It seems that my summer vacation is inseparable from Beijing. I went to practice in 2017, learn software in 2016, and learn hand-painting in 2015... In the past few years, I have gone there to study without exception. And they all went alone. This year is different. I went to play with my best friend, but in her words - she had a shooting assignment.

My best friend majored in directing at the Academy of Fine Arts. What she usually does most is watch movies, edit videos and take photos. She leads a poetic and picturesque life, so this trip is particularly literary and fresh.

We only planned for two days, so when we made the guide, we screened out the places that must be crowded with people, such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City and Nanluogu Lane.

Then proceed directly to the itinerary.

Day 1: 798 Art District - Broadway - Sanlitun - Guijie

1.1: 798 Art District

798 is the first place we went to this time , it is not a niche attraction, but it is highly recommended to visit. The things inside are very beautiful and there are no crowds.

In addition, the most famous exhibition area in 798 Park is the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art. It is a paid exhibition hall with a ticket of 10 yuan. It is open for free every Thursday and is closed on Mondays. There are often exciting and novel exhibitions. , be sure to go and find out.

1.2: Broadway Cinema Center (Wanguocheng Branch) and Kubrick Bookstore

It was already the afternoon after shopping at 798, and we were a little tired, so we took a taxi to Broadway to watch it. movie. The reason why I chose the Wanguocheng store is partly because of its good looks, and partly because of the nearby Kubrick Bookstore (well, it’s still because of its good looks).

Some films that have been released and classic films will be screened here. We went to watch the Cantonese version of "Journey to the West". At that time, Zhu Yin and Karen Mok were really beautiful.

1.3: Sanlitun

I went to Sanlitun purely because I fantasized about meeting my idol there... (ok, I was dreaming), but Sanlitun is the night symbol of Beijing after all. , and in recent years, because of Page One and Bookworm Bookstore, it has become more and more literary and artistic, so it doesn’t hurt to go there.

1.4: Guijie

Guijie is a restaurant street in Beijing. It only becomes popular after 10 o'clock every night, so it was once called a "ghost street". ". Ninety percent of the shops here are in the catering industry. There are more than 130 shops in the street that is more than one kilometer long. Restaurants are lined up in rows with red lights hanging high. Many restaurants are open 24 hours a day. It is quiet elsewhere at night, but the lights are on here.

There are many embassies near Guijie Street, and foreigners also like to come here to eat, ranging from the old Beijing-style braised stew, fried belly, etc., to crayfish, gluttonous frogs, Chongqing grilled fish, etc. The most popular restaurants on Guijie Street are at the east and west ends.

It was already late after the night market, but luckily there was a night bus.

The next day: Fangjia Hutong - Wudaoying - Lama Temple - Jingzhaoyin - Confucius Temple and Imperial College - Parkview Green

In fact, the route for the second day is very convenient. , the attractions are close together, so you can go to any attraction first. We just arranged it this way to get stuck on Jing Zhaoyin’s afternoon tea snacks.

2.1: Fangjia Hutong

Fangjia Hutong is known as "Mini 798". It is one of the oldest hutongs in Beijing and an emerging cultural and creative district. It retains the Xunjun Prince's Mansion and the Fangjia Hutong Primary School where Mr. Lao She was the former principal, as well as international-style restaurants and studios.

The "Trainspotting Movie Restaurant" here often shows literary and artistic films; the "Hot Cat Club" is a music bar with a rock and reggae theme; and "Emon Town" serves authentic Yunnan cuisine. "Phoenix Claw Chuangqi" is very popular; there is also the "Red Leaf Shinan" cafe, which mixes Chinese and Western styles, etc.

2.2: Wudaoying Hutong

Compared with Fangjia Hutong, this place is smaller and fresher, with various creative shops gathered here, and many shop owners here have opened their doors It’s also in the afternoon, so it’s best to visit in the afternoon.

2.3: Yonghe Palace, Jingzhao Yin, Confucius Temple and Imperial College

Because we were going to Jingzhao Yin, and Yonghe Palace and Confucius Temple and Imperial College were close to each other, we went together.

I would like to highlight Jing Zhaoyin’s afternoon tea set, which is delicious.

The first layer is filled with various cakes and mousses, the second layer is filled with slightly refreshing desserts, and the bottom layer is Jing Zhaoyin’s most popular Chinese desserts, each of which is made It is extremely exquisite, and the fruits selected are all the freshest.

The time for afternoon tea is from 14:00 to 17:00, and there is music playing in the middle, which is very atmospheric.

2.4: Parkview Green

Parkview Green is a new landmark in Beijing that gathers top shopping, offices, hotels and modern art. It is also known as the most artistic luxury. The mall is worth a visit. In addition, there are many delicious food on the ground floor of the mall.

I went back to the hotel in the evening and lay down directly.

Let’s talk about accommodation.

The hotel this time is the Chaoyangmen Mercure Hotel (formerly Beijing Ritan International Hotel) booked on the official website of Huazhu Hotels.

It is located in the most international international trade mall in Beijing. Circle

, the center of Jianwai Business Circle and Chaowai Business Circle.

It is very close to Sanlitun and Parkview Green on our itinerary.

The Mercure is a mid-range hotel under the French AccorHotels Group. The French flavor is also well reflected in some small details, such as the faint smell of perfume in the air, the flowers placed in the room, and the walls. The artist's works hanging on the side are both elegant and romantic, which is very popular with my picky bestie.

The hotel is newly renovated, so there is no need to worry about facilities and the like. The hotel rooms are very clean.

Also, breakfast was given as a gift when booking the room. We slept through it on the second day and only caught up with breakfast on the first day. The breakfast is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, exquisite French and Chinese meals, and the taste is great!

In this way, another trip to Beijing has ended perfectly. I am looking forward to the travel video cut by my best friend.
