Beijing! A citywalk route that never gets old!

Traveling in Beijing in autumn, one thing you must do or you'll regret it is exploring the hutongs!!!!!! . Below is my favorite hutong walk route Take photos of red walls and grey tiles 📷, visit small shops 🍃, climb rooftops for coffee ☕️, and finally have a meal at a bistro 🍷. In the crisp autumn weather ☁️, you can walk this route countless times without getting bored. . 🚶🏼Specific route: Ditan Park → Yonghe Temple → Wudaoying Hutong → Guozijian Hutong → Andingmen Inner Street ⏳Time: Half a day to a full day . ① See Ditan as described by Shi Tiesheng Take photos of the layered red walls and yellow tiles at Fangze Altar See the 'sea' 🌊 of Ditan next to the croquet court Take photos of tree shadows on the red walls around Shenma Hall . ② Absorb the incense at Yonghe Temple If you want to pray, go early 🎋 If you want a quiet stroll, go around 3-4 PM (entry stops at 4:30 PM) By then, the crowds have thinned out Sitting on the steps, smelling the incense is very calming 💆🏻 . ③ Climb rooftops at Wudaoying Hutong Although there aren't many interesting shops left There are also fewer people 🌱 It has a bit of a shabby, lazy, and relaxed vibe You can sit on the rooftop of Wutong Café The owner is very friendly, and the coffee is good . ④ Experience the former highest academy at Guozijian Chengxian Street in front of Guozijian is the only street in Beijing with a paifang (archway) The locust trees on both sides of the street are very tall 🌳 The lush green against the red walls makes for great photos There are also a few cafés on the street Town House, in particular, features Nordic style You can have a rare Swedish afternoon tea 🫖 . ⑤ Have a drink on Andingmen Inner Street After Guozijian, you'll reach Andingmen Street There are many charming bistro-style shops along this street 🥂 After walking for most of the day, it's a good place to have a meal and rest Here are three places I've tried and liked, you can give them a try: ▪️Sparrow ▪️The Diner ▪️Uhhuh
