Attractions in this video: Temple Of Heaven, Summer Palace, Wangfujing Street, 17 Arch Bridge, Temple Of Buddhist Incense
Jordan and Emily kick off their perfect Beijing day at the Summer Palace, arriving just after 7:30 AM to enjoy the frosty morning solitude and golden light reflecting off the lake. They marvel at the 17 Arch Bridge and the intricate ancient gates, but the real highlight comes when a group of locals stops them for photos—a wholesome, unexpected connection that leaves them wondering if they'll end up framed in someone's travel memories.
After soaking in the beauty, they conquer the Beijing metro with ease, using the Metroman app and Apple Maps to navigate. A quick stop at Steam Bun King yields fatty little kings—steamed buns filled with pork and beef—for just $3 AUD, a delicious and authentic local breakfast.
At the Temple of Heaven, they learn fascinating facts: the circular hall was built without a single nail, and the number nine appears everywhere as a symbol of imperial power. They even try novelty ice creams shaped like the temple, indulging in a fun treat despite the crowds. The day winds down at Wangfujing Street and a beloved local restaurant, Beijing Pie, where they enjoy kung pao chicken and a savory pie that keeps them coming back for thirds.
Throughout, Jordan and Emily are blown away by the warmth of the people and the depth of history, proving that Beijing is a destination you cannot skip.
