National Tide 1980.

Chapter 975
On the morning of February 1986, 2, Ning Weimin came to the Temple of Heaven alone.

This day is Tuesday, which is also the tenth day of the first lunar month.

To say that the treasure land of Tiantan Park is even more exaggerated than Tianqiao Shopping Mall.

Don't think it's a working day, that person's name is more than one.

In fact, as soon as Ning Weimin took the bus past Zhushikou, he could feel that the traffic was obviously congested.

The buses that had already missed the morning rush hour for work not only became overcrowded again, but also a little slow to move.

There are people on both sides of the road, and it is dark.

Both pedestrians and cyclists.

Either go south to the west gate of the Temple of Heaven, or go east and turn around to go to the north gate of the Temple of Heaven.

Cars are also plentiful.

Carts, cars, buses, tourist buses, three bungees, jeeps...all crowded on the road.

When Ning Weimin sat at the north gate of the Temple of Heaven, he was even more startled.

It can be seen from a long distance, people here are like thousands of streams returning to the clan, cyclists, walkers, and people who get off all kinds of cars are pouring water into the north gate of the Temple of Heaven!

It looks like porridge.

There is no need to think about it at all, everyone is rushing to the New Year's Garden Party, so there is no running away.

So Ning Weimin, who managed to squeeze out of the bus, couldn't help but feel excited.

After thinking about it, he simply changed his original plan and decided not to go to the Tangong Restaurant, but to go to the Temple of Heaven Park first.

He wanted to see if Qiao Wanlin and the Director of the Temple of Heaven had any better ideas?

Why does this year's Spring Festival Garden attract more tourists than last year?

Actually, Ning Weimin was a bit left-handed.

Neither Qiao Wanlin nor the person in charge of the Temple of Heaven Park had the same brains as he had that day.

The main reason why there are so many people at the Spring Festival Garden Party in Tiantan Park this year is that it will still fall on him.

Why do you say that?
Because apart from the location of the Temple of Heaven Park, it is very moderate, and the traffic extends in all directions, which is very convenient.

Those who come to visit the Temple of Heaven only need to go out from the west gate, and they can visit the Tianqiao shopping mall and the Natural History Museum.

If you come from the north, you can take a stroll around the front gate when you go back.

But more importantly, with Ning Weimin's years of support, the Temple of Heaven area and the Qianmen area have become one piece without knowing it.

It has become a connected, diverse and all-encompassing business district in the south of the capital.

Just say what you plan to do.

Is it food, drink and merrymaking?Is it a visit to appreciate?Is it to appreciate folklore?
Or buy something?See a movie?take pictures?entertainment?
There is everything here, just like a big kaleidoscope.

In addition, the composition of tourists who come to the Temple of Heaven is not the same as other places.

Those who visit temple fairs elsewhere are all locals from the capital, plus some tourists from other places.

On weekdays, as soon as the locals go to work, there are not many people shopping.

But don't forget that a large part of the tourists in the Temple of Heaven are foreigners.

Who made the relationship between Temple of Heaven Park and major travel agencies strong.

You know, all the tricks Ning Weimin came up with were aimed at foreigners, trying to arouse their interest and make money from them.

Those tour guides have "special interests" here at the Temple of Heaven.

Since the Spring Festival garden party is the easiest time to tempt foreigners to spend money, who doesn't go all out to send guests here?

So in today's capital, apart from the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, there is no other place that attracts foreigners as much as Tiantan Park.

Unknowingly, with the opening of the country and more and more foreigners coming to Beijing, Tiantan Park has become a small expert in earning foreign exchange.

The reputation of truth theory may not be as loud as that of the Summer Palace and Beihai, but it is worth talking about the benefits.

The Temple of Heaven Park, a rising star, has already surpassed them, ranking third among the tourist attractions in the capital.

All in all, Ning Weimin was a little unaware of the limitations of being in the game, and never thought that he himself was the biggest contributor.

The reason why the Spring Festival Garden Party in Tiantan Park was so lively was precisely because of the word of mouth he created, and after years of accumulation, it began to enter a virtuous circle of fermentation.

In fact, both Qiao Wanlin and the Temple of Heaven are still doing what Xiao Gui and Cao Sui did according to his original plan. There has not been much change, and they are purely eating dividends.

But having said that, even so, Ning Weimin had a great time shopping.

Because of one, after leaving the capital for more than half a year, he finally returned home for the New Year, and he really looked at the bustling scenes in the Temple of Heaven Park very cordially.

You know, from the earliest sculpture art exhibition, it finally evolved into a Spring Festival garden party.

All the planning and design from top to bottom are almost the result of Ning Weimin's painstaking efforts over the years.

When I came back again, I found that these things are still so popular and well received by tourists.

