The first day of the train, wake up, have been approaching the Tianjin. Look at the car window, already is the school of the North scenery. Trees, while small, but significant. Some fields do not have kinds of crops, bare loess, the roadside farm home are worn, eyeful are gray, and can not see the kind of small building scenery of southern farmers. The reason may be due to early morning, passers-by pedestrians, not much makes them even slightly desolate.
Vehicles to Tianjin North Railway Station (perhaps West Station South Station or something, remember a), no one get off, people have only one destination - Beijing. The railway station a little European flavor, very good, I'm sorry did not shoot down, so at present because of the vague and unspeakable memories.
At half-past seven, I finally set foot on the platform of the Beijing Railway Station, half an hour late. Surprise, the platform car to open up a direct shuttle guests, I heard that such and such state organs are, so I suddenly realize what a privileged class. I and his associates, "a pig" hurriedly went out of station, "Lao Yao." He is our university students in Beijing for one year.
This guy can not wait for long outside the station, from Tianjin, one after the start to a cell phone reminders. He finally wait for us, we are very happy because our luggage more than half are for the things he took, all is based on few days ago he was listed in the Email list of purchases. We seem to have brought half of Suzhou to Beijing, so happy to see him, of course, you can "burden reduction" of the Well.
Down the tunnel, taxi drivers, came to our place of residence - a two-star hotel, a week ago, I set out on the Internet. Beijing's taxi seems only Xiali, Shanghai, Suzhou SANTANA not see running the streets look like. But a price fairly cheap, a two-mile. Suzhou is an 8, Shanghai is a 2. Beijing's housing prices expensive than elsewhere, I have lived in that hotels outside the Third Ring Road in Beijing, while fighting off, each room also 2 more than 100 blocks, do not include breakfast, compared with Shanghai, Shenzhen and a lot expensive. The room is also decent, anyway, there are beds, TV with a 24-hour bath, as well as a refrigerator, that would be enough, and I can not ask a lot more of.
Sichuan meal eaten at noon, in Sichuan Province, the Beijing Office, should be authentic, and not as hot as I imagined,
Boiled fish taste pretty good, although there is an inch thick above the dry hot pepper.
The afternoon to the Temple of Heaven, the door of my classmates in the Temple of Heaven, "fish" has been waiting a long time. She came to Beijing a few days earlier than we would be a boyfriend, go back to time and we have a shuttle bus. The return journey the train a pig to her, she plugs in a 300 RMB a pig in the hands, a bit like a scene on television the drug trade. After the tour with four Temple of Heaven. The most famous is the Temple of Heaven Qi Niandian and the whispering gallery. However, because the 51 do not know whether the relationship between Qi Niandian can not keep pace
Whispering Gallery in the one meter away from the fence stopped the tourists were forbidden to touch it, and made only in the fence opposite the tourist whispering gallery shouting a result, could hear nothing. Look at the whispering gallery later, we went to step on a platform next to the stone is said to bring good luck. Good luck, of course, many people step on, and so for the Wudasancu Fortunately, I just people who were absolutely unambiguous step on small fish is not fuel-efficient lights, not only trampled under several stones, but also riding others 13 feet. Temple of Heaven is divided into sites selling tickets, so to play the main attractions, not have to spend 35RMB per person, this is not ambiguous.
Temple of Heaven next door is a well-known Noodle House, but I do not know its name. Inside rather special, all square table, waiters dressed in Republican clothing, shoulders still chatting up a towel. Waiter was very enthusiastic, see the guests on the loud calls, but a bit embarrassed by what we do. We call the noodles, as well as Beijing酱肉wire,
Mushrooms cabbage and so on. Noodles in Beijing features, but we did not have any sense of taste, but is a Beijing酱肉silk and mushrooms and Chinese cabbage caused by our appetite. The store also features a lot of old Beijing snacks, such as beans Khan, Lvda Gun, etc., but we had heard that Southerners will not be used to eating in Beijing these features, and therefore can not point them snacks.
