Beijing Vacation Packages - Best Flight & Hotel Deals

I always thought Beijing was synonymous with grandeur and solemnity, until I stepped into Gubei Water Town. Here, there is no city hustle and bustle, only the sound of time slowing down. If you yearn for the kind of life where "everything moves slower," you must add this place to your travel list. Here, I found the ideal way to travel: • 🛶 A Jiangnan Dream on a Rowboat: Sitting at the bow of the boat, watching the shimmering water reflect the gray tiles and blue bricks on both sides. Although located in the north, it feels as if you've stepped into the gentle charm of misty Jiangnan. • 🚠 A Visual Feast from the Panoramic Cable Car: As the cable car slowly ascends, the view transitions from the exquisite ancient town to the majestic mountains. Seeing the Simatai Great Wall stretch across the ridges like a giant dragon is an indescribable awe-inspiring experience! • 🐱 Little Joys to Capture: The most delightful surprise was encountering cats at the Simatai Great Wall. They basked lazily in the sun on benches, sleeping soundly, as if reminding us that life should be this relaxed and carefree. 💡 Enfi's Private Travel Tips: 1. Stay until evening: Gubei Water Town is at its most beautiful at dusk. When the lights gradually illuminate, the entire town transforms into a glowing ancient city. The romance is absolutely worth staying overnight for. 2. Nighttime Great Wall Experience: Walking along the wall with a lantern in hand, overlooking the lights below, you'll truly feel that life is worth it. 📍 Location: Gubei Water Town / Simatai Great Wall

📌The Summer Palace, also known as Yiheyuan Park, is the largest imperial garden in Beijing and all of China that has been preserved to this day. The park covers an area of nearly 300 hectares. 📌What to see? • Ren Shou Dian Pavilion, located at the eastern gate. It serves as the centerpiece of the ensemble. This is where rulers conducted their state affairs. The pavilion is surrounded by black stones, symbolizing guards. • The Long Corridor. It connects numerous structures situated on the northern shore of the lake. • Fo Xiang Ge Temple. To reach it, you need to climb either side of Pai Yun Dian, pass through De Hui Dian Temple, and ascend about a hundred steps. This temple is a true symbol of the park. From its grounds, you can enjoy a stunning view of the Zhong Lun Cang Palace. Additionally, you can marvel at the incredible beauty of the Copper Pavilion, which required over 200 tons of metal for its construction. 🎫Tickets: 60 yuan/adult 🕐Opening hours: 6:30 AM - 6:00 PM. It's best to visit in the morning when most tourists are still asleep, and local residents are not in a rush to relax so early.

There is a cafe in Beijing where your orders sound like a cleaning list. Here you can order a blue coffee served with the bottle of laundry detergent or a cake in shape of either sponge or a soap.

The cafe is located on the third floor of Mansion mall and has a shop inside too, so you won’t miss it. 📍Pink Dojo Market 3.3 Mansion, No.33, Sanlitun Road #uniquecafe #beijing #beijingcafe

The duck meat in pancakes is simply a masterpiece. 2. 南门涮肉 🍲 Everyone gets their own mini hot pot.

Authentic taste at affordable prices. 7. 茶汤李 🍵 Tea soup and glutinous porridge: with raisins, candied fruits, and other toppings, not overly sweet. Meat pies are crispy, hot, and juicy. 8. 河沿肉饼 🌮 Meat pies: thin dough with generous filling. The beef pie is so juicy it soaks the dough.
