The Badaling section of the Ming Great Wall is known as the "Jade Pass Natural Barrier," one of the eight scenic spots of Juyongguan Pass during the Ming Dynasty. Badaling was the first section of the Ming Great Wall to be opened to tourists, renowned worldwide for its magnificent scenery, well-maintained facilities, and profound cultural and historical significance, making it a world-famous tourist destination. Climb the Great Wall, enjoy the scenery, and be a hero. Everyone visiting Beijing should climb the Great Wall at least once.
Absolutely worth a visit! Visiting Badaling any time of year or season is a dream come true; classic landmarks never go out of style, especially as it's a symbol of the Chinese nation's grandeur and indomitable spirit. Whether you drive, use public transport, or take a day trip, you can get there. There are many Great Wall sites around Beijing, but Badaling is undoubtedly the most representative and best-preserved. Various modes of transportation will take you to the scenic area's bus transfer station, from where there's a cable car, but most people prefer to climb. With the spirit of "He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true hero," a photo on the Hero's Slope is full of energy; standing under the North Gate's key tower evokes contemplation; and finally, reaching the highest beacon tower, the moment you gaze upon the winding Great Wall stretching as far as the eye can see, the feeling of grandeur is indescribable.

Universal Studios fans should definitely go! The park is huge and beautiful both day and night, perfect for taking amazing photos. There's also a kids' version of the roller coaster, which is perfect for someone like me who's afraid of thrill rides. I highly recommend it!
Stepping into Universal Studios Beijing is like opening a door to a parallel universe. The trivialities and worries of the real world are instantly left behind, and a wondrous adventure full of surprises and awe begins.
Upon entering the park, Hollywood Boulevard greets you with dazzling lights and retro architecture, transporting you back to the golden age of Hollywood. The shops lining the street are overflowing with exquisite souvenirs that seem to tell the captivating stories of various movie worlds, drawing visitors to stop and browse.
Continuing along the avenue, you'll encounter seven themed areas, each unique and enchanting. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is undoubtedly one of the most popular areas. Stepping into Hogwarts Castle, the ancient stone walls, mysterious portraits, and flickering candles instantly fill the magical atmosphere. Hop on the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey roller coaster, soaring through the air with Harry, battling Dementors, the realistic special effects and immersive experience make everyone feel like a member of Hogwarts, personally experiencing the thrills and excitement of the magical world. Stepping out of the castle, you can grab a sweet and rich butterbeer from the butterbeer stand, savoring the foam dancing on your tongue and immersing yourself in the magical atmosphere.
Minion Land is a sea of joy. Everywhere you look, there are adorable, round Minion elements. The colorful buildings and cute decorations make you feel like you've stepped into a giant animated world. In the Despicable Me Minions' Mischief ride, visitors embark on a fun adventure with the Minions. The realistic 3D effects and engaging interactive elements keep the laughter flowing. Children run and play freely, while adults are charmed by the Minions' innocence, rediscovering their own childlike wonder.
Transformers Base is filled with a sense of technology and futurism. A giant Optimus Prime model stands majestically, seemingly guarding its territory. The Decepticon Roller Coaster, with its high speed and thrilling flips, is a challenge for the brave. As the roller coaster hurtles out like lightning, the whistling wind and screams of the riders create an exhilarating thrill. In Transformers: Battle for the AllSpark, visitors fight alongside the Autobots, experiencing the power of justice and courage in the fierce battle.
Besides the exciting rides, Universal Studios' various shows and parades are not to be missed. The actors' superb performances bring the characters from the movies to life, immersing the audience in the captivating storylines. During the parades, brightly colored floats and enthusiastic performers slowly make their way along the streets, interacting closely with visitors, filling the entire park with a sea of joy.

This zoo is suitable for family visits. You can feed different kinds of animals up close, and the animals don't smell very bad. However, the animal feed inside the zoo is quite expensive, so I suggest doing some research beforehand to find a better option. 😂
It's super fun and suitable for all ages. The ticket is relatively cheap if you don't take the bus, and you can easily spend a whole day there. In the morning, feed the carnivores first, then ride the mini-train. Definitely don't drive in!

It’s a fun and buzzing place for both adults and kids. There a lot of interactive activities, live performances, music, stamp stations and beautiful scenery/areas. Some parts are under construction, so the walkway to forest area was a bit tight with people taking photos, games, stamp stations and people trying to walk past. However, it was fun and my nieces and nephews enjoyed it. The lovely young man who checked our tickets realised that he gave us Chinese passports, went out of his way to find us and to give us the English passports for our stamp collections. My niece and nephew really appreciated that.
I would say go to Poland in a year because they are gonna build a big spot! But even right now there’s so much fun. Don’t forget to check the schedule of the shows. We had lots of fun for almost 4 hours.

