The teacher wants to write a travel diary, about 400 words

You are not a true man unless you reach the Great Wall! There are many well-preserved ruins of the Great Wall around Beijing. The Great Wall is history. She meanders among the mountains and has been baptized by wind, frost, rain and snow for thousands of years, but she still retains her majesty and majesty. The Great Wall will show different styles in different seasons, different times, and different weather conditions.

Huanghuacheng is the well-preserved Great Wall closest to the urban area. We have been here many times. The scenery is different in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The transportation is very convenient. We also discovered it by chance on our way to Yanqing. The money may have been collected now. She is located between two mountains and a river, and the terrain is dangerous. The huge stone has the inscription "Golden Soup" written on it, which means it is as solid as gold. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with undulating trends. In summer, the mountains are covered with yellow flowers, and in winter, the ice hanging at the foot of the Great Wall is very beautiful. The Great Wall is basically well-preserved. There is also a stone tablet in a beacon tower, which writes about the inspection of the Governor of Zhili at that time. I wonder if it has been protected. You can walk from Huanghuacheng to Jiankou. It is very convenient to drive on the highway from Changling to Sihai. It’s really a great place to go.

Sima Tai is the most dangerous of the developed Great Walls in Beijing. Many promotional photos of the Great Wall were taken here. The Great Wall here is on a steep ridge, getting steeper as you go up. There are single-sided walls, ladders and other attractions. It was developed relatively early and basically maintains the original appearance of the Ming Great Wall. In particular, the famous Great Wall bricks with burnt characters were made in the Wanli year of the Ming Dynasty. Across a lake is the Jinshanling Great Wall, but it has been artificially restored and there is no sense of vicissitudes. But if you are not in good health, you can go here and have a look. The transportation between Simatai and Jinshanling is also very convenient, and there are many special buses going there.

Xiangshui Lake is located in Huairou, a part of the Great Wall that has not yet been extensively developed. Because there are so few people, the grass is already waist-deep in many parts, so be careful when going up. There is a red trout farm here and the mountain springs are clear, making it a good place to take a summer vacation. Xiangshui Lake is one of the main attractions in Huairou, so the transportation is relatively convenient. It is located on the road from Mutianyu to the Ming Tombs.

The Beijing Jiankou Great Wall runs from Changping to the north, passing through Changling and Heishan Village, and then runs from Huanghua Town to Huairou. After passing Xiangshui Lake, turn from the entrance to Wo Foshan Villa. See the Great Wall from a distance. We bravely climbed up, but it was too far away from the Great Wall and had to go back the way we came. Driving around Qifengcha, turn south from Beijing Gold Mine to Xizhazi, where there are two sections of the Great Wall. One section is Wangjing Tower, which takes an hour to go up, and the other section is Jiankou, which can be climbed in half an hour. These two sections of the Great Wall are undeveloped and remain in their original state with few tourists. From here you can easily climb the Jiankou Great Wall and look south, which feels great. Walking east to the beacon tower, there is a very steep ladder, but the scenery is beautiful. The Great Wall winds along the mountain and is majestic. This is known as the second dangerous section of the Great Wall. The scenery is very beautiful. The Great Wall is dangerous and well-preserved. It is a rare photography base in the Great Wall. I heard it's going to be developed, so please go there quickly. You can go east to Mutianyu, west to Huanghuacheng, or to the Great Wall.

