About the Project
Conducted comprehensive research along Beijing's central axis, spanning from the Temple of Heaven to the Olympic Park. The study was divided into distinct sections: Temple of Heaven segment, Qianmen to Tiananmen stretch, Forbidden City to Jingshan precinct, Bell and Drum Towers area, and the Olympic Park vicinity.
Noteworthy attractions include the Temple of Heaven, Qianmen Street, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Jingshan Park, the Bell and Drum Towers, Shichahai, 798 Art District, the National Stadium, Olympic Forest Park, the Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan, Beijing Botanical Garden, and Beijing Expo Garden.
Summary
During my childhood, I visited Beijing once with my parents, but I have no recollections of that time. Hence, this can genuinely be regarded as my maiden voyage to Beijing. While I had encountered the Forbidden City myriad times through photographs and videos, standing there in person left me profoundly astounded. In the span of a single week, the abundance of destinations was so extensive that it entailed covering 40,000 steps each day. Moreover, cycling along Chang'an Avenue at night delivers an exhilarating sensation like no other.
