Go to Beijing on January 25th and return to Hangzhou on the 31st. Looking for Beijing winter travel guide, self-guided tour

When choosing a hotel, it is good to stay in places such as Chongwenmen, Xizhimen, Xuanwumen, and Yonghegong. These are subway interchange stations, making it convenient to travel without traffic jams. The Beijing subway extends in all directions, with many, many stations. You can easily find nearby subway stations. Let me give you a general travel route.

Day 1: You should change to Line 1 to go to Tiananmen. It is recommended to get up early to watch the flag-raising. In winter, the flag-raising time is late in Beijing, and the subway operates very early at 5 o'clock. You can rush to watch the flag-raising. You can take photos in Tiananmen Square in the early morning when there are few people, and then go around Tiananmen Square to visit the Forbidden City, National Museum, Jingshan Park, Qianmen, Dashilar, and listen to music at the National Center for the Performing Arts in the evening. It’s enough for a full day.

Day 2: You can take the subway under the East Gate of the Temple of Heaven on No. 15 and visit the Temple of Heaven. If you have children, you can take some time to take them to the Natural History Museum at the west gate of the Temple of Heaven. Children like to go there. The west gate of the Temple of Heaven is located in the Yongding Gate area on the central axis of Beijing. The buildings in the middle are well landscaped and green, and it is actually good for taking pictures. If you visit the Temple of Heaven quickly and have plenty of time, you can go to Beihai and take a taxi. It’s only 4 kilometers away. It’s also good to go to Tianqiao Deyun Club in the evening to watch Guo Degang’s cross talk.

Day 3: Go to Shichahai and take the bus to "Drum Tower Station", which is the eastern area of ??Shichahai. You can walk around Shichahai. There is Yandai Xiejie in the east of Shichahai, and then you can see Nanluogu Lane by walking eastward along Maoer Hutong. You can spend the whole day taking photos. In the evening, walk east along Gulou East Street on the north side to reach Jiaodaokou, which is also the west entrance of Guijie Street. Walking eastward along Dongzhimen Street is the place where Guijie is located. It’s a good place to eat in the evening. There is Metro Line 2 at Dongzhimen on the east side of Gui Street, and Beixinqiao Metro Station on Line 15 on the west side.

Day 4: Go to the Summer Palace, take the subway and change to Line 4 and get off at Beigongmen, which is the North Gate of the Summer Palace (there is the Summer Palace Suzhou Street Temple Fair on the first to fifth day of the Spring Festival, a super miniature temple fair. It is expected to visit The Summer Palace is enough for you to spend a day, because it is so big. It takes four or five hours to walk around. After leaving the Summer Palace in the afternoon, you can go to the Old Summer Palace or go shopping. There are three-wheelers at the door that will take you there for 20 yuan. Take the bus 690 or 332 from the Summer Palace Terminal and take a taxi for 4 kilometers. In the evening, after leaving the Old Summer Palace, there is the Tsinghua University Garden (also close to Peking University). It is also good to visit Tsinghua University at night.

Day 5: There are many temple fairs in Beijing during the Spring Festival. It’s no problem to spend a day at any one. There are all kinds of food, drinks and folk art. In fact, it is best to go and see the Ditan Temple Fair and Longtan Temple Fair during the Spring Festival...N There are many temple fairs, just pick one of these two. There are many snacks, but there is no need to go to Wangfujing Snack Street.

The Great Wall is windy, and the scenery is relatively bleak, which is not fun. Don’t go if you’re far away. It’s best to take the subway when you come to Beijing to avoid heartbreaking traffic jams. It’s best to save a subway map on your phone, or install a mobile GPS map (Baidu mobile map, Google mobile map will work). , it is convenient to ask for directions, check vehicles, traffic conditions, etc.

There are many roast duck restaurants in Beijing. You can’t go to Quanjude. Quanjude is just famous and there is nothing particularly special about Quanjude. There is one at the southeast corner of Hepingmen Station on Line 2 and one at the front door. These two are quite iconic. In fact, you can find any roast duck restaurant in Beijing such as Bianyifang and Laohuji. It's almost the same. After all, the level of roast duck here is almost the same, otherwise who would dare to open a roast duck restaurant?

The weather in Beijing is very good. It is estimated that it will be a warm winter this year. A sweater and a down jacket will be enough, or warm underwear. That's it. It's best to prepare woolen gloves, scarves and woolen hats, which are enough to keep out the cold. It's just that it's relatively dry here. If you come from the south, you probably won't be able to adapt to the dry weather within three days. You should drink more water, especially in winter. Drink plenty of water. Beijing is very dry. It is best not to drink alcohol or eat chili peppers when you first come here, otherwise you may get angry. Try not to go to windy places in Beijing at night and try to stay in places with many buildings or in urban areas. , don’t go to the suburbs, otherwise you will need to strengthen your cold-proof equipment.

A bus card is a must for traveling in Beijing. After all, you will stay for a long time. If you go to the suburbs such as the Great Wall, applying for a bus card can save you a lot of money. . You usually use a bus card when taking the subway, otherwise it will break your heart if there are so many people queuing up to buy tickets. I suggest you buy one on Taobao and recharge it with cash at any subway station in Beijing. You can’t go there during the time you come. You can buy it at official card sales offices (you can buy it from street vendors), and you can only buy it at designated locations in Beijing during the first ten days of each month.