The second scene in Xizhazi is Ladder to Heaven, One Side and Eagle Flying Upside Down. We have heard of the Great Wall Knot for a long time, but is the Jiuyan Tower or the Great Wall Knot the real dividing point of the Great Wall? To find out, we set out. It takes less than an hour to drive from Huairou to Xizhazi Village. Since this area is undeveloped, the roads are not very good and there are no road signs. We arrived at a three-way intersection. To the left were Jiankou and Wangjing Tower. The others are unknown. We chose the middle path. (I later learned that I had chosen the wrong path, and the Great Wall junction was to the right). The road soon became unbearable, so I asked some fellow villagers and found out that I couldn't reach the Great Wall Knot from here, but it was better than the other side of the Great Wall Knot. This side of the Great Wall is called the Ladder to Heaven, one side, and the eagle flies backwards. What a long name! I’ve heard the first two names a lot, but I haven’t heard of the third one yet. Had to move forward on foot. After about an hour of trekking, we stood on a well-preserved section of the Great Wall. We took a short rest and then started walking along the Great Wall, preparing to go straight to the Great Wall Knot from here. It is better preserved than Jiankou, but because there are fewer people, the bushes almost block the road. After a period of gentle slope, the Great Wall began to steepen along the mountain. One section of the Great Wall may be a ladder to heaven. It is less than 100 meters long, but has a slope of 56 degrees. The narrowest part of the Great Wall is only less than 60 centimeters, which is very strange. Looking to the left and right, there are cliffs. I used to think that Simatai was the most dangerous part of the Great Wall, but now it seems that it is the most dangerous part of the Great Wall. After marching for about two hours, the Great Wall suddenly broke. It's like a waterfall falling into the valley tens of meters away. If you go down the side path and look at it, you will see that this section of the Great Wall is like an eagle flying backwards. Perhaps due to changes in the mountains, the Great Wall hangs upside down on the cliff, which is a wonder. From here there are only two beacon towers away from the Great Wall. We used a telescope to observe carefully and found that the real dividing point of the Great Wall is the Jiuyan Tower. The Great Wall breaks not far from the Great Wall Knot. Looking far into the distance, the mighty Great Wall comes from Shanhaiguan, separates from Jiuyan Tower, and follows the mountains all the way north to Zhangjiakou. The other way to Laiyuan is really majestic. We sincerely sigh: The Great Wall can only be described in two words - great.

Huangyaguan is located in Hebei. It has been restored. There is nothing below, but it is relatively steep up. There is an ancient Great Wall beacon tower, which you can continue walking down. Ajian was on annual leave last year, and the time was short. He drove a rented old Alto and made a round trip in one day. There were no people on the Great Wall, so it felt good.

Xishuiyu runs from the Changping Island to the Ming Tombs and then to the Sihai Highway. When we arrived at Xishui Valley, we paid 15 yuan for a ticket to see the reservoir. There is no need to buy a ticket to go up the Great Wall. Just turn a corner from a village and you will be at the foot of the Great Wall.

Only the granite base at the bottom of the Great Wall was left, and the upper wall was gone. We climbed up toward Huanghuacheng for a while. As the rain started to fall heavily, the shrubs on the Great Wall were too dense, so we had to return the same way we came. The other side of the Great Wall runs along the mountain and plunges directly into the Xishuiyu Reservoir, which is very spectacular. According to fellow villagers, there was a war here during the Liberation War, so the Great Wall was severely damaged. You can walk along the Great Wall to Huanghuacheng, and on the other side to Longquan Valley.

Ancient Enemy Tower along the river: Always lost, Jin Beihuang, traffickers and veteran drivers are preparing to go to Huangcaoliang today. But because the rented cowardly machine broke down, I had to go to the riverside city for a walk. Not wanting to be a blessing in disguise, I experienced the beauty of the ancient enemy tower along the river. From National Highway 109 to the west, approaching Zhaitang Town, there is a sign with the name Pearl Lake. Turn north and you will reach Yanhe City. Here you can see the ancient city along the river. The wide Yongding River flows through the ancient city, which is very nostalgic. Walking back, there is a fork that extends into the mountains, and you can reach enemy towers No. 3, 4, and 5 in Yanhe City. The mountains here are steep, with a ditch sandwiched between two mountains, and the enemy tower is built on the middle of the mountain. There is a strong tendency that one man can guard the pass and ten thousand men can't open it. The ancient enemy tower is well preserved and no one is looking after it. It is a miracle that it has been preserved.

