Hotel: Palace?Hotel
Number of days: 3 days
After deciding on Beijing as your destination, first book a hotel in Beijing. The main factors that affect hotel prices are location, hotel grade, and whether breakfast is included.
?
Evaluation of the hotel: The hotel rooms are decorated in light wood color with white color. The hotel decoration is simple and elegant, and the overall style is very similar to the All Seasons Hotel.
In terms of service, it can be said that everything is answered. For example: after I drink the water in the room, I will basically ask for 6-8 more bottles of purified water every day, which are free. I brought children to stay, and the hotel can provide children's toothbrushes and toothpaste, as well as children's slippers.
?
As for breakfast, there are not many kinds of food, only 45 kinds with breakfast. Recommended foods are wontons and siomai. There are about 20 kinds of small ingredients in Chaos. Siomai is slightly sweet. These are semi-finished products, but they taste pretty good.
Regarding the hotel's attitude towards handling problems: I am basically satisfied with this. There was water dripping from the top of the sink. It was 11 o'clock in the evening, and we did not accept room changes or repairs. We hope the hotel will provide a compensation plan. The hotel offered a free one-night stay, which I could accept. The hotel did not evade responsibility or shirk its responsibility and was very proactive in thinking and responding. For a quasi-four-standard hotel, this is worthy of recognition.
Details: The hotel is equipped with band-aids, robot waiters, disposable face towels, electric curtains, and electric alarm clocks (only electric flushing function, no flushing function).

Regarding the itinerary plan:
We took the high-speed train from Zhengzhou East to Beijing West at around 8 a.m. The time to arrive in Beijing is around 12 noon. We took a taxi to the Temple of Heaven. There is an area in west Beijing called P15, which is dedicated to online car-hailing pick-ups. This design is very good and it is very convenient to book a taxi. The driving time from Beijing West to the Temple of Heaven is about 35 minutes. We entered from the south gate of the Temple of Heaven. The approximate tour time of the Temple of Heaven is 2.5 hours.

On the first day, we had a child and luggage, so the tour slowed down. We entered through the south gate and exited through the north gate without going back. Traveling with luggage is a bit hard, but the good thing is that you don’t have to go back. If you store your luggage at the South Gate, we will go back to the South Gate to pick up your luggage after the tour. The children were quite tired on the first day, so we went back to the hotel after the Temple of Heaven.

The next day, I booked a one-day trip to Badaling along the Great Wall in advance. This one-day tour has two departure times, one departs from the meeting place at 7:30, and the other departs from the meeting place at 9:30. We chose the tour group that departed at 9:30 in the morning.
Regarding the Great Wall, I have been to the Mutianyu Great Wall before, and this time I went to the Badaling Great Wall. Mutianyu Great Wall: The vegetation is richer, and in terms of scenery, I can’t say which of the two places has better scenery. One thing worth reminding: You must wear pants and sneakers when climbing the Great Wall. There will be steep slopes.

On the third day, we set off at ten o'clock after checking out of the room. Recommended attractions: Prince Gong’s Mansion.
The overall feeling of this attraction is relatively leisurely, especially the garden part in the second half. Most of the TV series "Huan Zhu?Pricess" were filmed in Prince Kung's Mansion. Prince Gong's Mansion was the original home of He Shen. The restoration was very meticulous, but everyone knew that the man did not have a good death. The original plan below was to talk about Tiananmen Square and Jingshan Park. There is a viewing point in Jingshan Park overlooking the Forbidden City. The scenery is particularly good. Another reminder, Tiananmen Square also requires reservations in advance, and you cannot enter through temporary reservations.
After the tour, it is also the high-speed rail return. Another suggestion for everyone is that if the trip is within 800 kilometers, we recommend high-speed rail, and if the trip is more than 800 kilometers, consider flying. The main considerations are comfort and convenience.
This guide mainly emphasizes truthfulness and practicality.
