向外國朋友介紹冬日北京好去處？鼓樓是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的選擇

10 向外國朋友介紹冬日北京好去處？鼓樓是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的選擇

北京鼓樓的四合院老房子雖不斷減少，仍保留著老北京原汁原味的歷史風(fēng)情——這在FT記者查爾斯·克洛弗（Charles Clover）眼中，是冬日假日中最時(shí)尚的去處。

Central Beijing was once a warren of courtyard houses and narrow interconnected alleyways, known as hutongs, which have been progressively demolished to make way for wide boulevards and ring roads.But while old gable-ended concave roofs have gradually been displaced by skyscrapers, it is precisely within these dwindling districts that the best atmosphere is retained.

北京市中心曾是擁擠的四合院與縱橫交錯(cuò)的胡同世界，如今為了興建寬闊的大馬路與內(nèi)環(huán)路，它們不斷地被拆除。雖說四合院老房子逐漸被摩天高樓代替，但正是這些不斷縮小的區(qū)域仍保留著老北京原汁原味的歷史風(fēng)情。

Drums inside the building were used to announce the time for centuries, a practice only abandoned at the end of the last imperial dynasty of China, the Qing, in 1911/12.

幾百年來，鼓樓里的大鼓一直用于報(bào)時(shí)，直至末代封建王朝清朝在1911-12年被推翻后才完全棄用。

1.Offbeat shopping

非同尋常的購物區(qū)

Gulou Dongdajie, the main road, ends at the ancient drum tower, which is well worth a visit.But the street itself is a thriving hub of independent shops, full of vintage clothes and trinkets, and unusual bars and cafés.

主干道鼓樓東大街的盡頭就是歷史悠久的鼓樓，它是知名景點(diǎn)。但這條街本身就是八方商賈云集之地：到處是出售仿古裝與廉價(jià)飾品的獨(dú)立商鋪以及獨(dú)具特色的酒吧和咖啡屋。

2.Houhai skating

后海溜冰

In winter, skating on this scenic lake is a brilliant way to see Gulou from a new vantage point.Houhai lies just north of the Forbidden City, the ancient palace compound that is now a museum.The only thing lacking is a warming house.

每到冬季，在風(fēng)光旖旎的后海上溜冰，是欣賞鼓樓雄姿的另一絕佳位置。后海就位于故宮之北，故宮曾是昔日皇宮所在地，如今已辟為國家博物館。游覽故宮美中不足的是沒有暖氣。

3.Lama temple

雍和宮

Very close to Gulou lies this serene oasis in the heart of frenetic Beijing.Constructed in the 17th century as a residence for court eunuchs, the building was later transformed into a Buddhist monastery.Today, it is a lovely spot to wander, burn incense and contemplate eternity for an afternoon.

在喧囂鼎沸的北京市中心、距鼓樓近在咫尺的是雍和宮這個(gè)凈土世界。它始建于17世紀(jì)，原是太監(jiān)們的居所，后來則改建成了喇嘛廟。如今，雍和宮是午后漫步、上香以及冥想來世的理想去處。

Susu越南菜館
