#TravelChina Cafe lovers, don't miss out! % Arabica Baita Si New Store branch is a place to recharge that we were really impressed with because it's not far from our accommodation. Just walk and relax and you'll get there. The atmosphere of the shop is sooo good! It's a clean minimalist style that % Arabica is good at. But what's special about this branch is... you can see the white pagoda in full view. Sip coffee and admire the pagoda. The feeling is so good. Plus, this place is pet-friendly. Anyone who brings their dog or cat can come and sit and play with them. The day we went, we saw both dogs and cats sleeping next to the table. It was so cute that we wanted to sip coffee and pet their heads at the same time. Coffee lovers must order the signature menus like Kyoto Latte or Espresso, House Blend beans that taste as good as the name % Arabica. This is another favorite corner in Beijing. You can come and chill in the morning, afternoon, or even in the afternoon... If you like coffee, if you like dogs, if you want a view of the pagoda — this place has it all! #Beijing #TravelBeijing

My son is learning about Lu Xun, so I took him to the Beijing Lu Xun Museum to learn more about him! After the trip, I found this route to be a treasure trove of fun for both adults and children. Lu Xun Museum—White Pagoda Temple—Beijing Temple of Ancient Monarchs—China Geological Museum—Red Building Public Library—Zhengyang Bookstore—Xishiku Church—Xidan We departed from Tianjin South Railway Station and arrived at Beijing South Railway Station at 10:30. First stop: Lu Xun Museum Exit from Exit B of Fuchengmen Subway Station, and walk a few hundred meters along the hutong to the Lu Xun Museum. Lu Xun Bookstore—Life Exhibition Hall (you can get a commemorative ticket with your name on it with your ID card at the entrance) and a stamp next to it. Visit the exhibition hall, and there is a cultural and creative store outside. We bought three books and a pencil case and got a stamp! Then we visited Lu Xun's former residence and saw the tree he planted himself! After leaving the museum, we went to the White Pagoda Temple. We walked along the hutong and passed by some nice shops that were perfect for taking photos. We first went to the White Pagoda Temple Alley to take photos of the red wall and white pagoda that are popular with celebrities, and then went to Miaoying White Pagoda Temple | Health and Longevity, Disease and Karma Elimination, tickets are CNY 20/person. We passed by the Temple of Ancient Monarchs without entering it. When we arrived at the Geological Museum, we found that it was closed for construction. Next to it was Zhengyang Bookstore, where you can pet cats. Next to it were Sanyuan Meiyuan and Xinqiao Bakery, where you can buy food! Opposite was the Red Building Public Library! Then we went to Xishiku Church, which was a great place to take photos! That was the end of the day! We rode a bike for more than one kilometer to Xidan, ate food, and visited the Guzi store! We took the train back to Tianjin at 18:00.