Longquanyu: Take the Badaling Expressway from Madian, and then continue in the direction of the Ming Tombs after arriving in Changping. From Tailing to Changchi Line, the autumn scenery is pleasant, and the leaves on the mountains are of different colors, contrasting with the blue sky. , like a Chinese painting. On the way you can also see a section of the remaining boundary wall of the Ming Tombs. After walking a little further, you can see the winding Great Wall on the right side of the road. Turn off the dirt road from the Longquanyu intersection and arrive at Longquanyu Village in about two or three miles. Walking up the path from the entrance of the village, there are fruit trees on both sides of the road. The ground is full of hawthorn fruits, and the trees are full of fruits. After walking about a mile, we reached the Great Wall. There is no development here, so there are only two of us, and it is relatively quiet. The Great Wall is relatively well preserved. The higher you go up, the more complete it becomes. Looking northeast from the third watchtower, you can see the zigzag shape of the Great Wall. If you don't look carefully, it looks like four layers of Great Wall arranged from near to far. It's spectacular. After passing the fourth watchtower, you can see the Xishuiyu Reservoir in the distance like a piece of jasper inlaid among the mountains. The Great Wall suddenly stopped when it reached a cliff. It turned out that the ancients used the cliff as a natural barrier to defend against enemies. There is a path from the fourth watchtower to the Great Wall leading to Xishui Valley on the other side of the cliff. We looked from the mountain to the other side of the Changchi Highway and saw that the Great Wall was interrupted not far away. According to "Driving in Beijing", because this section of the Great Wall was not the main line, only one section was built. After we got off the Great Wall, we continued driving and saw another broken section of city wall extending to the southwest along the ridge on the roadside. The locals called it the stone wall built by Qin Shihuang. It seemed to have a history. We traveled from Yongning to Huanghuacheng via Sihai and Erdaoguan, took some photos at dusk and then returned to Beijing. This route has convenient transportation and not many people, so it is definitely a go. The bus from Deshengmen to Yanqing has a stop at Longquanyu, which can be easily reached.

Winter border towns—Changyu City, Zhenbian City, Hengling, Yan Great Wall: It snowed for the first time in Beijing yesterday, and the sky has been gloomy. This morning, I looked out the window and saw that the sun was shining brightly in the sky. We set off according to the original plan, driving the rented Fukang via Badaling Expressway, exiting the expressway from the Shahe exit, passing through Yangfang, Liucun, and Gaoyakou to reach the Masiaoquan three-way intersection, turn north and turn left at the first intersection , not far ahead, I saw a section of city wall on the mountain in the distance. At the end of the road, I saw an ancient city. The city wall was relatively dilapidated, but the south city gate was relatively well preserved. There was an urn in the door opening, and there were traces of a plaque on the gate opening. It's still obvious, but the plaque is gone, leaving only a golden portrait of Mao Zedong Thought during the Cultural Revolution. Changyu City was built in 1520 and expanded in 1537. It was another important route from the Yanqing Basin to Beijing, so it has been subject to constant wars for many years. According to local fellows, there was a battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese here, and they pointed out many marks of gunshot holes on the walls to us. More than 400 years have passed, and Changyu City still guards this ancient road that is no longer important, standing tall in the strong wind. After leaving Changyu City, we walked back and drove towards Hebei through the big village. Once we entered the Hebei border, the road turned into a stone road. There were no villages on the road, and we could only see the high mountains on both sides of the road. Suddenly, a herringbone-shaped city wall trace appeared on the mountain not far away. When I walked in, I saw that it was the ruins of an ancient city. After verification, it was found that this was the ruins of the old city on the edge of the town. It was abandoned because it was washed away by the flood. The former military town turned into a wasteland. Not far ahead, we arrived at the new city on the edge of the town. The city wall was still intact, and the north gate was still the main passage out of the city. The ancient city looked very desolate in the violent north wind. The ancient battlefield where armies and iron horses fought has been forgotten today. After entering the city, I saw old houses everywhere in the city, and there was also an ancient stage, which was relatively large. You can imagine that it was prosperous back then, but now it has become a woodshed. After leaving the town border town and heading north along a deserted dirt road, we arrived at the ancient city of Hengling. Hengling City is quite well preserved. There are two door openings on the south gate, which are still intact. There is also a door opening on the southeast, which was opened for unknown reasons. The north gate of the city is even more interesting. There is a small temple above the gate with complete doors and windows. It is now also a woodshed. The city wall on the east and west mountains of Hengling City is also relatively well preserved. Its shape is just like Juyongguan, which is also an oval. Not far away from Hengling and heading north, we started to go up the mountain. Not far away, there was a broken section of the Great Wall winding on the ridge. Not long after passing the intersection of the Great Wall and the highway, there was a path going up the mountain to the left.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, we drove up and turned. The road was very narrow and steep. We saw a gravel slope on the right, which was very dangerous. The road turned around a mountain peak and ended up at the foot of Yan Great Wall. We looked at the masterpieces of the ancients in front of us in great amazement. This section of the Great Wall is relatively dilapidated, but one side of the wall is still vaguely visible, and the crenellations have become triangular. Standing on the Great Wall and looking northward, you can see the frozen Guanting Reservoir and the flat Huailai Basin in the distance. The Great Wall stretches across the mountains and forms a barrier guarding the gateway to Beijing. There is still some controversy about the construction age of this Great Wall, but judging from its construction characteristics and degree of dilapidation, it is indeed not like the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. From this section of the Great Wall, you will reach the edge of the Guanting Reservoir, and pass by the ancient city of Dashankou, where only the ruins of the Yan Great Wall are left. They are lined up from east to west. Although they are dilapidated, they still retain their momentum. There are many ancient monuments on this route, but due to the inconvenience of transportation and the location in the mountains, they are all well preserved and hopefully can be preserved from generation to generation.

