As we walked further in, the number of people began to gradually decrease.
Why?
Because in front of the backyard wall of Huangqian Hall is the largest fork in the road from north to south.
When the passenger flow entering from the north gate arrives here, it must be dispersed due to the choice of direction.
People can go east, west, or continue south along the courtyard wall.
So here, the advanced service awareness of Temple of Heaven Park is fully reflected.
In addition to placing temporary signboards as tall as one person on both sides of the tea pavilion, they are bilingual in Chinese and English.
A dedicated person was also arranged to use a loudspeaker to guide and answer tourists' inquiries.
To the west is the Zhai Palace Sculpture Art Exhibition, folk entertainment area, and snacks.
To the east is the Shenchu dining area, the Sacrifice Pavilion’s special art exhibition, and the promenade where you can play lantern riddles.
Going south along the main roads of Huangqian Hall, Prayer Hall, Danbi Bridge, Chengzhen Gate, Echo Wall and Circle Qiu are all commercial areas.
Three stage performance areas are also specially noted at the bottom.
They are Xitianmen, South Gate, and Chengzhenmen in the center of the park.
Even the performance time is clearly written.
There are two sessions a day, from 10:30 to 11:30 in the morning and from 2:30 to 3:30 in the afternoon.
In this way, it can not only point the direction for tourists, but also give everyone a general understanding of the planning and layout of the Temple of Heaven Park Garden Party.
Of course, this move was not expected by those from the Temple of Earth.
Compared with the way they only rely on loudspeakers to guide tourists, I can't help but feel ashamed again.
As for the choice of direction.
After seeing the signage, these few people naturally wanted to go straight to the west to see the core folk entertainment items of the temple fair.
For no other reason than they think that catering, merchandise, and exhibitions are nothing more than providing convenience to vendors and promoting sales.
It's all the same, just for making money, so what's there to see?
In fact, what they care about most is the fun of the Spring Festival activities at the Temple of Heaven.
From this point of view, they have put in too much effort and sacrifice this year and have set their focus on breakthroughs. This is their trump card.
In particular, I feel that the performance time arranged by the Temple of Heaven is too limited, unlike the performances they arrange that are almost non-stop throughout the day.
So I never believe that Tiantan can do better than them.
So after several people discussed it, they started to go straight to the goal, trying to regain some psychological advantage.
Unexpectedly, they had just walked past the back wall of the Huangqian Hall and walked around the side wall of the Prayer Hall. Within a hundred steps, they could no longer stick to their original route.
Because it is from here that commercial stalls spread out one after another with red tablecloths and iron frame lintels.
It was spread out in a circle along the wall of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, attracting many Chinese and foreign tourists to stop and watch.
However, the stalls here were very different from the messy scene they imagined. They were actually completely uniform in format. This scene was so impressive.
Especially behind these stalls, the long outer wall surrounding the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is even more shocking!
You know, the high walls are not empty, they are all decorated with bright red long and short silks.
The breeze blows gently, and the long and short silks and big hydrangeas on the wall are really flamboyant and beautiful.
Everyone says that red walls and green tiles are beautiful, but in fact, green glazed tiles, large areas of gray walls, and dazzling red satin in the sun are even more gorgeous and beautiful.
According to the old man in line just now, this is a soft lottery.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...he is so rich!
The emotions of the three people from the Temple of Earth were once again hit to freezing point.
You must know that the outer courtyard wall of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is approximately 300 meters from north to south and 200 meters from east to west.
This lap is at least one kilometer, and the cost of tying colors will be at least doubled.
Think about it, if two kilometers of red silk were stacked and stored, half of the room would be taken up.
How much will this cost?
Moreover, it can be inferred from this that the outer wall of the echo wall is most likely decorated in this way. How much does it add up to?
Even if the emperors of the past came to worship heaven, they would not be able to decorate the land for miles.
But such extravagance and extravagance happened in the Temple of Heaven Park!
This decorative effect is absolutely outstanding, it is the best in the capital of this era, and no one can look at it.
