The parks in Beijing are really vast and great to explore. Although we didnt get the chance to visit the forbidden city (the tickets were sold out, we were lucky to be able to visit Beihai park Beijing and Jingshan Park and get some great Beijing views. There is so much history in China and the history in Beijing is fundamental to the story of China. These are definitely some of the top things to do in Beijing.

I have spent 10 years to explore China and still has a lot more to visit, Taiwan is also worth the visit. Highly recommend Yunnan and Shandong province. Each province has its own history and culture, each of them has a different dialect, different cuisines, different landscapes and climates. China is such a cultural rich nation overall.
Yeah. We really loved it in China! I think there is always more to see! 😀
You can buy tickets for the Forbidden City on site. There are counters dedicated to foreign vistors.
Not quite sure about this information. It is said that the tickets for Forbidden City should all be ordered online, at least for Chinese citizens.
not anymore ..
Wow, thanks to you, I enjoyed watching... I'm proud of you for developing day by day.
特别美的公园！好想中国😭😭 such beautiful parks! I really miss China!
来啊！
吴xiansheng吴 谢谢！特别想回来！住在大连两年了。现在住在日本所以可能快回来！
The central and southern sea (Zhongnan hai) is where the central government located.
You should have visited downtown Beijing CBD. It’s much more impressive than Chicago or Hong Kong downtown now.
We were too busy enjoying the wide open spaces of the city though! 😀
Like the great wall, the forbidden city and summer palace are two must-see places.
Foreigners to the palace don’t need to buy tickets online. Go further in past the first gate and before the ticket entry, on the right side where there are fenced bars, that is where foreigners buy tickets. Maybe they changed the purchase policy but that’s how I got my tickets last year.
You haven’t been to 天坛 the Heaven Park and the Summer Palace either, which are two must go places in Beijing.
I think they have watched the Forbidden City from a distance in Jingshan, coupled with the hot weather and crowds, which may be the reason for their abandonment.
The best time to travel to Beijing is from September to October. The weather in Beijing in the fall is cool and the scenery is pleasant.
That was a really nice stroll in the park!
A pity you two didn't get to tour the majestic Forbidden City. Perhaps that will be the perfect excuse to visit Beijing again in the future. :D
:) Yeah! it was a shame, but It definitely gives us a good reason! :)
i have lived in Beijing for six years. Jingshan is a small park, it only cost you 2yuan to get in, but you can see the forbidden city on the top of the Jingshan park. there are lot of interesting place in Beijing. Welcome to Beijing!
Yeah! It was a really nice park! Beijing had so many great things to offer and we were able to explore on our own terms! It was great! 😀
Have you guys been to Hangzhou/Suzhou ? I heard those are quite tranquil and less hectic places.
Unfortunately not. :(
@@RobandJenny There is always next time !
Came here because one of my favourite parks and dishes...also try Yu xiang rou si....(a fish based one)
Sounds great!
Welcome to Beijing. Take your time to visit Heaven Temple and Forbidden Palace. By the way, the foods are great over there especially in Wangfujing Street Market 王府井大街
It's a pity that you didnot visit the Forbidden City and Summer Palace, which are places of interest.
yea that ticket stuff is confusing. we just went there and bought them there. its a great place, pity you missed it.
We've since been told that we might have been allowed to just buy a ticket on the day 🙁😳
@@RobandJenny it is a bit weird. we also had a taxi driver telling us thee whole place was closed(it was a scam) so i was determined to see for myself
What is your next destination in China? HuangShan Mountain in Anhui Province is a good choice. As a Chinese, I plan to go there for a second time.
Sadly Beijing is the end of the road :(
Rob & Jenny Anyway, welcome to China, hope your next vlog in other parts of Asia.
@@RobandJenny I would like to recommend Huangshan Mountain as well. Maybe next time😊
As a Beijinger, I can say that you only visit a small part of Beijing. You still have a lot of delicious food to eat.If you come to Beijing next time, don't be on vacation for students.Only crowds can be seen in the scenic spots of Beijing during the holidays.
The cultural relics restoration department of the palace museum has been opened to visitors and is well worth visiting.
Hi, the lovely couple, Welcome to Beijing(北京欢迎你), hope you enjoy the rest of days in China!
