How to plan a route for a one-day trip to Beijing by bus?

Green travel in Beijing is still worth promoting. Checking in tourist attractions along the bus lines is also a very good choice. Here we recommend two routes with relatively many and concentrated attractions:< /p>

Route 1: Just take the No. 7 bus and get all the food, drinks and entertainment:

Beijing Zoo-Aquarium-Baita Temple-Liulichang-Overpass

Route Two: Take bus No. 1, and you can have a panoramic view of multiple scenic spots on one line.

Gongzhufen-Dongdan-Xidan-Fuxingmen-Nanlishi Road-Tiananmen Square in Beijing.

Simple guide for Route 1:

The fireworks of old Beijing on this route are relatively strong, and many scenic spots have a sense of age and history. The first stop is to get off at the Zoo Hub Station. It takes only seven minutes to walk to the Beijing Zoo, which has more than 500 rare animals. You can also stop by the aquarium, which is very suitable for couples to date. Take a few stops to get to the White Pagoda Temple. The White Pagoda Temple is a landmark building in Beijing. It has red walls and a white pagoda. It is perfect for checking in and taking photos.

A few recommended attractions

1. Baita Temple

Reason for recommendation: It is a Gelugpa monastery of Tibetan Buddhism. It was first built in the Yuan Dynasty and was originally named "Great Sage and Shou Wan'an Temple". The white pagoda built in the Yuan Dynasty is the oldest and largest lama pagoda in China. In 1961, the "White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple" was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

The famous building in the White Pagoda Temple is the White Pagoda. The White Pagoda body is made of bricks and stones, with a height of 50 meters. It has three parts: the pagoda temple, the pagoda body and the pagoda base.

Location: No. 171, Fuchengmennei Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, China, the eighth stop of bus No. 7.

2. Overpass

Reason for recommendation: It is adjacent to the west side of the Temple of Heaven. It originally referred to a high bridge built in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, the high bridge was demolished, but the place name of the overpass was retained. Now it generally refers to an area on the west side of the Temple of Heaven. This was the center of street art in Beijing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Many artists performed "on the ground" here, which was very lively. Nowadays, there are also many art venues such as Tianqiao Theater and Deyun Society, which are very distinctive.

Location: No. 9, Tianqiao South Street, Xicheng District, Beijing.

Reason for the recommendation of Route 2:

This route mainly contains red patriotic scenic spots, which is suitable for taking children to experience it. From Sihui Bus Hub, take Line 1 from Sihui to Gongzhufen. The first scenic spot is Tiananmen Square in Beijing. If you take bus route 1 and find a very good seat, you can record it completely The appearance of Beijing Tiananmen Square is not only Beijing Tiananmen Square, but also many scenic spots along the way, such as Dongdan, Xidan, Fuxingmen, Nanli Road, Xidi Princess Tomb, and Babaoshan Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery.

We recommend several scenic spots:

1. Princess Tomb

The reason why it is called Princess Tomb is because folklore says that the emperor’s princess is buried here. About the Princess There are several versions of the beautiful legend about the tomb. In fact, according to expert research, two princesses of Emperor Renzong Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty are buried here. Like the Bawang Tomb and the Iron Lion Tomb, the Gongzhu Tomb is also an important symbol of the protection of Beijing’s place-name cultural heritage.

The Gongzhufen area is strategically located and has convenient transportation links. It is not only located on the extension line of Chang'an Street on the map, but is actually the central axis hub of the West Third Ring Road. Due to the complete commercial supporting facilities and convenient transportation, the Gongzhufen area has attracted a large number of domestic and foreign companies to settle in.

Address: In the western suburbs of Beijing, outside Fuxingmen, in the street garden at the junction of Fuxing Road and West Third Ring Road.

How to get there: The bus lines in Beijing that pass (stop at) Gongzhufen are: No. 308, No. 323, No. 368, No. 394, No. 437, No. 483, No. 57, No. 613, No. 728, Metro Line 1, Yuntong No. 108, Yuntong No. 120.

Ticket: 10 yuan (you can swipe the all-in-one card)

Strategy: I entered from the west gate of the park (leave out of Gongzhufen Station on Line 1 and walk about 800 meters), you can directly swipe the all-in-one card to enter It is very convenient to park (the card added by applepay can also be used). As soon as you enter the park from March to April, you can see the cherry blossom trees on the roadside, which are light pink in color. There are many cherry blossom-related products and snacks in the park.

In addition to watching the cherry blossoms, you can also have a picnic with friends. There is a snack street and McDonald's in the park. It is also a good choice to buy something to eat for a picnic when you are tired of shopping. Of course, you can also go boating. Generally, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms while boating, and the weather is just right. It makes you happy just thinking about it.

Photography guide: It is recommended to take close-up shots to reflect the sense of sophistication. Or shoot from an elevated angle to create the feeling of a large cherry blossom forest. Later, I used the iPhone portrait mode + beautiful photos to show off the Japanese beautification of the portrait. The photo effect is so beautiful in minutes!

2. Xidan

First, let’s talk about how Dongdan and Xidan came to be. The word "single" is because the archway here is a single one. The archway in Xidan is called "Zhanyun" and the archway in Dongdan is called "Jiuri". The Dongdan Archway and Xidan Archway opened in this way. In the 1950s, the road was expanded and the archways were demolished, leaving only "Dongdan" and "Xidan". Such a concise and smooth name for the boundary turns out to be the family property left by the archway.

Xidan is the most fashionable area in Beijing. In the past, Beijing did not have so many big roads as it does now. Residents north of the Xidan Archway would like to go to Qianmen Dashilan to buy some things or visit the amusement park. You have to go through the Xidan intersection. There are also officials who live outside Guang'anmen and Xuanwumen who want to go to the palace to do something or go to the yamen to make a job. Xidan is also the only way to enter Xuanwumen. There is so much traffic in Xidan, how can it be difficult to do business?

Address: No. 131, Xidan North Street, Xicheng District, Beijing.

How to get there: Bus lines passing through Xidan Shopping Center include No. 332, No. 102, No. 105, No. 109, No. 22, No. 46, No. 88, No. 13, No. 10, and No. 4 buses. line.
