Beijing travel guide must-visit attractions

I went to Beijing last month. I went to all the famous attractions in Beijing. I also read a lot of guides before going there. I appreciated the majesty of the ancient palace architecture and felt the charm of the modern city. It’s prosperous and I feel like I’ve gained a lot after exploring the cultural monuments. So what are the attractions in Beijing that are worth visiting?

1. The Forbidden City Museum

The Forbidden City Museum in Tiananmen Square is one of the must-visit attractions when first arriving in Beijing. It is located on the central axis of downtown Beijing. The Palace Museum is also known as the Forbidden City. It is a world cultural heritage with millions of cultural relics in its collection, one-sixth of the total number of cultural relics in the country.

2. Tiananmen Square

A must-have check-in for Beijing travel - watching the national flag raising in Tiananmen Square. I think I got up early in the morning and rushed to see people raising the national flag.

3. Badaling Great Wall

The Great Wall is known as one of the seven wonders of the medieval world. It is a world cultural heritage and a national 5A-level scenic spot. In Beijing, Badaling Juyongguan Mutian Yu is a famous section, especially the Badaling Great Wall. It is the earliest section of the Ming Great Wall open to tourists. It is the most elite part of the Great Wall and is known as the most majestic.

4. Nanluogu Alley

One of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing, it preserves the largest and highest-grade checkerboard-style traditional Yuan Dynasty hutong residential area. Later it was developed into a commercial street. The collision of history and modern culture made it a new landmark in Beijing.

5. Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven is a place where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshiped the emperor and prayed for a good harvest. It is a world cultural heritage and a national 5A-level scenic spot. The general name of the altar has two layers of altar walls, forming an inner and outer altar. The altar walls are round in the south and north, symbolizing the round sky and the place. The imperial vault is used to worship the gods in the ceremony.

6. Summer Palace

The Summer Palace is a royal garden built by Emperor Qianlong to honor the empress Xiaosheng. The garden is modeled after the West Lake and imitates Jiangnan gardens and scenic spots.

7. Olympic Park

Olympic Park is the main stadium of the 29th Olympic Games in 2008. It is now a national 5A-level scenic spot and houses 10 Olympic competitions such as the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. The venue is a very nice attraction.

8. Jingshan Park

For most tourists, the greatest significance of Jingshan Park is to overlook the Forbidden City. It also has a historical significance. In 1644, Li Zicheng captured the city of Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Jingshan.

9. Beihai Park

Beihai Park, Zhonghai and Nanhai are collectively known as the Three Seas. It belongs to the ancient Chinese royal gardens. It was originally a palace built in the Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties. It was turned into an imperial garden in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It has a unique Jingxinzhai with a Suzhou garden style and a nine-dragon wall inlaid with five-color glazed glass. It is worth visiting. Check in.

10. Shichahai

Shichahai is also called "Shichahai". There were originally ten Buddhist temples around it, so it was so called. There are many royal palaces and alleys around...all telling the history of old Beijing. The palace of Prince Gong, the corrupt official of the Qing Dynasty He Shen, is also here.