Small fish at night waiting for his boyfriend came with us to East, after single and Wangfujing shopping. I feel like a pig and the Lao Yao is a big three 1000W light bulb finally found a pretext and go their a. Wangfujing At first glance, a bit like Shanghai, Nanjing Road, but less fine as Nanjing Road and luxury. I mused that the boring, early and take the subway back to the hotel to sleep. Beijing's subway were two, first-line loop intersection, three of money to sit casually, but the car was produced in Changchun and Beijing, there is no air-conditioning, only the "Watson" brand electric fan blowing on the roof, far worse than that of Shanghai However, more frequency than in Shanghai, generally there is a group of three minutes. Ticket is artificial, there is no automatic ticket vending machines, dollar coin machine, of course, there is no automatic ticket machines.
Today I spent the next day and the pigs go to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Beihai and other attractions, Lao Yao as it has been passed and we did not go together. 9 o'clock we have a nearby residence called "home patty" in store for breakfast. Although the store mostly northern cuisine,
However, because of "price fair, fair trade," and attracted many Beijingers come here to patronize, it should be no mistake. As expected,
Two people for breakfast, a total of less than five dollars, not bad. We wiped the mouth out of their stores, went to Tiananmen Square by subway.
Visitors are surrounded by an out of the subway exit. We finally came to the world's largest city square - Tiananmen Square, the heart of the motherland. The People's Heroes Monument, the Great Hall of Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, the Revolutionary Museum, previously only seen on television, are now able to personally see it, could not help but addition of a fraction of emotion. Especially the Golden Water Bridge across the Tiananmen Gate, so that I can not help but think of a child to sing that song: "I love Beijing Tiananmen Square, Tiananmen Square, the sun rises." Vertically, the People's Heroes Monument in front of a huge portrait of Sun Yat-sen, people are taking pictures in their front,
We are no exception. Because it is 51, in Tiananmen Square on a particularly large number of visitors, so to maintain order particularly large number of armed police and patrolmen. Armed everybody is very serious, turning the head radiate a uniform manner and kept watching the crowd around. Patrol Daoting leisurely chatting in the crowd while also guiding visitors from time to time to help. Moreover, the Tiananmen Square on patrol most of pursuing a "mix of men and women, working not tired" principle, but it seems they become handsome guy sex, and so attracted a very high retention rates. Square, you can see tourists from all over the world, I saw a Korean fellow dressed in costumes from around the nation grazed, but because there was so many people, otherwise we will invite them to join together a video, take photos back to Suzhou to show off. Yesterday in the Temple of Heaven we are on the "grasping" a group of monks living a photo, and feel very special.
We spent 20 minutes across the Golden Water Bridge (because so many people and so the armed police to control the flow of people in the Golden Water Bridge), but also through the Tiananmen Gate. Looking at the tower on the densely packed crowd, we have dispelled the idea of board tower, direct walk to the Forbidden City. Because only two windows you can buy a ticket, visitors in the User box office came in more than 100 meters of the long queue, Who we are, "Descendants of the Dragon" mean? Forbidden City ticket is 40RMB, graduate students do not enjoy half-price. Required before the palace should first packet storage, browsing and then at the exit end of the collection, is actually very easy. And others are different, I first went to Taipei's National Palace Museum, is only now come to Beijing Palace Museum, Forbidden City living. People talk about the National Palace Museum in Taipei as "so", Beijing's Forbidden City as "palace," Sure enough. The Imperial Palace is really great, which brings together the essence of Chinese art and architecture, and only experience can appreciate the extensive and profound Chinese nation, but also be able to understand how much the emperor who would enjoy. Today's Forbidden City is still the "heavily guarded" is not the fear of people to assassinate the emperor, but the fear of internal friction of tourists crowding out unexpectedly. What a lovely police Uncle! Really a lot, I squeezed in for a long time before the Palace of Heavenly Purity is also impossible to take pictures inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity of the emperor's throne, inevitably somewhat regrettable. Because of our limited time and I spent pig just walked along the central axis of the Forbidden City Imperial Garden. There are many garden a few meters in diameter pine and cypress, are very vigorous strong. There is a rockery built on with the Taihu Dan, depending on gable as such, seems to be modeled in Suzhou garden. Imperial Garden is not little while we came to the Jingshan Park being the main entrance of the Forbidden City, on the "National Palace Museum," five characters.
