The right way to open Chaoyang Park
Chaoyang Park, Beijing's second largest park
Chaoyang Park, formerly known as ShuiDuiZi Park, was built in 1984, with a total area of 288.7 hectares, is a comprehensive, multi-functional large-scale cultural and recreational park with a focus on landscaping. It is not only a national 4A level scenic spot, but also the largest city park within the fourth ring road of Beijing.
Chaoyang Park is divided into eight different zones, including the central activity zone, sports and cultural activity zone, and ecological and science popularization zone, with a main north-south axis and two east-west auxiliary axes as its skeleton.
Unlike the city of Beijing, which is steeped in history and culture, Chaoyang Park is not linked to history and culture in any way, but is purely a place for recreation for the public, and is very much grounded (and even a little bit earthy.) It is a place for the public to relax, and it is a place for the public to relax.
But the good thing is, Chaoyang Park is huge.
No need to worry about "want to enjoy the flowers, see all the people", "want to run, half an hour to run the whole field", "want to take a break, but always can not find the open space" This kind of situation occurs. Throw people to Chaoyang Park, instantly can not be found.
The location of Chaoyang Park is also quite good, the surrounding subway station bus stops are complete, and adjacent to the Blue Harbor, after strolling out of the park can eat a meal.
The right way to open Chaoyang Park
01/"Chaoyang people" are here
Chaoyang Park is the favorite place for "Chaoyang people" to hang out after a meal, practicing tai chi, dancing for a while, and then going to the wedding corner. The park is a favorite place for the "Chaoyang people" to hang out after dinner, practicing Tai Chi, dancing in the square, and going to the dating corner to take a look at the stars who may come here for a run.
In 2012, Chaoyang Park became a hit because of the label "dating resort". But there's also a good chance you'll meet a celebrity here - after all, there are plenty of high-class international apartments in the area.
The "Chaoyang crowd" certainly wouldn't want to miss this place, which is full of "information".
02/Walking is the way to go
If you ask me, walking in Chaoyang Park is the way to go. As a national 4A park, Chaoyang Park has a very high percentage of vegetation.
Since the last time I took a taxi to Zhongshan Park and was asked by the driver, "What's a young girl doing there, don't you all go to the mall?", I've wondered why.
When I took a taxi to Zhongshan Park, the driver asked me, "What are you doing there?
But when it comes to parks, especially Chaoyang Park, the image of a Beijing man spinning 360 degrees on a gym machine, and a woman dancing day and night, quickly comes to mind.
03/Have a "monster run"
The "little monster" in Chaoyang Park is a secret discovered by those who run in Chaoyang Park all year round. The path formed a hidden small monster state, so this run is also known as "brush monster run" by runners.
Because of its size, Chaoyang Park is very suitable for running, and in 2015, together with Ossen Park, it was named the country's Top 10 Running Places of the Year.
In addition, Chaoyang Park's running facilities are very humane, with four different lengths of runways, and street lamps are set up at intervals of 30 meters to make it convenient for fitness runners to run at night.
04/ This is Beijing's "lungs"
The Ecological Water Stream is located in the northern green area of Chaoyang Park, where a stream valley is naturally formed between the hills. The area is planted with a variety of plants, including sequoias and weeping willows, and there are wooden bridges and pavilions on the water for visitors to rest and stroll.
The park's significance to the city goes beyond providing recreation for its citizens.
Large areas of green space and water will make the surrounding air contain more negative air ions and oxygen. Like New York's Central Park, which provides an urban oasis for Manhattan, it is known as the city's "green lung".
Chaoyang Park is the same for Beijing, with 68.2 hectares of water and five lakes. When you open the map, you will find that the largest water area in Beijing's fourth ring road is the central lake in Chaoyang Park.
05/Low-cost Netflix spot
Walking in from the south gate of Chaoyang Park, you can see a row of white European-style corridors and rainbow fountains, a spot that has attracted a lot of Netflix to take photos.
