Forbidden City

Ditan Park

10. The ginkgo trees in Ditan Park are truly spectacular and a must-see. The park has four gates, and we recommend taking a taxi to the West Gate, which has a memorial archway. The ginkgo trees at the West and North Gates are the most spectacular.

11. Wuta Temple, also known as the Stone Carving Art Museum, is closed on Mondays. Reservations must be made in advance through the WeChat official account: "Beijing Local Treasures" - "Museum Reservations."

12. Don't assume it's easy to get a taxi early in the morning. On the day I went to Xiangshan, I took a Didi taxi at 6:15 AM, but it took 40 minutes for a driver to accept the request.

13. If you want to take photos of the Forbidden City's period costumes and also want to eat at "Si Ji Min Fu" near Donghuamen, you can first queue up at "Si Ji Min Fu" to get a number, then take your time to choose clothes nearby.

14. When planning your itinerary, it is best to avoid visiting the Great Wall, Fragrant Hills, the Forbidden City, Hongluo Temple, and Ditan Park on weekends as they are very crowded.