Out of the Palace, and quite naturally came to the opposite Jingshan Park, mainly because of the pavilion at the hilltop overlooking the National Palace Museum can be the whole picture. Tickets are not expensive, only 5 RMB. Inside is pretty nice view, are being held Peony Fair. We found a rest from the package that comes out of the mineral water, bread and ham and so on, to solve the problem of lunch. In the Peak, and injustice can see the Forbidden City, but also saw the North Sea Sule Pagoda. Coming down the mountain, we went out straight to Beihai Park, the ticket is 5 RMB. In addition to the North Sea than Baita no particular impression, but added because we do not know roads in the park have come two circles, then out of the park along the fence around the circle, doing a lot of wasted effort.
Out of the North Sea, the sky still early, we decided to stroll Zaiqu Xidan Books Building. Bus ride from the North Sea can be direct, but a bit crowded. By the way, Beijing did not implement the bus almost no tickets, but also to show off tickets to the conductor before the inspection, a little time and effort. Xidan Book Building on Chang'an Street next to Times Square is across the street. We went straight on the floor to sell computer books. Here is very rich variety of computer books, and classification is very small, very convenient access to themselves. In addition, upstairs there is a coffee bar, customers can choose not to books and brought a book to a coffee bar called the cup of coffee or a drink, sit down and turn, was very pleasant.
Xidan Books Building near the metro, we return to place of residence is very convenient. Come out from the subway, we came to the morning came of that home "home meatloaf," and enjoy our dinner. Of course, the taste of food in the north, although the taste a little bit heavy, but it seems than the restaurant next door to the Northeast, "Northeast feminist food" I feel much better, Besides not expensive, we can improvise.
This evening, I spent pig snoring in sleep.
Originally the third day today, and the Lao Yao said yes to the "colleagues" home for dinner. His colleagues in his department's assistant, is a Hunan younger sister is said to be hands-on cooking for us. However, happened the day her parents came to Beijing to see her, eat the things were dropped, until we go back to that day had no chance to see her hosting the Games. A pig and I had to themselves to visit the Military Museum. Jun Bo is also the edge of Chang'an Street, the neighborhood also offers metro, next to the China Millennium Monument. Beijing Metro Line One is to walk along the Chang'an Avenue in the ground. Jun Bo tickets are not expensive, it seems, 5 RMB, first hosting package to go.
Jun Bo in front of the square, parked some retired aircraft, artillery and ships. Of these, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, who sat the "head of jet," a British-made Trident plane, used to be China's "Air Force 1".
Jun Bo is a big building, a little Russian architectural styles, do not know if the fifties built. Building to display a variety of obsolete weapons, large aircraft, artillery, tanks, rocket models, used in small spy pen pistol. The ancient sword from the sword, to the modern missile systems, everything. There are a variety of weapons made the world, including Japanese-made machine guns and the war of aggression against China when the word "38 Great cover." However, we do not see Zhenbao Island battle tanks seized by the Soviet Union did not know it because the present and the Russian friendly and have been received up or else placed in the exhibition. There are a number of museum exhibitions, such as certain sculpture exhibition, the Korean War, the exhibition, the Chinese war, exhibitions, etc., can only be a cursory visit to the morning only.
Jun Bo opposite a convenience store, McDonald's and Tiffany's. A pig in convenience stores did not find his "favorite" - Salted duck egg. If you have the opportunity to eat McDonald's, this kind of "junk food", I was most happy, so we went to Tiffany's point of beef with rice and beverages. Tiffany here is obviously to adapt to local tastes in order to be modified before, our beef with rice still tastes too much weight, but more come in and look at a pancake. We are here to drink and so on Laoyao, because we have to go with the afternoon Zhongguancun and Beijing University.
Jun Bo before the bus ride from the T6 to Zhongguancun. On the IT industry, people, Zhongguancun's name is so familiar to me, and known as China's "Silicon Valley", but we still the first time. In fact, only one street Zhongguancun, Beijing University and Tsinghua University were around, and then there is the only distribution center for wholesale computer hardware and software, and now near the addition of a number of new office space, some IT companies based here. We came to the one called "Dragon" in the computer mall, the results just arrived did not take long because of work has been driven out, saying it was 51 to 3:30 leave work early. Really feel disappointed, it seems Beijingers business sense, or worse point.
