The backbone of the ancient capital and the atmosphere of the imperial garden : the echoes of the Temple of Heaven and Beihai over the years
When you hold a ticket as small as the annual ticket in your hand, it opens not only a one-year tourist pass, but also a long scroll of poems and paintings in the capital that records six hundred years.
The first thing worth recommending is the place called the Temple of Heaven Park. When you walk inside, you will see the kind of Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest that can travel across time and space. It has blue tiles and a golden roof. With the pines and cypresses covering each other, it looks even more solemn and sacred.
Every piece of white marble railing here has witnessed the piety of the emperor when he held the ceremony to worship the heaven. The Danbi Bridge that stretches continuously under the feet still seems to echo the sound of the honor guard walking during the ceremony to worship the heaven.
Change the direction and proceed to Beihai Park. In spring, next to the stone monument of Qiongdao Chunyin, tender willow trees gently caress the water. When it comes to late autumn, the reflection of the White Tower in Taiye Pool sets off against the ruined lotus leaves, forming an interesting picture.
Rowing on the lake, the melody of "Let's swing the oars" lingers in the ears in a natural way. This belongs to the collective memory of several generations, and it is also the most gentle smell of fireworks in the ancient garden.
Three Mountains and Five Gardens·Beauty of Plants and Trees : The Sound of Landscapes in the Summer Palace and Botanical Gardens
With an annual pass, you can escape into the landscape of this royal garden at any time.
In the Summer Palace with unique scenery, Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake together form a natural Tai Chi scroll, with a long corridor with many painted stories. The painted stories on the beams are like flowing history books. When you climb up to the Buddhist Incense Pavilion, you can take in the entire skyline of the northwest of the capital. In that vast place, there is a scene of endless prosperity and prosperity.
The adjacent North Garden of the National Botanical Garden showcases the generous gifts of nature.
In spring, the metasequoia forest in Cherry Valley is filled with steaming mist, making it look like the Wizard of Oz; in autumn, go to the Colorful Autumn Garden, where the red leaves and the lake light contrast with each other, creating a riot of colors, as if a painter has knocked over his palette.
This is not only a kingdom of plants, but also an extension of the Zen concept of "one temple, one mountain". The thousand-year-old ancient wintersweet in Wat Pho blooms in the cold winter, with a subtle fragrance floating everywhere, and the breath is refreshing.
Gathering in the center of the city·People in boudoir : Jingshan, Zhongshan and the old scenes in the south of the city
The Wanchun Pavilion in Jingshan Park will always be the commanding height of the central axis of Beijing.
Climbing on it and looking to the south, the overlapping golden domes of the Forbidden City seem like surging waves. Looking to the north, the Bell and Drum Towers stand quietly amidst the fireworks of the alleys. On the east and west sides, modern Beijing spreads out in the frame formed by the ancient buildings. This is the best and best viewing platform to understand the "new charm of the ancient capital" of Beijing.
Zhongshan Park is located on the west side. It was originally the Sheji Altar. When the ancient cypresses grew very densely, the five-color earth altar tells the ancient meaning of "the whole world is not the king's soil."
There is Taoranting Park in the south of the city, which is more like a gathering of literati. In the famous Chinese pavilion garden, there is the Drunkard Pavilion and the Orchid Pavilion. Famous pavilions from all over the country gather in this garden. Walking in it seems to be traveling between the Jiangnan water town and the Bashan Shu River. There is a scene at every step and articles everywhere.
Qingxue in Xishan·Zhongfan in the ancient temple : Xiangshan, Grand View Garden and the secret land of Xishan
Xiangshan Park in autumn is a sea of red leaves, with cotinus trees all over the mountains and plains like clouds.
Slowly climbing up the steps, mist and clouds intertwined with each other at the top of Xianglu Peak. Occasionally, it started to snow. This is where the scene of "Sunny Snow in the Western Mountains" in the Eight Scenic Spots of Yanjing was reappeared.
Biyun Temple and Jianxinzhai, located in the mountains, add a bit of tranquility and a bit of Zen to the warm autumn colors.
If you prefer the Jiangnan connotation, you can’t miss the Grand View Garden .
An antique garden built for the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" has now become a pilgrimage site for lovers of Red Mansions.
The Xiaoxiang Pavilion with its mottled bamboos, the magnificent Yihong Courtyard, and the elegant Hengwu Garden with its strange stones have solidified the character and destiny of the characters in the book into the pavilions and pavilions within a square inch.
For those tourists who hold a joint annual pass of 200 yuan, they can take this opportunity to further explore the hinterland of Xishan. They can explore the place called Guixiao Stone in Xishan National Forest Park, overlooking the bright night view of the capital city, or they can go to Yunju Temple in Fangshan to appreciate the profound sense of cultural heritage among the thousands of years of stone scriptures.
Sings of life and leisure in the city : Zoo, Water Cube and Gyeonggi roaming
The annual pass also includes fun and new knowledge.
This place called the Beijing Zoo is not only a paradise-like place loved by children, it also has an identity as a former Qing agricultural testing ground, which further adds an additional historical charm to this specific land.
Next to the ancient Changchun Hall, you can watch pandas playing happily, and in front of Changguan Building, you can watch waterfowl swimming freely. This is the perfect fusion of nature and humanity.
In the Olympic functional area, the Water Cube with dreamy blue bubbles shines in the sun. It is a living inheritance place of Olympic heritage. In winter, the water surface can be used for splashing, and in summer, it can be used for stargazing.
The "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Scenic Spots" section breaks down the geographical boundaries, starting from "Yunmeng Mountain" with its northern scenery, and ending with "Woltan Park" with its scenery of autumn moon and spring breeze. What is connected in series by a card is the more vast "Gyeonggi Blessed Land".
Whether you hold the 100-yuan annual ticket called a red trade union membership card, or a joint annual card issued through a formal platform, when you stroll leisurely in the Japanese courtyard of Shuangxiu Park, or linger in the modern art atmosphere of Beijing International Sculpture Park, you can deeply understand: What such a card carries is the thickness and temperature of a city.
