Who says Beijing in summer is only about the heat? Those who truly understand the city actually love spending June and July afternoons exploring hutongs, shaded alleys, and ancient libraries, discovering Beijing’s best-kept "cool" secrets. 1⃣ Dongjiaominxiang (Old Legation Quarter) – A "European Corner" Under the Trees Location: Dongcheng District, adjacent to Tiananmen’s east side 🚇 Transport: 8-minute walk from Qianmen Station (Line 2) 🧭 This is China’s only well-preserved cluster of Western-style embassy buildings. In summer, the tree-lined streets filter sunlight beautifully. Unlike the bustling Nanluoguxiang, it’s perfect for quiet strolls. Red-brick walls, carved windows, and old tram tracks exude history. Walking from the former French Post Office to the Belgian Legation feels like time-traveling between colonial Europe and Republican-era China—especially magical at dusk. 2⃣ National Museum of Classic Books – Where the AC Outshines the Literature Location: Inside the National Library East Branch, Haidian District 🎫 Admission: Free (book via official WeChat mini-program) 🚇 Transport: Direct access from National Library Station (Line 4) 🧭 A low-key but intellectually rich museum showcasing oracle bones, Dunhuang manuscripts, rare Ming-Qing texts, and the *Yongle Encyclopedia*. The silence here is profound—ideal for reading and cooling down (literally, bring a jacket—the AC is intense). 3⃣ Beijing Botanical Garden’s Water Lily Pond – Monet’s Garden IRL Location: At the foot of Fragrant Hills, inside Beijing Botanical Garden 🎫 Ticket: ¥10 (some greenhouses cost extra) 🕰 Best time: Blooms start in June; peak mid-July to early August 🚇 Transport: 5-minute walk from Botanical Garden Station (Xijiao Line) 🧭 Every summer, the aquatic plant area transforms into a dreamy water lily paradise—pink, white, and purple blossoms glistening under the sun. Few visitors mean unobstructed photo ops. Nearby shaded trails offer fragrant, breezy walks with cicada serenades. 4⃣ Liulichang Cultural Street × Hutong Branches – Old Beijing’s Slow-Life Stage Location: Near Hepingmen, Xicheng District 🚇 Transport: Short walk from Hepingmen Station (Line 2) 🧭 This "scholars’ street" is lined with antique shops and calligraphy stores, more authentic than Panjiayuan. Summer afternoons here feature elders repairing brushes, kids with popsicles, and deep hutong vibes. Explore side alleys like Xidamochang or Zhangzizhong Hutongs for Republican-era architecture—perfect for sketching or daydreaming. 5⃣ Beihang University Campus – An Urban Oasis Location: Xueyuan Road, Haidian District 🚇 Transport: 15-minute walk from Zhichunlu Station (Line 10) 🧭 The spacious campus is a canopy of phoenix and ginkgo trees, staying cool even at noon. With students away in summer, it’s serene for walks, reading, or admiring aerospace exhibits. Evening breezes and campus broadcasts create unmatched ambiance. 📎 Final Notes If winter calls for hot *douzhi* in hutongs, summer in Beijing is about finding quiet, cool corners to savor the city’s unhurried beauty. String these 5 spots together for a locals-approved micro-getaway.