Panjiakou Reservoir and Xifengkou Great Wall Travel Notes: There is a seven-day holiday on May Day. An experienced driver kept the tickets, couldn’t wake up, and always got lost. He rented a 2000 car and set off from Beijing early in the morning, taking Jingshun Road. Arrive at Shunyi, then follow the wide road to Pinggu, pass through Xinglong and go east, passing Banbishan and Lanqiying on the way, and then follow the road to Kuancheng to reach the Panjiakou Reservoir. What you must remember is that if you want to drive directly to Xifengkou by car, you should not go down from the tourist reception office. Instead, you should drive back a little, go down from the village entrance, pass through the village through a bridge, and at the end of the road is the famous Xifengkou Great Wall. We arrived at dusk and saw a sunset that dyed the mountains in the distance, near the water and the Great Wall in the water red. It was very beautiful and gave people a sense of history. According to local people, when the Qing soldiers entered the customs, they fought from here to Zunhua, crossed the Qiangzi Road, and went straight to the capital. During the Anti-Japanese War, the 29th Army of the Kuomintang, led by Song Zheyuan, fought a bloody battle with the Japanese. In 1979, the Panjiakou Reservoir was built and Xifengkou was submerged, forming a unique underwater Great Wall. There are both human masterpieces - the Great Wall and the reservoir - as well as natural beauty. It is indeed a place to go. However, due to poor tourism management, you must be prepared. The accommodation does not need to be in the tourist area. There are better hotels not far back. Don't drive down the river beach, otherwise you will easily get stuck in the sand. The locals will smoke cigarettes and watch you push the car until you give up, and then charge a sky-high price to help you tow the car. Speedboats are also more expensive, depending on your financial strength. From Beijing to Panjiakou Reservoir, the road is all asphalt. It is only a little bumpy in Lanqiying. It can be accessed by ordinary cars. Since there are many mountain roads, it is best to do a two-day trip.

