Tianzifang Wealth _ Tianzifang Location
Wudaoying/imperial academy
Wudaoying Hutong is quite close to the Lama Temple (the highest Buddhist temple in China in the middle and late Qing Dynasty), starting from the elder sister of the Lama Temple in the east and reaching Andingmennei Street in the west. It is an east-west hutong.
Speaking of the famous hutongs in Beijing, you must have heard of Nanluoguxiang, which is similar to Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, Kuanzhai Lane in Chengdu and Tianzifang in Shanghai. It is very crowded. It's not worth going now. Wudaoying Hutong is a bit like Nanluoguxiang before it became popular, and the small shops on both sides of the Hutong still have some fresh literary energy.
Not much to say about coffee bars, each family has its own characteristics. Near Andingmen Inner Street, there is a Spanish paella "Saffron" which is not bad. If you just come out of the mouth of the East Lama Temple and walk a little north, it will be delicious to cross the Lama Temple Bridge. But there are many small houses along the way, fortune telling, gambling and feudal superstitions. Don't believe any of them. They are all shops that order food and deceive people. If you really want to worship Buddha, buy a ticket to the Lama Temple.
Imperial College London is around here, too. It's about fifty meters on foot. It is the highest institution of higher learning and educational administration established in Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, which is today's Ministry of Education. Many students will take a walk here for good luck before the exam. I agree that screaming in the shade of the tree is for relaxation, but I think I'll just burn incense and kowtow to the statue. The stone statue really can't recite a word for you. . . Knock your head off if you don't work hard.
When imperial academy came out, there was a shop selling new Chinese furniture, which was not bad. If it is too expensive, we won't mention the name. It's also a happy time to have a cup of tea in their yard and see the blue sky opened by Wuling Six Veterinary Hospital.
How to get here:
Subway is the most convenient. Both subway lines 2 and 5 can reach the Lama Temple Station. You can come out from under the wall of the Lama Temple and go to all the places I just mentioned. Never drive here. Finding a parking space will make you doubt life. All vacancies will be posted, and there will be cars where there are no posts. If you have to drive, you can spend an hour trying your luck in the streets of Andingmen.
National Centre for the Performing Arts
The National Grand Theatre is on West Chang 'an Avenue, diagonally opposite Tiananmen Square, and next door to the Great Hall of the People. On the publicity page of a one-day tour in Beijing, it says Barabara, the National Grand Theatre in the Forbidden City, the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube in Tiananmen Square. In fact, the most I can do is to show you around and take a photo, which is very distracting. As the highest performing arts center in China, the National Centre for the Performing Arts is definitely one of the best in terms of the selection of repertoires, the level of actors' troupes and the types of performances. The National Centre for the Performing Arts is well worth spending an evening out listening to an opera, concert or drama. World-class performance, this kind of experience can't be embraced anytime and anywhere in China.
The architectural concept of the theater is to float and immerse in water. After entering the north gate, there is a long underwater corridor at first. There are different exhibitions on both sides of the corridor regularly. After arriving at the olive hall in front of the three theaters, you can go up the escalator to the public hall. You can see the largest titanium dome in the world, which is very shocking.
If you are interested in large-scale architecture and performing arts, the National Centre for the Performing Arts must come. You can't bring food and water, and you can't take pictures or videos while watching the performance. If there is a violation, there will be a staff member who will light a green laser light on your screen, which is still very embarrassing. Important performances will block the cell phone signal and let the audience enjoy a concert quietly. If you are late, you can only wait for the staff to arrange it between chapters or during the intermission to ensure the audience's listening experience.
I suggest you come back when you are full. First of all, there is nothing to eat around here. Secondly, the water bar in the coffee shop, that is, an orange juice sandwich, is a simple meal with average quality. You can come earlier and visit the music souvenir shop. Very interesting.