To put it bluntly, only after seeing the holiday decorations of the Temple of Heaven can you know what generosity means!
Only such a scene can show the joy and enthusiasm in a magnificent situation!
It is not at all comparable to the modern conventional practice of adding more colorful flags, tying more balloons, hanging more banners and colorful latte art.
So in terms of the decorative effect of the festive atmosphere, at this point, all the ambitions of the three people in the Temple of Earth have been defeated by the Temple of Heaven, and they already consider themselves dead dogs.
No matter how unwilling they are, the most they can do is use their "Ah Q spirit" to comfort themselves.
What? If we don’t have enough programs, we just use money to make up for it.
Look at you crazy ones, I want to give you a ladder so that you can all go to heaven!
Don't you just rely on having a few stinky money? This is called victory without using force.
If our Ditan had your income, we would definitely be able to do better than you.
Yes, I have to admit, at least your commercial stall is a bit interesting.
It's clever and practical, and it doesn't cost a lot of money to make.
But then again, anyone who takes a look at it will learn it.
Your little cleverness is not worth mentioning...
In short, with their hearts filled with citric acid, these three people picked up their cameras and took another snap!
I plan to go back and study together, and then prepare to copy the homework.
But as a result, the three of them got closer and took a closer look, and made another surprising discovery.
I bet the things sold at commercial stalls under these theater chains are definitely different from what is popular.
That's too elegant, and it's also too expensive.
Take the first five stalls at the beginning as an example. They are all connected by the same shop, and they all sell kites.
Not only were they placed on the stalls, they were hung from the lintels, but even the high wall behind them was used.
Driving nails, tying ropes, and hanging colorful kites.
There are so many tricks.
Nezha, Liu Hai, Magu, longevity star, Bajie, Sun Hou'er, Banana Fan, Haha Sansheng, two people making fun, Hehe Erxian, centipede, catfish, butterfly, dragonfly, three Yang Kaitai, seven magpies climbing branches
And so on... I estimate there are hundreds of kinds.
The strangest among them is undoubtedly the raptor kite.
What kind of kite, eagle, or eagle can soar in the sky with just a string?
Of course, there is also the "big sand swallow" that is most familiar to people in the capital, and it is also extremely exquisite.
Not only was he a good painter, he was also carrying an organ or a peace gong and drum on his back, which would make a sound when placed in the sky.
There is even a special red light matching at night, which is as professional as possible.
But when compared with the others, it's submerged in them and doesn't show any superiority in style.
These exquisite kites are unusual even in size and materials.
Not only are there everything from one foot to two feet, but there are also mini kites as big as 10 inches.
They are all placed in a brocade box with a glass cover, which looks very funny.
Take a six- to seven-foot kite as an example, it is often made of silk.
The shelf is made of whole rattan, and the colors are painted with azurite, rouge, mud gold, mud silver and other pigments.
Even the ropes for flying kites are made of jute or green hemp, which have been rubbed and waxed.
However, none of the most common simple kites made of plastic are available.
Therefore, the price is very impressive. Ordinary people must not ask about the price. If they do, they will be scared.
For example, a young man asked the price of a four-foot sand swallow. Well, it was fifteen yuan!
The young man came with two buddies, and the three young men quit on the spot.
The price is so outrageous that I could buy ten of each. It's a bit of a curse.
But there was no room for the three people from the Ditan to gloat over their misfortune. There was an older man nearby who helped the kite seller speak up.
"Hey, young man, first look up at this sign. This is no ordinary kite."
"What? Not an ordinary kite?"
As he said this, the three of them raised their eyes together, but they still didn't understand why.
"Kite...Kite...what's going on? Is his kite made of gold?"
That one was happy.
"This is not a gold mine, but it is definitely the most high-end kite in the capital. During the Qianlong period, the 'Haba Kite' became famous, and most of the kites used were Cao Xueqin's music. In the past, they were sold to high-ranking officials.