📍Itinerary Introduction Day 1️⃣—MUJI Hotel➡️Jingshan➡️Shichahai ❇️Capital Airport Line👍 Take the Airport Line from the airport and transfer to another line. Muji is right opposite Qianmen Station. It is convenient and there is no traffic jam. The fare is 25 yuan, and those under 1.3 meters are free. ❇️Jingshan I originally planned to climb the mountain to see the Forbidden City, and the guide said that I could quickly reach the top by entering from the west gate~ 💣Took a taxi from the hotel, the driver said there was a restriction and we could only park nearby, so we drove around for half an hour and got off the car and drove for nearly an hour before we arrived at Jingshan😮💨 ❇️Shichahai The original plan was to have dinner at Shichahai and stroll around, but it turned out to be the driver's favorite Old Beijing Shabu Shabu 💣We took a taxi from Jingshan to Shichahai, and the driver said it was under control, and asked if we wanted to eat. He kept introducing Old Beijing Shabu Shabu, and asked him to stop at the nearest subway station. He also said that we couldn't get in after queuing for half an hour at the subway station, so we ended up going to Shabu Shabu😡 💣The soup base of the shabu shabu is spicy, and it costs 50 yuan to switch to clear soup😒, you know the taste 🙂↕️, then I read the comments and found that there were many people who had the same experience as us😮💨 Day 2️⃣ Great Hall of the People➡️Tiananmen➡️National Grand Theater➡️Dashilan➡️Four Seasons Folk Entertainment ❇️All attractions around Tiananmen Square require reservations. It is easy to make reservations for the National People's Congress and the square. If you can't make reservations for the National Museum, just buy exhibition tickets. It is very difficult to make reservations for the city tower. The above are all just following the crowd. The security check takes nearly an hour. It will be faster if you don’t bring a bag‼ ️Remember to bring your ID card‼ ️ ❇️National Grand Theatre👍 Direct subway access, free performances and explanations, architectural design, few people to take photos Day 3️⃣ Mutianyu Great Wall➡️Bird's Nest & Water Cube➡️Yuxiandu➡️Youbang Hotel ❇️ Mutianyu Great Wall 👍 There are few people and beautiful scenery. Take the cable car to No. 14 and then go to No. 6 to play on the slide. It's quite fun! ❇️Yuxiandu👍 Palace banquet, several hours of time travel, makeup, performances, atmosphere~ ❇️Beijing Youbang Hotel In Haidian District, the new hotel is clean and has family rooms~ Day 4️⃣ Summer Palace ➡️Tsinghua University ➡️Wukesong Business District ❇️Summer Palace 🧑🧑🧒🧒There are so many people that it is difficult to take a photo. Please ask the tour guide to explain, professional and high-quality👍 ❇️Tsinghua University Appointment is required.

The moment you push open the vermilion gate, it feels like stepping back in time to old Beijing. 📌Hotel Environment: A boutique hotel converted from a traditional courtyard house, preserving authentic architectural features. The courtyard is planted with pomegranate trees that bloom with fiery red flowers in summer. Rooms feature minimalist neo-Chinese style with solid wood furniture and elegant fabrics, adorned with ink paintings at the bedside, exuding refined taste everywhere. 🚕Transportation: Located in a Dongcheng District hutong, about 8 minutes walk from Zhangzizhonglu Station (Line 5). Approximately 15 minutes by taxi to the Forbidden City, and just 10 minutes walk to Nanluoguxiang. Exploring surrounding hutongs by shared bike is highly recommended for a more authentic experience. 💰Value: Regular rates range between 800-1200 yuan, slightly higher during holidays. Compared to international chain hotels in the same area, this offers more authentic Beijing living at excellent value. 🛌About the Hotel: 1⃣ Premium cotton-linen bedding with optional soft/firm pillows for excellent sleep quality 2⃣ Custom herbal toiletries in bathrooms with subtle mugwort fragrance 3⃣ Breakfast features authentic Beijing snacks like sweet baked cakes and fermented bean juice 4⃣ Front desk can arrange special activities like hutong tours and Peking opera experiences 5⃣ Rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of traditional gray-tiled roofs - perfect for sunset viewing 🏙Nearby Attractions Guide: 10-minute walk to Nanluoguxiang (best visited at dusk). 15-minute walk west to Jingshan Park for panoramic Forbidden City views. Nearby Wudaoying Hutong hides many artistic shops and cafes. For authentic Beijing cuisine, try Xinhe Restaurant (8-minute walk) famous for its zhajiang noodles. For the Forbidden City, arrive before 8am to avoid crowds.

