From time to time, I hear people complain that "there is nothing in Beijing." In fact, after taking a closer look, I found that there are really endless treasures in the suburbs of Beijing. If you don't believe me, let's explore together. At least I can plan a small itinerary for this summer vacation.

# Yongning Ancient Town

Even if I have lived in Beijing for many years , many people may not necessarily know the existence of Yongning Ancient Town. This place is located in the Adam's apple north of the capital, Juyongguan and the imperial mausoleums of the Ming Dynasty. It was established in the Tang Dynasty. By the Ming Dynasty, it had strong city walls and prosperous commerce. It is a veritable ancient town and enjoys the reputation of "the first cultural town in the suburbs of Beijing".

Mr. TO recommends that you go to the nearby Yanqing Baili Gallery for sightseeing, and then come here to rest. In the center of the ancient town is the Yuhuang Pavilion (about 20 meters high) with cornices and brackets. If the north-south line is extended, it will be on the same central axis as Tiananmen Square and the Ming Tombs. Four streets radiate out from here, including the "culture, education and health" street to the east, the "handcraft workshop" street to the west, the "culture" street to the south, and the "Ming and Qing style" pedestrian commercial street to the north.

There are quaint shops on both sides of the pedestrian commercial street, including inns, old furniture, antiques and snacks, as well as fruits and vegetables sold by surrounding farmers (prices are impressive). You might as well try the 2,000-year-old shop. The historical local specialty snack "Fire Spoon" is tender in flesh and crispy in skin, delicious and cheap. Vegetarians can fill it with fried pancakes, and those with meat are the most popular. Add some scallions, coriander, and fresh chili to make your mouth water!

Yongning is also famous for its physalis tofu (usually everyone only knows about gypsum and brine tofu). There is a saying that "from Nanjing to Beijing, you have to eat tofu to Yongning". This technique takes a long time , the technique is difficult and has strict requirements on the weather, the tenderness and temperature of the physalis water, but the tofu is more delicious and beautiful.

Yongning Catholic Church was burned down by the Boxers and later rebuilt with Gengzi compensation in 1902. The Gothic ceiling of the church is rich in paintings. After that, I went to see the county government office, Confucian Temple and Xianhua Temple which were rebuilt according to their original appearance in 2003. They were basically the same. By the way, the festive atmosphere around the Spring Festival here is stronger than in the city every year, and the popularity is also the most popular.