Dazhenyu is located in Huairou, Beijing. We saw the beautiful scenery there from the Great Wall album, so we decided to take a look with our own eyes. In order to take good photos, we set off from Beijing at around three in the morning. When we arrived at Dazhenyu Village, the morning light was slightly dew, and the undulating mountain peaks were shrouded in a thick layer of green. We got our gear ready and started walking towards the valley. The valley is full of fruit trees, including almond trees, walnut trees, chestnut trees, and pepper trees. The trees are already loaded with fruits. The valley is very quiet, there are only a few of us. After walking not far, I turned around a hill and saw a section of the Great Wall on the mountain in front of me that went straight to the bottom of the valley along the ridge, then turned around and went over the mountain. It was very spectacular. The Great Wall at the bottom of the valley has been washed away by floods, revealing a section of the Great Wall built with huge boulders. We climbed up the Great Wall from a nearby path and climbed up to the east side. The first section of the Great Wall naturally collapsed more seriously, but the higher you go, the better it is preserved. At this time, the sun has risen from the east, and the color of the mountains has turned into a shimmering green. The Great Wall winds up and down along the mountains from east to west, blending into the green, making people have to sigh that the ancients power. The Dazhenyu Great Wall has several characteristics. First of all, the Great Wall from the valley bottom to the west side did not continue to build up along the ridge. Instead, it suddenly made a ninety-degree turn downward from the cliff in the middle, and then circled along the valley bottom. above; secondly, the architectural forms on the east and west sides of the Great Wall here are exactly the same, but the section at the bottom of the valley is obviously different; thirdly, the watchtowers here are larger in scale, and we passed three well-preserved five-eye towers; Fourth, the stone carvings here are well preserved. We saw one stone tablet and one inscription on the wall. Fifth, there is a rare three-fork intersection gate of the Great Wall here, and the door opening is well preserved. Dazhenyu has convenient transportation, is undeveloped, and has beautiful scenery. It is a good place for tourism in the suburbs of Beijing.

Laiyuan, as the name suggests, is the source of Laishui River. It is also called Liangcheng and has many scenic spots. Laiyuan is actually the source of Juma River, Yishui River and Laishui River. There are Henglingzi, Wulonggou, Hushan, Xianrenyu, Shipu Gorge, Baishi Mountain and other scenic spots. Laiyuan Mountain has clear waters and beautiful scenery. It is not only a summer resort, but also a good place for outdoor excursions. Friends who like the Great Wall can go to Wulonggou and Chajian Ridge to have a look. It was already half past three in the afternoon when we got here. We first found a fellow villager to stay in a village near Shipu Gorge, and then walked through the cornfield on the edge of the village into the mountains. As we walked past a quarry, we saw the Great Wall overlooking us on the huge granite ridge on the left. Although it was getting late, we still impulsively climbed up from the exposed boulder. The Great Wall here is well-preserved because it has not been developed. It was built using granite. It has experienced the baptism of time and is still majestic and solemn. There are only goat footprints on it, and individual beacon towers stand alone on dangerous peaks. They are almost undamaged and are very well preserved.

Standing on the beacon tower, overlooking the mountains, the winding Great Wall and the blood-red sunset, I think of the iron horse fighting and the beacon fire in the sky. Today, the ruins are in ruins. I can't help but sigh that life is short and the mountains are never old. That night, the fellow villagers cooked us an unforgettable and delicious farm meal, and we still miss the golden scrambled eggs. The mountain village was very quiet at night. We lined up, lying on the earthen kang, telling each other scary ghost stories, and soon fell asleep soundly. The next day, we went to Ten Falls Gorge to enjoy the cool feeling, played countless kicks, and felt extremely good. Laiyuan is a tourist attraction that combines historical relics, natural scenery and tourism. Laiyuan has convenient transportation. You can go west from Gongzhufen Bridge on Beijing's Third Ring Road to National Highway 108 and follow the national highway to get there. You can also take the Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway, exit from Gaobeidian, pass through Laishui to Zijingguan, and then take National Highway 108. Particularly worth mentioning is Zijingguan Pass. Zijin Pass is one of the nine famous passes in ancient times and an important pass on the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. It is also known as the "Three Passes" together with Juyong Pass and Daoma Pass. Guancheng is very majestic, with 9 city gates, 4 water gates and 19 battle platforms. You can drop by and have a look.

