Where to experience the old Beijing style?

To experience the old Beijing style, I recommend the following five scenic spots:

Nanluoguxiang

Wudaoying Hu tong

Shichahai

Dongjiaomin lane

imperial capital

When it comes to Beijing, people are impressed by the hutongs and quadrangles in Beijing. The old Beijingers said, "The famous hutong is 360, and there are many unknown hutongs." So if you want to experience the old Beijing style, of course, you should go to Beijing Hutong and some classic scenic spots to experience the old Beijing style, such as the Forbidden City. The five I listed above are all famous hutongs, among which there must be something from old Beijing and a sense of scope. Let me talk about it in detail.

It was completed in the same period of the Yuan Dynasty. It is one of the oldest blocks in Beijing with a history of more than 740 years. It is one of the oldest blocks in Beijing, the largest, highest-grade and richest chessboard-style traditional residential area in China, which completely retains the texture of hutong quadrangles in Yuan Dynasty and is also the street with the strongest style in old Beijing. Nanluoguxiang and its surroundings used to be the center of the Yuan Dynasty, but in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was even richer and more expensive. The streets and alleys here are crowded with dignitaries and numerous palaces. It was not until the demise of the Qing Dynasty that the prosperity of Nanluoguxiang slowly ended.

Brief introduction of forbidden city

The Forbidden City in Beijing is the imperial palace of China in Ming and Qing Dynasties, formerly known as the Forbidden City, located in the center of Beijing's central axis. The Forbidden City in Beijing is centered on three halls, covering an area of about 720,000 square meters, with a construction area of about10.5 million square meters. There are more than 70 palaces and 9000 houses. The Forbidden City in Beijing is one of the largest and best-preserved ancient wooden structures in the world. It is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction and was listed as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units in 196 1. 1987 is listed as a world cultural heritage.

All I said above is that you don't need to buy a ticket except the Forbidden City. Of course, some of them need to be kept, as mentioned above. Let me give you some advice on your trip:

Be sure to prepare your ID card, student ID card and Beijing Healthy Green Code.

Electrical appliances: charger, earphone, selfie stick, charging treasure, camera, etc.

Clothing: change clothes, flat shoes, and decide to increase or decrease clothes according to the temperature.

Skin care and make-up: Pay attention to closing doors and windows, check the safety of power supply, and take out garbage before taking out lotion, facial cleanser, makeup remover, facial towel and cosmetics.

Because you are visiting the classic and leisurely old Beijing style, you can bring more literary and classical clothes, and the environment will be more atmospheric.
