How people who love to sleep in can whimsically avoid the crowds in Beijing during the May Day holiday

On the day of the May Labor Day, the originally planned afternoon departure for a self-driving tour to Xiandu was discouraged by traffic jams. A search on 12306 showed that only Beijing had round-trip tickets available everywhere. So, I decisively changed to a spontaneous trip, and here I must praise Ctrip for helping cancel the accommodation in Xiandu😜 The following itinerary is suitable for a three-day trip to Beijing, especially for those who like to sleep in and enjoy a leisurely visit. Although it's not a special forces tour, the step count is still kept at twenty thousand steps per day to offset the various delicacies, such as milk rolls😍 I highly recommend the CITY walk route, which you can enjoy for a whole day. This route combines ancient and modern, domestic and foreign, art, fashion, and tradition. It avoids the crowded places, lively but not congested, and I'm sharing it with everyone😎 5.1 23:30 High-speed train arrives at Beijing South Railway Station, book a Ctrip car to the hotel 24:00 Stay at a hotel next to Huguosi, wash up and go to sleep 5.2 Daytime: Xicheng CITY WALK, strolling, eating, checking in, and taking photos: Sleep until 9 am at the hotel. Have breakfast at Huguosi Snacks, then go for a walk: Xishiku Church (highly recommended) - Wansong Laoren Pagoda - Geological Museum (time-consuming, optional, can also take a detour, visit last) - Guangji Temple - Imperial Ancestral Temple - Miaoying Temple White Pagoda - Lu Xun Museum (reservation required) - 17:00 In the evening, head to Wukesong, booked a 19:30 crosstalk show, have dinner first, if there's extra time, visit the Palace Cat Experience Hall, or check out other events and exhibitions. 22:00 Subway back to the hotel 5.3 Daytime 9:00 Depart for 798 Art Zone, spend most of the day there, take a taxi to Guanfu Museum (before 16:00) or Luo Hong Photography Art Museum (actually went to this one, highly recommended) Evening: Take a taxi to Panjiayuan Ghost Market, have dinner first, check out the second-hand antiques 22:00 Subway back to the hotel 5.4 Morning: Sleep until 8:30, check out, and store luggage at a hotel next to the South Railway Station Morning: Visit the Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum Afternoon: Book a 13:30 tour of the Temple of Heaven with a guide (Ctrip booked scholar guide, highly recommended) Evening: Have dinner first, then check in at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, 19:00 watch the opera 'Masked Ball' 22:30 Subway back to the hotel 5.5 6:00 Get up 7:30 High-speed train back to Shanghai 13:30 Arrive at Hongqiao High-speed Railway Station, go home to rest and prepare for work. This is a very perfect and not tiring journey. Various dining options are not listed, everyone can choose according to their own situation. Friends who are interested can give it a try.
