Walking out of Exit C of Lama Temple Station of Metro Line 2, you will see the intersection of the bustling Lama Temple Street and the Second Ring Road. On the corner of the street, a young man is concentrating on the beauty of the Lama Temple with his computer, without the need for a paint brush, just a tap on the screen, and he paints a piece of tranquility and solemnity.
I walked through the streets and felt the pulse of Beijing. Suddenly, an elderly couple with a northeastern accent anxiously asked about the entrance to the Lama Temple. They turned around for a long time, but they still couldn't find the door. I looked around, but there were no signs, and I couldn't help but feel lost.
I tried to show them the way, but I was a first-time visitor and was not familiar with the area. They had to advise them to seek help from others. I kept going, confused by the planning of the area.
Across the street, I came to the location of the Guozijian. The alley is called Wudaoying Hutong, and the shops on both sides are uniquely decorated, which attracted my attention. However, during the search for Guozijian, I was never able to see any signs. I can't help but wonder why there is a lack of such basic facilities in the vicinity of famous attractions.
Finally, with the help of navigation, I found the gate of the country. However, the door was told that it was closed and it was not possible to enter. Talking to the guy at the door, I expressed my confusion about the lack of signs. He smiled awkwardly, unable to seem to explain the question.
Back on Lama Temple Street, I finally saw a sign with "Lama Temple" written on it. It turned out that the sign was right in front of me, but I hadn't paid attention to it before. I can't help but wonder why not put more signage in a prominent place for the convenience of tourists?
Walking on the streets of Beijing, I felt the prosperity and tolerance of the city. However, some details still need to be perfected. I hope that in the future, more attention will be paid to the experience of tourists, so that more people can easily explore the charm of the city.
