Summary

During my childhood, I visited Beijing once with my parents, but I have no recollections of that time whatsoever. Hence, this experience can genuinely be regarded as my maiden voyage to Beijing. While I had encountered the Forbidden City myriad times through photographs and videos, standing there in person left me profoundly astounded. In the span of a single week, the abundance of destinations to explore and sights to behold was so extensive that it entailed effortlessly covering 40,000 steps each day. Moreover, I must confess that cycling along Chang'an Avenue at night delivers an exhilarating sensation like no other.