From the Pacific Computer City to Peking University to go through Feiyu Internet Cafe Street. Here was a very prosperous and the whole street are cafes, but now moved to Peking University resources, upstairs, leaving only empty feeling. Peking University is the most famous Weiming Lake, surrounded by mountains and towers, mountain is a small mound, tower water tower. There are a Marble Boat of the Shiji is not removed, remain in the lake, is said to be corrupt, and large-kun at reduced. In the mountains and rivers, flora learn in an environment, especially considering the Peking University students are fortunate. Scenery is good, but the air was filled with the dust and the catkins are still people find it very boring. At this time, the weather suddenly turns bad, it started to rain, so our door at Beijing University when the camera had to use the camera so as not to get wet umbrella cover. Said to be rain, mud point of fact, playing on the roadside on the car one by one left the mud patch, it is ugly. We hid in the opposite KFC.
From the Kentucky out of the rain had stopped, to Tsinghua too far, and we decided to go Haidian Book City. Beijing is too big on the map of Beijing University and Haidian Book City, the map is only a little distance, but we have gone more than 20 minutes. Haidian Book City, is somewhat disappointing, the book is not too much, especially the less computer-related books, and the discount is not large, at most ten percent discount, not as good as Suzhou, cultural market there are discount for each purchase of a computer bookstore.
Today, we have to bed early, because tomorrow to catch the 7:00 shuttle bus Qu Qu Ming Tombs and the Great Wall.
Since the fourth day before yesterday Junbo see Tour 2 (Support) 7:00 green car ads to the Great Wall, so we get up early ready to go Jun Bo. Laoyao yesterday, we squeezed into the room one night for the unity of action is to be here today. Down the subway, make Lao Yao Jun Bo car to the Great Wall may be less, or go to Beijing Railway Station is comparatively safer, so we take the subway line for Link to the Beijing Railway Station, the result will not find the car to the Great Wall. Another subway ride to the loop line for Jun Bo, it was already 7
Point moment, and only one train has already run away. If today can not go to the Great Wall, it will upset our plans.
We are edgy inquiries to the line of people there is no other way to go to the Great Wall. Fortunately, unlike the Shanghai Peking Man like everyone else, is always a cold face, but also very warm and very patiently guiding us. A pair of kind of the elderly themselves, this argument seriously for a while before the results tell us that we can see the lovely Beijingers.
Finally we take the MTR to Fuxingmen, and so on to the Great Wall and Ming Tombs on the advent of 5 (branch) green cars. Tickets are
50 RMB, to the Great Wall and Ming Tombs, packet back and forth, about a day's time. Nice car, Xiamen Golden Dragon produced large,
Air-conditioned. The driver was a young Beijinger, slightly a little bit fatter, people are very talkative and also introduced the sights along the way, satisfactory service. On the Badaling Expressway, the driver was told that serious traffic congestion near the Badaling Great Wall, so the views of passengers first go to the Ming Tombs sourcing. Thirteen Ming Tombs Ming Dynasty tombs, they are not very concentrated, has not yet been fully developed. We only go to Changling and Dingling.
Changlingji tickets are not cheap, to 30 RMB, but which is not too much. This is one of the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Di's mausoleum, we note that each hall surrounded by a white-marble sculpture is the leading drain. Basilica of the middle of the body placed a statue of Zhu Di, while a number of cultural relics around the display for visitors. In fact, each of the Ming Tombs have a tomb for every underground palace, but only Dingling one of the underground palace was developed. Dingling in from the relics unearthed have long been placed in Changling displayed. Today, we have seen some, such as the emperor's suit of armor, gold bullion and other cultural artifacts, which were excavated from the Dingling in,
Is quite well preserved. Hall a dozen pillars supporting the root, are more than two meters in diameter made of polished tree, straight upright, and now it is difficult to see such a Daoshi thick trees.
From changlingji to Dingling only a few minutes drive. To changlingji mainly to look at the underground palace, so although it is the implementation of sub-fare, but in any case have to spend 35 RMB per person Caixing. Fortunately, I speak out of turn asked about the conductor, understand With post-graduate certificate program could enjoy half-price concession is really a bit surprised. Here, I've ever longest row of the team. In order to check-in door, and we crowded into the turbulent flow in the row for half an hour. It also is not drastic. As the underground palace narrow passageways, can only accommodate three people walking side by side, we had to again wait in line for nearly an hour to go. Underground palace is very disappointing, only a few large coffin and Long Block, the other can not see, and the slip road next to all the tourists were forbidden to pass. Front of these was a large imitation coffin, I have no other thoughts, just want to hurry out. The results came in a half-hour team only had 10 minutes in exchange for the visit uninteresting, but when we arrived on a coach, it was already late for nearly half an hour. The driver is a very responsible, although there are more slower late yet to rejoin the past one and a half hours, he will try to wait a little while guests. The last few guests, or did not come, the driver was compelled to start, but also wrote a sign that requests the testimony of several passengers. Although we were delayed for a while, but felt that the driver is still Tingyou a human face.