Climbing the Jiuyan Tower after the rain: It has been raining in Beijing recently. Ajian, Minolta, and veteran drivers saved their tickets and went to the Jiuyan Tower together. Because it rained heavily yesterday, there were streams and waterfalls everywhere in the mountains, as if we were in the south of the Yangtze River. After parking the car in a simple parking lot, we started climbing. The dirt road had turned into a small river, so we had to jump around like deer and wade across the river. Along the way, there are dense trees, gurgling water, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. The scenic area has wooden benches set up along the mountain road. We walked and rested for a while, and soon we saw a broken watchtower on the top of the mountain, which was the famous Jiuyan Tower. It is located on the top of the Flame Mountain at an altitude of 1141 meters. For hundreds of years, she has been guarding the north gate of Beijing. The current Jiuyan Tower is relatively dilapidated. Only the crumbling lookout window remains on the outer layer. The vaulted interior chamber on the inner layer is relatively well preserved, and the square bricks on the ground are still flat. Looking around from the Jiuyan Tower, you can see the Beijing Knot in the south, the Heituo Mountain standing majestically in the north, and the Great Wall with only rubble wall foundations winding to the west, which is very magnificent. To get to Jiuyan Tower, you can take the Badaling Expressway from Madian Bridge, walk toward Jiudu River and Heishanzhai at the Changling intersection, cross Huanghuacheng to Sihai, and turn toward Liulim Temple. There is a sign pointing to the Flame Mountain Scenic Area along the road. You can reach it by walking. This route is in good condition, except for the last section of dirt road.

On July 15, our tour group arrived at Huanghua Airport and prepared to fly to Tianjin. This was my first time flying, and I couldn't be more happy. At the airport, I saw many huge airplanes, some had just landed and some were taking off. When a plane comes down, I have to look carefully to see if it is the one we are going to take. All I want to do is board the plane as soon as possible. At this time, an Okay Airways plane landed. Dad told me that we were about to take this plane to Tianjin. At 15:50 Beijing time, we boarded the plane. On the plane, I saw many clouds, these clouds were below us. I also saw Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River. While the plane was flying, it sometimes veered to the left, sometimes to the right, and sometimes dropped a few meters. I was worried that the plane would fall. During the flight, the waiter also brought free drinks and snacks. The plane flew for one hour and fifty minutes and landed smoothly in Tianjin. After leaving the airport, we took the bus to the hotel. After dinner, we went directly to the hotel. This day's trip is over.

On July 16, we took a walk around Tianjin. In Tianjin, we came to Tianjin’s Quanyechang, which is a place where people are advised to start businesses. In Quanyechang, I saw a huge coin and a carriage. The tour guide said that we came here to "flatter people and make a lot of money." We also went to the food street in Tianjin and tasted some things for free. After leaving Tianjin, we took the bus to Beijing. When we arrived in Beijing, it was time for lunch, so we went to the hotel. The food in Beijing is really terrible. After dinner, we went to the Temple of Heaven Park. Although the Temple of Heaven Park is a famous scenic spot, I was extremely disappointed when I saw it today. The Temple of Heaven Park is originally beautiful, but many buildings are under renovation, and even the echo wall has been damaged and no longer echoes. In the Temple of Heaven Park, the most worth seeing is an ancient tree. When we went to the hotel in the evening, we passed Chang'an Avenue, the first street in China. On both sides of Chang'an Street, there are many famous buildings, such as Tiananmen Square. China's highest authority is on Chang'an Street. Our tour guide asked us to visit Chang'an Street, and the tour guide agreed.

On July 17, we got up very early. We took a bus to the majestic Tiananmen Square. The venue is spacious and spectacular. Tiananmen Square is crowded with people, cars are like running water, and horses are like swimming dragons. Foreign tourists crowded around. In Tiananmen Square, my father took a camera and took pictures of the Tiananmen Gate Tower, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Monument to the People’s Heroes, the Great Hall of the People and other sights. There are so many people visiting Chairman Mao Memorial Hall! We had to wait in line. After waiting in line for more than an hour, we finally got to the front. In the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, I saw Chairman Mao’s appearance. The short visit left a deep impression on me. Chairman Mao will always live in our hearts. We went up to the Tiananmen Rostrum and had a panoramic view of Tiananmen Square in front of us. Recall the founding ceremony held here on October 1, 1949.