Traveling to Beijing was truly a bittersweet experience 😭 I didn't plan my route in advance, so when I arrived in Beijing, I was like a headless fly, wanting to go here one moment and there the next, resulting in wasting most of my time on the road. I also didn't check the opening hours of attractions beforehand, so I traveled all that way only to find they were closed—it was heartbreaking. Plus, I randomly picked a restaurant near a tourist site to eat, and the food was both expensive and terrible—I was completely miserable. But! Beijing is amazing, with deep historical heritage and a strong modern vibe. There are so many delicious foods and fun activities that you can never explore enough! Here's how to enjoy Beijing in May without any regrets~ Day 1: Arrive in Beijing → Sanlitun → Taste Beijing snacks Arrive in Beijing in the morning. I recommend choosing Beijing Capital International Airport as it's close to the city center with convenient transportation. Take the airport express train and transfer to the subway to your hotel. Staying near Xidan is ideal—transportation is convenient with everything you need in one place 🐉. After dropping off your luggage, visit Sanlitun for some shopping. It's fashionable and lively, filled with trendy shops and beautiful people, plus plenty of Instagram-worthy photo spots 📸. When you get tired, try some Beijing snacks like "baodu" (tripe) and "luzhu" (braised offal). They're delicious and will instantly make you fall in love with the city's vibrant atmosphere. Day 2: Tiananmen Square → Forbidden City → Jingshan Park Get up early, leaving around 4 AM to watch the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square. In May, the sun rises early, so arrive early to get a good spot. Remember not to bring lighters, selfie sticks, etc., as security is strict. After the ceremony, you can visit the Memorial Hall to pay respects to Chairman Mao (dress appropriately and remain quiet). Next, visit the Forbidden City. Arrive before 9 AM to see the three main halls along the central axis before the tour groups arrive. Get an audio guide to better understand the history and stories of the palace. After exiting the Forbidden City, go to Jingshan Park. Enter through the side gate, and within 10 minutes of climbing the stairs, you'll reach Wanchun Pavilion, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Forbidden City. Day 3: Badaling Great Wall → Olympic Park In the morning, take subway Line 2 to Jishuitan Station, exit from Gate A or B, and walk to Deshengmen Bus Station. Take bus 877 directly to Badaling Great Wall (fare: 12 yuan). Once at the Great Wall, I recommend hiking up for the best experience of its magnificence, though cable cars are available if you get tired. Be sure to visit Haohan Slope for a photo op. Standing on the beacon tower and looking into the distance gives you an incredible sense of achievement. In the afternoon, return from the Great Wall and visit Olympic Park to see the Bird's Nest and Water Cube. During the day, you can admire their unique architectural designs, and at night when they're lit up, the red Bird's Nest and blue Water Cube create a beautiful contrast for photos. There are many food courts nearby where you can treat yourself to a nice meal. Day 4: Summer Palace → Old Summer Palace → Tsinghua and Peking Universities (photo stops) From your hotel, take subway Line 4 to Beigongmen Station and enter the Summer Palace through the North Palace Gate to avoid crowds. First, take a boat ride to the Stone Boat, enjoying the lake breeze and scenery along the way—it's incredibly relaxing. Then walk along the Long Corridor, where each painting has a story behind it. Listen to the audio guide while viewing them—it's fascinating. You can climb up to the Tower of Buddhist Incense for a panoramic view of the entire Summer Palace, but there are many stairs, so wear comfortable shoes. Exit from the East Gate of the Summer Palace, then take a taxi (about 15 yuan) to the Old Summer Palace. Enter through the East Gate, which is close to the Western Mansions ruins, and visit the Grand Waterworks ruins to experience the historical changes. Afterward, go to Tsinghua University's West Gate and Peking University's East Gate for photos. Although you can't enter the campuses, it's still nice to experience the atmosphere of these top universities from the gates. Day 5: Temple of Heaven Park → Return Home In the morning, visit the Temple of Heaven Park. Buy the 34-yuan combo ticket and enter from the South Gate. First, go to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests—the morning light is perfect for photographing the red walls and blue tiles. Be sure to experience the Echo Wall too; standing at specific spots, you can actually hear echoes from the opposite side—it's magical. After touring the Temple of Heaven, enjoy a traditional Beijing hot pot meal nearby with freshly sliced lamb and sesame sauce—it's absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to your Beijing trip. After the meal, pack your bags and prepare for your return journey.

