Please note that the temperature in Beijing has sounded a warning of heating up, and it is a good time to go out and play! For all sorts of reasons, I had to press the pause button for the dream of a trip around the world.
Looking at the warm sun outside the window, instead of traveling around the world in your imagination, it is better to walk into these high-end, exotic neighborhoods.
Or immerse yourself in the scenery of "exotic land", or go back to the nostalgic old streets of the eighties, the key is to be able to travel to the destination you want to travel in a second.
Former site of the Belgian Embassy
Stroll through the romantic town of "Bruges"
Dongjiaomin Lane, the earliest embassy block in Beijing, can be reminiscent of the Bund in Shanghai, or the Badaguan in Qingdao. Looking around, the road is lined with beautiful Western buildings, the Bank of Macquarie Building, the former site of the French Post Office, the Japanese Legation, st. Michael's Church, there is really a feeling of crossing in a second, and the exotic atmosphere is full of points.
But on the whole street, only the former site of the Belgian Embassy is the best way to feel the past embassy life. Opposite St. Michael's Church, the site of the belgian embassy, several warm red bungalows with towering roofs, small minaret decorations, and iconic red roofs, are well preserved and dazzling.
Because most of the area belongs to the office area and the reserve, it cannot be entered casually, so the environment is quite private, if you want to explore the park, you can make an appointment at Almost coffee1910 Café to experience the exclusive embassy afternoon tea service.
There will be a polite and professional reception staff to guide everyone through the embassy environment and learn the story of the place. Accompanied by a variety of classical romantic background music, drinking coffee, eating desserts or walking in the elegant embassy, you feel that you have suddenly changed from a old mother to an urban exquisite beauty.
The large square courtyard of the embassy district is also enough to feel, and in the middle is a large lawn surrounded by several buildings, which were originally office buildings and official residences. The combination of small single-family buildings seems to be in a romantic Bruges town, very Belgian country house style.

Beijing Exhibition Center
Explore Moscow in style
Hidden in xizhimen, the beautiful building "Beijing Exhibition Hall", the strong Soviet style, the round square is spacious and solemn, the Towering gilded spire of the Soviet-style main building has a huge red five-pointed star, the sickle and axe symbol that can be seen everywhere, has become a mark of the times, as well as those gorgeous columns, beautiful artistic sculptures, retro style.
This group of buildings is full of Soviet Russian style from the inside out, very unique, and rare in the whole capital. However, compared with the zoo next door, it is poorly populated, except for the art exhibitions held from time to time, which seem to be forgotten by everyone, and the locals are even rarer.
In the last century, it was called the "Soviet Exhibition Hall", which was later renamed the Beijing Exhibition Center, which was a large-scale comprehensive exhibition hall in beijing in the early days, when it was still cut by Grandpa Mao's inscription and Premier Zhou's ribbon.
On the west side of the main building, there is a Russian-style garden with arched cloisters, vintage flower beds and sculptures, which have a different romantic atmosphere.
The lecture hall, which has been punched countless times by the little sweet potato blogger, is really a gorgeous hall, with a vaulted ceiling and a huge crystal chandelier, as if a grand banquet is about to begin.
In addition to this exquisite exhibition hall, Beijing's most famous Moscow restaurant "Lao Mo" is also here. Although Russian restaurants have long blossomed everywhere in Beijing, in the hearts of Beijing people, lao Mo has more significance of the times, as if he can remember the youth of the older generation. And no matter the environment, or the dishes, Lao Mo is also the most authentic.

Oga Art Museum
Ultra-hidden "Roman Dungeon"
Speaking of beijing's smallest and most hidden art museum, it is definitely necessary to give the Oga Art Museum a place, which is low-key hidden under the "Oga Hotel" in Sanlitun, and even the exhibition lovers may not know here.
There are several exhibition halls throughout the museum, including contemporary oil paintings, sculptural artworks, as well as many Italian art collections and ancient African art. These exhibits are all found by hotel owners who have traveled all over the country and abroad, and belong to a very precious private collection.
The more distinctive works are paintings with rock sections from 120 million years ago, and the naturally formed textures and colors resemble ink paintings, each of which is unique and cannot be copied.
Although the exhibition is not the best at the moment, the uniqueness and value of the collection are also very high, not to mention a "European palace" made of hard stone, like the style of the ancient Roman period.
The entire "underground palace" is made of hard stone, stone walls, carved stone doors, Roman sculptures, faintly shimmering particles spread on beige stone, like a corner of the ancient Roman temple, elegant and mysterious temperament.

Liangma River international style waterfront
"Little Seine" on the edge of the third ring road
The original rustic Liangma River, after upgrading, changed its face and became a beautiful international style waterfront, and since then, no one has complained that Beijing does not have a beautiful riverside waterfront.
The Liangma River is full of light, the scenery is intoxicating everywhere, the literary and artistic style and the sense of fashion coexist, and there will be viewing positions every other section, known as the "Little Seine River in Beijing". The high-rise buildings and European-style buildings on both sides of the strait were reflected in the water, and for a moment they thought they were in a small town abroad.
Under the clear sky, walking slowly on the waterfront boardwalk, encountering people's laughter, parents short, quietly guarding the fishing boss, watching him stare at the fishing rod out of his mind. But the children like to chase the ducks, white geese refuse to leave, unconsciously, the afternoon time is in a comfortable fragment of life passed.
As the sun sets, the sky and the water's shore form a gradient of golden yellow, about to enter the most romantic scenery. At the beginning of the lantern, the afterglow has not dissipated, and the Liangma River can't wait to show off its fireworks-like appearance, in such a beautiful scenery, even if you walk at night, you will not feel afraid.
The surface of the water reflects a halo of different colors, and the lights and water colors blend together beautifully. With bars and small restaurants on the shore, it can really make people indulge in the charming night, and it is worthy of the "golden business card" of Beijing's riverside night view.

Sanlitun Mechanical and Electrical Institute
Reminiscing about the Hong Kong style of the 1980s
In the 1980s and early 1990s, Hong Kong dramas of various themes swept the streets and alleys, and many works are classics now, and it is easy for everyone to recall that period of youth, and there is always a feeling of reminiscing about the past.
When several Hong Kong-style restaurants settled in Sanlitun Mechanical and Electrical Institute, this original food district where the elite gathered was gradually weathered.
It is also the appearance of old Hong Kong in the past, just like the city atmosphere of the streets of Hong Kong in the movie, retro facades, glittering neon lights, And signs of Hong Kong-style fonts, with old factories, unconsciously have a bit of a play.
Inside the Hong Kong restaurant, it is also quite careful to create an atmosphere, the old wall, the wrought iron guardrail, and the indispensable neon lights, the feeling of the street food stalls is excellently restored, and even the details of the seat tableware are also prepared in accordance with the style of old Hong Kong, and the human fireworks are full of fireworks.
Dare to say that many guests who come to see the name may not rush to eat, but they must be fond of this authentic Hong Kong flavor.
