What are the specific plans for traveling from Qingdao to Beijing?

When visiting Beijing for the first time, it is nothing more than the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.

Beijing, where my sister and I went in April when we were 24, was much colder than Qingdao. We chose to live near Dashilan (Beijing pronunciation: 大she lai er), which is very close to the Forbidden City. There are many small hotels, but because we are girls, we chose a relatively hygienic and safe hotel, which is a chain hotel - Xin Yandu, but the price is expensive, less than 180 yuan, it is a standard room, private bathroom, hot water 24 hours a day. It seems that you can stay in a small hotel for 60 yuan, but we didn't dare to go there.

I went there by ordinary train at first. The train took off at around 10 o'clock in the evening. I got off the train around 6:30 in the morning. There is a subway at the entrance of the train station. I took the subway for two stops to the "Qianmen" station, which is right at the Monument to the People's Heroes. It's nearby, that is, near Dashilar.

Hard seats on trains are painful, but soft sleepers are good. The 5-hour train ride is fine. For air tickets, book them half a month in advance or earlier in the off-season for just over 200 yuan. Please confirm the specific price before booking. .

Because it is close to the Forbidden City, there are many travel agencies. The "distribution center" is a regular travel agency, but it is said that it has moved and is difficult to find. "Jinshuiqiao" travel agency (there is a registration point near the Great Hall of the People) is also good. I have taken a one-day group tour. I haven’t tried the others, but be aware that there are many unscrupulous travel agencies in Beijing, so be careful with small advertisements.

We also went to Beihai Park (the place where authentic Beijingers go for morning exercises), Tsinghua University (I didn’t get admitted, so I went to feel the learning atmosphere), Peking University, Old Summer Palace, and Wangfujing Street (this is close to the Forbidden City) Three bus stops away, very close, a good place for shopping. Be sure to bargain when buying things from small stalls, cut them in half first), authentic Beijing roast duck (one stop away from Xinyandu Hotel, you can walk there, the service fee is still 10% 15%, I can’t remember, but it was really delicious), the Summer Palace, Heshen Mansion (also called Prince Gong’s Mansion, a must go, listening to the stories is very interesting, it’s best to go with a group), and saw Chairman Mao’s body (in the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall , the only "attraction" that is free of charge, you can enter as long as you have an ID card, but you have to queue), the Great Hall of the People. Not to mention the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, most people who go to Beijing go there. Three days in Beijing is enough for you to have almost the same amount of fun. If you want to fully enjoy it, five days should be enough. We spent 5 days in Beijing. On the last day, we watched TV in the hotel because we couldn’t think of where to go. By the way, when you go to Beijing, remember to buy a map of Beijing. It seems to be 5 yuan.

When you go with a group, the tour guide will take you to the store to buy something for commission. You can buy it or not, but keep a low profile and don't expose him.

Beijing’s summer is too hot, and there are so many people during summer vacation. It’s good to go there in spring and autumn because there are fewer people and some things are cheap, such as train tickets. This season, I don’t have much advice.

If you are also in your 20s, you can learn from this itinerary.

For middle-aged and elderly people, it is recommended to go to Beijing with a group in Qingdao, which can save a lot of trouble.
