I tried eight projects and a performance in one day. I was tired but happy... I experienced the surprise of 30,000 steps a day. It is worth going. I will go again next time. It is worth the trip.
I lined up a long time in advance, but I didn't have to wait in line for a long time. Each project was very fast, the experience was very good, and the performances were wonderful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The Forbidden City Study Camp, led by Teacher Li Zhuang, was the most cost-effective activity of the four-day Beijing tour and received the best response from the children. I was impressed by Teacher Li's professional knowledge. He expressed his ideas in a humorous way that children can best understand, and his intelligent interactions with the children were also very professional. He is an excellent disseminator of Chinese traditional culture 👍👍👍, so awesome~
Walking through the Forbidden City with Guide Lin Yi was like watching a dramatic historical drama!
There was no boring, scripted reading; instead, there was the warmth of sharing with a friend. The whole experience was filled with laughter and educational insights.
Definitely the perfect guide for the Forbidden City!

This Forbidden City study tour was fantastic. I've visited several times before, but this time I brought my niece with me. To get a deeper understanding, I signed up for the tour. This time, Mr. Xu, a top scholar in Beijing, led the group. He was very insightful, knowledgeable, and humorous. I give him a thumbs up!
This was a simple pick up and drop off service as the ticket says but it doesn’t mention an extra cost is needed for the cable car when you get there. (There also is no Chinese speaking option). There was not a lot of time up at the wall so the experience felt rushed, an extra hour would have been better.There are closer options to Beijing of visiting the Great Wall that looked less crowded. But value for money I can’t fault as it was direct and allowed me to visit the Great Wall.

It's beautiful and I can't take it all in. The teacher explained it in detail and the children listened attentively. The teacher also let the children ask questions on the spot and he answered them. 👍👍Starting from the origin of the grottoes, from ancient times to the present, both in China and abroad, he talked about a lot of knowledge points, thumbs up👍
Standing before the Yungang Grottoes, I was truly awestruck. Those thousand-year-old Buddha statues, some still vibrantly colored, still stand there. If possible, definitely book a guided tour! We only had a standard tour, which was a bit disappointing. We arrived late, so only the standard tour was available. What a shame.

Xiucai said Jiang Shangyi took us to visit Prince Gong's Mansion. The guide was professional and professional. Prince Gong's Mansion is a must-see place when visiting Beijing. It is very popular here. Under the guidance of the guide, we visited all the open attractions. The experience was great! The service was great! Highly cost-effective! Highly recommended Xiucai
During my recent stay in Beijing, Xiucai said that Jiang Shangyi's tour guide's interpretation of Prince Gong's Mansion was the most worthwhile expense I made. It can be said that the Prince Gong Mansion was brought to life. You are not visiting a dull and simple tourist attraction, but you are immersing yourself in a piece of history. Visitors feel like the protagonists wandering in it. I feel that this is what interpretation is. Xiucai will be my first choice for future travel.

The Temple of Heaven is much larger than I imagined. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is truly majestic and spectacular. You can't truly appreciate it without experiencing it firsthand. I highly recommend going if you haven't been!
It was definitely pollen season, but we didn't encounter any, which was fine.
The Temple of Heaven is always crowded, so be sure to go early, otherwise you'll be missing everyone.