After all, the entrance fee is only 5 yuan, so you can take as many pictures as you want.
06/"Wind of Doom" playground
The playground in Chaoyang Park is very special, a feeling that only those who have seen it with their own eyes will understand. There are jumping jacks and pirate ships in disrepair, as well as sculptures of wildly misbehaving dolls everywhere.
The double-decker merry-go-round is probably the ride that looks most like it would be in a playground in Chaoyang Park. The lawn near the south gate is the most recommended, as it not only faces the center lake, but also has a good view of the white European-style buildings.
｜｜Boating｜｜
The lakes in Chaoyang Park, also known as the "lungs of Beijing", have a variety of boats parked at the docks, and the breeze blowing through them is very cozy and comfortable.
｜｜Playground｜｜
There are many other amusement facilities in Chaoyang Park, such as the sledgehammer, the pirate ship, the haunted house, the merry-go-round, etc. But some of them are already a bit old and have been closed for the time being. But some of them are a bit old and closed for the time being.
Besides that, there are also theme parks, such as Lego Town, Sony Dreams Technology Museum, and Parent-Child Zoo, which are very suitable for children to play together.
｜｜Book Market｜｜
Since 2014, the former Ditan Book Market has been moved to Chaoyang Park and renamed Beijing Book Market. It has grown in size since then, and is held annually to allow books to "flow," so new and used books are available at discounted prices.
The International Festival in Chaoyang Park, also known as the Western Temple Fair, is held during the Spring Festival holiday every year and features international performances, specialty foods, game carnivals and circuses.
Chaoyang Park is so large that it's hard to get through the whole thing
It's recommended to plan your route in advance and allow plenty of time
You can take a walk around the lake, have a picnic on the lawn and relax
There are also a variety of rides
Great for kids to go and play in
Beijing's bookstores
The so-called bookstores in Beijing are, of course, the ones I've visited and read, and they are the ones that I've been to for a long time. Of course, I shopped, reading and buying books is really everyone has their own different characteristics, preferences are also different. For me, I bought some books, than on the far less than the next but also Yu, bought often thrown aside, see is not much, shopping in the bookstore is mainly an idle around to cultivate the habit. Come to Beijing for more than ten years, sometimes bored to come out to wander around, since it is wandering, always without purpose, long time to feel confused, so, to bookstore for each trip theme, it is not so boring, wander around the process therefore has a goal and meaning. On the way to meet acquaintances asked what to do, back to say to visit the bookstore to go, but also quite a quality. Of course, I often go back and forth to the bookstore is always so fixed a few bookstores, the following might as well pick up the memory of the place, counting the number of fingers, maybe a friend from abroad occasionally come to Beijing, have time to want to visit a bookstore, can be a little reference. Here to explain is that I buy books to literature, history, philosophy and social sciences as the main, and other miscellaneous books are interesting to flip, but are usually look at the book, basically no version of the study of cultural relics collection of nature, that belongs to the play book, play book is a luxury thing, the general public can not afford to play, and occasionally buy a set of China Bookstore online to re-revision of the limited edition of the hardcover of "the Records of the Grand Historian", and that's because of the love of the "Records of the Grand Historian" itself only.