You are a noble person. What you eat is exquisite in craftsmanship and unique in style. It is never cheap. Take your kite as an example. Before liberation, it would take at least ten oceans, that is, ten bags of white flour. If I sell it to you for fifteen, do you still think it is expensive? You want
If you don’t believe me, go home and ask your elders how much a kite costs.”
Now the three young men were scratching their heads.
At this time, the kite buyer also took over the conversation and explained it tactfully.
"Hey, these kites are labor-intensive and time-consuming, that's why they are priced this way. In fact, we know they are expensive and not many people will buy them. We put them here not mainly for sale, but for exhibition. We want everyone to see them.
Our traditional kites are so wonderful. If you are just for fun, of course there is no need to buy them. If you go south, things are cheaper over there. The kites we often buy are all over there. Let me tell you this
Well, things get cheaper the further south you go. If you go north, just watch the excitement, don’t waste your money.”
As soon as he said this, everyone in front of the stall understood it.
With a roar of laughter, many people dispersed together with the three young men.
Even the driver of Ditan couldn't help but snicker and kept saying it.
"The Temple of Heaven is fine, too. He has such a big battle, but he doesn't do it for selling money. Haha, it's true, he loses money and makes a profit. This is the first time I've seen that some of the people doing business are chasing people away..."
However, the secretary and the deputy principal suddenly began to think deeply. They slowly walked south and looked at it.
Gradually, I discovered that the stalls next to me, one after another, were either displaying exquisite porcelain or weird second-hand goods.
Looking further away, there seem to be bookstalls one after another.
This made them all feel a little weird, as if the Temple of Heaven Park was so unconventional and it was definitely not that simple.
Indeed, there are not many customers who are lingering here. Most of them are just looking at it, and few of them make transactions.
Especially young people, or families of three, leave quickly one by one.
But on the other hand, there are people who really linger around and just want to compete with this place.
They were all older people, and they looked like they were either intellectuals or cadres, or they were foreigners joking around.
They picked up their cameras and took pictures while walking. They probably had never seen this before and found it very new.
As a result, at this moment, the secretary and the deputy director met several owners who had just finished shopping and the secret was revealed to them.
"...Not bad, really good."
A person just bought two pieces of porcelain from the stall next to them. They are called beautiful.
"I have been looking for such a good celadon tea can for a long time. Now I have bought it. It is not easy."
Another said, "Listen to me, it's no different from visiting Liulichang. I heard that most of the time-honored restaurants in Liulichang have come to join in the fun and have stalls here."
The lesbian who came with them found it incredible. "Ah, really? Is there anyone selling calligraphy and painting?"
The buyer answered, "Yes, when you guys enter the courtyard of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the calligraphy and paintings are all in the house. Rong Baozhai and the Beijing Painting Shop have them all."
The lesbian was surprised. "Ah, how comprehensive is it? There are so many. This is no longer the Changdian temple fair of the past."
The buyer nodded. "You are right, this is our vision of the Temple of Heaven. Who let us have a relationship with Liulichang? You may not know that in the past few years during the construction of Liulichang, several of their time-honored brands have been using our products.
Let’s all cheer each other up. I’m not exaggerating. Anyway, your visit here is equivalent to at least visiting half the street in Liulichang. As for next year, there will definitely be more.”
Changdian Temple Fair?!
The secretary and the deputy principal looked at each other, and now they really understood!
This Temple of Heaven is too ghostly, and its vision is vicious enough. No wonder they spare no effort to make the garden party a cultural one!
I’m looking forward to eating this elegant meal together!
You guys can take advantage of any relationship, it's so disrespectful of martial ethics.
Just at this moment, there was a stall in front that made a deal.
A foreign young man happily bought a porcelain pillow and gave the seller 18 yuan in foreign exchange coupons. He was still very happy.
Immediately afterwards, two other foreign women came to look for him from behind. Behind them, one was carrying a banana fan kite, and the other was carrying the big sand swallow that had just been priced at fifteen yuan.
Don't ask, they must all be kites.
Who said you can make money at a loss?
Why does it seem more and more like "don't open for three years, open for three years"?
