Dreaming of exploring Beijing’s imperial past? 🚀 This trip had me wandering through the Palace Museum, uncovering antique clocks, and soaking up serene vibes at The Round City. The contrast of golden Buddha statues against deep red walls absolutely wowed me — and don’t sleep on the museum’s Western-style exhibition halls! Top Spots to Visit in Beijing: 1. The Palace Museum (No. 4, Jingshanqian Street, Dongcheng District): Open Tuesday-Sunday, 8:30 AM–5:00 PM (Apr-Oct), 8:30 AM–4:30 PM (Nov-Mar). Entry: 60 CNY. Art lovers, don’t miss the intricate sculptures here — the stone Buddha and accompanying figures are photo gold with dramatic red and gold temple backgrounds. 2. Hall of Clocks and Watches: Inside the Palace Museum, open similar hours (verify before visiting as times change seasonally). Step into dazzling exhibition halls, blending classic Chinese and Western architectural styles. My tip: Go early, as crowds build up fast and snapping close-up shots is easier before noon. 3. The Round City (Jingshan Qianjie): Open daily, 6:00 AM–9:00 PM. This tranquil escape is ideal for a post-museum unwind. You’ll find less crowds here and a calming garden vibe — perfect for recharging between sights! Insider tips: - Book entry tickets online via WeChat to skip the lines (seriously, the queues get wild). - Water bottles allowed, but toss liquids before security checks. - Transport hack: Metro Line 1 gets you really close — hop off at Tian’anmen East station. - For snacks, local vendors outside the museum sell tasty jianbing (savory crepes). - Carve out at least half a day for the Palace Museum — there’s more to see than you think! #hellochristmas #ForbiddenCity #travel #BeijingCulture #ForbiddenCity #TravelTips #ChineseArchitecture
