#Mainland Travel If Beijing is a stable city, then the Forbidden City is its heart, with hundreds of years of glory and loneliness beating in its pulse. The moment I stepped into the Meridian Gate, I felt like I had entered a living palace. Although there were many people👥, the towering palace walls and red maple tiles🧱 made me slow down my pace naturally🚶♂️, as if I had become a traveler in time. Every brick and every tile seems to be whispering a story. It is not the kind of "visit" that is pushed by sightseeing, but a real feeling that "history happened here". My favorite part is the road in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony✨. That sense of emptiness makes people feel awe🙏. Imagine the emperor holding grand ceremonies there, with all the ministers paying homage, golden lights glittering, solemn voices... This scene flashed through my mind and gave me goosebumps ❄️. And those deep corners, such as the Imperial Garden 🌸 and the Treasure House 💎, made me realize that the Forbidden City is not just a symbol of power, it also has a gentle side. There are flowers, water, birdsong, as well as the queen's leisure and the eunuchs' daily life. The objects displayed in the exhibition halls are sometimes breathtakingly gorgeous, while others are simple yet exquisite, as if they were secretly telling me: "Beauty flows quietly in life." After the whole trip🎒, I think the most important thing is not to take a few beautiful photos and check in📸, but to immerse myself in that aura🌀 and feel the heavy but not oppressive historical atmosphere. If you are willing to calm down and walk through the Forbidden City, you can read the loneliness and magnificence of the imperial city from the cracks on the wall and the patterns on the stone without reading too much explanation. This is a journey of dialogue with history🗺️, not in a hurry, not for anyone, just for myself to walk into the depths of those years and gently feel that they are still breathing.

#discoverchina The Palace Museum is one of the must-see attractions when visiting Beijing. The architectural style of the Forbidden City is elegant and grand, with the typical layout of ancient Chinese palaces centered on the "front court and back chambers," reflecting the authority and dignity of the ancient Chinese emperors. Many tourists visit to witness and experience the charm of the Forbidden City firsthand. Inside the palace, there are numerous precious cultural relics, artworks, and historical remains that showcase the artistic, cultural, and technological achievements of ancient China, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of its history.

I recently traveled to Haidian District, Beijing for work and stayed at the Atour X Hotel Beijing Haidian Sijiqing. I'd like to share my honest experience with you. 📍Location and Transportation: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The hotel is located in the heart of Sijiqing Road in Haidian District, near Zhongguancun Industrial Park, which is very convenient for business travelers. It is surrounded by shopping malls, with the Golden Seasons Shopping Center and the Golden Resources Shopping Mall not far away, making it super convenient for shopping and dining. In terms of transportation, although it is a bit far from the subway station, there are many bus lines at the entrance. It takes about 20 minutes by taxi to Beijing West Railway Station, and all major attractions are within a half-hour drive. 🏠Room Amenities: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I stayed in a Kijimu King Room, which was about 25 square meters, just the right size. The interior decoration is a simple, log cabin style, which looks very cozy. The 65-inch LCD TV is great, and you can enjoy watching dramas at night. The bedding is from the Plante series, which is soft and comfortable, and you can also choose pillows according to your preferences, so a good night's sleep is no problem. The bathroom has a separate shower and toilet, and a full set of Sahe essential oil toiletries, which are of high quality. However, the smart curtains in the room are sometimes not very sensitive, so I hope they can be improved. 💁‍♀️Service Quality: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 From the moment I checked in at the front desk, the staff was enthusiastic and helpful, and they also thoughtfully introduced me to fun places nearby. During my stay, any needs were quickly responded to. Once I wanted to borrow a sewing kit, and it was delivered within minutes of calling. The hotel also has free late-night porridge, which is nice to have after a tiring day of sightseeing. 🍱Dining Experience: 🌟🌟🌟 Breakfast is served in the hotel's Xiangzhao Restaurant, which offers a wide variety of Chinese hot dishes and buns, as well as Western breads and milk, and freshly made noodles and rice noodles. I especially recommend the meat sauce rice noodles, which taste great. There are also many restaurants nearby, and you can find all kinds of specialty restaurants within a few steps to satisfy different tastes. 💰Value for Money: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The room rate is reasonable for this location, about CNY 300–500 per person, including breakfast and all kinds of thoughtful services, as well as free parking, a gym, and a laundry room, which is quite cost-effective. Overall, the Atour X Hotel Beijing Haidian Sijiqing was a great experience, with attentive service and good facilities. I would consider checking in here again next time I'm in the area.