환영합니다 Beijing
A very warm welcome to the InterContinental Beijing Financial Street. My concierge team and I are honoured to be at your service. Our aim is to exceed your expectations and we look forward to sharing our knowledge about the unique culture and traditions of Beijing.
InterContinental Beijing Financial Street was the first international upscale hotel in the western part of the prestigious business district. A magnificent 18-storey atrium, contemporary design and traditional Chinese art set it apart, as does the ideal location. Just minutes away are Tiananmen Square, Central Government Admministration area, Lane Crawford and Seasons Palace shopping centre.
오전It is a beautiful morning in Beijing! First, witness the early morning flag raising ceremony each day at sunrise in Tiananmen Square, one of the largest squares in the world; it's something you can't miss. Then you can walk along to the western edge of the square to the Great Hall of the People. Due to the square's scale it's a good place to watch the throng of Beijinese walking and riding their bicycles to work; it is a fascinating sight. Stroll through the maze of narrow alleys of the nearby Hutongs to get a better understanding of what an ancient Beijing was like. In one of these traditional courtyard homes, you can watch the residents as they prepare typical Beijinese dumplings. Try to make one yourself - it's a great fun. Finally, stroll through the historical Peking Opera Gardens and try some the traditional tea that you can find there. |
오후You can spend a whole afternoon in the Forbidden City (Imperial Palace) and be happily content, it has 9,999 buildings to explore, after all. Located to the north of Tiananmen Square in the heart of Beijing, it's the world's largest palace complex. Built in 1420, the Forbidden City has been the home to 24 emperors from the Ming and Qing dynasties (1644-1911) and is as fascinating as it is awesome in its scale. Entry costs 60RMB and you can also hire an audio guide. |
저녁For a great evening's experience as well as an historical insight into China, you should go to a 'Beijing Night Show'. Dine on a meal fit for an Emperor before the show begins. Then, performers representing the 56 nationalities of China, accompanied by traditional folk music, will describe the country's unique and diverse history. After the show, why not go to Sanlitun, which is one of the most popular bar streets inBeijing. It is part of the larger Gongti nightlife area, which is situated in eastern urban Beijing'sChaoyang District. It remains fashionable with the expat community, foreign travelers and youngers locals. |
현지 문화Climate of BeijingBeijing's climate is defined as “continental monsoon”. The four seasons are distinctly recognisable. Spring and autumn are the best time to visit Beijing, particularly in the months of April, May, September and October. Autumn is considered to be the best time to visit as the skies are clear and the weather is very comfortable. The four seasons are very clear in Beijing with a temperate spring, rainy summer, clear autumn, and a cold, snowy winter. The average temperature throughout the year is 11.80. The coldest month is January with an average temperature of -4.6 and the hottest month is July at an average temperature of 26.10. Unfortunately, spring and autumn are shorter than summer and winter. Although winter is technically longer, that should not keep you from traveling to Beijing as indoor heating is widely available. Nevertheless, as the indoor/outdoor temperature difference is rather large, travelers should be prepared with warm clothing and a thick coat is recommended for the colder months of the year Geography of BeijingThe geography of Beijing Municipality is characterised by its flatness, except for hills that dominate in the north, northwest and west of Beijing. The mountains to the west are known as Xishan, which is Chinese for “Western Hills”. The city's centre is Tian'anmen, and the city spreads out in bands of concentric ring roads radiating from Tian'anmen itself. Physically, Beijing is on flat land, but is strategically close to hills and mountains, as well as plains and the sea. Oddly enough, Beijing is one of the few major cities in China that does not lie on a major river. Instead, water is supplied from two reservoirs -- Guanting Reservoir (on the border with Hebei) and Miyun Reservoir in Miyun County. History & cultures of BeijingAlthough influenced by its long and rich history, Beijing is a city that is in the process of reinventing itself. Since receiving the honour of hosting to the 2008 Olympic Games, the city has worked hard to modernise, but still shows the world the rich culture of China. There are many religions practiced in Beijing, though not always freely. Freedom of religion is actually in the Chinese constitution, but throughout recent history, suspensions have occurred that have made it hard to practice certain faiths. Despite this, the religious diversity in Beijing is vast, encompassing Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity. With many temples throughout the city, visitors can get a real feel of some of the area’s religions. The largest Buddhist temple in Beijing is the Tanzhe Temple whose history dates back to the Jin Dynasty (3rd Century AD). The White Cloud Temple is the largest Taoist temple in the city and was once the main religious centre of Northern China. The Great Wall of China is something that shouldn’t be missed when in Beijing. Built during the Qin Dynasty, it truly is a wonder of the world. There are many sections of the wall that have been restored, the most popular (and close to Beijing) is the Great Wall at Badaling. Many tourists are discouraged by the tourist crowds at Badaling, however the views are still spectacular from this section of the wall and the atmosphere is almost market like, with hawkers and artisans along the route. The Beijing Opera is the area’s most famous opera house. Theatre restaurants are of a high quality, and Kung-Fu and acrobatic play frequently. |
