    Longxing Temple in Zhengding is a treasure trove of ancient charm and craftsmanship spanning a thousand years. The unique cross-shaped Mani Hall is a must-see, with its intricately layered brackets creating a breathtaking structure. The plaque inscribed by Emperor Kangxi exudes grandeur, and the ancient inscriptions on the steles radiate historical depth. From its initial construction in the Sui Dynasty to its reconstruction in the Song Dynasty, every brick and tile bears the marks of time. Even Mr. Liang Sicheng praised it, saying that a visit is like opening a vibrant book of ancient architecture.

    If you can't make a reservation at the National Museum of Natural History, you can buy a special exhibition ticket to enter without a reservation. The exhibition hall is very large, and it takes about 5-6 hours to see everything. Kids love it and can learn a lot of knowledge with them!

    [Qianmen Street: A Journey Through 600 Years of Beijing's Vibrant Life] "The wind at Qianmen blows through history, leaving behind only the vibrant life of the city." This is Beijing's most vivid testament. 🚩 Echoes of History in the Morning Light As the first rays of sunlight fall on the Zhengyang Bridge archway, the ruts on the bluestone pavement gleam. This was once the starting point of the central axis of the Ming and Qing imperial city, and it still retains the majestic grandeur of the "Nine-Foot Tower of Qianmen." Standing beneath the Five-Archway Gate, one can almost hear the dialogue between camel caravans and the Western-style clock tower across time. 🍜 A Century of Culinary Delight • Take a bite of the shumai with Emperor Qianlong's calligraphy at "Du Yichu," watching the master chef use chopsticks to lift the thin skin with its eighteen pleats. • Pass through the neon signs of "Dashilan," where the aroma of Wu Yutai's jasmine tea collides with Zhang Yiyuan's old Beijing popsicles. • Turning into "Xianyu Kou" (Fresh Fish Mouth), the aroma of sesame sauce at Baodu Feng and the fried liver at Tianxingju are voted by gourmets with their footsteps. Du Yichu Shaomai: A "Shaomai Restaurant" bestowed by Emperor Qianlong, the shaomai with three-delicacy filling has paper-thin wrappers, even more delicious when dipped in aged vinegar. Tianxingju Fried Liver: Garlic-flavored fried liver from a century-old shop, served with a bowl of fried dough rings for an authentic experience. Fengnian Guanchang: Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside fried sausage, drizzled with garlic sauce, a taste of childhood for old Beijingers. Mending Roubing (Meat Pie): Palm-sized meat pies burst with juice when bitten, the beef filling mixed with scallion aroma, perfect with millet porridge. Chen Ji Luzhu (Braised Pork Offal): Large intestines and lungs stewed until tender, the baked buns soaked in the broth, even more satisfying with cilantro and chili oil. Yin San Douzhi (Soybean Juice): Daring to try douzhi with fried dough rings is a true taste of Beijing, a tangy and sweet "old Beijing coffee". 🎭 The Secrets of Beijing Cuisine in the Hutongs • Wandering through the gray-walled alleyways of the "Eight Great Hutongs," the stone lions on the doorsteps still tell tales of the Peking Opera world. • In the artsy cafes of "Yangmeizhu Xiejie," flip through an old book, watching flocks of pigeons flit past a Republican-era bookstore outside the window. • At dusk, "Sanlihe Park" reflects the charm of a Jiangnan water town, with the lingering sounds of Beijing-style drum singing echoing from the reeds. 🌃 A Neon Poem in the Night As the lanterns of Quanjude light up, the tram passes by the neon-lit Republican-era post office. Before the glass windows of Qianmen Street, see the "Late Qing Dynasty Street Scene of Dashilan" recreated using AR technology; the interplay of light and shadow between ancient and modern times creates a picturesque scene. 📸 Recommended Photo Spots 📍 Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower: The best spot to frame a photo with the words "Beijing" in the background. 📍 Pageone Bookstore: The magical composition of the arrow tower and traffic flow framed by the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor. 📍 Beijing Fang: A collision of time and space between Starbucks Reserve and Quanyechang.

    This was our first time bringing our child to the Forbidden City in Beijing, and we specifically enrolled in the "Jing Zhuangyuan" study tour. Our guide was Mr. Li Zhuang, whose explanations were lively and engaging, completely immersing our child. The experience was fantastic; the teacher was patient and meticulous, effectively motivating the children, and even gave us a small prize at the end. Our child was so happy that he immediately finished building it himself back at the hotel.

    Wangfujing Department Store, the prices are just for reference! You need to check in at the pedestrian street, just take the subway line 1 and get off at Wangfujing Station. If you can take the subway in Beijing, try to take the subway to save money and avoid traffic jams.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Best Panoramic View of the Forbidden CityJingshan Park was a wonderful and refreshing place to visit in Beijing. The highlight is definitely the view from the top of the hill, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Forbidden City and the city skyline beyond — one of the best viewpoints in Beijing.The park itself is peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained, making it a great place to take a relaxing walk. The gardens, pavilions, and tree-lined paths are lovely, and it was nice to see locals enjoying the space, singing, exercising, and relaxing.This is an excellent spot for photos, especially on a clear day or near sunset. Highly recommended as a perfect complement to a visit to the Forbidden City.
