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

Stey-Wangfujing

Stey-Wangfujing Is Beautiful modern design of the room! Has a small kitchen in the room, a fridge with free water and tea. Smart home system is something that was very nice to try out too! Comfy bed, fantastic smell of expensive perfume as soon as you enter the room, good toiletries (if you don’t have a toothbrush, you should tell the staff, they will eagerly provide it but originally you are required to bring your own). Excellent location, right next to the metro station - Dengshikou, literally 5 min walk. The staff is super friendly and helpful! Although it took us quite some time (an hour or more) to register and provide all the green codes since we were traveling still at a “vulnerable” time of covid. The common area is beyond any expectations. Free coffee (amazing one!!) and tea and soda and the space is exceptionally cozy and modern. They have a huge common kitchen with a fridge, an oven (and what not) so you can easily make yourself a yummy breakfast (or even dinner) there. We absolutely loved our stay!! #uniquehotel #templeblessed #eventcelebration #art #easylife #bestislandtraveltowns#themepark#nationalpark#lakes

Yanqi resort 🏡

💁🏼‍♀️ If you are tired of crazy fast life of Beijing this place is a perfect choice. 📍 风车广场,Huairou district, Beijing city. 💰 I am not not sure about the price since I didn’t book. 🏃‍♀️ It also has a big field, you can take a walk or run or play. I saw children playing football. 🎢 No attractions nearby, no shops, very few restaurants. But it’s close to Yanqi river. You won’t be feeling bored but I think 2-3 days are enough. A well planned weekend is enough. 📸 @_ana_mee_ on Instagram #beijingtrip #huairou #chinalife #yanqi #summervacation

Wonderful, relaxing stay!

My partner and I stayed at the Hotel Éclat for his birthday. The staff were absolutely amazing and the hotel itself was wonderful. We had a really relaxing stay and enjoyed being on our own private terrace both nights. The hotel was lovely and quiet and the gym facilities were good too. Everything about our stay was perfect and we will definitely be recommending it to friends and family. We will certainly be visiting again soon. As a birthday gift to my wife, I booked the newly designed Swiss Chalet, based on a few photos I had seen posted online. As a family, we had already experienced some of the suites that have private pools on the terraces - but this one looked extremely cosy and the package included a traditional Swiss cheese fondue. The suite had a great layout, and the hotel was kind enough to add an extra bed. The kids went absolutely nuts about having the pool on the terrace all to themselves, and loved all the details (i.e. skis hanging on the wooden walls, the big cow on the terrace and the authentic 30+ Swiss cowbells!). Due to the smart materials and construction techniques used in this unique building, the terrace is inside though it's actually outside - and this is where the "transcending seasons" element came to life: my wife was sitting on the terrace, bathing in comfortable sunshine at a balmy 23C, in FEBRUARY in Beijing. Incredible! Apart from the room itself, the pre-emptive though never "over the top" service and empathy of the hotel staff was remarkable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and I think our son has started a guerrilla persuasion campaign to convince his parents that we need to book the (amazing) Star Wars suite next time see you love you #themepark#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Beijing’s White Pagoda

really stunning architecture found in Central Beijing. Easy to miss if you’re not looking for it but after a stroll in the Goethals, I found this gem. The park where the actual temple is located was closed due to Covid, but could be open again. #beijing

Imperial Ancestral Temple 1. Historical Background and Location The Imperial Ancestral Temple in Beijing was first built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, nearly 500 years ago. It is located on Fuchengmen Inner Street in Xicheng District. Along with the Imperial Ancestral Temple (Taimiao) and the Confucian Temple, it is considered one of the three major imperial temples of Ming and Qing Beijing. 2. Enshrined Emperors The Imperial Ancestral Temple enshrines 188 emperors from ancient China, ranging from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the Ming Dynasty. These emperors were all considered to have made significant contributions to society. Over the centuries, China has seen four to five hundred emperors, and the selection criteria for enshrinement have changed several times, reflecting the different historical perspectives, views on ethnicity, and ruling philosophies of the Ming and Qing emperors. 3. Architectural Features The main structures of the Imperial Ancestral Temple are largely preserved from the Ming Dynasty. The main hall, the Jingde Chongsheng Hall, is nine bays wide and five bays deep, covered with yellow glazed tiles and decorated with golden dragons and xie-style painting, representing the highest level of ancient architecture. In addition, the temple features a 32-meter-long red screen wall, a dismounting stele, and other ancient structures, all imbued with a rich historical and cultural heritage. 4. Sacrificial Activities From the eleventh year of the Jiajing reign in the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, a span of 380 years, a total of 662 sacrificial ceremonies were held in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, demonstrating the importance the imperial court placed on this site. 5. Transportation The Imperial Ancestral Temple is located near the Baitasi East Station in Xicheng District, Beijing. It is easily accessible by various public transportation options, including Subway Line 2, and bus routes 3, 103, 42, and many others. The Imperial Ancestral Temple, with its rich history and cultural significance, is well worth a visit. 6. Recommended Reasons to Visit Beijing's winter jasmine is already in bloom, and magnolias are soon to follow. With February orchids, cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, crabapple blossoms, pear blossoms, tulips, and more, Beijing will soon be transformed into a sea of flowers, making it the most beautiful time of year to visit. Beijing boasts a large number of famous ancient buildings, including many temples. For those who appreciate ancient architecture, mid-spring is an ideal time to visit Beijing to enjoy the flowers and explore the historical sites.