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 I was a little surprised that after eating hotpot 🍲, time passed so quickly that I missed the last subway back to the hotel! At this time, I quickly took out my mobile phone, opened the shared bicycle APP, and decided to ride a bicycle back to the hotel. Although this was an unexpected episode, it can also be regarded as a "special experience" in Beijing. Riding a bicycle on the brightly lit streets at night, I felt very free. The wind whistled past my ears, as if the night of this city was also racing with me. Even though I was a little tired, I was still in a good mood. Every little episode has become a unique memory of this trip to Beijing. The bustle of Wangfujing, Apple's futuristic technology, and the bicycle ride that night, all these little things made me fall in love with the diversity of this city even more.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The day's itinerary was quite fulfilling. From the Old Summer Palace to the Summer Palace, the journey was both tiring and fulfilling. In the evening, I can finally relax a little and choose to stroll around the China World Trade Center to empty my mind. 🍃 Walking into the China World Trade Center, the lights are flashing and people are coming and going in the mall. Although I feel a little tired, the bustle and modernity here bring me a sense of freshness. Walking between the stores of major brands, I found myself no longer in a hurry to leave. Instead, I just walked slowly with the crowd and let myself feel the rhythm of the city. 🌆 Coming to a small ice cream shop, I decided to get myself a bowl of shaved ice. That bowl of shaved ice was really refreshing and thirst-quenching. The ice cubes were shaved to the perfect size, with a light texture, and paired with a variety of fresh fruits. All the fatigue seemed to disappear the moment it took a bite. After taking a bite, you can feel the coolness of summer, and your mood will improve a lot. 🍧 Afterwards, I returned to the hotel to take a short break. Then I ordered a cup of milk tea and wanted to relax a little more. Not long after, a little robot appeared! That's right, a small delivery robot slid gently into my room and delivered the milk tea to me accurately. I was amazed at such technological development and couldn't help laughing. I felt that this little robot seemed to have brought me a little surprise at this tiring moment and made me feel much more relaxed. 🤖 Although I was physically and mentally exhausted that day, I felt Beijing's unique modern atmosphere through the night at China World Trade Center, the coolness of shaved ice and the surprise of the little robot. I also regained my energy and was ready for tomorrow's exploration. 🌙

Today is my last day in Beijing, and my feelings are mixed. I am excited to once again experience the beauty of this city, but also a bit reluctant to leave. This morning, I decided to revisit some of the places I had hurriedly passed by before, especially the Forbidden City. Last time, I had to rush back to the hotel to get my power bank after discovering my phone was out of battery at the Temple of Heaven, which made me miss the chance to fully explore the Forbidden City. Today, I finally have the opportunity to visit it again. As I entered the Forbidden City, I could feel its majestic yet serene atmosphere. This thousand-year-old imperial palace still stands here, witnessing countless historical changes. Every time I walk through these splendid halls, I feel as if I have traveled back to that dynasty, imagining the daily lives of emperors and officials here. Every carving, every door and window, every corridor in the Forbidden City is filled with a sense of history. After touring the Forbidden City, I decided to take a walk in the nearby Jingshan Park. This is one of the best spots to overlook the entire city of Beijing. Standing at the top of Jingshan, the whole cityscape of Beijing unfolds before your eyes. Whether it's the bustling streets or the vast horizon, it all inspires awe. Especially when you stand at the top of the hill and see the endless city stretching out, your mood becomes more tranquil. I took a deep breath, feeling as if everything was right in front of me, with the past, present, and future of this city all blending into this view. Looking back, although I had hurriedly skipped the Forbidden City before, today's visit gave me a deeper experience. Every corner, every piece of history, every glance back is a new realization. The impression this city has left on me is not just its magnificent sights, but also its profound cultural heritage. Today, I finally made up for the regret of the past and gained a more comprehensive understanding of Beijing's charm.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 After a profound experience in the Forbidden City in the morning, I came to the Temple of Heaven in Beijing in the afternoon, an ancient place with a thousand-year history. The Temple of Heaven is huge in scale, and when you walk in it you feel like you are in a holy place connected to the sky. The circular altar is surrounded by the huge blue sky, and the atmosphere is peaceful and solemn. The amazing circular platform for offering sacrifices to heaven and the admirable Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests are truly touching. However, to my frustration, I discovered that my phone suddenly ran out of battery. At this moment, the beautiful scenery of the Temple of Heaven seemed to have interrupted my concentration due to the reminder from my mobile phone. Although I still want to continue wandering in this ancient sacrificial site, I know that I have to go back and find a power bank, otherwise the rest of the journey may become a "silent" journey. I turned hurriedly and walked across the wide lawn back to the hotel. On the way, the scenery of the Temple of Heaven is still imprinted in my mind. Those red walls and blue tiles look like a beautiful painting, swaying gently in the distance. After rushing back to the hotel, I finally found a power bank. After a short rest, I decided to continue exploring the city and look forward to the next destination. Although my stay at the Temple of Heaven was a bit rushed this time, this regret has become a part of my memory. I think that next time I come here, I will be in a different state of mind, and perhaps I will be able to appreciate this place where history and nature are intertwined more calmly.