Can you recommend a few attractions that highlight the culture of your hometown?

Beijing has many traditional attractions, in addition to the well-known scenic spots. I suggest that if you want to experience the authentic and traditional old Beijing, you still have to walk around the hutongs, walk through the streets and alleys, and take a look at the hutong culture. Here are the 10 must-see attractions in Beijing, and introduce them according to the distance of the attractions, so as to better go sightseeing. Hope this helps!

1. Qianmen Street and Dashilar

Reason for recommendation: Qianmen Street is not what it used to be. It is a pedestrian street that combines Chinese and Western styles. Among them, Dashilan is more distinctive. With a history of more than 500 years, Dashilan is the street with the most old Beijing style. There used to be 87 banks, 26 banks, and 40 gold shops on this street. Wall Street today.

A commercial street that emerged in the Yuan Dynasty, was established in the Ming Dynasty, and has flourished since the Qing Dynasty. There was the Liubiju Sauce Garden that opened in the Ming Dynasty, the famous Chinese medicine store Tongrentang opened during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and the Ma Juyuan Hat Shop and Neiliansheng Shoe Shop opened during the Jiaqing Period are still there today. They are antique and full of history and sentiment, and there are many tourists during the day. It is recommended to visit at night, there are many delicious food.

2. Xuanwumen

Recommendation reason: Exit from the south exit of Qianmen and go west to the northeast of the Xuanwumen intersection. There is a large courtyard. Sometimes the gate is not opened and the gate is opened. You can go in directly and enter the courtyard three times. On a clear day, looking at the cathedral standing under the blue sky, the clouds are clear and the wind is light, which is unique and delicious.

3. South Hall:

Recommendation reason: Go west to Tonglinge Road, turn in, and after walking for a while, you will see the Chinese Anglican Church on the west side of the road. Take the Hanting Express Next to the hotel. The church is not big and not high. Standing on a narrow roadside, the building is in the shape of a cross and the roof is Chinese style. It is still very interesting.

4. Chinese Anglican Church:

Recommendation reason: Continue along Tonglinge Road to the north to reach the east-west New Culture Street. Head east first, and there is Keler County that cannot be entered. A few steps further from the palace, the current Beijing Lu Xun Middle School is the former site of the Beijing Normal School for Women. New Culture Street itself is less crowded and quiet. Wandering among old buildings and new residential areas, it feels like traveling through time.

5. The former site of Beijing Normal University for Women is now Beijing Lu Xun Middle School

Reason for recommendation: Go west along New Culture Street to Wenhua Hutong, where is the former residence of Li Dazhao. It is also the one with fewer people in the former residence. I personally like the former residence very much. The amount of information is definitely not as good as that of memorial halls or museums, but you can truly feel the feeling of living there, imagine the warm sunshine in spring and the rain and snow in winter, and the taste of time blends into your heart.

Go to the main road outside from your former residence, located at the west entrance of New Culture Street. You can consider taking a bus to nearby Xidan to continue shopping or have dinner.

6. Shichahai:

Reason for recommendation: Shichahai is close to cultural attractions such as Prince Gong’s Mansion and Nanluogu Lane. Walk all the way down and take in the scenery.

Shichahai is an open scenic spot with open water in the inner city of Beijing. It is beautiful to take a boat on the water. You can also take a rickshaw and stroll along the river embankment, and listen to old Beijing’s jokes about the humanities and historical sites such as Prince Gong’s Mansion, Prince Qing’s Mansion, Prince Chun’s Mansion, Soong Ching Ling’s Former Residence, Guo Moruo’s Former Residence, and Mei Lanfang’s Former Residence (the ride here is calculated on a per person basis, and one car ride Two people need the price of two people), very Beijing flavor.

7. Nanluoguxiang

Reason for recommendation: You can go to Nanluoguxiang from Shichahai.

Nanluoguxiang is a traditional ancient street with Hutong culture that combines petty bourgeoisie sentiment and the charm of old Beijing. With various snacks and shops, Nanluoguxiang is crowded with people and rarely quiets down. Nanluogu Alley has become a must-visit place in the imperial capital. The surrounding old alleys support Nanluogu Alley like blood vessels. It has many characteristics, many of which have signs of cultural relics protection units at various levels, and many small and artistic shops. , it is worth a visit. It is recommended not to eat too much at each restaurant, but you can eat very uniquely from beginning to end.

8. Lama Temple

Reason for recommendation: Yonghe Temple is located in the northeast corner of the inner city of Dongcheng District, Beijing. It was once the residence of Prince Yong and was later converted into a temple. It is the largest Tibetan temple in Beijing. Buddhist temple.

Free Buddhist incense is provided on both sides of the main entrance of Yonghe Temple. Each hall in the temple contains numerous Buddha statues, thangkas and a large number of precious cultural relics, including the Five Hundred Arhats carved from red sandalwood, the large Buddhist niche carved with golden nanmu and the dragon and the 18-meter-high The white sandalwood Buddha is the most impressive. There are many tourists, but it becomes quiet after entering the temple. Compared with other places, the splendor and mystery of Yonghe Temple make people feel very different.
