Excellent. The facilities and staff were both very good. The attraction itself wasn't particularly outstanding, but for movie lovers, the immersive experience was incredible. It had a distinctly Hollywood feel. Attention to detail was excellent.
Easy to purchase the e ticket from trip.com & have a wonderful time here.

The scholar said that Director Li (Xiao Hai) took me to visit the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City is beautiful and has a long history. Director Li's explanations were also very thorough, allowing me to learn about history again. The child listened very attentively.
Entering through the Meridian Gate, the red walls and yellow tiles exude a thousand-year-old majesty, while the gilded animal-shaped roof ridges of the Hall of Supreme Harmony gleam in the sunlight. Walking along the central axis, the carved beams and painted rafters of the Palace of Heavenly Purity and the winding paths of the Imperial Garden are all steeped in history.
Stepping into the Palace Museum's Treasure Gallery and Clock Gallery, one is greeted by a rich and dazzling array of artifacts. The warmth of Hetian jade, the elegance of blue and white porcelain, the intricacy of Western clocks, and the splendor of enamelware—each piece bears the mark of its era. The patterns and luster under the lights seem to converse with the ancients across a thousand years, a profound interplay of historical weight and artistic brilliance, creating an immersive and truly awe-inspiring experience.

A bus took me from the parking lot to the cable car. Where I took the car to the highest peak. My guide was friendly and helpful. She assured I had everything I needed and was extremely polite. I had a great experience visiting the Badaling Great Wall.
Очень красиво! Брали билет с подъемом на канатке, чтобы успеть посмотреть побольше, обратно шли пешком. Если подниматься на Северную часть - то потом почти всегда идешь вниз :)

Prince Gong's Mansion is truly worth a special trip! A must-see is the 99 and a half rooms of the Treasure Pavilion, where you can discover the vast wealth hidden in the cracks of the walls; take a photo of the magnificent Western-style gate and experience the Western charm within a traditional Chinese courtyard; and most importantly, don't miss touching the "Number One Blessing Under Heaven" inscription written by Emperor Qianlong, ensuring you receive abundant blessings. It's highly recommended to hire an official guide for a truly meaningful experience—the secrets hidden deep within the courtyards, the past of Heshen and Prince Gong, are all concealed in every brick and tile. Listening to these stories while exploring the mansion is the only way to truly understand this mansion, which represents "half of the Qing Dynasty's history."
Prince Gong's Mansion is definitely worth a visit. See the Treasure Pavilion and the Western-style gate, touch the "Fu" (福, meaning good fortune) character written by Emperor Qianlong, and bring good luck home. You can hire an official guide to hear the stories of Prince Gong's Mansion.

Marked as a World Heritage Site, Temple of Heaven is absolutely worth a visit! The largest building (Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests) is visible miles away if you are walking towards it (making it convenient - can close out of Baidu maps and just keep walking which is what we did haha!) We purchased tickets upon arrival, easy process. There were many people taking photographs but you can get good shots if you tilt your camera up or get lucky with timing. The park itself is beautiful and serene, making it a great place to relax and enjoy for 1-2 hours.
This activity is perfect for tourists who come on a last-minute trip and haven't made any reservations in advance. The tour guide's explanations were very engaging and the content was rich. It's a pity the time was a bit short, which felt like it limited their time to fully enjoy themselves. 😁

The Summer Palace, nestled against Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, covers over 300 hectares, with water accounting for about three-quarters of its area. Surrounded by mountains and water, it is a royal garden renowned for its breathtaking scenery. Its pavilions, halls, corridors, bridges, and terraces each possess unique characteristics, borrowing scenery from the natural environment to elevate the Summer Palace's beauty far beyond the garden itself. In 1998, the Summer Palace became a World Heritage Site.
A Brief Introduction to the Flowers, Trees, and Plants of the Summer Palace:
Ancient and Famous Trees:
* **Chinese Pine:** An evergreen tree with a beautiful shape, widely distributed throughout the Summer Palace.
* **White Pine:** A precious tree species, named for its unique white bark.
* **Chinese Arborvitae:** Commonly used in landscaping, highly ornamental.
* **Chinese Scholar Tree:** Flowers in summer with a strong fragrance, a common street tree in Beijing.
* **Ginkgo:** Its leaves turn golden in autumn, adding much autumnal color to the Summer Palace.
Flowers and Plants:
* **Magnolia:** Blooms in early spring with pure white or pink flowers, exuding fragrance, a top choice for spring flower viewing.
* **Peony:** Known as the "King of Flowers," its blooms are elegant and magnificent.
* **Plum Blossom:** Blooms in late winter and early spring, highly cold-resistant, symbolizing perseverance.
* **Lotus:** Blooming gracefully on Kunming Lake in summer, the lotus flowers stand tall and provide a refreshing feeling. Chrysanthemum: A representative flower of autumn, with many varieties and vibrant colors.

It's worth experiencing, but the problem is that tickets are hard to get; you have to try to book online a week in advance, and they sell out in seconds. Seniors can still manage to get tickets by joining a local tour group at the on-site tourist service center; the tour guide is very important.
The Hanging Temple is worth a visit. If you're not afraid of heights, you should definitely climb it. However, the scenic area is a bit of a rip-off. The ticket office and the Hanging Temple are in two separate places, and it feels like they're just trying to get you to take their shuttle bus.

I learned about this section of the Great Wall from a variety show. It's not difficult to climb, and not too steep. The sections from watchtowers 14 to 19 are occasionally steep, and the final section to Hero's Terrace is a bit treacherous, requiring the use of both hands and feet. For those with elderly family members, taking the cable car round trip is a much better option.
I absolutely loved Mutianyu! The scenery between 14 and 20 is the most beautiful! The shuttle bus and cable car saved my life! We couldn't climb the Hero's Slope, but those who made it, I salute you guys, you're real heroes!

We took my parents and children to the Summer Palace and purchased a tour guide service through the platform. The guide was very responsible, contacted us in advance, and was waiting for us at the entrance early in the morning. The explanations throughout the trip were very thorough, and we are very grateful.
The royal gardens are indeed unique and very large; you can't see them all in one day. It's best to hire a guide who can tell you many stories you don't know and also provide a reasonable tour route.

野生动物园太值得了，青少年和大人都很开心，坐小火车开动物喂动物轻松愉快，猛兽区投喂老虎黑熊狼是非常特别的体验，其他的动物也都非常温顺亲近人。离开北京前完美的一天。
The park is huge and you could easily spend a whole day there! Driving is a much better experience and allows for much more time than taking the train. Giraffes block the way, and kangaroos lazily roam the roadside. There aren't many animals you can feed; some cows and sheep are in enclosures that are out of reach by car. The giraffes by the roadside weren't very easy to feed, as staff were either urging us to hurry up or shooing our food away. So, don't bring too much food.