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 From the historical vicissitudes of the Old Summer Palace to the Summer Palace in the afternoon, I felt as if I had walked into another world. The scenery and tranquility here really added more artistic conception to my journey. 🍃 The Summer Palace: A harmonious blend of nature and humanity As you step through the gate of the Summer Palace, you will see the vast lake in front of you. The lake water is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and the mountains in the distance. Unlike the dilapidated and decrepit Old Summer Palace, the Summer Palace here is more like a quiet paradise, peaceful and elegant. Walking along the corridor, the details of the wood carvings and the exquisite paintings on the roof made me stop and take a closer look. Every landscape is picturesque, as if time has stopped here. 🎨 Walking along Kunming Lake, you can see the world-famous Tower of Buddhist Incense from afar. Standing by the lake and looking up, it stands tall and majestic. The Seventeen-Arch Bridge next to the Tower of Buddhist Incense is also one of the symbols of the Summer Palace. Each stone bridge has its own history and story. The water ripples under the bridge, boats gently pass by, and ripples appear on the lake surface. It seems as if you are traveling through time and space, feeling the tranquility and luxury of the royal life in the Qing Dynasty. 🏯 Savor the tranquility of the Summer Palace In addition to the beautiful scenery, the tranquility of the Summer Palace also gave me a rare sense of relaxation. There were not too many tourists, the air was fresh, and the occasional sound of birds singing made me completely immersed in this beautiful scenery that combines nature and humanity. This is a perfect blend of history and nature. Every step seems to carry a strong cultural atmosphere, which makes people feel respectful. Walking into Suzhou Street, I couldn't help but marvel at the ingenious design of this water market. The ancient shops and stone bridges set off each other. It was as if I had returned to that time and experienced the leisurely life of ancient times. Despite the constant stream of tourists around, the atmosphere here is still peaceful, as if isolated from the world. The ending feeling As I strolled along the lakeside of the Summer Palace, I couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of peace and satisfaction. Everything here is picturesque, as if telling me that in this bustling city, there is still a piece of pure land where I can forget my worries and find inner peace. Every step I took and every view I saw made me deeply feel the profound heritage of this ancient garden. This afternoon, I seemed to become one with the Summer Palace, enjoying this unique tranquility and beauty. 🌿

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 On the first day of arriving in Beijing, excitement and anticipation were intertwined in my heart. Stepping into this historic land, the journey begins with delicious food, followed by an encounter with a modern shopping mall. Quanjude Roast Duck: The first experience of authentic Beijing flavor As soon as I arrived in Beijing, I decided in my heart that I wanted to try Beijing’s most representative delicacy - roast duck. The Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant in Qianmen is an ideal choice. When you walk into the restaurant, the old shop exudes a strong traditional atmosphere. Every waiter was dressed in classical costume, as if time had slowed down in this ancient city. After sitting down, almost everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on the roast duck in front of them. The golden duck skin is grilled over charcoal, with crispy skin, tender meat and just the right amount of fat. With just one bite, the tenderness of the duck meat and the slightly charred skin, paired with the sweet noodle sauce and chopped green onions, instantly made my tongue feel satisfied. Every bite is a tribute to traditional craftsmanship, as if you are not only enjoying delicious food, but also savoring the culture and history of Beijing. Beijing Tianjie Shopping Mall: The prosperity and comfort of urban shopping After a sumptuous roast duck, our next stop was Beijing Tianjie Shopping Mall. This is a modern shopping mall that combines shopping, dining and entertainment. As soon as I walked into the mall, the dazzling array of goods and modern designs made me immediately feel the vitality and fashion of this city. Whether it is a world-class luxury brand or a popular fashion design, you can find it here. Just strolling around and relaxing, I couldn't help but feel the modernization and prosperity of Beijing. The mall is bustling with people, but it doesn't seem crowded. Every corner is filled with the atmosphere of high-end brands and fashion trends. Whether trying out some new fashion items or chatting with friends about life in a cafe, it is a relaxing experience. The city's pace is fast and orderly, as if telling me that Beijing is a place where the ancient and the modern are intertwined. On this day, I experienced both tradition and modernity of Beijing, tasted delicious food and went shopping, and felt the many faces of this city. The first day’s journey was both a nourishment of delicious food and a relaxation of the soul, as if it had started an unforgettable trip to Beijing.