Tian'anmen Square
Walking around these years, I found that many small towns have scaled-down squares and scaled-down Chang 'an Avenue. When I saw the original, I really felt like "walking into the news broadcast". Tiananmen Square is one of the largest city squares in the world, which is named after it is located outside Tiananmen Square at the south gate of the Ming and Qing Imperial Palace. There is a national flagpole at the northern end of the square, and a flag-raising ceremony is held every day at sunrise and sunset. The National Museum is located on the east side of the square, the Great Hall of the People and the National Grand Theatre are on the west side, and the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall is located on the south side of the square, facing the statue of Chairman Mao on Tiananmen Gate.
Before and after the National Day every year, Tiananmen Square will be decorated with large bonsai flowers, and the towers will be painted new and full of festive atmosphere.
Tiananmen Square is located on the central axis of Beijing. It is 880 meters long from north to south and 500 meters wide from east to west, covering an area of 440,000 square meters. The square is a public facility, free to enter and visit. However, if there are foreign affairs activities or other major activities, they will be temporarily closed.
Monument to the People's Heroes
It is 37.94 meters high and covers an area of about 3 100 square meters. It consists of three parts: stele, Xumi Mountain and abutment. As we all know, the inscription on the Monument to the People's Heroes was drafted by Mao Zedong and written by Zhou Enlai. Little known is that the two-story Sumitomo Building supporting the monument was designed by Lin.
Free visit to the Monument to the People's Heroes.

Imperial Palace
The Forbidden City is the pride of Beijing. The Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City, was once the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Located in the center of Beijing's central axis, covering an area of 720,000 square meters, it is the largest quadrangle in the world. The Forbidden City was built in the fourth year of Ming Judy Yongle (1406) and completed in the eighteenth year of Yongle (1420). The collections are mainly the palaces and their collections in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Palace Museum is a national first-class museum with an annual passenger flow of150,000, which can be said to be the busiest museum in the world.
The tourist route is one-way from south to north. The only entrance is Wumen, and the exits are Shenwumen and Donghuamen.
Ticket price: 60 yuan/person in peak season (April ~ 65438+ 10); Low season (165438+1October to March) 40 yuan/person.
Opening hours:
Except for statutory holidays and summer holidays (from July 1 day to August 3 1 day), the Palace Museum is closed on Mondays all year round.
Tips:
The Palace Museum has a huge palace complex and a large number of precious cultural relics, and there are many wonderful exhibitions every year. However, due to the protection of ancient buildings and cultural relics, many places do not have the conditions to open to the audience, and the time for holding exhibitions is relatively short. Therefore, the Palace Museum will gradually make a 360-degree virtual reproduction of important palace buildings and fine exhibitions. If you feel that a visit is not enough, or you miss a favorite exhibition for some reason, you can come here to make up for it!
Wangfujing business walkway
After several ups and downs, Wangfujing Street has now become one of the most prosperous commercial streets in Beijing. The most attractive thing is that this international central commercial street, which is full of modern flavor, high taste and high standard, has also concentrated a large number of well-known brands in China. Shoes of inline Sheng and Buyingzhai, hats of Shengxifu and Ma Juyuan, silk of Rui Fuxiang, scissors of Wang Pockmarked, cakes of Daoxiang Village, Gui Xiang Village and Xiangju Palace, roast duck of Quanjude, sauced meat of Tianfu, traditional snacks and preserved red snails all have shops. Tradition and modernity have formed a delicate balance here, and all kinds of consumers can return home here with full loads. Even if you don't buy anything, it's fun to go shopping!