Dingling delayed due to too much time, we do not stay in the Juyongguan, while the direct rushed to Badaling.
In fact, crossing Juyongguan Badaling Expressway, the driver slowed down, or speed, so that tourists could take a look at Juyongguan scenery. Juyongguan, and nothing special, and television to see similar, the mountain is not steep. Dao Shi surprise, next to the winding mountain road Zhangjiakou Railway, and the Badaling Expressway is exactly hillside. It so happened that a train heading towards, we experience the ancient civilization and modern civilization harmony and harmony. Down the highway, when approaching the foot of Badaling Great Wall, or encountered a big traffic jam. Was originally a time when 51 golden tourist season, Badaling parking capacity is not enough, will only make the car on the road was a long line of other vacancies. Fortunately, the soon to see the entrance of the car of visitors choose to walk to the Great Wall.
Tickets for the Great Wall is 45 RMB, plus a RMB insurance, tickets are magnetic cards. Again, I enjoyed a half-price concession Qiexi. The sky still early, we are hungry, and wanted something to eat earlier and then up the hill. Foot of the mountain the hotel business in particular "fire", selling only instant noodles and fast food. Something special expensive, are generally more than twice as elsewhere, 5 a bottle of mineral water, a common fast-food to more than 20 blocks, instant noodles have 7 RMB. The safe side, we had instant noodles will of.
"Less than the Great Wall of non-hero", this sentence also represents our feelings during that time, but also "less than the Great Wall on top of non-hero." Although there are cable cars, we still choose to climb. Lao Yao arrived in Beijing a year ago, access to services company run business, day in Beijing, the street flee to flee to, he learned a very good endurance. This guy is like when the monkey climbing the Great Wall as a flexible, and I soon put a pig throw off some distance. Mercy on us all day sitting in front of the computer Gong Zhaobei, physical no longer how much longer pot-pour out, and now tired, panting. Finally reached to the highest of the Beacon, we are also able to call myself a "hero" of. Looking across the ridge on the Great Wall stretches without a break can not help but think of it growing and becoming more everywhere,
War-torn era. This section of the Badaling Great Wall is relatively risk, not foreign enemies break, while the Juyongguan Great Wall is located in the valley due to historical Shanghao fall several times, culminating in the fall of the entire Beijing. "Ju past, a few heroes, but also look at the present." Now Great Wall and the river bottom, are the Chinese land, the Great Wall has also lost its role in defense against an enemy which is used to sightseeing.
Down the mountain after mountain after the post office, I sent a few letters covers, came to be regarded as proof of the Great Wall. Even here, there are Kentucky Fried Chicken did not expect, though very clean, but not many customers, the original mountain to eat the majority of tourists in the former of those more than 20 pieces of fast-food joint.
Back to tourism vehicle, been six. And when we finally return to hotels in the vicinity of that home "home patty" to eat dinner, have a 8:30.
On the fifth day and I am a pig to Jun Bo Metro buses to switch to the Tsinghua Simon T6. Arrival, the Lao Yao had been waiting a long time for. Three from the West Gate Duo Jin Tsinghua campus. Tsinghua school gate parked their research and development of electric vehicles can only be opened on campus, drivers attract customers. In our opinion, must walk more interesting. A time when 51 holiday, the students rarely, surrounded as we have become more visitors to come to Tsinghua University. Tsinghua and Peking University campus today has become a new scenic spot in Beijing,
But also in the Forbidden City and Great Wall, when crowded, there is still apparently so quiet, it is gratifying. We are due to time constraints, only the former St. Paul Park, Tsinghua University to take photographs in order to demonstrate that they have this one trip, had time to experience its rich academic atmosphere, but also along the same route back, by the way bought a medal in the souvenir shop and bookmarks . The morning of our true goal is to Yuanmingyuan.