Hey! Thanks a lot for the lovely comment! :)
@@RobandJennyYou're welcome, and don't forget to try the Beijing Roast Duck😉
@@triggerost9023 they just did
度过余生，哈哈，他们要回自己的国家的
very scenic! :) your guys editing is super amazing
Thanks! Jenny works very hard on editing it all! 😀
You can use trip. com to book tickets, trains, or flights. 😊
Thanks. 😀
@@RobandJenny you're most welcome. 😉
Nice video
Just want to know what equipment you use in making this video while walking.
Literally just a g7x nothing too fancy ☺️
Central and Southern Sea is central government now, like Whitehouse.
Oh interesting!
try延吉冷面 in xi si， not far from 北海park，very tasty
This is the hottest time of the year. In Beijing, geneally people go to Summer Palace as an alternative to Forbidden City. The heat is very exhausting.
the 'pancake' wrap of the jingjiangrousi is actually tofu skin :)
Yeah! Not my fave! 😀
The Central and Southern Sea (Zhongnanhai) is the presidential palace of China so we cannot access to it. But luckily you found Beihai Park. I also highly recommend the summer palace, the lake inside is larger than beihai park.
That's good then! Thanks for the comment! :)
Wow, great video title. you actually put these little punctuation notes on Jing jiang rou si (I am not sure what it called). It shows your effort on making these videos. You have my hat off. Lots of respect! Enjoy your journey in China, guys.
Thanks! 😀
Fun fact, Jingshan hill is essentially the pile of dirt when they dug up the river/fundation for the forbidden city.
Haha, that IS really interesting!!
The Forbidden City was actually built in 15th century (in 1420AD if I remember correctly). You said it was possibly built in 1368AD which was the year Ming dynasty started from. However, Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of Ming, did not choose Beijing as his capital city. Nanjing was actually the capital of China then. It was his son, Zhu Di, later moved the capital to Beijing. Zhu Di was the third emperor of Ming. He then built the fordidden city in Beijing.
Oh thank you! 😀
seems no end of y guys journey. drives me crazy jealous, cause i am stucking in working.
Aw yes sadly the end of our travels in China! :(
Those parks are so green and beautiful. By the way I didnt see much air pollution in China from your videos.
Josh Q. The western media propaganda distorted very successful in the last 70 years since 1949 . Actually Beijing even not top 30 polluted Cities in the world.
Summers are ok, winters are bad. I have experienced one of the most horrific pollution in my entire life in one of the winter weeks in Beijing during the old days.
@@htht7831 Yes. The air pollution in Beijing can go horribly bad in winter time. Summers are better.
All Parks in Chinese Cities are beautiful and clean and all are safe day and night.
you may go to HOUHAI PARK后海and 烟袋斜街 at night
another fun fact: the last emperor of Ming dynasty suicided on Jingshan hill.
Hodgen He you are absolutely right, I forgot about it.
but y
@@samy8897 Because of war, the Qing dynasty took the place of Ming, the last emperor of Ming failed to fight the army of Qing, then he suicided on Jingshan Hill.
Forbidden City is large. It's never crowded inside.
Really? We saw lots of crowds from the top of the hill! 🧐
beihai park is very good....
Pretty!
@@RobandJenny I'v been there in1995,
Last few days in China. Miss China?? 😭🇨🇳
Yes. China was so good, really great to visit. But every time we reach a new country it is amazing and we love to experience it.
Just a small correction: the Forbidden City was built in the early 1400's, not 1368. I believe the construction started in 1406 and finished in 1420 if I remember correctly. Anyways, enjoy your trip to Beijing!
Thanks!
Wonderful video! Good job!
Please visit Zhangjiajie mountain and Jiuzhaigou lake.They are the most beautiful places in the world. They are consider as paradise
The lake we think is still not able to visit after the earthquake. ☹️
@@RobandJenny you are wrong. It is open from 2nd september. It is the most beautiful season to visit
@@TrungTran-xv6oz AHH great so maybe next time we can go then. There is so little info on the internet so it is hard to tell.
Rob & Jenny Re: the avatar mountain, western tourist websites always say that they can’t buy tickets on site, but it’s not true....
well, it's like travelling to Rome but not going to the vatican city...you know it's packed, but it's still a must-do activity...
true!
wrong, guys. y cannot go inside the vatican city. y can visit the museum.
