Beijing Essentials: Iconic History & Modern Pulse 🏯🚶🌫️
Kickstart your day at the heart of Beijing with a foggy stroll through the city’s iconic must-sees! Early mornings bring moody vibes to the entrance of the Forbidden City—think mysterious Chinese architecture rising through the mist, scene-stealing for both history buffs and photo chasers.

🧭 Itinerary Snapshot:
1️⃣ Drum Tower – Dive into ancient rhythms at Di'anmenwai Street. Climb its mighty steps to catch panoramic city views and snap epic shots of the towers outlined against a cloudy sky (open Mar 26–Oct 25: 9:30AM–5:30PM / Oct 26–Mar 25: 9:30AM–4:30PM). Best photo angle: Shoot upwards with tree branches framing the tower’s silhouette.
2️⃣ Tiananmen Square – From misty serenity to grandeur, this legendary plaza (between Tiananmen and Zhengyangmen on Chang'an Street) bustles from sunrise to late evening (Oct 25–Dec 31: 5:00AM–10:00PM). Don't miss: The flag-raising ceremony and wide-angle shots as vehicles and pedestrians slice through early morning haze.
3️⃣ Wangfujing – Cap the day at Beijing’s buzzing shopping artery, perfect for street eats and modern city snaps (open all day, North Dongchang'an Street). Tip: The rain makes neon signs and traditional façades shimmer for next-level night photos!

🌟 Pro Tips:
- For atmospheric shots, hit attractions early when low clouds and fewer crowds add cinematic drama.
- Drizzle or fog? Bring a raincoat—not an umbrella—so you can roam hands-free (and not battle Beijing’s breezes!).
- Use trees or passersby to frame architecture for dynamic “vision” images.
