——The latest comprehensive guide for self-guided tours in Beijing

Introduction to Beijing attractions

1. Classic places

1. The Great Wall

As an ancient city, Beijing should be grateful to a man and a woman. One is Ying Zheng, and the other will be discussed later.

This tyrannical First Emperor was not irresponsible to his people. The construction of the Great Wall is a good example. It is difficult to say that the Great Wall did not play a role in resisting foreign enemies, otherwise it would not have existed in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor continued to build it, but it was not the Great Wall's fault that it failed to defend against foreign invasion. It was due to Shanhaiguan's inaction.

Let’s not talk about the merits and demerits of the Great Wall itself. Looking at the first-time visitors to Beijing, how many of them are not attracted to this repeatedly renovated city wall? But if you go to Badaling, you will probably be very disappointed, because there are almost no traces of history. If you encounter Golden Week, it can turn your dream into a nightmare.

Recommend a few places that have been developed but not yet heavily commercialized:

Mutianyu

In Huairou, the Great Wall has a better reputation and is not It is a very crowded place, relatively close to the city center, and there is a cable car, which is more convenient for traveling with the elderly and children.

Address: Mutianyu Tourist Area, Huairou District, Beijing

Ticket: 45 yuan, half price for students.

Transportation: Take bus 916 from Dongzhimen to Huairou, or take a taxi to Mutianyu parking lot.

Jinshanling

It is relatively far from the urban area and is already considered the junction of Hebei and Beijing. The Great Wall there is where Xu Da once stationed. Due to the mountain topography and climate, it is easy to create spectacular scenery such as mist, mist, and sunset. There is a local disabled photographer named Zhou Wanping who is stationed on the mountain to take pictures. He has produced many stunning pictures of the Great Wall. The classic pictures of the Great Wall that you see in various publications are basically all created by him. By the way, the section of the Great Wall in the opening credits of CCTV News Network was also filmed here. The entrance to Jinshanling is not very high and there is no cable car, but it is not tiring at all to climb up. I once took my 76-year-old grandma to climb up, which made her very excited for several days.

Address: Located more than ten kilometers southeast of the Great Wall at Gubeikou in the suburbs of Beijing, it is under the jurisdiction of Luanping County, Hebei Province.

Search by car from Beijing, follow National Highway 101 through Gubeikou, pass through Bakshiying and arrive at Hualougou.

Simatai

This section of the Great Wall is connected to Jinshan Ridge and is famous for its steepness. It is worth a visit. The main part has been repaired, but most of it remains original. It is the most enjoyable section of all the Great Wall. The precipitousness of places such as Donkey Back and Wangjing Tower are simply miracles of construction.

Recommend a few undeveloped and absolutely original places of the Great Wall:

Gubeikou

The Great Wall here is connected with Jinshanling and Simatai, and there are many Outdoor enthusiasts often cross this route. The Great Wall at Gubeikou is divided into two parts, Panlong Mountain and Wohu Mountain. One is winding and the other is steep. What makes the Great Wall at Gubeikou most attractive is that the Great Wall here has a lot of humanistic charm because of the historical town of Gubeikou. It was here that the Yang family arrived in Jin Dynasty, Xu Da fought against the Japanese pirates here, and Tong Linge fought against the Japanese here. Cixi and his entourage also stopped here to wipe their sweat when they went to Chengde to escape the summer heat. These people have left a lot of traces in the small town. You will know it when you go there. It is quite interesting.

Address: Northeastern Miyun County, Beijing

Tickets: Panlongshan Great Wall ticket is 25 yuan/person, and ancient town ticket is 20 yuan/person.

Jiankou

Beijing’s most wild Great Wall is popular with many outdoor enthusiasts, and has killed many donkeys who ventured there. The cultural relics protection unit has regulations that prohibit climbing the Great Wall like this. But if you find it strange, you can go and see it. Just take care of yourself and walk down the Great Wall. Arrow buttons are very impressive, especially when it snows.

Address: Xizhazi Village, Badaohe Township, Northwest Huairou County, Beijing

Transportation: Take No. 916 at Dongzhimen and get off at Huairou Main Station, take Huairou Inner Ring Road and Outer Ring Road and get off at Yujiayuan Station Transfer to the minibus bound for Xizhazi Village. There are not many buses on this bus. You can also choose to take a bus from Huairou to Xizhazi Village, Badaohe Township. The cost of chartering a bus is about 40 to 60 yuan. It depends on your negotiation skills.

Huanghuacheng

If the Great Wall winds on the mountain and then plunges into the water, the feeling of playing with dragons and phoenixes will make you feel that the Great Wall is also alive. In October, the mountains are covered with yellow flowers, which is the origin of its name. So it’s not a bad idea to come to Beijing in October to see the Great Wall here.

