I look forward to winter in Beijing the most, walking through the hutongs with a smoky aroma, eating candied haws and watching people come and go in the hutongs.

The starting station is Huangtudian Station to Yanqing Station, passing through Nankou Station and Badaling Station. The round trip to the Great Wall is 14 yuan.
The interpreter explained in detail, the service was very thoughtful, and very enthusiastic. In each attraction, we explained carefully. Our tourists learned the history and cultural knowledge of the Forbidden City. Next time they come to Beijing to visit the Forbidden City, they can hear his explanation.
This time I came to Beijing's Forbidden City, and I made an appointment with the teacher Zhang Xinyi, the explanation teacher, and the explanation was even more vivid. The story of the Forbidden City's 604-year history was wonderful. The elderly and children who brought us liked it very much. We took us into the Forbidden City but everyone listened with relish. I highly recommend Xiucai to say Mr. Zhang, [strong][strong][strong]
The Forbidden City has a rich history and culture. The Palace Museum is the palace of the Ming and Qing emperors and has a history of nearly 600 years. Here, you can learn about the rise and fall of the feudal dynasty in China and feel the luxury and style of the royal family. I participated in the explanation of Xiucai's home today. The content of Xiao Wang's explanation is very rich. I highly recommend Xiucai's explanation. You can find them if you need it.
The first time I went to Beijing to travel, of course I went to the Forbidden City Museum! ! ! So I booked a local travel agency and explained the whole process. It was really great. The lecturer who led us was a lecturer in Jingzhuangyuanlin. He knew the Forbidden City like his palm. When he asked questions, he could answer them and learn a lot of historical knowledge. The Forbidden City is quite majestic. Next time I come or recommend it to a friend, I will still find a lecturer in Jing Zhuangyuanlin.
Xiucai said that Qi Dao contacted us one day in advance to meet the time and place. The explanation of the Forbidden City the next day was very meticulous, caring, there were many children in the group, the history stories and traditional culture were particularly wonderful, and it took more than 3 hours without knowing it. It is highly recommended.
Must give a good review, the weather is very good, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the tour guide explains, the gush, like a number of Zhen, the service is intimate, the detailed explanation, the itinerary is reasonable, did not live up to my expectations, the first visit to the Forbidden City is very perfect, Xiucai said that the Sun Guide is really good and great. [strong][strong][strong]
Xiucai said that Li guide took us to visit the Forbidden City in a limited time. It was a very enterprising experience. From the initial worry, I met the boring and rigid guide. I didn't expect to listen to Li guide's explanation. It seems to have an immersive feeling. It is worth recommending. Five-star ⭐ praise!
A place of interest and monument very suitable for bringing children, hehehe, the second time I brought my brother. I have been here twice in total, and I haven’t seen it every time. I still have to work out and work hard to strengthen my strength. I will look at it carefully for the next four hours. Come on.
