It has been almost a year since I came to the big family of "Tianyuan". This year's life has not only allowed me to experience the fulfillment of work, but also made me feel the warmth of this big family. The 'Tianyuan people' have an unwritten custom that every year the general manager takes his employees on a trip to relax, see the sky outside, and learn new ideas and concepts from the outside world. I happened to have this good opportunity and was fortunate enough to follow this team. The destination this time is the capital Beijing, the place I have been longing for, and I have been secretly excited for a long time

This trip lasted for five days. Early in the morning, we gathered in front of the company office building. A team of more than 40 people got on the bus, chatting and laughing, and drove towards Beijing with the joy of all the passengers

When we arrived in Beijing, it was already late and the tour guide took us to the hotel that had been pre booked by the travel company. After the general manager came in, he first looked at the room and then said, "This room is not very good. Everyone is tired, so let's make do with one night and stay in a better hotel tomorrow night." After a tiring day, we hurriedly had dinner and didn't even care about whether the room was good or not. We went back to our room, rested, and rested. The next day, I found out that when we were all about to fall asleep, the general manager and tour guides went out to find us a new place to live. Although it's already spring, the weather is still cold. Thinking about the general manager finding us a comfortable place to live under the cover of night and the cold wind, even though we don't say anything, our hearts are warm to each other

After a good sleep, the new day's itinerary began. The first stop, of course, was the flag raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square. At 6am, braving the freezing temperatures of minus 3-4 degrees Celsius, with boundless passion, we arrived at Tiananmen Square, which has a history of 600 years but still remains solemn and dignified. Although we went early, when we arrived at the square, it was already crowded with people, and the railings were already surrounded by a crowd. Thousands of people stood in front of the Tiananmen Square flag, devoutly waiting for this short 2 minutes and 7 seconds, waiting for the five-star red flag to rise slowly in the square. After a while, the crowd quieted down - the flag guard walked towards the flag stand with neat and uniform steps - the sacred moment had arrived. When the passionate national anthem is played, without leadership, there is a big

Without the chorus of the host, people silently sang the national anthem of the People's Republic of China, but with an unprecedented sense of shock and immense pride. At the moment when the three national songs accompanied the national flag slowly reached the top and the flag raising ceremony came to an end, the crowd did not immediately disperse, as if they were still feeling the solemnity and experiencing the shock.

There are three places to visit when coming to Beijing, which are the Forbidden City, the Badaling Great Wall, and the Summer Palace. We first arrived at the Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City, located at the center of the north-south axis of Beijing. It records the changes of China and the vicissitudes of the world over the past 600 years, and has accumulated thousands of years of culture. It is a very complete ancient palace complex that still exists in the world. It is also the place where 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties ruled and lived their daily lives. It is known as the top of the world's five palaces and a precious cultural heritage of humanity. The design and architecture of the Forbidden City is a stunning masterpiece. The palace is arranged along a north-south central axis, with the three main halls, the rear three palaces, and the imperial garden all located on this axis. The entire courtyard is divided into two main parts, namely the "front court" and the "rear bedroom". The 'Former Dynasty' was the place where the emperor held grand ceremonies, mainly in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and the Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall on the east and west sides. The "rear palace" is the place where the emperor, empresses, and underage children reside, mainly consisting of the Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace, and the six palaces of the east and west. There are many palaces in the Forbidden City, among which the Hall of Supreme Harmony is very magnificent. The Hall of Supreme Harmony, commonly known as the "Golden Luang Hall", is one of the largest palaces in the Forbidden City, with a high standard and magnificent structure. It is also a very large wooden palace in China, decorated with magnificent and solemn decorations, reflecting the majesty of imperial power at that time.

Leaving the Shenwu Gate at the north gate, we visited the Jingshan Mountain, which is made of soil and stone. In terms of overall layout, Jingshan Mountain can be said to be the barrier of the Forbidden City architectural complex. Perhaps in the Forbidden City, one only knows that it is very large and has a vast area, but they do not know what exactly it is. When standing on Jingshan Mountain and looking towards the Forbidden City, the view suddenly becomes broader, and you truly see and experience the majesty and dominance of the royal family. The grandeur of the Forbidden City is awe inspiring, with a total of 9999 and a half rooms, high city walls, deep palace gates, four corner towers standing tall, surrounded by moats, and heavily guarded walls. The white platform, red giant columns, and yellow roof, against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, highlight the magnificent palace buildings, all reflecting the noble imperial atmosphere and the wisdom and diligence of the ancient Chinese people.

If we want to see it, then the magnificence of the Forbidden City is enough to satisfy our eyes. If we want to feel it, it must be the Great Wall at Badaling. The seven characters inscribed by Chairman Mao, 'Not a hero without reaching the Great Wall,' are carved into black stone tablets and stand tall on the platform of Juyong Pass. Perhaps deeply influenced by Chairman Mao, we all have a deep affection for the Great Wall. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the Great Wall, snowflakes drifted in the sky. But this has not shaken our determination to become heroes at all. As soon as they arrived at their destination, everyone couldn't wait to get off the car and run towards Badaling. Climbing to this world-renowned tourist destination, standing at the ruins of the beacon tower, and looking up at the majestic Great Wall Pass winding among the mountains, you can't help but marvel at the grandeur of the project and the magnificence of its momentum. What you appreciate is not only the wisdom of the Chinese nation in creating history, but also the endless flow of the rolling river of history. Realizing that the Great Wall is not only a defensive project in the hearts of the Chinese people, but also forged into an indomitable national spirit. Suddenly, you will realize that climbing the true Great Wall is the harvest in your heart. Although the Great Wall on the ground can be eroded or even abandoned, the spiritual Great Wall has become a force that cannot be destroyed by any external force. It is a symbol of the Chinese nation and a deeply rooted Great Wall complex.

The magnificence of the Forbidden City and the grandeur of the Badaling Great Wall have already imprinted in our hearts, but the fresh and beautiful Summer Palace also leaves an unforgettable impression on us. The Summer Palace covers an area of 2.9 square kilometers, with three-quarters of the water surface. There are currently 70000 square meters of various palaces and ancient buildings in the garden. We followed the 728 meter long corridor with 273 stone pavilions and over 600 folk stories painted on it to the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion. The Buddha Fragrance Pavilion is the center of the entire garden's architectural layout and is a magnificent tower shaped religious building where Empress Dowager Cixi burned incense and worshipped Buddha. Tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kunming Lake and dozens of miles away from here, from a high vantage point. In addition, the 17 span bridge, 544 lions of various shapes, and 7 bridges over Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake also make us linger and forget to leave.

In addition to the above places, we also visited many places where Ming and Qing emperors worshipped the heavens and prayed for valleys - the Temple of Heaven, the Prince Gong's Mansion, the Bird's Nest, the Water Cube, the Central Radio and Television Tower, and the Ming Thirteen Tombs hidden in the lush green mountains... Beijing is very large and there are many places worth visiting. Although it is only a few short days, the impression left by Beijing on us is profound. On the way back, everyone was talking about what they had seen and heard in Beijing, and we ended our pleasant journey with laughter and joy along the way
