Beijing Royal Palace Tour

I am to the Forbidden City today and to a Beijing Royal Palace Tour




Today's weather was not very good, but the momentum of the Forbidden City was put in there, the sky overcast also own kind of chill taste.

I'm looking down from the Forbidden City, Jingshan, the sun occasionally faceless, you can see the dazzling gold glazed reflective.




Jingshan Here is the ancient Chinese emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in the place of right and wrong about the emperor is not argued, people dying alone phrase "any thief split, not to hurt people, a man" is also worth to worship it. From Jingshan down is Shenwu, go directly to the Palace after the Royal Court. My Forbidden Journey is from the Imperial Garden began.




Regent did not blossom. Regent can enter the Forbidden City from the things Palaces play, I see few people Orient House, they first went to the Orient House. It is easy to let a few people have a "palace Shenshen dash" feeling. Former Forbidden City palace maid who think life will be miserable. Basically every fan can open the door has treasures exhibition, where specifically remember seeing, posted a few I prefer.


This is the Forbidden City, the golden jewels series, I love the far right that incense box. How about you, you know, these are worth a lot of money can be.



Palace of the eaves on both immortal beast, basically singular, most have 11 animals.




Palace of the Orient House, then move forward is to charge treasure museum and Watch Museum, but that is enough to look at other places, so turn back playing Nishinomiya. Nishinomiya nothing nice here, in addition to the Hall of Mental Cultivation is Yongzheng Empress Chuxiu. Yongzheng down Well, Daddy affected by Liang Yusheng, grew to brainwash me Yongzheng how bad, so I grew up and found zero impressions into legend Yongzheng actually not so bad, but is being touted as his "first emperor, "the father and son was trying to impress Leo's too distasteful. As for the Empress Dowager Cixi, it is not objectionable can describe it. Further depth to go is this mottled red door, ready to retreat when encountered a lost tourist quipped that time shout "There assassin" What the devil knows what a hidden assassin in the end.



I finally return to the central axis, which is the only inner court imposing the Palace of Heavenly Purity

I like the Forbidden City. Yes there are many places in Beijing must to see and to visit, the best way is to join in a Beijing tour package to see the Forbidden city and the Great Wall in Beijing.

Impregnable, Beijing Forbidden City


Where to Sleep in Beijing

Let me live in it: this time I lived in a pretty well-known online Elysees (sleepyinn). ms lot of people thought it facing the lake, in fact, only a small river against the West, a lot of mosquitoes. Since Li Avenida far, so very quiet, but around the station every 10 minutes subway station or more, the traffic is not very convenient. I live Quadruple with bathroom, narrow point, next door bunk mm often knock to the head ah ah, what the hand. It is said that six spacious point on earth, because there is no toilet. But I personally like them, "foreground" (bar, where the Internet) that the house, a little taste of old Beijing, a little "home" comfort. Mostly foreigners living here now, if you want to live here can be considered exercise spoken.


Beijing Transportation

Transportation: It is said that with the card on the bus as long as four fold, subway no discount. Seems to have handled all stations, but the refund can only go to one place. 7:30 am - 8:00 should be a peak period of one day to see a stuffed man surrounded 7,80 27 Road following people are prepared to squeeze onto the car, scared. Usually it is difficult to have a seat (refers to the route via points). So choose a convenient stay very important point. The front door is a good choice, but the price is too high it should be.

Beijing Attractions

  Attractions: a. Palace, ticket $ 60, including tickets, Germany and garden, Wenchang homes, Buddhist Incense, Suzhou Street and Dan Ning Church. 1, Germany and garden displays some of the Empress of supplies, there is a large stage, every punctuality, the slightest someone show. You can also go in and see; 2, Wenchang hospital is largely cultural relics exhibition, more; 3, Tower of Buddhist Incense on Longevity Hill, do not go to the Summer Palace did not mean it; 4, Suzhou Street, in fact, no need to go in, are small souvenir shop on the bridge watching, photography is enough. Dan Ning Tong and Suzhou Street share a ticket, but also display artifacts. Ahead will be a good tour route, make use of cruise ships that can save time and less costly mistakes. b. Mutianyu Great Wall. I heard Badaling very commercial, and domestic tours are to Badaling; while Simatai and relatively far away. So I finally decided to go to Mutianyu. I was looking for a day trip to help set Tavern, 260, packet transfers and tickets (biased a little expensive). All about 10:30 am pick Qi (all foreigners, only even a chinese-___-), 12 点 15 minutes to reach. Jj just give us 2.5hr guided tour, I think it is too short. We also take the cableway up and down or slide, or else four hours come back. Later, with the chopper chatted for a few, decided to walk down the mountain. 35 yuan ropeway up the mountain, back and forth like a 50 or 55, forget it. 5-6 minutes the way to go. Go ahead on the right to go No. 1 station (the highest), and then return to take the left. Probably gone above 12,13 a beacon (chopper said to have 20.) Look almost time to return. Because only one person, the descent was somewhat nervous of what was coming out of robbery, so the more anxious to go, the result 10 minutes on the back cable entry, ha ha. It seems my choice right. Go to Mutianyu is also mostly foreigners, Japan, Korea, Europe ...... Chinese people a minority. Also saw a pair of wedding photographs newcomers, huh. Later, when you encounter a team flew back tours, they say not too many people Badaling. Over the summer it may be c. Forbidden City began selling tickets at 8:30 am. There is a museum inside the watch part of the exhibition clip watches, worth a look, to deepen understanding. Treasures Museum, Watch Museum is closed 16:00, tickets $ 10. d. Nanluoguxiang Hutong Tour. Like Nanluoguxiang, went two times. It is said that young artists gathered, many pubs, craft workshops, studio ...... you can also Hutong Tour, if there is the best tour guide, as he swam, then prepare homework. Luoguxiang not feel good pipe Byway. Other attractions not much to say.

