Went to Beijing is my dream, read too many articles written in Beijing, watched too much the Forbidden City, Great Wall pictures, let me admire the great motherland in the heart of hearts, to Beijing's sense of ambiguity and beautiful. Went to Beijing last week, travel, stay in 5 days, my mind began a little bit of Beijing to clear, full, become flesh and blood.
Bank Beijing: Beijing's roads are very wide, feeling very imposing, but the traffic is crowded. In Beijing, there is no low-peak period, even if it is 2 pm to go out, the car open like a snail's crawl.
A lot of bus lines, extending in all directions is very convenient, but I do not see the automatic coin-operated vehicles are manual ticket. Is very slow, especially in urban areas.
Taxis There are several, starting fee is 10 yuan basically three kilometers, according to the different models are not the same unit price per kilometer. Taxi appearance and internal facilities, is not very tidy, giving the impression was chaotic.
Beijing's subway has not keep up with the needs of urban development, first the line to set unreasonable, and does not alleviate the traffic on the ground; followed by outdated facilities, no air conditioning, the cars are not connected, a feeling into the car into a nausea cans, roof upload a few big fans, flapping啦to stir the muddy carriage air.
A lot of underground passage, but not connected. Through the front door to Tiananmen Square, just a short distance before the need actually three authentic!
Living in Beijing:
Hotels in Beijing urban construction fees to be received, and we live in that home is 12 yuan per day, though not a lot of money, but he was not good, do not understand why the tourists have to pay construction costs, and we float money, meal tickets money is not already in support of Beijing's tourist industry it?
However, Beijing's hotels, hotels, or very large, and various grades are, you can choose according to their actual situation. We stay at the Inn at the front door of the founding of a branch, go online before the scheduled C-trip. Ordinary double the target price is projected at 188 yuan / day, cost is still relatively high. Very good geographical location, away from the front door close, let me enjoy the delicious food great to know the front door of the old and famous hotels, but many. Went to Tiananmen Square about 20 minutes. Many bus lines, where all came easy. The room is small, but very new and very clean and tidy. Simple decor a crisp, full use of every inch of space. Service attitude is not bad. Drawback is that water is to use an electric water heater the supply, every time only one person taking a bath, the other person have to wait more than half an hour and then wash. If it is self-service tour to Beijing, then store the founding of the tavern is a good choice. Oh, did not say, and feel like advertising, that was free呀!
Eat in Beijing:
For my taste for people who come to Beijing, but this time had enough of the addiction! Hotels in Beijing is still very fair price (in addition to Quanjude, but also received 10% service charge), the key is the amount of special foot. Came, the food is a big tub, full to the brim, feeling that it is!
Beijing's hotels are many, the most common is the Northeastern Chinese cuisine and Xinjiang cuisine, of course, there are authentic Beijing style dishes. I have this due to time constraints, to basically be honored. The general feeling that something really good to eat, but the service is too times, to say the least, the waiter hanging face a frosty one is in the field of the tourists want them to tell us about the dishes in a tone full of impatience.
To Beijing, duck, of course to try something, I think even though the Quanjude prices, the service attitude is not good, but the duck is really different. That is directed at the entrance of the duck skin, flexible foam of the bread, or will people think a worthwhile trip.
Quan Ju De Roast Duck to do is hang furnace, Beijing roast duck was also selling an old and famous "cheap Corner", sells roast duck simmered stove, until meatballs are cooked, the price is relatively cheap, well worth a visit.
The front door on the street "are a" siu mai, You-noodle bars, "clyster steamed stuffed bun," and they let me get enough. Temple of Heaven East Gate of the "Old Beijing Noodle King squeezed," Zhuang waiters are invariably young man, cries come and go, the old Beijing's taste special enough. In addition to feeling stressed Jing Qiang Jing squeezed sauce noodles taste very good.
I am in the "triadic" eat dairy products store where the cheese, the taste must be called one. Highlights the almonds and bayberry, and the summer to eat, refreshing. I ate a total of three times, still feel not eaten enough, and unfortunately now only in Shanghai, drool in!
Play in Beijing:
Beijing famous attractions is too many, the Forbidden City, Great Wall, Summer Palace, Lama Temple and so on, there will not 11 go into details. I prefer the Temple of Heaven and Liulichang.
Temple area is very large, the entire layout with hemispherical dome of Italy, and great momentum, blue glazed tile is also very characteristic. In addition to the palace there are large areas of lawn and trees, mostly pine and cypress trees, very spectacular.
We are the morning to go, in addition to tourists, there are many residents living near the inside early exercise. Many people use a special brush dipped in clean water on the stone floor practicing calligraphy, mostly the elderly, there are children, the words written in very bad; the woods, amateur choir singing in the flute to the accompaniment of popular songs; woods deep 3322 people are playing there are practicing Tai Chi ... ... sound, Liuniao, and the original one sacrifice for the emperor's palace is now the people who's paradise.
Liulichang there is actually a street, as antiques do not know, I am mostly visiting the bookstore. More well-known bookstore Chinese bookstores, antiquarian bookshops, as well as professionals to buy ink, paper and ink of the Rong Bao Zhai.
Are many kinds of books, calligraphy and painting up a large part of the historical documents, there are many versions elsewhere is invisible. Bookstores are antique building, the lobby quiet deep, no matter how long you can see, it will not be interrupted.
In addition to these attractions, I felt that I should stay one day, put aside travel guides and maps, leisurely walk through in Beijing, big and small, in a wide variety of alley.
What impressed me most was Prince Gong's Mansion to which the alley in which both sides are weeping willows, the whole alley are submerged in the green smoke. Stir in the walk in, next to the ancient gray walls, sparse old wooden doors. Again in front of a shop selling Chinese knots, so they can chat with three of the elderly ... ... regardless of the outside world quickly change the time on this alley seems to be stationary.
Some alleys seemingly not look like much, but go look inside the more content the more abundant. Hotels, restaurants, a shop selling arts and crafts next to a lot of century-old shop is also located in the alley, is magnificently decorated, antique buildings, pitched black lacquer plaque symbolizes the glory and the vicissitudes of life. I have seen a very chic two-story, stone built, quintana patterns carved flowers and animals, but the first floor lobby is a grocery store, because there is no well-care, covered with dust, some dark and the Mixed in a low run-down shops in the middle, as if lonely beauty.
Alley which extend in all directions, slipped a lot, very busy alley Just by passing through a small fork in the road, things become quiet again, and then forward section displayed in front of you is a wide road, six lanes, vehicle steady stream of .
In the evening, some alley is another scene, bustling night markets, so you enjoy the fun of bargaining; enjoy the cool air of the old man lying on a bamboo chair, waving palm-leaf fan, and a look cozy; the kids are screaming tits, like Loach like to wear to wear to go ... ...
Many teahouse in Beijing is located in the front door of the Lao She Tea House, West Street, Beijing City's full, time, then can go to feel. Simple and elegant teahouse decor, waiters are 20 girls from top to bottom, red cheongsam rolling black bars, black cloth shoes. Afternoon sessions, tickets are 10 yuan, in addition to enjoying a cup of Gaiwan Cha, but also appreciate the faithful vote to amuse large segment large segment of the opera singing, each end of their stores where a burst of applause. Unfortunately, I know very little about opera can only be good enough just to drum applaud.
At 6 pm on the fifth day, we boarded the train back to Shanghai to Beijing, looking at the window of the scenery, an indescribable feeling in the heart filled the air, Beijing is not as I imagine to perfect, but better than I imagined to cute. Such an ancient city, old and new impact and collision, and perhaps this is where the charm of her bar!
