📍Address of the attraction: No. 53, Yandaixie Street, Xicheng District, Di'anmenwai, Beijing 🚗Transportation to the attraction: Shared bicycles are convenient for travel 👍️Must-see attractions: Figure 8 On the side of Yandaixie Street, there is an interesting statue - a chubby little boy is delivering letters to a tall antique Panlong mailbox, and his round face is shining with a coppery luster in the sun. This is No. 53 Yandaixie Street. On the lintel behind the statue hangs a plaque with black and gold characters - Qing Post Mail Box. The predecessor of the Qing Postal Mailbox was the Shichahai Post Office under the Di'anmen Post Office. The reason for choosing this retro name is to showcase the old Beijing culture of Yandaixie Street and the long history of Beijing Post. The so-called postal mailbox is the agency commissioned by the postal department, which usually entrusts private stores to sell stamps, collect and send letters, money orders, parcels, registered mail, etc., and pays remuneration based on business volume. Mailbox is an old name, later it was called agency. Before the formal establishment of modern postal service in China, in addition to post stations, there were also commercial private letter offices and overseas Chinese remittance offices, as well as passenger mail operated by foreign businessmen. There was also a period of time when customs also ran postal services. The Private Letter Bureau and the Overseas Chinese Remittance Bureau were private commercial organizations that delivered private letters and items and handled remittances. They were founded during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. From the Daoguang to Guangxu periods of the Qing Dynasty, there were thousands of private credit offices of all sizes. In addition to establishing head offices in commercially prosperous places such as Shanghai and Ningbo, some of them also set up branches or agency stores in various places, and cooperated with other private letter bureaus to form a private communication network. 🎟️Ticket related: No reservation required, no tickets 💗Other tips: This place is located in Houhai, please arrange it together

This is a street with a long history and rich cultural heritage. The street runs northeast to southwest, with a total length of just over 230 meters and a width of 4 meters. It is said that the narrow entrance on the east side of the street resembles the mouthpiece of a pipe, and the entire street looks like a tobacco pipe. During the day and at night, Yinding Bridge and Yandai Xiejie are bustling with tourists. In the summer, especially in the evening, tourists arrange their post-dinner time here, drinking, watching the lotus, and experiencing the old Beijing culture. The sides of Yandai Xiejie are lined with traditional courtyard houses, and the early morning belongs to the local people. Walking dogs, rushing to buy breakfast, and setting up vegetable stalls right there. The street is full of life. The Guangfu Temple, the Great Qing Post Office mailbox, and the No. 11 shop on Yandai Xiejie near the Drum Tower are worth a visit. After leaving Yandai Xiejie, turn left and you will see the Drum Tower, with plenty of time to continue exploring.

🩴Passing through Heizhima Hutong and Fangzhuanchang Hutong, leaving Nanluoguxiang, crossing Di'anmen Outer Street, and entering Wannian Hutong, you will reach the lakeside of Shichahai after coming out. Shichahai includes Qianhai, Houhai, and Xihai, with Xihai also known as Jishuitan. It was named after the ten Buddhist temples that used to surround it. 👍Shichahai is surrounded by numerous historical sites and bustling commerce, making it a famous historical and cultural district. The destination is located at the northeast corner of Qianhai, and the adjacent Yandai Xiejie is a street with a profound local atmosphere and rich old Beijing characteristics. 😜This street is only 232 meters long, and during the Qing Dynasty, it mainly dealt in smoking pipes and calligraphy and antique paintings, hence the fun name. 🛍️Today's Yandai Xiejie has already become homogenized, turning into a typical antique-style commercial street. Hurrying through it, you return to Di'anmen Outer Street and then head north to the Bell and Drum Towers. ⏱️The Bell and Drum Towers are located on the central axis of old Beijing, north of the Forbidden City and Jingshan Park, and were the time-reporting center during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The towers were first built during the Yuan Dynasty, and were rebuilt during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Their time-reporting function was not abolished until the thirteenth year of the Republic of China (1924). 🥁Among them, the Drum Tower is located on the south side, a large red pavilion-style building, originally with 25 big drums, but now only one remains. 🛎️The Bell Tower is located on the north side, a grey brick and stone structure with a double-eaved hip roof, and the copper bell preserved inside was cast during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, weighing 63 tons. It is the earliest and heaviest time-reporting copper bell in the world, known as the 'King of Ancient Bells'. 🪁Between the Bell Tower and Drum Tower is a small square, with both buildings of similar height, but one fat and one thin, one grey and one red, standing opposite each other, solemn yet lively, and can be called a model of ancient Chinese architecture. Leaving the Bell and Drum Towers, you return to Shichahai🌊 via the alley next to Gulou West Street, which belongs to the east bank of Houhai. Next to Longhua Temple, there is a Nan Shufang📔, named after the elegant literary style of the 'Southern Study' inside the Forbidden City. It is said to be a private courtyard, very valuable🪙. On the other side of Longhua Temple, there is a garden within a garden, named Wanghai Lou Park. This is a newly built antique-style garden facing Houhai, with 'Wanghai' naturally referring to Shichahai.🏕️The pavilions in the garden pale in comparison to the azure waters of Houhai and the willows. ✨Continuing along the lakeshore, you will arrive at the former residence of Comrade Song Qingling, which was once the Mingzhu Mansion and He Shen's private residence, later the mansion of Prince Chun, and after the liberation, it was arranged by Premier Zhou to become the residence of Comrade Song Qingling in Beijing.