I seemed to hear Chairman Mao standing on the tower and solemnly announcing, "The People's Republic of China has been established! The Chinese people have stood up since then!" I seemed to see the crowd in Tiananmen Square boiling and cheering. I personally experienced the elegance of the central leadership on the Tiananmen Gate Tower. The ancient Tiananmen Square is changing, and so are all parts of the country, and it is changing faster and better. In the afternoon, we went to the Forbidden City again. The Forbidden City, located in the center of Beijing, was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was formerly known as the Forbidden City and was built in 1420. It is the largest and most complete ancient palace building complex in my country. Fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing Dynasty lived here and ruled China for 491 years. The Forbidden City is a magnificent building with clusters of palaces and pavilions, surrounded by a rectangular city wall more than ten meters high, and a moat fifty-two meters wide outside the city. There is a gate on each side of the city wall, the Meridian Gate in the south, the Shenwu Gate in the north, the Donghua Gate in the east, and the Xihua Gate in the west. There is an exquisite and ingenious turret on each of the four corners of the city wall. The city covers an area of ​​more than 720,000 square meters and has nearly 9,000 palaces and houses of various types, embodying the essence of ancient Chinese architectural art and unique national style. After leaving the Forbidden City, we went to Jingshan Park, Beihai Park, Tongrentang and other places.

On July 18, we took a bus for more than an hour to Changling, one of the Thirteen Tombs. Also visited several shopping attractions. In the afternoon, we came to one of the seven wonders of the world, which is our Badaling Great Wall. On our way back, we came to the famous Cloisonné Handicraft Manufacturing Factory. At the cloisonne manufacturing factory, we visited many handicrafts. These handicrafts are very exquisite, the expensive ones cost hundreds of thousands, and the cheap ones cost tens of thousands. This shows how precious cloisonné handicrafts are.

On July 19, we arrived at the Summer Palace. The Summer Palace is located in the northwest suburbs of Beijing. It was originally the garden and palace of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Its predecessor, Qingyi Garden, was built in 1750 and was burned down by the British and French forces during the Guangxu period. Cixi misappropriated naval funds to rebuild it and renamed it the Summer Palace in 1888. The Summer Palace is mainly composed of Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake, with water area accounting for about three-quarters. There are more than 3,000 ancient houses of different types in the whole park. The famous Foxiang Pavilion is the architectural center of the park. It is majestic and stands on a mountain facing water. Kunming Lake, with its vast water and sky, is charming and moving; the seventeen-hole bridge lies across the lake like a rainbow; a line of west embankments runs from north to south, and the six bridges on the embankments are hidden among the green willows; beautiful natural scenery, colorful buildings, exquisite The display of cultural relics and outstanding gardening art fully reflect the high degree of wisdom and infinite creativity of our country's working people. We walked on a long corridor that was miles long. It turns out that the corridor is a colorful gallery, with more than 8,000 colorful paintings of figures, landscapes, flowers and birds painted on the beams. Each painting has a historical allusion. Such as Xanadu, Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage, etc. We have also been to the place where Cixi imprisoned Emperor Guangxu. There are willow trees by the lake, and the scenery is beautiful. In the beautiful scenery, there is hidden the evil deeds of a man who imprisoned the king and his nephew. Feudal society is really a society where individuals cannibalize people.

In the afternoon, we reluctantly left Beijing.

Visiting the Forbidden City

On a weekend in the golden autumn, the sun was shining brightly and the autumn breeze was refreshing. My mother and I visited the Palace Museum in the city center. I was very happy.

