Universal Studios was great. For us, it was our first time there, and the experience on Monday was quite good. Each queue was less than 20 minutes long. The Harry Potter area was incredibly popular, filled with young people taking photos in wizard costumes. The staff giving birthday wishes to visitors during their birthday month was a nice touch. However, I'd suggest training the actors for the parade. Some actors would wish you a happy birthday, but none of the Minions, our favorite, came to interact with us. My husband waited a long time to take photos, and none of them came, which was quite awkward 😅. Also, there's really no need to buy the Donglaishun 8.8% off coupon. Honestly, it was a bit of a rip-off because it only applies to directly operated stores. We didn't know this at first and thought it would work as long as the store was called Donglaishun, so we chose one near our accommodation. However, we were told that our store was a franchise and couldn't use the coupon…
It's so-so! A chicken leg costs 40, and a pancake costs 55. The tuna pancake is okay! Great value for money. It's also really expensive. It's pretty good. I think it's pretty good. Only the tuna is really good. The rest is really not that great. I suggest going straight for the Forbidden Journey. Otherwise, you'll be queuing all day. I kept my eyes closed the whole time. Anyway.

Must visit make sure you have a great guide. We have privately booked Christina and wouldn’t have it otherwise. A lot of history!
Today, under Teacher Niu's guidance, the children embarked on a lively and interesting exploration of the Forbidden City. Teacher Niu narrated the story in a captivating and engaging way, and the children were completely engrossed. Everything was wonderful as expected! Thank you, Teacher Niu!

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 :)
Liu Yicheng, the tour guide, gave an excellent explanation. His explanations were detailed, enthusiastic, and engaging. It's clear he's a passionate history enthusiast who simply wants to share knowledge.

The Prince Gong's Mansion encapsulates half of Qing Dynasty history. This tour of the Prince Gong's Mansion, guided by Director Zeng, was vivid and interesting. The key artifacts were explained simply, and the two hours flew by. I would definitely book this activity with Ctrip again in the future.
We hired a tour guide on site, and listened to stories about Heshen's past along the way. Prince Gong's Mansion is like a mini version of the Forbidden City. I recommend visiting the Forbidden City first, and then coming to 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.

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!
Mutianyu is majestic and picturesque, a pride of the Chinese people. The tour guide service was warm, and the bus was very clean. Thanks to Busda. I love the Great Wall, and I love China.

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.

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.