Follow number 2 on the last map 🚕 Where did Didi call to drop you off? - East side of Beichizi Road/Nanchizi street (intersection) 🇨🇳 What's inside the palace? - Before entering the palace, it is recommended to enter on the right side. It seems that the left side is the entrance for tour groups. - Scan your bags, huge queues, scan your passports to enter, very convenient. - Inside, the palace is truly magnificent. - I don't know how to describe it, walking through it makes you even more wow. - Personally, I am amazed by the grandeur of this place. It is worth the 40 yuan ticket per person. - The restrooms are mostly in both wings or near the left and right doors. There are quite a few of them and they are clean. The signs are quite clear. 🥪 The restaurant inside or the palace museum restaurant. - The menu will be bread, sausage, hot chocolate or hot milk. - The seats are musical chairs. If you go at noon, it might be a bit chaotic. - The taste of the food is considered delicious, both bread and sausage. The price is a bit high. Choose according to your preference. ———————————— Jingshan Park Viewpoint ———————————— Jingshan Park Forbidden City Viewpoint, entrance fee 2 yuan. 📍How to get to Jingshan Park - You can walk out of the Forbidden City through the north gate (you can only exit). - You cannot call Didi to get off or return directly from the front. You have to call to the upper right corner of the Forbidden City as shown in the last picture. 🌲Inside the garden - Once you enter, the viewpoint for going up the hill is in the middle. You can go up the left side, which will be a staircase. It is recommended to walk up the right side. It is mostly a slope. There are fewer stairs. - The walking distance is about 1.5 kilometers, counting from the right side, up the hill, and walking counterclockwise. - At the top, you can see a very magnificent view of the palace. There will be a mark for taking pictures on the ground. ———————————— Temple of Heaven ———————————— Temple of Heaven Park, Beijing 🇨🇳 The entrance fee to the garden is 10 yuan, and the top is 20 yuan. If you pay at the entrance, it will be 28 yuan. The garden outside the walkway has a very beautiful view. The atmosphere is very shady. There are also restrooms along the way.

In the middle of Beijing, it's perfect for foodies. It's a great place to take pictures and shoppers will definitely love it ❤️ Get on the Metro at Jinyu Hutong Station, Exit C, and you'll see APM Mall.

Take Didi instead. 😬 I must say that this street is very colorful at night. I ate 2 meals at APM and it is a mall with not many people. You can walk around and have fun. But if you are a brand name shopper, you must come to WF Central, you will definitely like it. Coordinates: Metro Jinyu Hutong Station Exit C and Metro Wangfujing Station (Line 8, both stations)

It was my first time at Migas Mercado and it completely lived up to the hype. Located on the rooftop of China World Mall, it offers stunning views of Beijing’s skyline, especially gorgeous at sunset. We ordered the T-bone steak to share, and it was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and generous in portion. The tapas were also a highlight, fresh ingredients, great variety, and ideal for sharing. The vibe is lively yet relaxed, with a great mix of locals and expats. Whether you’re visiting for date night, dinner with friends, or drinks with a view, Migas hits the mark on food, atmosphere, and service. You can DM the restaurant on IG to make reservations prior coming to get table outside right by where those photos were taken. #beijing #dateideas #foodie

After going once... I really hope all playgrounds have this kind of service. 🤣 It's such a relief for moms!!! The venue is huge, with 2️⃣0️⃣+ play options, all included in one ticket. Trampolines, rock climbing, plum blossom piles, sponge pools, ball pits, rainbow slides, climbing nets, 360° loop bikes, etc. Kids are silent when they play, draining their energy 💯 Each area has staff to watch over the kids. Safety is guaranteed, and they will also play with the children. Freeing up parents, super nice～ Kids over 1.2m tall 🉑 can enter alone. With the wristband, you can enter and exit multiple times on the same day. Parents can visit Wanda Plaza and Outlets nearby. Eating and shopping at the same time! ✨Meng Vitality Training Camp 📍Address: Meng Vitality Trampoline Park, North Side of Ledo Port Marriott Hotel, Changping District, Beijing 🕙Opening hours: Weekdays 10:00–19:00; Weekends 10:00–21:00

I recently stayed at the InterContinental Beijing Beichen and it was truly unforgettable! The hotel's comfort and beautiful surroundings made me feel very relaxed. 🏨✨ The room was spacious and very clean, which gave me a great rest every night. I would especially like to mention the swimming pool and fitness room, which are first-class facilities and allow me to stay active during my trip! 🏊♂️💪 Whether it's for leisure or fitness, this place is perfect! Definitely a recommended accommodation option! ❤️ #Beijing Beichen InterContinental Hotel #travel #comfort #beauty #fitness #unforgettableexperience
