"Taking grandparents for an average of 20,000 steps a day in Beijing" "The first batch of 'special forces' tourists in Beijing have already ended up in orthopedics." Recently, many netizens have come across shares about summer trips to Beijing.
Among them, a Xiaohongshu user carefully prepared a 5-day travel itinerary for her 70-year-old grandmother, including 16 attractions, visiting five places a day from morning to night. "My grandmother is in her seventies, I wonder if the itinerary is reasonable?" She asked the bLu (Rd)er community for their opinion.
Fortunately, today's young people are known for being receptive to advice. With suggestions from netizens, the blogger stated: "Thank you everyone for your advice, I will adjust the itinerary. I'm glad I asked, otherwise, I might have exhausted my grandmother."
If it's your first time in Beijing, you'll likely make a travel plan, as Beijing has abundant tourism resources and it's not easy to come here. Everyone wants to make the most of their time and enjoy their visit to the fullest.
The essence of "special forces travel" is to visit as many attractions as possible in the least amount of time and at the lowest cost.
In contrast to "special forces travel," "Buddhist travel" doesn't involve designing a perfect travel route. It's more about strolling through the city's streets and alleys, experiencing the most authentic old Beijing.