Beijing Shopping

Shopping: Silk Market (by subway at Yonganli station) a lot of foreigners to buy replica bags, shoes. I see on the 4th floor cloisonne trinkets, refused to drop too much, found in Tianjin Ancient Culture Street sell much cheaper. Beijing specialty friend venosa card.

Beijing Tour Notes

11th close suddenly remembered the words of last 60 Daqing also lived in Beijing for 30 years a small fast memory to Tiananmen Square Chinese Qing scene really never had that year 50 when they never went Daqing Daqing So how have 60 bars along for the ride.

China National Day many people in Beijing. It is a must have for many people it is called the National Day, just like the Expo Fair eleven finally became SEE men and women there as well. . .

Beijing is a diverse city, and now had little taste of old Beijing, only to adapt our situation, but do not allow us to adapt to the current situation so it created the "Times."


Forbidden City

Beijing Palace Museum was established in 1925, is in the Ming Dynasty, Qing dynasties palace and its collection built up on the basis of comprehensive museum in China, but also China's largest ancient culture and art museums, its heritage collection comes mainly from the Qing Dynasty palace collection.




From Shenwu enter the Forbidden City, after Shun Chen door to go inside the Palace of the plants, a brick and tile could make people feel it embodies nearly 600 years of court changes and vicissitudes that it has accumulated for thousands of years culture and life wisdom to tell.



Golden iron lion, sleeping in front of the palace a few hundred years. Exhale, the curtain falls, look to do things, Xijinqianhua.


Peking Man

Peking Man speleothems thickness over 40 meters, depending on the Peking Man fossils, stone, fire and other aspects of ruins, archaeologists believe Pekingese lived about 700,000 years ago to 20 million years.






Peking Man brain volume averaged 1,088 ml, the head features than the original, but there are obvious modern Mongoloid features, male height of about 156 cm, about 144 centimeters tall women, mainly from hunting and gathering food.

Nanluoguxiang Hutong

Hutong Alley, constituting Beijing this ancient city smallest structural unit many foreign tourists are becoming a hot pursuit.







Especially Nanluoguxiang, in this same period the year 1267 began with the construction of Dadu less than 800 meters long and narrow alleys, because in recent years, in a unique fusion of Western Capital Taste culture and modern civilization.


Let me have time to stroll around Nanluoguxiang.


A hotel door in the alley, only one round, parking costs 30, I parked the car at this hotel gate. Then, back a camera into Nanluoguxiang.





Because I came relatively early, at this time Nanluoguxiang, few visitors, slightly quiet, decoration filled with row upon row of crowds of Chinese and Western style of a variety of shops, bars, cafes, restaurants, craft shops, most also have doors and windows tight closed.


I can only as scattered and foreign tourists, on this leisurely less than 800 meters long ancient roadway walk, from the appearance Nanluoguxiang feel the unique charm appreciate Chinese culture and modern Western civilization Ming when combined tradition and romance.



Narrow alley, swaying trees, brick tiles, exquisite courtyard, as well as a serial in the streets of tourists pulled rickshaws, all can reflect the Ming and Qing Dynasties old Beijing traditional culture, visual elements, are constantly conveyed the alley heavy historical vicissitudes.





With the integration of Western culture, national culture, based on the use of a full of vigor and vitality of the unique creativity, so many gathered here is full of period features combining Chinese and Western commercial shops, traditional Beijing style with clever fusion of modern Western culture, so that of Chinese and Western hutongs, gives a new mental and visual experience.


Stroll into the alley, which can bring you insights traditional elements look back on history and culture, there are many special symbols imprinted with the times, including a unique name, personalized signs, decorative Tuyangjiehe are constantly attracts your eye, giving a sense of mood, a sense of romance and casual contemporary.

Combines traditional and modern, Chinese and Western combined to make Nanluoguxiang blend of Chinese culture and Western classical style.





Sa Sa both occasionally see two foreigners, or wearing a red star green cap, or holding a Chairman Mao, or stop in the printed "serve the people", Mao Zedong avatar, or to Custer Romans put a sixties and seventies Chinese soldiers in green uniforms and Red cap shirt before laughing when they give a relaxed feeling funny.




As can be seen from the numerous signs, where a blend of a variety of Chinese and Western cuisine, not only the traditional coffee bar, and I not only did not eat, but also have not heard of the code marked ocean are not proficient in English to Gree disabilities (English), I called on the name of a lot of food, such as Samosa and so on.

Specialties shops, dazzling, just looking at signs, it appetizing. Unfortunately, I have come too early. If you are in the later blooming neon darkness fell here, in the experience of romantic Chinese and Western cultures, while some will real treat.



From Nanluoguxiang out of the way, you can enjoy the elegance of the bell tower, if Ganqiao, but also to listen to the vicissitudes of a deep bell Drum Voice. Drum those long lines waiting to see before soliciting "Rickshaw Boy", is not weaker than the long line outside the Capital International Airport taxi. If you have fun, you can also sit their rickshaw alley pocket laps.