Yuanmingyuan Yee Spring Garden not far from the Tsinghua University West Gate and walk to the end. Spent a total of three tickets for 50 yuan. Yuanmingyuan is interesting that Western floor area, a well-known method in which the floods, while other places does not matter for us. We went straight to the theme, all in want to see this former garden of the park remains. The burning of the human Sheng Ji, "the one the English, one is French." You rarely see foreign tourists inside the Summer Palace, Great Wall, Forbidden City and bustling with foreigners in stark contrast. Western House both as a Western-style buildings within the scenic area, huge columns, and Shiji's wreckage still seems to tell something. A lot of tourists around the flood France, happened to put a fake group of armed police also came to play, including five climbed on top of a large stone pillars, called "Langyashan Five Heroes."
Is also not far from the Yuanmingyuan Summer Palace, take the bus did not take long to go. Tickets are 30 RMB a person guard is very strict, half-price ticket to check student ID. On the landscape itself, the Summer Palace in Beijing of the most memorable places. Buddhist House, Kunming Lake and Lake of the Ye YE vessel, everything was the poetic. Chinese man-made garden Yishanbangshui stress, and these elements is the highlight of the Summer Palace is located. We certainly want to boating. There are three kinds of boats, electric boats, pedal boat and hand-rowing, of course, does not include the kind of ship can carry dozens of people, it is the ferry. Because we have been walking the past few days, have played a calloused feet, so the pedal boat is not taken into account since, electric boat that we too boring, so boating is the preferred hand. Thus, in order to find a place to rent hand-rowing, the three of us also completed a great pioneering work - on foot walked around the Summer Palace, and it is five days in a row to go halfway circumstances. Two and a half hours later, finally found the charter of the pier. Enter the park from where the original was less than 500 meters away, and we but never in the opposite direction around a full circle,
Finally came to understand diametrically opposite to truth.
Boating in the lake, scenic Needless to say, but not see the lake shore and the city center and the catkins are swirling in the YANG Hua, feeling the whole world clean, and light it is worth, we will stay on the lake in two hours. Start a pig and I rowing, Lao Yao sat bow, looked a bit like osprey. Three people sit on board and enjoy the beauty of the garden, but look forward to a night of heart roast duck. Boat to return to port, and Lao Yao also want to draw or two, but, can not act in harmony and flower farms, boat straight in the lake in the spin. The last two finally found a balance point for the boat backwards entering the terminal.
Of course, eating duck to the front door of the Quanjude. Because it is, diners shelf is certainly not small, diners can only be outside the main gate space. Because we pre-booked a seat, able to direct entry without having to queue. Their stores within a very elegant layout, still has the old Beijing style security. Waiters dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, foreman was in a gown. Because it is, diners prices can not be too cheap, or becomes, "or copies." A duck ¥ 168, other stores only sell 28 a pound, three ducks and two dishes plus one drink a total of 270 RMB. Waited a long time, and finally cook until the ducks came, personally You Liangliang,
In front of us a whole roast duck is only one cut down, quite authentic. Crunchy duck skin and duck meat dipped in sweet sauce and green onions together in volumes in the pizza before being placed in his mouth, a good feeling.
Tomorrow, a pig to go visit his relatives in Beijing, and I freely.
On the sixth day today, a pig going to visit relatives, I have freedom of movement. Morning, the sky was raining. But the trip to finally come to the capital, a day watching television in a hotel this not a waste? So I was looking to put an umbrella to go out.
The first stop to go to Panjiayuan, Metro bus will be inverted to. Pan Jia Yuan antique market in Beijing where cultural relics, said to be China's largest market in cultural relics. I am only interested in coins. The market is indeed large, a wide variety of antiques dazzling, but the coins are few. Perhaps there are other coins where there is a special trading area, unfortunately I do not Beijing and other local people in their natural wonder. Panjiayuan just have to bridge the door of the bus, just stroll can go to that area. However, to the bridge, where the periphery is the Temple of Heaven, and there is no interesting markets. Fortunately, the front door nearby street, the street can walk through the front door the front door riding. When approaching the front door, next to one called "
Da Zha Lan, "greets the street. Where the name seems to have heard, Beijing dialect pronounced" rotten stone. "In fact,
In this street there are many century-old store, such as the famous "Tong Ren Tang" drugstore, "Rui Fu Xiang" silk warehouse, as well as from Tianjin over the "dog and ignored" stuffed buns shop outlets, and so on. Rui Fu Xiang, especially construction, for the end of the Qing style,
Combination of Western and Chinese architectural features, it is worth stopping a look. At noon, I have a shop on the roadside to solve the luncheon.