Frequent bookstores are:
One, Xinhua Bookstore. There are about four large bookstores in Beijing Xinhua Bookstore, including Wangfujing Book Building, Xidan Book Building, Zhongguancun Book Building and Asian Games Village Book Building. In addition, there is a higher education bookstore on College Road, Chengfu intersection, Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, a foreign bookstore, and other distribution of an unknown number of streets Xinhua Bookstore stores. A lot of cultural circles can not see the Xinhua Bookstore, that is not surprising, the state-run industry monopoly bookstore is really not much temperament, can be criticized such as: the types of books are messy, more than fine, teaching aids rampant, etc., but no way, no matter what, talking about China's bookstores can not be ignored the Xinhua Bookstore system, and as a science and technology people, some natural science textbooks and other practical books, generally Xinhua Bookstore's I don't hate Xinhua bookstores myself. I myself do not hate Xinhua bookstores, but not every one of them like, Beijing's several bookstores, the most often go to the Zhongguancun bookstore, perhaps because of the location in the Zhongguancun, close to various universities and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so in these several, whether the book classification or book environment, are the best. Asian Games Village Book Building opened the latest, but because of the former school and now not far from the place of work, will occasionally go shopping, the biggest advantage of this bookstore is less people, quiet. Bookstore most taboo noise and crowding, less than the variety of books to life, so Beijing every year in the book market in Ditan almost do not go, nothing good books, not to mention, but also crowded with the same as the temple fair, I do not know what mood to let people buy a book, probably a lot of people are holding the attitude of the Chinese cabbage to go. Also because of the crowd, and the environment is messy, plus far away in the business district, so Xidan and Wangfujing book building almost do not go. Xinhua Bookstore to do the membership card is convenient, discounts are not as strong as before, but in the physical bookstore is also considered the most can.
Two, China Bookstore. China Bookstore sells old books, there are high-end collection of old books, but the store is more recycled up around the general old books, mobility is great, every once in a while to go around, there may be inexpensive favorite books can be panned a few books, it's fun. China Bookstore has a number of stores, Dengshikou stores, in line five between Dongsi Station and Dengshikou Station, a relatively large area, the number of old books, a lot of books spine up yards in the middle of the store on a few large platforms, look up extremely comfortable; Xinjiekou stores, not far from the subway line four Xinjiekou station, a relatively small area, but it seems that many of the old books in the wire, that number of the nature of the collection is not what I care; Longfusi Department from the lampshade reluctant, size similar to the Xinjiekou Department, the previous cheap books quite a lot, but has been gone, demolished; Liulichang Department, in Liulichang, selling antiques and paintings place, very few have been, very unfamiliar, not much of an impression; Xidan Department, along the west side of the Xidan Book Building, the d intersection has been to the north, has only been once or twice, a long time ago, not much of an impression; Zhongguancun Department. Zhongguancun Book Building across the road, the original Haidian Book City North, a very large bookstore, the first floor to sell new books of literature and history, as well as the four treasures, the second floor of the calligraphy and painting books mainly, the third floor of the sale of more expensive antique and old books, want to look for the general old books, then to go to the underground layer, a few years ago, not many underground old books, in the last two years it is quite rich, if there is the time and the mood, quite a bit to go and look for a poky.
Three, Wansheng Book Park. The bookstore is located in Wudaokou City Railway Station west of the blue flag camp. This article bookstore ranking is unfounded, in no particular order, perhaps in accordance with the Beijing academic and cultural circles in the bookstore's reputation and popularity, the Wansheng Book Park ranked first to be good, but I think I'm not academic enough, so I'm sorry to have to give it up. Reputation of the best cultural and academic bookstores naturally do not sell those unimpressive mass consumption of bestsellers, book selection and classification of their own set of standards for the target audience to screen high-quality books, to maintain the booth book update speed, which is why many people like this bookstore will often walk Wansheng Book Park reasons. The bookstore is famous, but it is a niche bookstore with good management, many hardcore fans, and probably good profits, so I hope it will get better and better. I got a Wansheng membership card a long time ago, I forgot what the threshold is, but it must be lower than Sanlian Bookstore. The bookstore comes with a coffee shop, quite suitable for meeting people to talk about things, and if you are late for a date with a beautiful woman, you can browse the bookstore and not be too bored.