Telephone: 010-61651111 61651818

2. Tiananmen Forbidden City

You can’t enter Zhongnanhai, but the Forbidden City can. Take a look at the ancient courtyard where the emperor's office and life were integrated, and then take a look at the common people in Beijing listening to the radio and falling asleep on leisurely benches under the imperial city. You will truly understand what kind of life an imperial city provides to Beijingers. and culture. To understand the atmosphere of Beijing, you must start from the Forbidden City.

Tiananmen is a symbol of Beijing and a symbol of New China. Whether it is the older generation who have personally experienced the founding of New China, or the pictures they saw in textbooks when they were primary school students, as long as they come to Beijing for the first time People will definitely go to Tiananmen, maybe they will forget the existence of the monument, and they will not go to the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. Unfortunately, they will not be able to raise or lower the flag in the square at the right time, but they will definitely look for the portrait of Chairman Mao and take a photo to commemorate it. Only then will you feel at ease and truly arrive in Beijing.

Transportation: You can reach it by taking buses 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 17, 20, 22, 44, 52, 53, 54, 59, 110, etc. . Take the circular line subway to Qianmen Station, and get off at Tiananmen East Station or Tiananmen West Station of the linear subway.

The Wanchun Pavilion on the mountain is the commanding height of old Beijing, from which you can have a panoramic view of the Forbidden City.

3. Temple of Heaven

The place where the emperor worshiped heaven. After watching some scenes of the Temple of Heaven during a thunderstorm in the movie "With You", you will find that no matter how tall the emperor is, he cannot reach the sky, and no matter how powerful the Forbidden City is, it cannot overpower the Temple of Heaven. If you don't go here, your understanding of the imperial city will be incomplete.

4. Summer Palace

I have always felt that Cixi was an anti-war activist, and her contribution should be no less than that of Ying Zheng. From the perspective of a woman, if she spends the expenses of a fleet to build a miraculous garden, no matter how much she enjoys it, it will only last for a few years. Although this woman lived a very useless life in those years, from now on, ticket sales at the gate Judging from the foreign devils stuffing money into it, how many of them are not descendants of the Eight-Power Allied Forces? According to statistics, the Summer Palace’s annual ticket revenue from foreign guests alone is close to 100 million yuan. Think about which one is more cost-effective. This reminds me of the time when Liang Si cried bitterly when Beijing demolished the city wall. If it were not demolished, TNN would make another 100 million yuan a year.

5. Old Summer Palace

Not to mention this place, just thinking about it makes me angry, not because of the burning of the garden by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, but because of the plastic covering of the bottom of the lake during that time thing. If you only like prosperous and beautiful scenery, don't come to Yuanmingyuan, because this is a heritage park with only decadent scenery. The Old Summer Palace was very large. When it was still alive, it was known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". Its land building area was as large as the Forbidden City, and its water area was equal to that of the Summer Palace. Its gardens were a perfect example of combining Chinese and Western styles. In 1860, the British and French forces invaded Beijing and looted the cultural relics and treasures in the garden. In the end, they set fire to the garden and completely burned it, leaving only the ruins of the ruins.

Address: No. 28, Qinghua West Road, Haidian District, Beijing

Tickets: 10 yuan (15 yuan for the Dashui Fa Site) half price for students.

6. Olympic Bird's Nest

The Olympic Games have passed for a long time, but the Bird's Nest building has special meaning and unique appearance. After all, it is used to the oriental square architectural shape and carved beams. Chinese people have never experienced such a special design, so it is absolutely new. By the way, after watching the Bird's Nest, I suggest you go to the National Center for the Performing Arts behind the Great Hall of the People. There happens to be a bird's egg there, all ready. The Bird's Nest is now mostly used to hold some large-scale events. You can get a 50 yuan ticket to visit the interior. In fact, there is nothing interesting to see inside, except for rows of chairs and a large open space in the middle.

Tickets: None. Admission to the Bird's Nest requires 50 yuan per person, half price for students with a certificate.

Opening hours: Peak season (April to October): 09:00~19:00; Low season (November to March): 09:00~17:00

Beijing’s land is expensive and housing is expensive, so it’s not easy to find a cheap and good hotel. Of course, I don’t recommend you go to a guest house like the train station where a few people share a room and the bedding is like oilcloth. However, if you search carefully, you can still find many affordable new chain hotels, such as Xinyandu, Super 8, etc., with standard rooms priced at around 100-200 yuan. There are also some specialty inns and youth hostels, which also cost dozens of yuan. There are many beds and standard rooms for about 100 yuan in the inn alliance of Yuanfang.com. You can choose a convenient area to stay according to your travel destination. Still want it lower? There is a basement specially prepared for the Beipiao people. If you want to experience the experiences of many singers before they became successful, you can go there, but it is so damp that water can squeeze out of the quilt.

The following recommends some courtyard style inns in Beijing’s Hutongs:
