The park is very big, there are many people, the service is warm and attentive, the children have a lot of fun, but it is too difficult to queue up for a few projects. We have experienced all the cost-effective projects. The child watched Harry Potter for the second time. The project was finished at around 4 o'clock. In fact, there are many projects that can be watched for the second time. The child did not want to play anymore because it was too tiring and too straining on the legs.
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is definitely a ceiling-level project. The naked-eye 5D flight is so realistic that your palms sweat. The Decepticon roller coaster has a 4.5-second ejection start, which is very exciting. The Butterbeer Smoothie version is unexpectedly refreshing, and there is basically no queue when buying at the Hog's Head Bar. But the commercial atmosphere is a bit heavy, the interactive wands are not sensitive, and the queue channel lacks rest facilities. It is recommended to buy the Express Pass - without it, you will doubt your life, and with it, the fun will be doubled! ✨🚀

This time when I came to the Forbidden City in Beijing, I made an appointment with Teacher Hou to give a tour guide. His explanation was very vivid and he told the 600-year history of the Forbidden City in an extremely wonderful way. The old and children in my group all loved listening to it. He brought us into the Forbidden City and everyone listened with gusto. I highly recommend Teacher Hou.
The explanation is vivid and interesting, and easy to understand! The tour guide, Teacher Xu, is knowledgeable and combines carefully prepared pictures to visually present the heavy history, exquisite architecture and character stories of the Forbidden City, which is fascinating. The language is clear, fluent and humorous, making history come alive. During the visit, the children asked a lot of questions, and the teacher patiently answered them one by one, and the stories were interesting. The best shooting points were also recommended, and the service was thoughtful! Professional and interesting, not only did it increase my knowledge, but I also deeply felt the profoundness of Chinese culture and the charm of the Forbidden City. It was an unforgettable cultural experience with great value, and I recommend it with five stars!

It’s an amazing place to visit, I would recommend preparing by doing some walking or just take the cable cart to the top as it saves a lot energy but your lose great scenery. Check the weather as it rained when we travelled. I would also recommend to keep in mind how to reach there, as train tickets sell out fast better book them in advance. Also the train station to bus 877 has moved to a new location and we had to rent a car to reach there on time. But an amazing experience and scenery.
If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero. If you want to go to the Great Wall, the Badaling Great Wall is the first choice. As a 5A-level scenic spot in Yanqing District, it has a place in Beijing, China, and even in the world. After all, it is the eighth wonder of the world. I avoided the crowds on May Day and chose to go on Sunday.
After arriving at Badaling, because it is a separate tourist, it is best to follow the guidance of the staff and buy tickets + cable cars on the website in advance. If you go early, you can climb the mountain in a while. But I didn't expect that there are so many tourists from all over the country coming to the Badaling Great Wall. Although there are not many people, it still feels crowded. Fortunately, the open scenic area of the Badaling Great Wall is not large. Going up the cable car, it only takes 20 minutes to visit, and then you can go down the mountain. It really proves that if you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and if you come, you are a hero.
The Badaling Great Wall is more suitable for tourists who travel with a group, not for individual tourists in Beijing. It's a bit disappointing that the mountain climbing is over before you have enough fun. But thinking about the price of the ticket and the service, it is still recommended.

Under the guidance of our guide Sun, we spent 4 hours to visit Prince Gong's Mansion. Although the weather was very hot, our guide Sun was enthusiastic and humorous. He explained the past and present of Prince Gong's Mansion and showed us the three unique treasures and one treasure of Prince Gong's Mansion. In short, the trip was worthwhile.
Xiucai said Jiang Shangyi explained the Prince Gong Mansion in detail. The Prince Gong Mansion has beautiful scenery and a rich history. Guide Jiang provided thoughtful service and professional explanation. Recommend Xiucai said it brought us a good experience!

The Temple of Heaven has exquisite architecture and profound meaning. It is suitable for children to visit. The weather is sunny in autumn, and it is also very photogenic. The entire Temple of Heaven Park is very large, so you should set aside at least half a day. It is best to report for a tour guide. With a guide's explanation, you will better understand the design of the ancient craftsmen and have a deeper understanding of the profound Chinese culture.
I like Teacher Xiao Cai's wonderful explanations. I listened more than I saw at various scenic spots in Beijing. Teacher Xiao Cai's explanations not only included ancient and modern history, interactive questions and answers, but also life philosophy. I was able to follow the whole process and persisted to the end. I can't do without Teacher Xiao Cai's explanations. I have to make an appointment with Teacher Xiao Cai! Highly recommended

Most tourists enter the Summer Palace from the East Gate, while the North Gate is less crowded and closest to the Beigongmen Station of Metro Line 4. Entering from the North Gate is Suzhou Street, which is a shopping street based on Suzhou Shantang Street. Tickets must be purchased separately. Entering the North Gate is the back mountain of the Summer Palace. The attractions of the back mountain are Xumi Lingjing and the Four Continents, which are a group of mixed Han-Tibetan Buddhist buildings. In 1755, when suppressing the Junggar Rebellion, Qianlong received support from the upper echelons of the four tribes of the Mongolian Walut, and for this reason, he specially built the Four Continents in the back mountain in imitation of the Samye Monastery in Shannan, Tibet. The Four Continents of the Summer Palace and the Four Continents of the Puning Temple in the Eight Outer Temples of the Chengde Mountain Resort use the same drawings and the same construction team. In 1860, the British and French allied forces entered the Summer Palace and burned down the Xumi Spiritual Realm. The current structure was rebuilt in 1980. From 2010 to 2012, it underwent large-scale repairs to restore the four major continents. Above the four major continents is the Sea of Wisdom, which is the tallest building in the Summer Palace and was built during the Qianlong period. The Sea of Wisdom is a stone building. The hall enshrines countless Buddha statues. The outer layer is decorated with glazed tiles and carved with thousands of glazed Buddha statues. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded, the Buddha statues were severely damaged, but now they have been repaired. Climbing up the Sea of Wisdom and looking down at Kunming Lake, one's heart is surging with emotion. History has passed here, and the stories that happened here are unforgettable.
I live near the Summer Palace, so I often go to the Summer Palace. The overall feeling is that the Summer Palace is beautiful every season, showing the style of the Royal Forest Garden. If you are a friend from other places to visit the Summer Palace, because the area of the park is very large, it is unlikely to visit the entire park in a day. It is recommended to enter the new palace gate and play for five or six hours. You can visit the following attractions: 1. Seventeen-hole bridge: After entering the new palace gate, you can go directly to the seventeen-hole bridge. It is one of the landmarks of the Summer Palace, the bridge has 17 bridge holes, beautiful shape, especially at certain times, the sun through the bridge hole, there will be a "golden light through the hole" spectacle. 2. Nanhu Island: You can reach Nanhu Island through the 17-hole bridge. There are buildings such as the Dragon King Temple on the island. Here you can enjoy the panoramic view of Kunming Lake and feel the vastness and tranquility of the lake. 3. Xidi: Walking along the west bank of Kunming Lake can come to Xidi, the peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, the scenery is picturesque, and other seasons have different beautiful scenery. In summer, the trees are shaded, the autumn lake is autumn, and the winter silver is wrapped in vegetarian clothes. You can also enjoy the chic landscape such as the Xidi Liuqiao. 4. Corridor: Return from the West Dike, you can go to the Corridor. The Corridor is the longest colored gallery in the world, 728 meters long, and each beam in the corridor is painted with colored paintings, bright colors, rich content, and very artistic value. 5. Foxiang Pavilion: The end of the promenade is close to the Foxiang Pavilion. The Foxiang Pavilion is the commanding height of the Summer Palace. It can overlook the entire Kunming Lake and the surrounding scenery, and the scenery of Wanshou Mountain can be seen. It is also the essence of the Summer Palace architecture. 6. Leshoutang: From the Buddha Xiang Monastery, you can go to Leshoutang. This is the Queen Mother Cixi's Bedroom Palace. There is a famous Taihu Stone "Qingzhixuan" in the courtyard. There are many cultural relics and treasures on display in the hall, which can make tourists feel the luxury of royal court life. 7. Renshou Palace: Continue to reach Renshou Palace, which is the political center of the Summer Palace, the place where Qianlong and Emperor Guangxu came to the dynasty for political affairs. There are many cultural relics and decorations on display in the palace. You can learn about the scene of the royal government activities here.

This is probably the easiest part of the Great Wall to climb. The renovated stone steps are effortless to climb. It is more convenient to rent a car to go there, which does not waste time, and the return trip is also a resting process.
Very good. I took my parents to the whole city on the ropeway, without having to climb the mountain. The scenery is good and there are relatively few people. It is a recommended scenic spot with complete supporting facilities. I had a lot of fun🥳

The Hanging Temple is very spectacular when viewed from below. Unfortunately, I only bought the first ticket and forgot to book the ticket to enter the temple. I saw that the online reservation was full when I arrived at the upper entrance, so it was too late to go down and buy it. But it was very good to see it from below.
It is worth buying a VIP boarding ticket during the peak tourist season. There is a special car to pick you up from the Hengshan Visitor Center to the entrance of the Hanging Temple. It is a special entrance and exit. A special tour guide will lead you to the Hanging Temple from the Northern Wei Plank Road Research Institute and give you a tour. You don't have to wait in line for two hours to board. After you get off, you will also receive cultural and tourism gifts.

It feels like a big park. It doesn't seem worth it to spend so much on tickets. The three means of transportation inside also cost a lot of money. The scenery is nice. After all, it is a royal garden, but it just doesn't feel worth it. Hahahaha, maybe I'm too poor.
Chengde Mountain Resort is a stunning royal garden. It is very large and is divided into palace area, lake area, mountain area and plain area. It takes about three or four hours to visit and is a worthwhile attraction.

Visitors in the self-driving area can watch animals from a 360-degree angle in the car. The animals will actively come up to ask for food, which is very interesting. The walking area has a special interactive area where visitors can feed alpacas, camels and other animals, and watch performances such as animal behavior displays.
It's really fun here. It's my first time bringing my kids here. There are many animals. I drove in and took a walk around first, then lined up for the beast world. It wasn't too hot, clean and sanitary. The kids were very happy!
