Because I had made an appointment to pay my respects, visit and tour the surrounding areas, I chose this hotel which is close to the square, memorial hall, National Museum, Military Museum and city tower. When we arrived, we saw that it was the hotel of the General Administration of Police. To the east were the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the garrison area, and the Legation Quarter in Dongjiaomin Lane; to the south were the Supreme People's Court, the Advisory Office, and the Bei'an Bureau; to the west were the National Museum and the square; to the north were the General Administration of Police and the new unit of the anti-gang group leader. Most of the hotel guests are "uncles". There is a sentry at the door and people have to check their cards when entering and leaving. The atmosphere is a bit depressing. It's a long way from the sentry post to the hotel, which is a bit inconvenient. I regret not choosing to stay at the Capital Hotel or the Beijing Hotel on Chang'an Avenue earlier. The prices are similar on non-holidays.
It is really convenient to stay and travel around the square. The hotel gate faces the east wall of the National Museum. The photo with a red flag posted by someone in the comment area is the National Museum (borrowed the photo and posted it in the first photo). You can see the east side of the Memorial Hall beyond the wall. Those with a police card can even walk through the General Administration compound and go out through the main gate to queue up to visit the National Museum (the entrance to the National Museum is attached to the gate of the General Administration). I spent a day and a half visiting the Military Museum, Wangfujing, Dashilan, the Memorial Hall, the National Museum, and the City Tower. Due to the appointment time, I was able to return to the hotel to wait during the tour instead of being exposed to the wind on the streets.
There is a restaurant in the High Courtyard at the entrance. It is said to have been open for a long time. The owner is a very energetic young man. It is the only restaurant on this street and also the only ordinary restaurant in the Tiananmen area. There are private rooms on the second and third floors where you can have a few drinks.
