orthodox Wu Yutai's tea taste. The taste of scented tea is slightly bitter, but it is very special and absolutely different from the milk ice cream in various Internet celebrity shops. It also has two kinds of feel with Hokkaido milk ice cream in Japan. It belongs to the characteristics of old Beijing! Please go to Qianmen Street and don't miss it.

Wu Yutai Tea House

Tenth: Wudaokou Xiaojun Liver Skewers Skewers are not counted according to the number of skewers, but are calculated according to the weight of the stick. It's a bit weird. But also quite expensive. Because his sign is not light. Everything is taken by yourself. Drinks are charged separately. You can buy it secretly and take it with you to drink.

Pancheng Steel Xiaojun Liver Skewers

Pancheng Steel Xiaojun Liver Skewers

There are also mandarin duck pots. Well, for the 7 of us, this mandarin duck pot is prepared for me alone hahaha. Tripe and morel are good. The tripe is a red plate and the dragon fish is also a red plate. Anyway, the red plate is very expensive! ! ! The celery beef is very good, and the spicy beef is also good! The skewers of all kinds of soy products are good! Small ingredients can also be picked up by yourself. Fried crispy meat and brown sugar rice cakes are also very interesting to try for the first time. This is the first time to eat Chuan Chuan Xiang! I feel good~ I can go again!

Pancheng Steel Xiaojun Liver Skewers

Show off our great ticket again. 1058 for 7 people is also okay. A person is about 151~ In short, it is recommended.

Eleventh: The famous Zhongguancun Shibao Street. Everyone knows Shibao Street! There are piles of delicious food, and it is easy to suffer from choice phobia. like me. But every time I go to Shibao Street, I must eat it. Grandma's house, but Shibao Street is relatively small, and there are not many dishes. There are also big-name stalls in Nanjing. At the beginning, I felt that it was unpalatable, but it was still uncomfortable if I didn’t eat it later.

So I was hungry for a day today and decided to develop a new continent.

This is what I have followed for a long time on Xiaohongshu. 20 yuan for a small one. Still don't think it's cheap. But the taste is really not to mention delicious!

I ordered the classic original. Inside is seafood juice with vermicelli, cucumber, and fish roe. Served with warm shrimp paste. It was indeed a whole shrimp inside. It is still worth eating, and the shrimp is not easy to get fat. Girls can eat with confidence.

After that, I went back and forth; wandered around several times, and chose this Yunnan's bursting tofu. It is not the same as Jianshui tofu. This tofu should be ordinary fried tofu. It is quite soft inside and served with hot and sour seasoning. You can try it for 13 yuan!

That black cumin seasoning ha.

Finally, I will attach the magical new Zhongguan and European and American exchanges for you! It's just the magic I can't live without

Twelfth House: The famous Xidan Joy City. I feel that every time I go back to China, this Xidan Joy City is hard to escape from my personal must-see list. This place in Xidan is also a place where I have a lot of memories since I was a child. When I was young, I felt that I couldn’t afford the things here, so I just came to see it. According to the current standard, I think I still can’t afford it hahaha

Hanguang Department Store

Hanguang Department Store can be said to be an old-fashioned department store in the Xidan area. The predecessor of Hanguang Department Store, Beijing Zhongyou Department Store, is located in the northeast corner of Xidan intersection, and operates more than 600 well-known domestic and foreign brands. Today's Hanguang has already grown into a landmark department store in Beijing. The brand collection of cosmetics, women's clothing, women's shoes, sports, men's clothing, etc. is particularly prominent, and the sales of many brands rank first in the country or in Beijing.

Xidan Joy City

I came here for a stroll this time purely to see this puff shop called zakuzaku from Tokyo. Because I didn't find it at all when I lived in Tokyo. After coming to Beijing, I was advertised by various Internet celebrities: must, must, must check in. Then let's go by the way~ I didn't buy the puffs, because I didn't have much appetite. It's a bit hot in Beijing today, so why not have an ice cream, I didn't expect it to be 32 yuan! It's a bit expensive, but the taste is really smooth, it tastes like pure milk, and it's really the feeling I had when I ate Hokkaido ice cream in Japan. There are more rings than other ice creams on the market, and the price is not bad in terms of its taste.

Xidan Joy City

The puffs are all made on-site in transparent glass, and the quality should be guaranteed. I remember it was on the 2nd floor~

Xidan Joy City

In the past few years, there have been many online celebrity shops in Joy City, such as this cute ice cream.

foraging forest

There is also a foraging forest that I have been seeing when I was abroad. I decided to go and have a look. It was originally for Jianshui tofu, but it was closed. Others, I personally didn't eat it because I didn't have much appetite. There are not as many types as Shibao Street.