He walks in the crowd, sees in the eyes, hears in the ear, that is called a beauty.

For him, the instigator, this is praise and praise in disguise.

Who doesn't like to hear other people say good things about themselves, and don't like to hear others praise themselves?
Second, when he stayed in Tiantan Park in the past, even though Ning Weimin was the chief designer of the Spring Festival Garden Party, he had never strolled around the Spring Festival Garden Party so easily.

At that time, although he was regarded as the one who gave orders, he was surrounded by people wherever he went, like the stars holding the moon, but that was work.

With a heavy burden, he visits the park to inspect the operation of the park to see if there are any deficiencies.

Once a problem is found, all I can think about is how to remedy it and whether it can be improved.

It's different today, he has no official and a light body, so he doesn't have to bear any responsibility at all.

Feeling happy, strolling in the courtyard, wearing white dragon fish clothes, private visits in micro clothes.

All you can see are the colorful windmills, balloons and blooming smiling faces around you, and you can hear the noise of people coming and going and street vendors yelling.

Opened his mouth, enough to eat a large bunch of candied haws.

Stretch your legs and dive into the greedy and funny pile of new gadgets.

Especially the smell in the nose, the most unavoidable craving aroma.

The joy and happiness that I feel is naturally very different.

Third, when Ning Weimin visited the Temple of Heaven today, he found that although there were no major surprises in the garden, there were refreshing ideas.

But Qiao Wanlin and the management of the Temple of Heaven are not just for nothing after all.

Whether it is content or service, there are improvements and improvements in details, as well as small surprises that bring forth the new.

At least it should be praised as "carry forward".

Not to mention anything else, let me say that the hardware facilities and services have improved significantly.

Sanitary flush toilets have been newly built in several places.

In today's Temple of Heaven Park, even male tourists don't need to urinate in the straw curtain area of ​​the forest.

The toilets in the park can basically meet the basic needs of park customers.

There are also more trash cans and seats, and basically all the main corridors are installed.

Therefore, tourists who are tired from walking can basically find a place to rest at any time as long as they stay on the main corridor of the park.

Don't underestimate these things. Being able to do this is already far ahead of the tourist attractions in the capital.

It is the Forbidden City. In terms of these hardware facilities, it is not as good as the Temple of Heaven Park.

And more importantly, in the content of eating, drinking and having fun, a lot of new content and small highlights have obviously been added.

Its richness is also far beyond Ning Weimin's imagination.

For example, such well-known old restaurants as Baikui Old Restaurant in Longfu Temple, Dasanyuan Restaurant in Jingshan West Street, Shundonglai Restaurant in Wangfujing, Barbecue Season in Shichahai, Yanji Restaurant in Xisi, and Tianfu Restaurant in Xidan.

As well as Fengnian Enema, Baishui Yangtou, Wonton Hou, and Tea Tang Li, which are popular snacks among the people.

These are all old accounts originally located in the north of the capital city, not in the south city.

But this time, he went to the Spring Festival Garden Party in the Temple of Heaven to show his face.

In the past, if Ning Weimin wanted to eat once, he had to travel a long way.

But this time they are connected in a string, and he can buy whatever he wants to eat.

What's more, the food factory that came back to conduct promotions on the spot is not just the polar bear food factory that has a good relationship with the Temple of Heaven.

Yili Food Factory, which was far away on Changchun Street, also chased after them to enclose a piece of territory, and set up a battle.

Yili Factory's flagship products, such as fruit bread, vitamin bread, wafer chocolate, and wafer biscuits, are all on display.

It has formed a tit-for-tat and complementary situation with those canned and juice products of polar bears.

In addition, chrysanthemum white, which has been extinct for more than [-] years in Beijing, has also reappeared at the booth of Renhe Winery.

As one of the famous "Three Whites" (Lotus White, Chrysanthemum White and Qingwangfu Brewed White) in old Beijing, it is the flagship product of the royal wine workshop "Renhe Hotel".

It is processed as more than 20 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines. It has the effect of improving eyesight, clearing liver, and turning white hair to black.

This has attracted many elderly and educated old people to stop here and buy a few bottles at home.

Furthermore, since the Spring Festival Garden at the Temple of Heaven is known as the "foreign temple fair", foreign food is also indispensable.

This time, not only the buffet category of Maxim’s Restaurant has been enriched, but also more French pastries and snacks have been sold.

The Zhaigong Café, which Menimus took over, has almost copied all the dishes of Menimus.

Even the Chunming Food Store, which was inherited from the French bakery of the Republic of China in Nada, Chongwenmen, also brought the most traditional French mud field, dry cloth sausage, round ham, pickled cucumber, coconut sauce and raisin bagels, and small butter bread to join in the fun up.

