Introduction Beijing Siheyuan Tour

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Visiting a Siheyuan in Beijing is a cultural exploration through time and space, taking people into the depths of history of this ancient capital and feeling the unique charm and profound cultural heritage of traditional Chinese dwellings. The architectural style and decorative details of the Siheyuan embody the essence of traditional Chinese culture. From the gate to the hanging flower gate, from the windows to the eaves, every place is exquisitely carved with beams and painted with paintings. Auspicious patterns such as bats, longevity characters, and vases imply happiness and longevity, and peace in all seasons, showing the yearning and pursuit of the old Beijingers for a better life. In Beijing, there are many well-known Siheyuans to visit, such as Prince Gong's Mansion, Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall, Qi Baishi's Former Residence, etc. These Siheyuans are not only well-preserved, but also incorporate rich historical and cultural connotations, becoming an important window for tourists to understand Beijing's history and experience traditional culture.

Gui Jie (Ghost Street)

Many restaurants are open 24 hrs, but the street is at its most lively in the evenings. This mile-long food street features more than 150 restaurants and has been serving up late night noms since the Qing Dynasty. With its iconic red lanterns, it’s difficult to miss and provides a lively night market experience that won’t break the bank. The restaurants here serve specialties from all over China, with some of the most popular being crayfish, bullfrog, hotpot, and chuan chuan (spicy skewers in soup). Our tour guide bought us here. He said this is the place where locals comes for eats and drinks after dark, thus the name. The spicy small lobsters are very good. Remember to ask for the mild spice level. It is already extremely spicy for almost everybody in my opinion. The lobsters are to be ordered in quantities of 10. #beijingtrip #urbanexplorer #cityoverlook

Is Shichahai really worth visiting?

Is Shichahai really worth visiting?

✨Efficient and not tiring tour of Shichahai (it's best to come around just before noon) Start from the small alley next to the south gate of the Lotus Flower Market, where you can first encounter 'Sanhe Daoxiang Village'. There are several Daoxiang Village shops here, and you can choose to buy specialties as needed Following the path, you can see 'Nanmen Shuanrou'! Remember to get a number first because you can only get a number offline and the waiting time starts from at least an hour and a half After getting the number, continue along the path, cross the small bridge to the opposite bank to find 'Sugar House Coffee'. Here you can enjoy the air conditioning, have a cup of coffee, and enjoy the moment of tranquility. After a short rest, you can go and eat authentic old Beijing instant-boiled mutton. Additionally, the Lotus Flower Market has many interesting cultural and creative shops and photo shoot spots. After eating, it's also great to stroll around the lively market. Wait until the evening sunset to return to Shichahai, find the Yinding Bridge to watch the sunset, and wait for the sea of orange, it's really beautiful! 🎙Introduction: Shichahai is a historical and cultural tourism scenic area and a historical and cultural preservation area in Beijing.

Beijing's latest Marriott!

Beijing's latest Marriott!

The new Marriott hotel has only advantages except for its remote location Renaissance Beijing Zhongguancun East Sheng Science Park Hotel The design, service, and cost-performance ratio are very good, and they offer room upgrades The theme is based on horse elements (rocking chairs, bar stools, lamps, decorative paintings), with many details resembling a knight from international chess on a Chinese chessboard~ The yellow bathtub is slightly larger than a standard one and just looking at it makes you happy~ Half a Lush bubble bath bar is enough~ Pulling up the partition, both sides are glass mirrors (satisfying the little vanity of girls who love to look at themselves in the mirror) Breakfast from 6-10, not too crowded on holidays~ Compared to other older Marriotts in Beijing, it's more suitable for staying in The T fitness center still smells a bit of renovation, but it's not noticeable in the rooms

A newly opened specialty mini-park is located next to the art gallery intersection

Address, Northwest corner of the intersection at China Art Museum Road, Dongcheng District, Beijing Due to the construction of the subway, this area has been closed for about 7 or 8 years. It is now reopened and renovated, becoming a specialty mini-park. Originally, this place was also a street-side park, but now it is even more artistic, given its proximity to the art gallery. The mini-park has just been refurbished, and at night there are colorful lights, making it even better.

Beijing | Hualijiahe Hotel.

Beijing | Hualijiahe Hotel.

| Hualijiahe Hotel. Beijing | Hualijiahe Hotel Before returning to Tokyo, I went to Beijing and Changchun alone. To be honest, I really chose this hotel blindly, because I was in a hurry in Beijing, and I wanted to go shopping in the new field the next day, so I blindly chose a hotel that I could walk to. It was raining that day, and it was late when I checked in, and I just thought I had to go back to the hotel to sleep. After checking in, I found that the environment was unexpectedly good. I asked the staff to know that although it was completed two years ago, it was recently successfully put into use. The room is very clean and tidy, the whole house is smart, curtains, air conditioning and so on are very convenient to use, what you need to directly call the hotel staff, the response is also very timely. But long-haired sisters pay attention, bring your own conditioner! There is only shampoo and bath in the hotel.