一看视频开头就知道是景山公园，因为上个月我刚刚去过，还专门看了明思宗殉国处(崇祯皇帝自缢)。
京酱肉丝啊，看得我流口水了。
forbidden city wasnt a city, it was a palace.
It was as big as a city in it's own right! :)
pearlblack actually the real name is palace museum. But western countries like to use “ forbidden “ as described China. Chinese is ignorant of this
Group of palaces.
"Hai" in Mongolian language means "Garden", Qing dynasty use this language a lot.
That "Hai" actually means "Lake".
60fps is great.
😁😁😁
Welcome to Beii jing
Thanks! 😀
the last emperor of Ming Dynasty hanged himself on the JingShan hill where you stand on when revolution army broke into BeiJing.
I wonder when did you learn chopsticks? Did you know before coming to China or do you learn it during your stay in China?
We use chopsticks a lot back in the UK for eating Chinese and other asian foods! :)
you think there is no chinese, japanese or korean restaurant in UK?
@@RobandJenny Ok...
@@rickr9435 Asians are almost in every Country and I know it. But not everyone learn using chopsticks unless they are interested in Asian culture. These two travellers seem to be interested in Asian culture as they learnt back home in their Country about it.
@@mboihk3796 well, you have no idea how common for people to go to asian restaurants in countries like UK, huh? come on, it's 21st century now...
I love the bgm！！！！！！
bud,those are not pancakes,it's actually called tofu skin,that's why it has a rubbery texture lol
😀😂🤣
北京去过一次，就是觉得那里的士兵哥哥，好帅好帅好帅....重要的事情说3次。
hahaha its tofu not pancake so the texture is different😂
Yeah. It's not my favourite. But a nice experience! 😀
@@RobandJenny nice try！
Sadly you are leaving China! If you will visit China again, I would recommend three cities:
Shenzhen: literally a small village 40 years ago, and now becomes a most important science and technology center; a best example of the development and modernization of modern China.
Hangzhou: a classic traveling city of more than 1000 years, showing the features of classic, traditional Chinese art and beauty; also very strong in economy and science&technology.
Chongqing: (my hometown!(•‿•)) sharing some similarities with Chengdu; Chongqing has been the top 1 popular destination for domestic visitors in these several years, with the unique city characters, city scenery and food (mostly spicy food😂).
Thanks! 😀
your videos are very nice to watch when I feel homesick. I miss China so much :((
Awww thanks. We're glad we can bring China to you! 😀😀
京酱肉丝😍
I'm curious you can't speak Chinese, how can you travel to China and go a lot of place? It's amazing. I like you show us how do you feel about Chinese food. Hope you have a great time!
In China (as in any country) you really don't need the language to get by. You can use translate apps, look at symbols and ask people for help. We try and prepare for each day by researching first though! :)
到了北海玩，不去中海南海可惜了，简称中南海
u two barely go out to hv evening life? In shanghai, Beijing …. houhai is also famous for the pubs there, the pub street, it used to be very famous for bands performing in the pubs there in the evening...many famous Chinese singers used to sing in the pubs there before or even after they got famous...ppl will ice skate on the beihai lake in winter...
We don't film everything 😉
"Sea" should be translated to "lake".
Thanks. 😀
Good video, but using some Google apps in China requires a VPN to be used. I don't know if it will cause inconvenience to you. There are also some reasons why China bans some Google apps because there are many anti-China elements that are not true. News and fake news attack China, so as an ordinary citizen and most of China's citizens are supporting the government's practice, China also has a lot of good APP, functional and technical content is not worse than Google, I wish you a pleasant journey!
Thank you for the good wishes! Luckily we were able to get by with many of the chinese apps!
大热天确实不是逛公园的好时间
北京的夏天能热死我们北方人。。。
有空来中南海喝茶

十个菜？
Your dishes are too expensive, it only worth 50 yuan.
that's a shame! we really enjoyed them :)
在北京俩人吃饭花一百出头不多啊，两三个菜就一百多了。。
Thx for your reply, this AbOVE guy who lives in Beijing told me it’s normal price, maybe it’s just cheaper at my place (Szechuan)
@@天上人间积极分子 要俩啥菜100多？
@@gilbert8156 京酱肉丝和麻婆豆腐，这个地方应该靠近景点，在北京来说不算被坑吧，我两年前在郑州吃个京酱肉丝都要接近40块钱。。

Forbidden city is so overrated.