Four, Sanlian Bookstore. Subway Dongsi station west, east of the National Art Museum of China. A long time ago do not like to stroll, but these two years often go, back and forth countless times, why I can not say, probably convenient transportation and boredom, and also bought a lot of books sporadically, are full-price, I have always thought that the Sanlian Bookstore did not have a membership card, and then once in passing asked ah, replied that a purchase of books full of three hundred can be done to get a card, this condition I seldom reach, on the thought of doing a membership card is cut off. Although the same cultural and academic bookstore, but roughly feel and Wansheng Book Park book types are quite different. In the past, there were not many people in the Sanlian Bookstore, and then the 24-hour bookstore was suddenly popular, and it became a bit of an attraction, witnessing many young people gather at the Sanlian with their cameras, especially at night, but it seems to be much more quiet lately, and I don't know much about the situation late at night. Sanlian Bookstore specifically for their transformation into a twenty-four-hour bookstore out of a book, which collects a variety of related articles, prominently displayed, the feeling that the state-run unit is sometimes indeed interesting.
V. Commercial Press Hanfen Building. Sanlian Bookstore to the south, not far from the People's Art Theater. Hanfen building usually not many customers, very quiet, the first floor of the book a lot, as the Commercial Press Department, the quality of the books inside are good, not only the Commercial Press own books, but also many other large publishers of literature, history, philosophy and social science books. There is also a small bookstore in one corner of Hanfen Building, called Canran Bookstore, the China Bookstore's storefront department, which focuses on China Bookstore's history books.
Sixth, PageOne. foreign bookstore, have been to China World Trade Center and Sanlitun two, foreign language books are quite a lot of original books, novels most of the bar, you can stroll, Chinese books are not worth mentioning, and sell handmade products, in general, is not particularly big meaning, personal opinion.
Seven, other. North Normal University East Gate, diagonally across the north walk a bookstore called "Shengshi love", probably counts as a network of bookstore entity, the entrance is very small, before and an ambiguous face of the footbath store to share a door, and now seems to be next to a stationery store together. For many years, there is still a gate, now completely atrophied to the first floor, the ground floor is actually quite large, a lot of books, are some of the literature, history and social science books, if you are interested in shopping, a lot of the market is not very good to find. Yuquan Road, National Defense University compound south east of a bookstore, I do not know if there is now, there are new books also sell old books, you can shop. Beixinqiao subway station out of the northwest exit to the north, there is a small bookstore, mainly selling pirated copies, sin sin sin, individuals now rarely buy pirated copies, but will habitually shop. By the way, in the south of Chaoyang Park, sweet water garden street and the intersection of water cone in the street, there is a book wholesale market, a large scale, a lot of bookstores, selling a variety of books and periodicals, some stores specializing in literature, history and social sciences, you can shop. Ganjiakou east of the million Zhuang also has a million Zhuang book building, also quite large, but now it is rare to go there.
All in all, you can kill a lot of time by shopping in two directions: the Zhongguancun side, which includes the Zhongguancun Book Building, the China Bookstore, and the Wansheng Book Garden; or the Dongsi direction, which gathers the Sanlian Bookstore, Hanfenlou, and the Dengshikou China Bookstore.
The end of remembered some of the disappeared bookstore, some good, no quite a pity, some of them do not matter, no on no one. Such as, Zhongguancun Book Building opposite the third pole, a large bookstore, a lot of books, but placed quite messy, perhaps with the building structure, and Zhongguancun Book Building, spelled loss, regret; Haidian Book City, red for many years, computers, college entrance exams and research tutorials and the world of the English book, but it is also mixed with a few buy literature and history books store, there is a period of time in the first underground layer of the Amoy book commune, just opened, quite a few books can be amassed, and the bookstores have a lot of books. The bookstore has a few books that can be panned, and then started to sell books by the pound, this time can not go; Beida has a Wumi Supermarket, the first floor of the basement has a few small bookstores, selling discounted literature, history and social sciences books, it is very good, and then the Beida entrance to the door to check the card, it is not very much to go, and now it seems to be no longer it. Photosynthesis bookstore closed down, nothing to regret, feel later that is a stationery grocery store.