At this point, storm is over, the air because of just been washed, looked particularly fresh, less dust in Beijing of past,
Once a good mood a lot. Direct access to the Lama Temple subway loop, I certainly would not miss. Heard that the Lama Temple is a temple, but not in Southeast Asia, Mahayana Buddhism or Theravada Buddhism, but to Mizong in Tibet,
Temple monks are not monks, but monks. For me, light it becomes a very strange, I can not wait to go take a look around the.
A subway, they smell the air filled with the smell of incense. Street hawkers hastened to the sight-seeing people selling the candles. Walk about 150 meters, I came to the main entrance of the Lama Temple. Tickets are 20 yuan, there is no half-price ticket.
Lama Temple is the residence of Emperor Yongzheng, Qianlong, was changed as a lamasery, please lamas are praying for the Qing Dynasty emperor. Temple building and other construction in Beijing no difference, only around a few more shops selling works of art in Tibet. Lama Temple formed by a number of halls, all worship the Buddha, but also hung beautifully, "Thangka." There is a hall called "Falun Dian," also happened to see the monks were doing their homework - to fight seat chanting. The innermost one hall dedicated to the Buddha, is unique in that Buddha is a whole root carved rosewood. The Buddha is about 18 meters, diameter of more than two meters, has entered the Guinness Book of World Records, is the world's tallest wooden Buddha. Good one, "sacred trees", of course, paying homage to the believers.
After visiting the Lama Temple, I returned to the residence and flower farms Laoyao join. Irrigation of the stomach these days we are all in Beijing dish, not too used to. So we went to the front door at night, where one of the "Shanghai Old Zheng Xing" restaurant change of appetite. However, this restaurant did not authentic Shanghai dishes, but in order to adapt to local tastes and "improved"
Off, and simply eat less, such as bad soybeans and bad chicken legs like the Shanghai dishes, and only a huge upstairs hanging bird's eye view of Pudong illustrate this store are doing Shanghai cuisine.
Today is the seventh day visit to Beijing last day. Because it is 18 o'clock train, so we still have time to go to the last "attraction" - Lao Yao's home, the way he did not take away those gifts to him to the house. Said to be home, they are actually in Beijing and others rented house. His company, Zhichun, so he was the Asian Games Village near the Jian Xiangqiao rented a room, even have 1100 a month, Beijing's housing prices really expensive too far off the mark. Let's take the subway line for Link to Xizhimen, then pulls the two buses to get to the last fight where he lived, it is not easy. On the road due to traffic congestion, spent a total of more than three hours. Think this time from Suzhou to Shanghai to play a round-trip they like.
Coming down from the cab, followed by Lao Yao seven Shui 8 bend to find his house. If I come next time alone once again, it is absolutely impossible to find. The house is very ordinary, simple furniture, old sofas, old tables, old televisions, old refrigerator, a room arrayed two beds, is the Lao Yao's "nest" of. Flower pig Laoyao Midao his house was dreaming of "favorites" - Salted duck egg. We sat down on the sofa, chatting with the advent of the past few days process, chatting software, hardware, chatting access services, systems integration, chatting market, relationships, real estate, finally talked to their future. Friends sitting together when the chatterbox when it is very difficult to open and then closed. By dinner time, invited us to taste Laoyao meal dumplings in Beijing. Taste in general, but the dumplings one getting bigger, I could not even 32 could not eat.
From Laoyao home out of the train station to go. Our luggage was thoroughly "burden reduction", so now than when you come to Beijing are much lighter. It spent nearly two hours, we arrived in Beijing Railway Station. Waited for an hour, we bid farewell with the Lao Yao on the train. The window is still YANG Hua-fluttering; station platform, still parked car to give as gifts. Our windows side there is a pair of lovers are immersed hugged. To leave the car there is a quarter of an hour when the fish was finally on the train, and her boyfriend to give her.
Soon as the whistle, the train slowly out of the Beijing Railway Station, traveling the land in northern China. At a time when our thoughts are like the trains, are gradually drifting towards those south of the town.
