I arrived at Tiananmen Square and saw Chairman Mao.

The breeze carries culture, the ground beneath my feet holds history. Finally, I set foot on this land that bears countless stories and stepped into the long-awaited city of Beijing. First stop: Tiananmen Square. As the first light of dawn shines down, the Five-Starred Red Flag slowly rises to the national anthem, the solemn atmosphere bringing tears to my eyes. "Wherever my gaze falls, it's all China; wherever the five stars shine, it's all faith." At this moment, love for my country surges in my heart. Turning around, I entered the Forbidden City, as if opening a heavy history book. Every brick, tile, and red wall tells of six hundred years across two dynasties and three reigns. The red walls, yellow tiles, and flying eaves speak of past glories and vicissitudes. Behind every palace gate seems to lie an untold story. At the Badaling Great Wall, the winding dragon coils between the mountains. "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man." Step by step, feeling the mountain breeze and gazing at the magnificent scenery in the distance, I couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom and resilience of the ancients. As night falls, the lights of Shichahai gradually illuminate. Here, the charm of old Beijing blends perfectly with modern vibrancy. Strolling along the lake, the melodious songs from the bars add a touch of romance to this ancient city. And then there's the Summer Palace, where Kunming Lake shimmers with ripples, the Seventeen-Arch Bridge spans the water, and the distant Longevity Hill is lush and green, resembling a natural landscape painting of Beijing, China. Walking along the Long Corridor and admiring the exquisite murals, it feels like traveling back to that golden age. Beijing, this ancient yet modern city, captivates with every scene and etches every memory deeply. If you too yearn for an encounter with history and culture, pack your bags and come to Beijing!