When I walked into the gate of the Forbidden City, "Wow! It's so big here!" I couldn't help but say. Mom said: "The most spectacular thing is yet to come!" We first visited the architectural model of the Forbidden City and its architectural construction. I learned that the Forbidden City covers an area of ​​more than 720,000 square meters and has more than 9,000 palaces. They are all wooden structures, and all wooden structures do not have a single nail. The palace has a blue and white stone base, a tall roof, yellow glazed tiles, dragon patterns everywhere, and is decorated with brilliant colors on the golden walls. I observed all the palaces and found that they were arranged along the north-south central axis and spread out to both sides, straight from north to south and symmetrical from left to right. I told my mother what I had discovered, and she nodded with a smile and said, "This central axis not only runs through the Forbidden City, but also reaches Yongding Gate in the south and Drum Tower in the north, almost running through the entire urban area. It is magnificent. , well-planned and extremely spectacular.”

We visited from the Imperial Garden to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It was really breathtaking! In the Forbidden City, the most eye-catching ones are the "Three Main Halls": Taihe Hall, Zhonghe Hall, and Baohe Hall. They are all built on an 8-meter-high platform made of white marble. From a distance, they look like the mythical Qionglou Yuyu. The first Hall of Supreme Harmony is the most magnificent building. People call it the "Jinluan Hall". This is the place where the emperor held grand ceremonies. The hall is 28 meters high, 63 meters from east to west, and 35 meters from north to south. There are also large pillars with a diameter of 1 meter supporting the roof. Among them, the six large pillars with a diameter of 1 meter surrounding the throne are Panlong pillars painted in gold. The throne is located on a 2-meter-high platform in the hall. There are graceful cranes and furnace tripods in front, and a finely carved screen behind. The entire hall is decorated with brilliant golden walls, which is both solemn and magnificent; the Zhonghe Hall is the seat of the emperor. When going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to hold a grand ceremony, it is a place to take a break and practice etiquette; the Hall of Baohe is the place where the emperor gives a banquet to the princes of foreign vassals on New Year's Eve every year. This is just the building of the Forbidden City, and there are countless rare treasures displayed in the palace. My mother said: "These treasures are only part of it. When Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan, he robbed many of the treasures in the palace, and some were lost abroad." My heart ached when I heard this, and I felt sad for the loss of these treasures.

When will these lost treasures return to the embrace of the motherland? I am even more looking forward to the reunion of Taiwan and the mainland as soon as possible and the treasures returning home as soon as possible.

A visit to the Forbidden City made me linger. The architecture of the Forbidden City is truly an unparalleled masterpiece. It is truly a miracle. Our Chinese culture of five thousand years is extensive and profound, and we should be proud of the ancients for building such a magnificent palace. At the same time, we also have the responsibility to protect these cultural relics and historic sites from damage, so that the five thousand years of splendid civilization of the motherland can be passed down through the ages.

The majestic Palace Museum is one of the world-famous royal architectural complexes.

Walking into Tiananmen, passing through Duanmen and Meridian Gate, I came to the Gate of Supreme Harmony. A tall palace appeared in front of me. This is the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the emperor works. After passing the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I came to Go to the Zhonghe Hall, and after passing the Zhonghe Hall is the Baohe Hall. Each palace has vermilion walls and gates, and the roof is covered with yellow glazed tiles. After passing the Baohe Hall, turn a corner and you will see a small door. After entering the door, look to the right and you will see the Nine Dragon Wall. Nine dragons are carved on the Nine Dragon Wall. Their colors are white, blue, yellow and black. They have different shapes and no two are the same. After passing the Nine Dragon Wall, go through the small door on the left and come to the clock room. When I entered the clock room, I couldn't help but be astonished. I was clearly in the kingdom of clocks, the ocean of clocks. Ancient clocks of all sizes were lined up in rows, and there was a dazzling array of them. There were mahogany figure fan clocks, gold-plated copper green sharkskin astronomical clocks, and copper kettle hourglasses. , hardwood carved clocks and so on, there are more than 1,000 kinds of clocks in the country. After passing the clock room, we walked around and came to the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden is beautiful and has flowers blooming in all seasons. This kind of flower has not withered yet, and that kind of flower has bloomed again. There is a rockery in the middle of the garden. Covered by the surrounding grass, the rockery is even more beautiful.

There are beautiful scenery everywhere in the Palace Museum, which can’t be described enough. I hope you have the opportunity to go and enjoy it.