It’s definitely worth a visit to the Panda Pavilion in Beijing Zoo. The ticket to the panda pavilion is single entry, once you exit the panda pavilion you can’t re-enter but you could get a new ticket if you want to. There’s a very nice cafe inside the panda pavilion, it’s on the first floor. There are coffee and desserts. There are three pandas at the Olympic house and two pandas at the Asian games house. The zoo opened at 7:30am but the panda pavilion opened at 8am. The pandas are all behind glass wall therefore it’s difficult to capture photos or videos without reflections. There’s a metro station right outside the zoo. There are plenty of food, drinks and souvenirs shops inside the zoo. I don’t think there’s a toilet inside the panda pavilion but within the zoo there are plenty of toilets available.
Now that the weather is getting cooler, many of the animals in the zoo are not released outdoors and have returned to their dormitories. However, some animals are kept outside for people to watch. Due to the weather, there are not many visitors on weekends. It is recommended that parents with children bring their children here for a walk and teach them some animal knowledge. The area of the Beijing Zoo is not very large, so two hours is enough for a circle. There are many kinds of animals. Every morning, many elderly people do morning exercises here to breathe fresh air. In short, the environment is not bad.

Beautiful! I must come back to see it next time I come to Tianjin. The scenic area is good. It increases my patriotism and improves my knowledge of national defense. If you have children, you must bring them here to learn.
On Monday, I made an appointment with friends to go to the Tianjin TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park. Military enthusiasts like me couldn't take our eyes off the park. The simulated gun turret operation on the deck was incredibly immersive. When we got tired of exploring, we sat by the sea, enjoying the breeze and chatting. It was quite relaxing, and we took tons of cool photos. It was a weekday, so there were fewer people, so the experience was truly amazing. I'll definitely be back next time!

A beautiful scenic spot at night, with bright lights and reflections on the lake, it's like a dream. There aren't many people in the scenic area because it's winter, but the environment is great. Jinan's winter is still slightly warm, and the swaying willow branches are a big difference from the bare trees in the north. There's nothing special about Chaoran Building. The main attraction is the panoramic view from the top. There's an extra-long clay sculpture group on the first floor that shows the old street scene of Jinan. It's a special place! There are no exhibitions on the other floors.
The lake is vast and the scenery is beautiful. However, the service is completely lacking. For a boat tour, the whole family had to queue under the scorching sun to buy tickets. The electric cars couldn't be boarded midway, so they had to walk all the way to the starting point. It was exhausting for the whole family. For such a famous tourist attraction in Shandong Province, such poor service is truly rare.

The China Science and Technology Museum is not only a paradise for children to learn, but adults can also learn a lot of knowledge. However, you must ask for explanations. Our teacher Xiao Liu is great. She has rich knowledge reserves, vivid explanations, and is very friendly to the children. I hope to hear her explanations again next time I come.
The scale and content of the China Science and Technology Museum are incomparable to those of local science and technology museums, especially the Space Museum, which actually has rocket engines! Teacher Lin's explanation is very good, and it is interesting to talk about the past and the present. The whole family gained a lot.

The Araya scenic area is excellent and highly recommended. Located in the Gold Coast Resort, it boasts a long coastline and beautiful beaches. Summer is the best time to visit. Since it's a closed-door area, safety is guaranteed.
Hidden beneath the coastal dunes, the Aranya Dune Art Museum is a work of land art in its own right. Its interior resembles a mysterious cave, with winding galleries connected by several light wells. Natural light pours in, blending with the sea breeze and the sound of waves to become part of the exhibition. Experiencing contemporary art here and experiencing the ingenious fusion of man-made and natural elements is a unique sensory experience.

Recommended by a friend from Shandong, this is a relatively new tourist attraction. The visitor center has a large parking area with plenty of spaces. After reaching the main gate, you need to take a bus to get to the rest of the park; the ticket includes shuttle bus service. The park itself is quite large. The university hall has eight floors and five exhibition halls themed around benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness. It also features performances, souvenirs, a 5D movie, and a restaurant. Outdoors, there's a 70-meter-tall statue of Confucius, and there's a light and fireworks show at night. It's definitely worth bringing children to experience.
The setting is tranquil, with a gurgling stream, a bridge, and a few stone houses, giving it a sense of paradise. The room itself is fully equipped and comfortable. The service was also very friendly, especially the breakfast attendant. Even though we had to get up early to travel, she prepared a delicious and varied breakfast for us at 6:30 AM. Thank you so much!