Even just entering the mainland market, they are advertising on TV stations, and set up a stall with the slogan "Didi is fragrant, and the meaning is endless" and "Mai's Coffee", which has long been a challenge to Nescafé, which is already well-known to everyone.

In the eyes of Ning Weimin, instant coffee, which is purely a contemporary joke, was sold at a discounted price of [-]% to Chinese people who have no knowledge these days.

Just for such old foreign things, it would not be too much to say that this year's Spring Festival Garden Party is a French gastronomy festival.

So it can be seen from this that the Spring Festival Garden Party at the Temple of Heaven has become a social and cultural event with influence covering the whole city, and almost all well-known catering companies, even foreign-funded companies, will actively participate.

Unlike in the past, only a small corner, only two districts in Nancheng participated, subject to geographical restrictions.

For another example, it is completely different from the last time the Temple of Heaven was "sneak-attacked" by the Temple of Earth, which resulted in the Spring Festival Garden Party of the Temple of Heaven not being able to invite folk entertainers to perform their performances during the first month.

In the end, I had no choice but to choose Peking Opera actors to save the scene.

This time they did it.

Regardless of the folk art programs that are popular with the audience, it is still wrestling, playing Chinese flags, pulling foreign films, playing lions, walking on stilts, and running dry boats.

This year's Spring Festival Garden Party, the Temple of Heaven Park not only has everything available, but also keeps pace with the times and has a relationship with foreign things.

How do you say this?

As we all know, in general, if you follow the tradition.

Based on the legend that the willow branches in the Guanyin Jingping bottle thought of the lower realm, and the big-headed monk was ordered to re-create it.

The beginning of the dry boat must be the farce that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, "The Big Head Monk Du Liucui".

The male character wears a smiling "big head monk" mask, a long blue cloth gown, holds a wooden fish, and a folding fan inserted into the collar behind his neck.

And the female character dressed as a woman has a cloud head pressing on the temples, flowers are inserted obliquely, dressed in Caidan clothes, and holds a handkerchief.

One is shaking his head, with a naive look.

The other is graceful and graceful, pretending to be shy.

Every Chinese citizen should have seen this scene.

But the Temple of Heaven Park is different this year, except for the traditional roles of a man and a woman.

I don't know whose idea it was, but foreign characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck were added.

In full view, with the drum beat of "Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang --"

I saw a mouse and a duck, two "foreign friends" made of clay, also came out holding hydrangeas.

Despite their baggy costumes, they still managed to strike various poses.

And this is not the end, what follows closely are the stories of other folk stories and fairy tales, such as "The Foolish Son Going to Beijing", "Fishing and Woodcutter Farming and Reading Four Seasons", "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "Legend of the White Snake", "Journey to the West" and so on. in the middle of the character.

They even mixed in the black cat sheriff, white cat police officer and mouse "one ear".

These cartoon characters are the most popular characters sought after by children across the country through CCTV's "Animation World" column at [-] o'clock every day this year.

If you think about it, you will know how lively the scene is.

Regardless of Chinese, foreign, modern or traditional roles, without exception, under the bright rhythm, these stilt dances are extremely humorous and witty, doing their best to perform tricks such as twisting, shaking, chasing, and teasing.

It was really an alternative and avant-garde performance, combining local and foreign, very interesting.

As for the West Tianmen Outer Altar and the children's activity area, there are also ingenious things.

You know, there is not only the tree house built by Ning Weimin for the children, the small zoo planned by him, and the performers of the acrobatic troupe who come to perform on time, but also several new folk shows this year.

In addition to the juggling that the bird trainer can direct the little yellow bird to pick up cards, there is also a foreign film that relies on singing "West Lake View" to attract people.

Like playing monkeys, it is something that children will be excited about whenever they watch it.

The animal trainers who do this are all countrymen, who can beat gongs and sing, and carry this small box on their backs.

They often make the little monkeys they train wear gowns and hats, pick up a pole for a while, and ride a buggy for a while.

In terms of training difficulty, it is definitely not as good as the animal taming performance of a real acrobatic troupe.

But because the program is straightforward and humorous, there is no child who does not like to watch it.

There is also a kind of entertainment performance, which was called "playing Wudiu" in Beijing in the past. To put it bluntly, it is a puppet show sung by one person.

The actor used a pole to support a two-foot-square stage, surrounded by coarse blue cloth, and then he hid in it alone, performing and singing.

To be honest, the person invited by the Temple of Heaven this year did not have enough props, although he only sang the play "Wang Xiao Beats the Tiger".

But most of today's children have never seen this kind of puppet show, and they still attract all their attention.

In fact, let alone the child, even Ning Weimin saw it for the first time.

It can't be said that he is still a child at heart, but it can be said that the master is among the people.

We don't know how many wonderful things in our lives have disappeared without knowing it.
