1. The Great Wall

Visitors to Beijing for the first time always flock to this repeatedly renovated city wall. But if you go to Badaling, you will probably be disappointed, because the traces of history are almost invisible. If you meet the Golden Week, it will turn your dream into a nightmare.

Recommend several places that have been developed but not yet commercialized:

Mutianyu

Huairou, a place with a good reputation in the Great Wall, has not many people. It's close to the city center and there is a cable car. It is more convenient to take the elderly and children to visit. Admission: 40 yuan, student tickets are half price.

Jinshanling

The Great Wall at the beginning of CCTV news broadcast was shot here. It's far from the city, and it used to be the place where Xu Da was stationed on the Great Wall. Because of the mountains and climate, it is easy to see spectacular scenery such as clouds and sunset. Admission: 50 yuan/person (peak season) and 40 yuan/person (off season).

Simatai

This section of the Great Wall is connected with Jinshanling, which is famous for its precipitousness and is well worth visiting. The main body has been repaired, but most of it remains the same, which is the most enjoyable part of all the Great Wall. The steepness of places like Donkey's Back and wangjinglou is simply a miracle of the construction industry. Admission: 40 yuan/person

Recommend a few wild Great Walls that have not yet developed their absolute flavor:

Gubeikou

The Great Wall here is connected with Jinshanling and Simatai, and many outdoor lovers often cross this line. Gubeikou Great Wall is divided into Panlong Mountain and Wohu Mountain, some of which are winding and some are steep. The most attractive thing about Gubeikou Great Wall is that the Great Wall here has a lot of humanistic charm because of Gubeikou, a historic town. Tickets: 25 yuan/person for Panlongshan Great Wall and 20 yuan/person for Guzhen.

Arrow buckle

The wildest Great Wall in Beijing is sought after by many outdoor people, and many donkeys who rushed to it were killed. Cultural relics protection units have regulations not to climb such a big Great Wall. But if you think it's rare, you can go and see it. Take care of yourself and walk along the Great Wall. The arrow buckle is very imposing, especially when it snows.

Huanghuacheng

If the Great Wall winds up the mountain and plunges into the water in one breath, the feeling of the prince and the showgirl will make you feel that the Great Wall is alive. Yellow flowers cover the mountains in October, which is the origin of its name. So it's good to visit the Great Wall in Beijing in October. Admission: 34 yuan, student ticket 17 yuan.

2. Tiananmen Palace

The Forbidden City-the compound where the office and life of ancient emperors were integrated. To understand the atmosphere of Beijing, we must start from the Forbidden City.

It has been a long time since the Olympic Games, but the Bird's Nest building is absolutely fresh because of its special significance and peculiar shape.

Second, the avant-garde place

1. Houhaihe Interchange

Friends who like to go to bars can go to Houhai at night. Houhai is the most moderate place in terms of mood and consumption level, with lotus leaves and cool breeze. If you have a soft spot for hutongs and beautiful women, go to Nanluoguxiang, where bars are mostly quiet bars. And Nanluoguxiang is not far from Gulou Street, so you can try Beijing snacks by the way.

Lao hutong community

Shichahai

Shichahai consists of Qianhai, Houhai and Xihai (Jishuitan). It has always been regarded as the cultural context of Kyoto, and it is the place with the most beautiful scenery and the strongest cultural atmosphere outside the imperial city. Now, this area is also the most concentrated place where hutongs and quadrangles are preserved.

Palace: This is the best preserved palace. It used to be the residence.

Xie Jie, Dai Yan: In the most lively and noisy place in Houhai, you can smell the mixed smell of quadrangles, cafes and fashion shops along the way.

Nanluoguxiang

It is about 1000 meters long from north to south, with eight hutongs symmetrical from east to west, which are shaped like centipedes, so it is also called "centipede street". The hutong of Centipede Street is gray and clean. The houses beside the hutong are all gray bricks and blue tiles, which have a different taste compared with Wang Fu.

Jiugulou avenue

Old Gulou Street, once an ancient street in Yuan Dynasty, has the oldest hutong in Beijing, and has also experienced a street widening project that broke the heart of old Beijingers. There are several very fashionable bars and restaurants here now.

East Line of Dongdan to Beixinqiao Avenue Road

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this area was a place where officials were concentrated. Hutong layout is rigorous, and the houses on both sides are also the best houses in Beijing in the old days. Although it was badly damaged, you can still see the features of the big houses in those days, especially Dongbu Hutong and Dongsi Liuliu. There are still stone lions and piers in front of several houses.

Southwest area of Xisi

Most of the hutongs here are the official residences of the old capital, and there are also some hutongs in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, such as Zhuanta Hutong, which is one of the oldest hutongs in Beijing.

Bada Hu tong

The eight recognized hutongs are Baishun Hutong, Rouge Hutong, Hanjiatan, Shaanxi Lane, Shitou Hutong, Xie Jie, Wang Guangfu, Zhujiahu Hutong and Lishamao Hutong. 、

2.798 Art District:

In this place, you will find some avant-garde nude sculptures, as well as those big pipes braving white steam in arcade game when I was a child. You will see workers in greasy overalls walking past the elegant small bar, talking and laughing. You will see the names of various art studios and the serial numbers of some factories appear on the signboard to guide you in the maze-like factory area. The essence of art has been well reflected in this state.

3. Bashang:

The northern part of Beijing, where the North China Plain meets the northern grassland, is where Kangxi practiced horse hunting. Autumn is the most beautiful, with a large area of birch trees, grasslands shaded by white clouds and mirror-like lakes in Huang Cancan. It takes only four hours by train from Beijing.

4. Cuanxia Village: A small village near the ancient road in western Beijing. In the Ming dynasty, the caravan stayed here for one night before going to Beijing, and it happened to be refreshed the next day. Therefore, this small village retains many ancient commercial characteristics, and now it is relatively mature, somewhat similar to Lijiang, with many inns and no shortage of places to live.

5. Yuxian: Administrative divisions do not belong to Beijing, but tourism has no boundaries. Beijing is well worth a visit, where paper-cutting is very famous, and it is a small county town with almost no commercialization.