This scenic spot is truly worth visiting! The moment you enter, you're surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air. The trails are well-maintained, with clear signage along the way, so you never have to worry about getting lost. The scenery at the core attractions is absolutely stunning, with pictures of the picturesque mountains and clear waters that could easily be wallpapered. Even the children in my group were delighted.
The staff were also very friendly and patiently answered my questions. The rest areas and restrooms in the scenic area were very clean. After a long walk, it was wonderful to rest in the shade and enjoy the gentle breeze. The overall experience was fantastic, and I've already put it on my list for a future visit with friends.
Jinan's Baotu Spring in spring is a perfect destination for couples, with many highlights to experience:
- Beautiful Natural Scenery: Spring boasts abundant rainfall, and the spring's water gushes at its highest levels, with three jets reaching half a meter high and creating a majestic spectacle. Beside the spring, weeping willows are beginning to sprout new green leaves, their branches gently brushing the water, creating a striking contrast with the quaint architecture. Within the gardens, magnolias, apricot blossoms, cherry blossoms, and crabapple trees bloom in succession, their petals drifting into the spring, swirling with the current, creating a scene where time seems to have slowed down.
- Rich Cultural Atmosphere: The Baotu Spring scenic area houses the Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall, a charming and quaint place. The Shuyu Spring at its entrance is said to have been her inspiration, offering couples a chance to immerse themselves in the elegance and talent of this talented woman. Wanzhu Garden is another hidden gem, with its canopy of bamboo groves and winding corridors, imbued with a classical charm.
- A Variety of Activities: From late March to early April, there are frequent "Spring Tea Gatherings," where couples can experience the traditional art of brewing tea with Baotu Spring water and enjoy a relaxing and relaxing time. Additionally, there may be folk performances within the park, such as shadow puppetry and Shandong Kuaishu, allowing couples to experience the charm of local traditional culture during their visit.
- A Photo Spot: In spring, the blossoms of Baotu Spring are in full bloom, creating a perfect frame for the ancient buildings. Couples wearing light-colored Hanfu or modern Chinese clothing will find stunning photos here, creating romantic and beautiful memories.
- Convenient Surroundings: Baotu Spring enjoys convenient transportation, with direct access via Metro Line 2, a 5-minute walk from the station. Also about a 5-minute walk from the north gate are restaurants like "Lao Zhou's Beef Shaobing," where you can enjoy authentic Jinan breakfast dishes such as beef shaobing and sweet rice cakes, adding a delicious touch to your couple's trip.

Beijing locals typically enter the park through the West Gate early in the morning, take a stroll or run, and exit the park by 9:00 AM. The West Causeway is relatively less crowded with tourists! Recommended: The "Plowing and Weaving Picture Scenic Area" on the West Causeway offers a breathtaking view of the three-dimensional beauty of the carvings, even through the glass windows. It's a great spot for summer lotus viewing. For those visiting from other places, after touring the West Causeway, we recommend taking a Kunming Lake cruise directly to the 17-Arch Bridge Pier. This saves time and allows you to explore the scenic spots along the East Causeway to the North Ruyi Gate. Enjoy the Huguang mountain scenery, the Bronze Bull, the Ten-Mile Art Gallery, and the Marble Boat. Those with more stamina can ascend the "Painting Tour" halfway up the mountain to the "Buddha Fragrance Pavilion." Then, descend the back hill to visit the "Harmonious Garden," and finally exit the park through the North Palace Gate.
The tour guide's explanation was detailed. You must ask for an explanation when visiting attractions in Beijing so that you can learn more about the historical stories behind them. The Summer Palace is very large, and taking a boat ride was very pleasant.

It's a must-see attraction, so there are a lot of people. Summer vacation is the peak season. There are still a lot of people at the entrance after 5 o'clock. The road is jammed. I went directly to the opposite side and took the bus. There was a surprise. We were going to see Rumeng Jinyang in the evening. The bus can go directly to the entrance of Jin Temple. There are few people and the bus is fast, which is beyond our expectations.
When you come to Shanxi, you must visit the Jin Temple. The heavy sense of history there cannot be compared with the so-called ancient cities today. Only by coming here can you feel the sedimentation of history and the traces of time.

Pingyao Ancient City's well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty appearance is breathtaking, with majestic city walls and quaint streets. As the birthplace of Shanxi merchants, it boasts a wealth of historical relics, including banknote exchanges and escort agencies, showcasing ancient Chinese finance and market culture. This rich historical heritage makes it a highly recommended visit.
You absolutely have to buy a pass, otherwise what's the point of visiting? Even with a pass, you wouldn't be able to see everything in two days. My favorite part is the Ma Family Courtyard. The county government office is huge, and you can see the prison, something ordinary people couldn't see before. Exit the South Gate before 8 p.m. and wait for the light show.
