It is said that a snow in the Forbidden City will amaze the city of Beijing. People in the south who have not been to the capital in ten years long to go north to take pictures of the snow in the Forbidden City and stroll around the old alleys.

2020 New Year's Day

The first night in Beijing, the food tastes delicious, I feel great!

Walk leisurely into a beautiful artistic conception of clear, bright and refreshing.

On the second day in Beijing, the food tasted delicious and my gums were swollen and painful.
On the third day in Beijing, I ate delicious food and had a dull sore throat.

On the 4th day in Beijing, the food tasted bad, sore throat stuffy nose and runny nose .

On the 5th day in Beijing , I took medicine and it smelled good , I had a cold and runny nose.

On the 6th day in Beijing , my throat no longer hurts. I am eating the medicine and taking medicine at the same time.

I came back to Guangzhou for a month and took medicine for a month...

I guess this is the result of acute pharyngitis, damp heat, and wind and cold when southerners go to the capital and are acclimated to the climate.

During the peak period of New Year's Day, choose a place with fewer people, such as the Confucius Temple and the Imperial College, these two attractions are connected together.

Guozijian, the highest academic institution from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, also known as "Tai Xue".

The central building of the Imperial College is "Piyong" (Pi means Bi) surrounded by pools shaped like a Bi ring . It was built during the Qianlong period and was used as a lecture place for the emperor.

The Imperial College is located opposite the Yonghe Temple. Come in the morning, there are few people and it is quiet (because people are flocking to the Yonghe Temple ).

What attracts me here are these ancient trees . The trunks and textures have a sense of history and security ☺.

After visiting the Imperial College, you can go to the nearby Wudaoying Hutong. This area is famous for its old alleys. In the afternoon, we will go to Yonghegong Temple, the highest-level Buddhist temple in the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi built it for his fourth son, Emperor Yongzheng. Ran Goose, Blessed LandQianlong, Qianlong was born here again.

Therefore, the Lama Temple is very Baguan, yellow tiles and red walls, and has the same style as the Forbidden City Palace.

The incense is in full swing, there are many tourists , and you have to queue for security check.

[Yue Travel Notes] Let’s go to the capital to see the snow!

This time the hotel was chosen on the Shichahai Sea, a geomantic treasure in Beijing, which is also near Prince Gong’s Mansion. In the morning, you can breathe spiritual energy in Shichahai.

Erha on the shore of Shicha Sea is full of enthusiasm and has matching eyes.

Prince Gong's Mansion The surrounding alleys also have many stories. You can choose a rickshaw driver to "pull" you around and tell you stories, or you can scan a QR code and "drive" a rickshaw to explore on your own.

The Beijing uncle plays cards and makes fun of birds on the streets.

Siheyuan is and once you enter the courtyard , it costs 20 yuan/person (a rip-off price). Visitors to the courtyard will briefly read how the courtyard embodies the traditional Chinese hierarchy of superiority and inferiority and the Five Elements theory. The young master lives in the east chamber, the young lady lives in the west chamber, and the elder lives in Beikan. In the south living room, the southeast Xun position of the five elements belongs to the windy entrance and exit as the main door , with an independent screen wall to protect privacy.

Snow

After waiting for several days, there was no snow falling in the Forbidden City, but on the last night of the trip, I was looking forward to the first snow of 2020. Excited and hurried, I rushed to see "Deyun Club" against the strong windsnow. After 2 hours, the snow was getting thicker and thicker, and I found that everything on the street was "disguised" It has become something else.

After the first snowfall one night, before the snow melts, go to the alleyto walk in the snow. Compared with the graceful Palace Snow Scenery, the Hutong Snow Scenery has a more life-like atmosphere.

The aunt shopping for groceries passed by the small park and stopped to enjoy the snow.

The snow-covered courtyard has eaves and ridges

The white snow is falling, there are thousands of alleys, each with its own charm . I can only use my lens and my imagination to experience the life of old Beijing courtyards.

After getting up, the car looked cute.

The kids in the south look envious of the baby in the small park in the alley.

If there are no stone lions, just put a "tiger" to guard the house?

The "good times" did not last long, and the sub-district office was too powerful. As early as early in the morning, each action group used various methods to clear the snow. In less than 3 hours, the snow was almost melted/cleared.

There are 181 royal cats in the Forbidden City. They are the real owners of the Forbidden City, because these cats have lived in the Forbidden City for generations and this is their home . Nowthese cats are all registered one by one, and there are dedicated personnel to nurse and feed them regularly.

In Jane A treasure house Rat Hole There are two A royal cat, Only One is called "Ruyi" and the other is called "Jixiang". We "subjects" can only watch and wait for the emperor to come (outsiders are not allowed to feed them).

I tried the popsicles that are popular in the palace, and this is the only color left, but I don’t like the chocolate flavor.

Panjiayuan Secondhand Market is the largest secondhand market in China. People from 24 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, involving more than a dozen ethnic groups such as Han and Hui, have set up stalls here. (Also known as "Ghost Market")

I think there are more treasures here than in museums. The most important thing is that you can afford it and you can also take pictures secretly.

Antiques and cultural relics, jewelry and jade, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, ancient coins and silver, ancient books, calligraphy and painting, the four treasures of the study, poetry and poetry, bottlesbottles and jars, clay pots and poppies, rosewood chairs, porcelain and woodwareWeapons......There are so many weapons that you can't help but feel angry.

Opium smokers and three-inch golden lotus shoes can be found here.

I spent several hours shopping here with a runny nose but I didn’t finish it...

There are so many things, it's time to rely on your eyes to find some interesting treasures Things like this upside-down frog.

In particular, I would like to introduce the new Internet celebrity attractions. Go to the Black Dragon Pond Scenic Area to see the Ice Falls Wonders . It is about 100km away from downtown Beijing and takes 1.5 hours by car. Chartering a car back and forth costs 300+yuan. It's open until 5 o'clock, but you won't be allowed in at 3 p.m., and it gets dark after 4 o'clock, so you have to leave early .

Navigate to the parking lot of Beijing Heilongtan Natural Scenic Area

Tongtian Waterfall

The largest waterfall is located in the innermost part of the scenic spot.

The toilets in the scenic area are closed in winter, so remember to use the toilet in the parking lot first. Remember to wear the thickest clothes and put on a thermal pack. The temperature in the scenic area is lower than that in the city. It was about -13 degrees when I went there.

Layers of ice sprayed from water pipes

In order to make money even in the off-season, the scenic spot is built on the mountain Set up various water pipes. Spray water to make ice. Artificial icefalls, artificial icicles, artificial tree hangings, and various fake "tears" and "owls" for decoration. Although they are fake, but The actual scene still looks really spectacular.

Southerners don’t have the chance to see snow, and they can’t wait for the snow in the capital. You can come here to experience the Frozen/Wonderful Scenery. It is recommended that everyone wear bright clothes and take beautiful photos!