Thirteenth: Nanjing food stalls. Every time I go back to China, I must eat Nanjing food stalls. I didn’t think it was so delicious when I ate it for the first time, but later I found out that this Wangfu Pickled Pepper Chicken is delicious and easy to go to heaven! The whole chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The outer skin is very crispy and tender. The chicken also fell off with one bite. Although it is called pickled pepper chicken, the juice is sweet. No taste of chilli at all. Eating alone is completely ok! Yes, because I can eat a pot by myself for ~32 yuan.

Nanjing Da Pai Dang

Fourteenth: Arctic Ocean soda. In fact, every region in China has its own drink. When it comes to Beijing, we have to mention Arctic Ocean soda. Let's not talk about whether the taste is the original taste, just for this feeling, it also throws away all kinds of milk tea shops n streets. In recent years, this kind of canned clothes has been released. But the taste and feelings are still the best to drink in glass bottles. Then there is one thing that is unacceptable, it is too expensive. I will rely on it for 5 yuan (｀Δ´)! I want to hit someone! But if you come back and don't drink, it doesn't count as a return! This money still has to be spent!

Fifteenth: Xijiade Shrimp Dumplings. After checking, it turned out to be a dumpling shop opened in the Northeast chain. After studying in Dalian for 4 years, I didn't find out. I found this when I was visiting Xinzhongguan. I was too hungry that day, so I made an appointment with my mother to eat dumplings. Don't lock the three delicacies, it's really delicious, there's nothing to say, the whole shrimp is extremely tender, and the fillings are also fresh enough. Pork and celery was commented by my mother that the meat is really affordable. The price is not expensive either. All in all a good choice

This one is made of pork and celery, the meat is very affordable and definitely different from those so-called pork fillings that turn out to be vegetables.

The three fresh stuffing is absolutely full of a large shrimp, the absolute shrimp dumpling

Sixteenth: Ju Liulin Roast Duck Restaurant. This roast duck restaurant is on Weigongcun Street, opposite the Central University for Nationalities, and it can also be said to be a small cafeteria of the Minzu University. To be honest, the dishes are delicious, but they are not cheap! Their roast duck is a must. But I never order it every time I go hahaha. Today I went to steam with my mother. Yes, you read that right. It was more than 30 degrees outside and I went to steam, but the nosebleed never stopped. When I came back, I went to order a pot of hot kidney. This is the most common dish in Beijing restaurants. I haven’t eaten it for decades. It’s really delicious!

Juliulin Roast Duck Restaurant

Juliulin Roast Duck Restaurant

There is also a staple food in old Beijing, not to mention how fresh it is just out of the pan.

Seventeenth House: 21st Street in Hopson Plaza. Hopson Place should be a large shopping mall newly opened in the past few years, and it has a full range of things. There are several layers up and down. Clothing, sports, jewelry, electronics, entertainment centers, cinemas, and food courts are all available. Let me explore 21st Street today.

Heshenghui District 21 block

The building inside is still very distinctive, and it really feels like entering a dungeon. The restaurants are very complete, basically there are restaurants newly opened in Beijing in recent years. Snacks are all in area 21. There are many large restaurants upstairs, such as the famous Little Yellow Duck Tea House, Jinfu Salt Gang, and Japanese BBQ.

Heshenghui District 21 block

After reading the notes sent by many celebrities, what impressed me the most is the park where the sun never sets.

Heshenghui District 21 block

The slogans here are also prepared for us modern foodies.

Heshenghui District 21 block

For people like me who have been addicted to fitness and weight loss and have a cold, it is the safest to drink a cup of Sanlitang, which has always wanted to clock in. It is the most traditional snow pear soup with tremella, no extra sugar added. Not at all sweet. The taste is the taste of pear juice, which I think is still very recommended.

Eighteenth shop: Cai Lan's Hong Kong-style dim sum shop (Xizhimen Kaide mall store, the only one in Beijing)

Chua Lam Hong Kong Style Dim Sum

Today, I will introduce a Hong Kong-style refreshment shop for you. It is a refreshment shop exclusively opened by Chua Lam, a gourmet in Hong Kong.

Chua Lam Hong Kong Style Dim Sum

Let me introduce the rice rolls first. We ordered one with mushrooms and one with barbecued pork. The skin of the rice rolls is very soft, basically it melts in your mouth. The yellow one next to it is the hibiscus egg white spring roll. There are shrimps and some vegetables in it, which are very crunchy, soft and delicious. This is also one of the must-orders.

Chua Lam Hong Kong Style Dim Sum

Comrades who really promised me to go, please definitely order it! This is the treasure of his family's town store: crispy hawthorn barbecued pork buns.

The flavor inside and the grains of chestnuts are very full. It should be a joy to drink a cup in winter~ I personally think that the red velvet cake is only 30 yuan if you try something fresh, and the taste is not too outstanding.
