How much does it cost to travel to Beijing?

Practical introduction of old Beijing characteristic tourism

The most authentic Beijing is in Shichahai. The Forbidden City and the Great Wall were written by the royal family, and the bricks and tiles in Shichahai are the untold joys, sorrows and life experiences of ordinary people.

Sightseeing: Shichahai is known as the natural beauty of "West Lake Spring, Qinhuai Summer and Dongting Autumn". Visitors generally enter the "Silver Ingot View Mountain" scenic spot, one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing, and then visit Gongwangfu Garden, Soong Ching Ling's former residence, Guo Moruo's former residence, Hutong dwellings and so on. Follow the south bank and climb the bell and drum tower. In the evening, Houhai Bar Street becomes lively. Visitors can row boats around the lake under the flashing lights, or find a storefront by the river to have a drink.

Eat: 1, Dongxingshun Fried Belly Zhang (No.7, Qian Haidong Yan, Shichahai, Xicheng District/kloc-0), a century-old shop, you are not a Beijinger unless you eat once. There are often no seats, so don't be late. Recommended: tripe, mutton offal soup, fire. 2. Old China Hakka Restaurant (east bank of Shichahai, Xicheng District). Hakka dishes with a "northern" flavor, three cups of duck and perch wrapped in tin foil, are a must for every table. It is not interesting to suggest eating outdoors.

Address: Beijing Lishe Shichahai Youth Hostel, formerly known as Zhenwu Temple and one of the top ten ancient temples in Shichahai, is recommended, which has both ancient charm and comfort. Details/Hotel/Province 1/ City 9825/H788/

In addition, Beijing Bay Inn is also good, just on Gulou Street, with a strong hutong atmosphere and relatively cheap prices. Details/Hotel/Province 1/ City 9824/H3099/

However, I would like to remind you that general youth hostels and special inns are very popular, and beds are guaranteed only if you book in advance. Recommend a rest travel network (www. 1rest.com), where you can book cheap and economical hotels all over the country.

Introduction of cheap accommodation for self-help tour in Beijing

Beijing is a city worthy of taste, and this taste is by no means like a tour guide's little red flag. Calm down, look for it slowly and chew it slowly. I have always advised my friends who come to Beijing not to join the tour group, because the feeling of walking on the roots of the imperial city is really heavy. But every time the other person blurts out to refute me, the reason is always: go by yourself? It's so worrying. Finding a place to live is enough.

That's true. I'm afraid everyone who travels by himself has encountered such a problem. The more popular the tourist destination, the more difficult it is to find comfortable and cheap accommodation. After searching online for a long time, I found a clean, hygienic and economical hotel, only to find that the traffic there is extremely inconvenient, so I have to change trains and walk to any scenic spot, and I am not interested.

From now on, until the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, Beijing's tourism fever will only increase. Tourists from all over the country, even from all over the world, will never be easily intimidated by the high temperature in Beijing. July and August have always been the tourist season, and it will enter the most beautiful season in Beijing from September. After a while, the snowy capital will be charming. It seems that for a long time, Beijing will be crowded with tourists from all walks of life and will not stop for a moment. From this point of view, the accommodation problem of Beijing tourism will definitely make many eager travelers scratch their heads.

In fact, it is very practical for self-help tourists to avoid prime locations and choose to live along the subway. The housing is loose, the price is low, and the most important thing is that you can come and go to the scenic spots very conveniently and quickly.

After all, Beijing's bus congestion has long been famous all over the country. It's a little difficult for you to expect to take the morning and evening bus to the scenic spot. You may be stuck in the third ring road for an hour or two, wasting a lot of time shopping. In addition, the last bus in Beijing is very early, and buses in some areas stopped around 8 pm. Visitors who come to Beijing for the first time can only work hard (walk back) or lose money (take a taxi) if they are not careful. Compared with public transportation, the speed and frequency of subway are guaranteed. There are many scenic spots along the 1 line and the ring subway, and there is no extra charge for transfer between the two lines. The first and last bus time is about 5:00-23:00. For tourists who are not familiar with Beijing, why not save time and money and experience the earliest underground traffic in China?

After determining the general direction along the subway, we should also consider the standards of hygiene, safety, affordability and characteristics before screening. Here, I will introduce some cost-effective budget hotels and youth hostels along the route, which can be booked online through EasyTour, saving money and being convenient. I hope it will help the self-help tourists who travel to Beijing.

The famous scenic spots along the route include Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Wangfujing, Dongdan, Xidan, Zhongshan Park, Working People's Cultural Palace, Qianmen, Bajiao Amusement Park, Military Museum and Princess Tomb. Generally speaking, any section along 1 is hard to get a ticket in Beijing, especially if you can live between Xidan and dongdan station in the middle section, you can shop in a convenient location, and you can visit Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and other scenic spots at any time.

Apart from the housing problem, I would like to introduce some special cuisines in Beijing. Quanjude, Donglaishun, Barbecue Season and other time-honored hotels are relatively expensive, but they are all famous dishes with a long history and are worth a try. If you just want to taste snacks, you can go to Wangfujing Snack Street, Houhai Street, Guijie Street and Qianmen Street. These places are also easy to reach by subway. Bean juice, fried belly, first-class sesame seed cake, pork chop, Aiwowo, pea yellow, kidney bean cake, tea soup, etc. If you want to eat the original flavor, you'd better go to the store to find the gold-lettered signboard of old Beijing traditional snacks. But some snacks taste strange, such as bean juice and tripe, which southerners may not like. It's best not to order too much at a time to avoid wasting.

If you want to eat delicious food, you can also try around the University for Nationalities. Several xinjiang cuisine, Hunan, Dai and Hakka dishes are quite authentic.
