Beijing Night Tour | Eye-pleasing Fitness Edition

Summer in Beijing is really hot hot hot hot hot! Switch up the thinking, visit museums and such indoor places during the day, and save some outdoor attractions for nighttime fun ⛱️Must-visit spots: Jingshan Park☞ Jingshan is really cool at night, bring some mosquito repellent, go up the hill to enjoy the evening breeze. There are quite a few people waiting for the lights to come on at the top of the hill, so you might want to go early to snag a good spot. After dark, there are lights on the hill, so it's still quite safe! Forbidden City Museum North Gate☞ After the museum closes in the evening, the entrance is very quiet, if you want to take photos and check in, it's better to come at night. Drum Tower☞ You can't climb the tower at night, but it's interesting to stroll along the central axis and visit the hutongs! 🍜Food Guide: Set off after dinner, and if you get hungry, find some snacks in the hutongs. 🚄Transportation Guide: 🗺️Recommended route after dinner☞ Forbidden City North Gate - Jingshan Park South Gate - Climb Jingshan - Jingshan Park North Gate - Drum Tower 💗Other tips: 💡Lighting time☞ The Forbidden City only lights up on weekend nights, don't wait for nothing during the week. Some say it's at 6 pm, others say 7 pm, but it actually depends on the day. Now in summer, it gets dark late, I waited on the hill until 7:50 pm for the lights. It's a bit later than the surrounding street lights and building illumination.