Shichahai is a free scenic area with so many fun places to explore. Yan Dai Xie Street is one of them. Yan Dai Xie Street was established during the Yuan Dynasty, originally called Da Yu Ting Xie Street. During the Qing Dynasty's Qianlong era, it was known as Gu Lou Xie Street, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Yan Dai Xie Street. In the late Qing Dynasty, the street was mainly known for selling tobacco pipes, smoking accessories, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings, and it housed the Guang Fu Guan.

Yandai Byway is a newly popular hutong in the Drum Tower area, with its entrance on Di'anmen Street. The hutong branches off and connects to Shichahai, so if you're going to Shichahai, be sure to take a stroll down Yandai Byway as well. 😊 This hutong has an atmosphere similar to Nanluoguxiang, but its architecture has more of the old Beijing hutong characteristics, making it even better for taking photos. 👍 🚉Transportation: Exit from Shichahai Station A1, walk about 200 meters to reach the entrance of Yandai Byway. ⚠️It is not recommended to drive as there is no parking available, and the area around Di'anmen is extremely congested. 🚴If you are a group of friends traveling around the city, you can also ride shared bicycles here, and you can enjoy visiting nearby attractions such as Prince Gong's Mansion, Beihai Park, and the corner towers of the Forbidden City along the way, which is very interesting. 👏 ⏰Suggested visiting time: Noon🌞 - Night🌛 🎠Travel route: 🍜For lunch, you can go to 'Makai Restaurant' for a meal. This restaurant is frequented by locals, offering good value for money. The lamb skewers and various semi-finished dishes at the restaurant window are freshly made and can be taken home to eat. 🐰In the afternoon, it's recommended to stroll down Yandai Byway first, check in at some popular stores, such as the Great Qing Post Office, National Trend Milk Candy, Old Beijing Paper Cutting, Beijing Rabbit Lord, etc. You can buy them for collection or as gifts. 👉There are also many delicious foods on this street, such as Roast Meat Season, Ya'er Li Ji Shuan Meat, Ping'an Potstickers, which are chain brands worth trying. There are also many other popular snacks, buy according to your taste! ❗️ If you like drinking coffee☕️ and want to take panoramic photos of the Drum Tower area, you can check in at 'Sugar House' coffee shop, where you can take beautiful photos... However, you may need to queue. In the evening, walk into Shichahai, and the twilight, reflecting on the calm and green water, with you standing beside, just a random shot can be a set of great photos. 😃 When you're tired, sit in a roadside bar, order a cocktail, and chat with friends while listening to the singer's deep voice, which is another kind of mood. ⚠️Of course, remember to look for group purchases before entering the bar to save money. tips🚩 1⃣️ You can't go boating this season🚣 2⃣️ It's crowded, so take care of your belongings and don't be careless. 3⃣️ You can push a stroller, but it's not recommended to bring pets. ㊗️Have fun, follow me, and share firsthand travel experiences. 🌸

