A Complete Guide to My Favorite Beijing Citywalk Route for Food, Fun, and Photos This Labor Day

Sisters visiting Beijing for Labor Day, come check this out! 📢 I'm sharing a Beijing route that locals keep secret: The Forbidden City's red walls ➡️ Qianmen Sanlihe's Little Jiangnan ➡️ Wangfujing Catholic Church ➡️ Beijing Cuisine Restaurant Peking Duck Feast You can experience both the history of old Beijing and unlock new trendy ways to have fun, eat well, and take great photos. ◾️Morning: Travel through 600 Years of Romance in the Forbidden City Rent your clothes in advance and head straight to the Forbidden City early in the morning. Rush in as soon as it opens, and take a photo of the empty red walls in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony while there are few people! ❗️ Stroll out of Donghua Gate, slowly wander along the moat to Qianmen, and turn into Caochang Santiao Hutong. You'll unexpectedly discover the "Little Jiangnan" secret of Sanlihe Park 🌿 with its bridges, flowing water, black swans, and small wooden house cafes ☕️ ◾️Afternoon: The Retro Vibe and Bustling Atmosphere of Wangfujing Take a 10-minute taxi ride from Sanlihe to Wangfujing This place is not just a shopping paradise, it also hides a Catholic church that is perfect for taking pictures. Strolling through the hutongs in the city is especially comfortable 😌 ◾️Evening: Peking Duck Surprise Hidden in the Hutongs When you're hungry from shopping, head straight to Jianguomen and check out Beijing Cuisine Restaurant, a flavorful restaurant hidden in the Scitech shopping mall. The dining environment is low-key and elegant, and the privacy is great even when dining in the hall! ❗️ I also tried the sea urchin Peking duck that has been very popular recently! The amber-colored duck skin glistens with oil as the knife cuts through it. The waiter said that the sea urchin used is the most plump and freshest Dalian sea urchin. The taste of this and the duck meat together is really fragrant, fresh, and sweet! Who can't love this combination? The young lady's service was super attentive, constantly refilling our water and proactively handing us wet wipes to wipe our hands. She even helped me pack everything up after I paid the bill while I was in the restroom. The details were perfect! 💯 ◾️Night: Shopping in Wangfujing On the way back to the hotel, take a stroll around Wangfujing to digest your food. The night view is another kind of scenery in Beijing.
