From September 28 to October 6, participate in the offline punch-in event at Tanzhe Temple, Jietai Temple, and Guya Village scenic spots, with 100 boxes given out each morning and afternoon, first come first served! ✅ Jinyu Glaze Cultural Industry Park The site of the royal imperial kilns of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, it has continued the firing tradition for nearly a thousand years and is also the first intangible cultural heritage theme park in Beijing that retains production functions, continuously supplying glazed products for royal buildings such as the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and Summer Palace. On both sides of the Ridge Beast Avenue are glazed products from royal buildings, displaying the same specifications, order, and quantity of the phoenix-riding immortals and ten eave corner beasts as those in the Forbidden City. Entering the Glaze Museum, you are instantly attracted by the dazzling colors of various glazes. Hanging overhead is a part of the roofs of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Central Harmony, and Hall of Preserving Harmony, showcasing the grandeur of the three halls from the perspective of glaze. In the display cabinets on both sides, you can see many glazed components from the Ming and Qing periods. It is recommended to stay in the Liuguang Lishuo in the park, where the characteristic glaze elements are cleverly integrated into the space design. Staying in the artisan-designed rooms, you can deeply appreciate the beauty of glaze. ✅ Guya Village If you want to experience the joy of the countryside and deeply experience farming culture, you must come to Guya Village. My favorite here is the Little Valley Playground, where the childhood tricycles become decorations full of nostalgia. Climbing trees and nets here is like traveling back to a carefree childhood. Walking in Guya Village, listening to the red songs and old songs from the 50s and 60s, and eating the Grain Barn Feast directly harvested from the countryside, it's like stepping into a nostalgic era drama! The Farming Museum categorizes the farming of various eras in China. With a collection of over a hundred thousand farming tools, the exhibits cover the entire farming development process and cultural changes of the Yongding River basin, completely restoring the vivid scroll of farming life where people were self-sufficient and well-fed. ✅ Yongding River Cultural Museum The museum is currently exhibiting the precious stone carving exhibition 'Western Hills Memory, Yongding Stone Language', with more than 80 stone carvings, more than 40 rubbings, and a batch of precious historical photos, telling the little-known historical stories of Mentougou. Through the stone carvings, we can communicate with the ancients, understanding the legal system and aesthetic tastes of the past. ✅ Shang'an Subway Station The subway station that has gone viral, many postgraduate exam candidates come here to check in for good luck in their exams! ✅ Lingshan Green Product Station Here you can find many travel souvenirs characteristic of West Beijing!