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 🔴🪷🧧📜 When people talk about the Forbidden City, they always say that it has more than 9,000 rooms, magnificent palaces, and a huge central axis... But in fact, what really makes me unforgettable is not those magnificent buildings, but the aesthetic spirit hidden in the details and the royal family's restrained aesthetics. If you slow down, you will find that this is not a cold "palace" at all, but an entire exquisite art museum. Every door, every window, every bracket, every glazed tile, and even the texture and symmetry of the floor tiles are a presentation of "ultimate aesthetics." Between the Palace of Heavenly Purity and the Jiaotai Hall, the light and shadow of the corridor are projected on the red wall. You will feel that this is not just the light of history, but more like a picture where time has stopped. When the weather is good, the glazed tiles will shimmer, a low-key golden color that is not dazzling but extremely beautiful. But when you actually enter the inner court and see the Queen’s bedroom and the Emperor’s study, you will be moved by a kind of “lonely exquisiteness”. These rooms are not big, even simple, but they are full of a sense of spiritual order. Whether it is the poems on the screen, the placement of the incense burner, or the four treasures of the study placed on the desk, they all reveal that royal life is actually full of rituals and restraint. This is not a bustling tourist destination, but a journey of spiritual and aesthetic cultivation. **If you are willing to calm down, not take pictures, not talk, but just walk on the stone path of the Imperial Garden and watch the shadow of Taihe Gate slowly move, you will feel an aura called "grandness", which is not a show of power, but the richness of culture. Finally, don’t miss the Treasure House and the Clock House. The rare treasures collected by the Qing Dynasty nobles not only display their wealth, but also show the ultimate respect for the world’s craftsmanship - from enamelware to automatic clocks, each piece is like a worship of the "ultimate craftsmanship".

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Walking into the Temple of Heaven is like opening a door to another side of time and space in Beijing. This place is not only an ancient royal place for worshipping the gods, but also more like a secret forest gently wrapped by time. Large tracts of ancient cypress trees stand quietly, and each tree seems to have witnessed thousands of years of prayers and wind and rain. The air is filled with a quiet and heavy atmosphere. You can move freely between the blue bricks and gray tiles, and occasionally encounter old men practicing Tai Chi, grandfathers practicing singing softly, and tourists walking slowly under the corridor. They are not in a hurry because time seems to pass very slowly in the Temple of Heaven. The alternating distribution of circular and square architectural structures represents the ancient philosophy that the sky is round and the earth is square. Looking up at the blue-tiled and glazed Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the light of the sky and the shadows of the clouds are reflected on the glazed tiles, like a dream. Standing on the Echo Wall and listening carefully to the transmission of sound, you will suddenly realize that the architecture here is not only solemn, but also hides the wisdom and awe of the ancients. The Temple of Heaven is not only a photo-taking spot, but also a spiritual journey. Whether you are a newcomer or revisiting an old place, it can always quietly embrace your complicated thoughts and allow you to make room for a peaceful corner in your heart.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 When you enter this large international airport in China, the first thing that catches your eye is the magnificent modern architecture and well-organized facilities: automatic boarding, fast security check, and multilingual guidance, which immediately make you feel shocked by the efficiency and scale. However, what is truly unforgettable is an unexpected surprise hidden in the international departure level - the "China Garden". Amid the busy noise of flights and the bustling of passengers, this quiet garden is like a rolled-up landscape painting, quietly unfolding at the doorstep of the world. The winding corridors, rockery and stone stacks, small bridges and flowing water, every blade of grass and tree, every brick and tile, all carry the strong oriental aesthetics and millennium culture. Whether you are a tourist about to go on a long journey or a traveler who has just landed, you can stop for a while in this green space, drink a cup of tea, take a photo, or just sit quietly and feel your heartbeat slow down. This place is not just a place to take photos and check in, but more like a gentle cross-cultural transition, bringing China's elegance and tranquility to every pair of eyes from all over the world. This airport is not only a transportation hub, but also an exquisite cultural show. From the moment you step in, you have begun a journey of blending Chinese and Western cultures.
