Beijing itinerary:

In Beijing, there are many travel companies and travel agencies. I have been to Beijing many times, and I prefer to be a backpacker. Self-guided tours can save some money, arrange your own time and enjoy sightseeing in the scenic spots, and avoid being led by tour guides and being forced to shop, which can also cause unnecessary troubles and disputes after shopping. Why bother? After all, isn’t traveling just to have fun and relax?

First of all, Beijing is the capital of our country and an ancient civilized city with a long culture. The biggest feature of Beijing is its inherent atmosphere. I have been to 21 provincial capital cities in China. Compared with other cities, Beijing deserves to be the capital of the king.

If this is your first time visiting Beijing, we recommend:

Morning itinerary: Forbidden City

Beijing’s Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City. Located in the center of Beijing, it was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was built by Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, based on the Nanjing Palace, and it took 14 years (AD 1407-1420) to recruit skilled craftsmen and millions of servants from all over the country. . It is rectangular in plan, 961 meters long from north to south and 753 meters wide from east to west, covering an area of ??more than 720,000 square meters.

It is surrounded by a city wall with a circumference of 3,428 meters. The city wall is 7.9 meters high, 8.62 meters wide at the bottom, and 6.66 meters wide at the top. The upper part is built with a pheasant on the outside and a wall on the inside. There is a turret with exquisite structure at each corner of the city wall. There is a moat 52 meters wide and 3800 meters long outside the city, forming a complete defense system. The palace city has four gates, the Meridian Gate in the south, which is the main entrance of the Forbidden City, the Shenwu Gate (Xuanwu Gate) in the north, the Donghua Gate in the east, and the Xihua Gate in the west.

In the 491 years from 1420 to 1911 AD, from Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, to Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, 24 emperors (14 in the Ming Dynasty and 10 in the Qing Dynasty) lived here successively. Within this palace, feudal rule was implemented over the entire country. There are more than 9,000 palaces of various types in the palace, all of which are wooden structures, with yellow glazed tile roofs, blue and white stone bases and decorated with magnificent paintings. The total building area reaches 150,000 square meters. The Forbidden City consists of two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The three main halls of the Outer Dynasty, namely Etaihe Hall (Jinluan Hall), Zhonghe Hall and Baohe Hall, are at the center, with Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall as the two wings in the east and west. They are the places where the emperor handles political affairs and holds major celebrations. The inner court is centered on Qianqing Palace (the emperor's bedroom), Jiaotai Palace, and Kunning Palace (the emperor's new wedding room). On the east and west wings are the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace (the Imperial Palace), supplemented by the Yangxin Hall, Fengxian Hall, Zhai Palace, Yuqing Palace, Ningshou Palace, Cining Palace and Imperial Garden are the places where the emperor handles government affairs on weekdays and where the emperor, empress, empress dowager, concubines, princes and princesses live, worship Buddha, study and play. The overall layout is symmetrical about the central axis. The three front palaces and the three back palaces are located on the central axis of the city. It is majestic and luxurious. It is the largest and most complete ancient building complex in my country. It is also unique, magnificent and magnificent in the world. Buildings with Chinese classical style and oriental style and the largest palace in the world. The 1911 Revolution of 1911 overthrew the Manchu rule and ended the feudal dynasty for more than 2,000 years. However, the deposed emperor Boyi still lived in the back half of the Forbidden City. In 1912, Waichao was opened as an "Antiquities Exhibition Hall". On November 5, 1924, Feng Yuxiang's general Lu Zhonglin expelled Boyi from the palace. The Palace Museum was established on October 10, 1925. In 1948, the Antiquities Exhibition Hall was merged into the Palace Museum. After 1949, the government carried out large-scale renovations on this ancient building and cultural relics, and organized and exhibited a large number of cultural relics, making it a world-famous museum of ancient culture and art. The First Archives Office was established in Xihua Gate, specializing in organizing government and palace archives.

In 1961, the State Council of the People's Republic of China promulgated the Forbidden City as a national key cultural relics protection unit. In 1987, the Forbidden City was officially included in the World Heritage List as a cultural heritage by UNESCO.

Afternoon itinerary: Badaling Great Wall

As the saying goes, if you don’t visit the Great Wall, you are not a true man! Badaling Great Wall

A section of the Great Wall of China. It is located in the southwest of Yanqing County, Beijing. Badaling is located at the north entrance of Juyongguangou. The terrain is high and dangerous, and it has an important strategic position. The Badaling Great Wall is extremely strong. There are two gates in the city gate. The east gate is inscribed "Juyongwai Town" and the west gate is inscribed "North Gate Lock Key". It was built in the 18th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1505) and was repaired during the Jiajing and Wanli years. Both gates are made of masonry, with a platform on top of the cave. There are passages to the north and south of the platform, connecting the city wall of Guancheng. The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Highway passes through the city gate and is the throat to Beijing. From the left and right sides of the North Gate Lock and Key Tower, the Great Wall extends along the ridge and is built against the mountain. The city walls vary in height, with an average height of about 7.5 meters, a width of about 6.5 meters at the bottom and a width of about 5.8 meters at the top. It can accommodate five horses riding abreast, or ten soldiers riding abreast. The lower part of the city wall is a stone platform, the upper part is a huge brick wall shell, and the interior is filled with loess and gravel. The top of the wall is paved with square bricks on the ground. The inner side of the top is a space wall and the outer side is a stacked wall. There are crenels (lookouts) and shooting holes on the stacked walls for watching and shooting at enemies.

Every 30 to 40 meters or 100 to 200 meters on the city wall, a fortress-like platform was built at a strategic location. The fort was built on the high point of the ridge, at the corner of the city wall or in a dangerous place. There are high and low forts. The tall ones are called watch towers. The upper floors have crenels for viewing and shooting, and the lower floors have holes and shooting ports for lodging, shooting, and storing gunpowder and grain.

The lower one is the wall platform, which is about the same height as the city wall, but protrudes outside the wall and is surrounded by crenels. It is a place for patrols and sentries. Originally there were houses and buildings on it for soldiers to rest, but now only the foundations remain.

Looking out from the Badaling City Wall, there are scattered smoke piers in the distance, with crenels built on them, which are warning facilities to guard the Badaling Great Wall. Not far from the north gate, there is a brick city built in the fifth year of Longqing's reign in the Ming Dynasty (1571). It is called Chadaocheng and is the headquarters of the Badaling outpost. It can garrison more than 800 troops and store a large amount of ordnance here. The Badaling Great Wall was very prosperous in the Ming Dynasty, but after the Qing Dynasty it lost its historical role in defense and was no longer repaired. After years of wind, rain erosion and man-made destruction, it has become increasingly desolate. After 1949, the Badaling Guancheng, Guanmen and four enemy towers in the north and south were renovated many times. In 1978, the city tower in Juyongguanwai Town was rebuilt. Badaling is located in Yongguan, with overlapping green ridges and luxuriant flowers and trees. It has long been known as Juyong Pass. It is one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing in ancient times and is a famous tourist attraction at home and abroad.