In China, lanterns are the soul of the New Year, and the New Year is where people return to. In the New Year dragon lantern competition across the country, the 100-meter dragon lantern in Shichahai, Beijing, definitely wins. This giant dragon lantern named "Jiaolong Out to Sea" is entrenched in Shilihai and runs through the Lotus Market. It is 202.4 meters long, which means "2024 Dragon Soaring Across the Sea". When the lanterns are lit at night, the visual effect is very shocking, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is full. 📍Shichahai is also one of the must-visit attractions in Beijing during the New Year👍. In addition to the 100-meter dragon lantern, the circle around the lake is also very lively ✔️Must-check-in🏘️Yandaixie Street: More than 200 meters east of Shichahai, the whole street has a strong festive atmosphere🏮 It is named because of its shape like a tobacco pipe and there happened to be many tobacco pipe shops in the late Qing Dynasty. Nowadays, the store planning is even more diverse🏘️ Not only antiques, calligraphy and painting🖼️, stationery and special snacks🧋, but also bars🍷, cafes☕️ and other fresh items 🚏Route recommendation: 🐲Directly watch the dragon lantern: You can locate "South Gate of Shichahai Lotus Market, Beijing", and you can see the dragon head on the roadside. The lights are turned on at 6pm. If you want to take a complete photo of the dragon lantern, you have to go to the east coast to shoot. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Use your camera 📸 to record every detail of your journey. I only hope that one of my soul and body will always be on the road, enjoying the beautiful scenery, feeling the vastness of the mountains and rivers🏞️, and sharing this colorful world with you💕.

Day1 (Drum Tower - Yandai Xiejie - Shichahai to watch the sunset) After getting off the plane at noon, we first settled in the hotel. We chose to take a taxi because we had a lot of luggage and were too lazy to transfer by subway. We stayed in Dongsi, which is very convenient to go anywhere, and there are many characteristic bread coffee shops nearby. After settling down, we went to the Drum Tower to eat candied haws and take pictures, and then strolled along Yandai Xiejie to Shichahai, just in time for the sunset🌄, which was too beautiful. After strolling around, we went to Yaerlijie for dinner, sitting in the scenic spot, surrounded by dusk, eating a warm hot pot is so comfortable. Day2 (The Palace Museum + Jingshan Park)🏯 The Palace Museum is scheduled for the morning, entering from the East Gate, recommending the live explanation of the Palace Museum official, which is available on both sides of the security check. We took the Central Axis - West Six Palaces - Treasure Museum route, 2.5 hours 350r, very worth it. With the explanation, you won't just glance over it. (I have to say that the things in the Treasure Museum are really too exquisite. After the explanation, we toured the Palace Museum on our own, visiting the cultural and creative shops and buying things. We left at two o'clock, and after leaving, we took a number at the Four Seasons Minfu Palace Museum store, then went to visit Jingshan Park, and returned to the roast duck shop at about 4:50, just in time for us. The position we queued up was good, next to the scenic spot. The taste is still appetizing for Cantonese. After dinner, we strolled back to the hotel. Day3 (Universal Studios)🌍 We left the hotel at 9:30 in the morning and took a taxi to Universal Studios. We played in a low-key manner during the off-season. We brushed Harry Potter's Forbidden Journey, Hippogriff Flight, Overlord Tiger Roller Coaster (which made me grit my teeth), Minions Turn the Sky, Jurassic World Adventure, etc. The projects in Universal are really dizzying, and I felt dizzy all the way. As for food, the Three Broomsticks Butterbeer tastes okay🧈. After watching the fireworks show in the evening, we bought some small souvenirs and left the park. Day4 (Yonghe Palace + Temple of Heaven) We got up early in the morning and went to Yonghe Palace to worship sincerely. We didn't ask for the opening of the rosary and so on. Maybe the day we went was the first day of the lunar month, and there were a lot of people. After worshiping, we rode a bike to Guozijian Hutong, strolled around Guan Xia, and then rode back to the hotel passing by the Coffee Manufacturing Bureau, and had a pistachio dirty, which was well-deserved and delicious. After a rest, we went to the Temple of Heaven🎑. We entered from the North Gate, passed through a forest of ancient trees to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. The forest of ancient trees is really beautiful, with snow on the ground, and occasionally a little squirrel would run down, feeling healed by nature. We also went in to see some exhibitions in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, which is worth seeing. In the evening, we had Xiaodiao Pear Soup, which was delicious and moist. I couldn't get used to the dishes, which were sweet. I ordered a chili sauce and I could eat it😅. Day5 (Mutianyu Great Wall)🗿 Few people and beautiful scenery! High playability! We went to both the east and west lines, the slide down the mountain on the east line was exciting, and the scenery on the west line was shocking. There are many chubby cats on the Great Wall, and I found that they recognize Chinese people. Many foreign friends teased them and they didn't move. They took the initiative to come to my feet and act like a baby😎 Day6 (Summer Palace) The last day's itinerary was arranged in the Summer Palace. Ice skating⛸️ is so much fun! It's just a bit cold on the feet. We were super lucky to encounter snowfall❄️! Touring the Summer Palace in the snow, it feels like traveling through time. There are many places worth visiting in Beijing, I like Beijing and will come again🇨🇳❤️
