We arrived before 10:00 AM and were able to enter the park in about 20 minutes—very quick.
The joyful atmosphere was immediately apparent upon entering. We took it easy, choosing whichever attractions were least crowded. In total, we managed to do 10 attractions that day.
The Halloween haunted houses were fun, and Mansion 81 was the most frightening. It was just that the experience lasted a long time. The supposed ghosts were put on by the staff, so just don't be the first one to arrive.
The restaurants along the North Ring Road are really good. Several on Universal Boulevard are reasonably priced, and there's even KFC.
All in all, we had a fun day.
It's a rare opportunity to visit Universal Studios. September 20th marked the park's fourth anniversary, and the park was packed. The Harry Potter area was the most popular, and they even had limited capacity. Many rides had long lines, and 90-minute waits were common. The rides were more thrilling than those at Shanghai Disneyland, which were relatively mild.

I last visited the Forbidden City in Beijing eighteen years ago, when my daughter was only three. Before she could remember, I took her to explore this largest and most complete imperial palace from the Ming and Qing dynasties (and one of the largest and most intact wooden structures in the world). Revisiting this place eighteen years later, I felt compelled to delve deeper into its historical context, so I booked a small tour on Ctrip to gain a deeper understanding. Ctrip offers many tour options, with varying group sizes and sizes. I was truly blessed to be part of a guided tour with Professor Zhang Xin. Before entering the tour area, Professor Zhang gave you a brief history of the Forbidden City, giving you a preliminary impression. He then went on to explain the history of each artifact in detail, making this small tour a truly worthwhile experience.
I stayed in Beijing for a long time on business, and my wife brought the children to visit Beijing on the weekend. We did not reserve tickets for the Forbidden City. In order to let the children visit the Forbidden City and make the trip worthwhile, we signed up for the Beijing Champion Study Class on Ctrip. Teacher Li Zhuang led the group. Fortunately, there were not many children in the group, so we enjoyed VIP treatment. Teacher Li Zhuang told the children many stories about the architecture and exhibits in the Forbidden City. The children were very interested. After the class, he also popularized some knowledge to us parents, which benefited us a lot.

Great Wall of China is indeed very magnificent. Had a good and tiring walk at Badaling. May come back again if I have the energy and vacation. Indeed awesome journey. Excellent.
The Badaling Cable Car entrance is right after getting off the high-speed train. From a distance, it looked deserted, but the line inside was incredibly long. The single-ride cable car ticket was very useful, allowing for barrier-free access. Traveling off-peak was a good option, so it took only 40 minutes to board the cable car, which took us directly to Tower 7. We climbed the steep slopes, then the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th. Perseverance is key. If you can climb the Great Wall, you can do anything.

It was a very pleasant group tour experience. I originally thought that a three-day trip would be very rushed if it was completed in one day. I was surprised by the professionalism and patience of Guide Su. Guide Su has a wealth of professional knowledge and explains very patiently. Not only is his explanation detailed but it is also very vivid. He gave me a good history lesson and gave me a deeper understanding of this period of history. I also sympathize with and thank the driver, Master Cheng, for his protection along the way. We had a pleasant end to this trip. Finally, thank you again for your dedication to everyone.
The palace is definitely worth a visit. However, it's quite crowded with tour groups. It took about two hours to tour the entire palace. I didn't queue for the Fu stele; if I had, I'd probably have waited another half hour.

The Temple of Heaven, located on Beijing's central axis, is a place of prayer, boasting the best-preserved and most exquisite architecture of the Temples of Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is a landmark of Beijing and even China. The park's vast expanse offers a breathtaking, quaint charm year-round, and its various buildings embody the pinnacle of ancient Chinese prayer. The park boasts verdant pines, cypresses, unusual rocks, and unique trees, while the magnificent illuminations of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests are a true classic. The park offers affordable admission, with discounts for students and seniors. Located in the heart of the city, the park is easily accessible by subway and public transportation.
The Temple of Heaven is a complex of imperial religious Confucian buildings situated in the southeastern part of central Beijing. The complex was visited by the Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for a good harvest.It's "a masterpiece of architecture and landscape design which simply and graphically illustrates a cosmogony of great importance for the evolution of one of the world's great civilizations..."It's a beautiful place.It's an excellent place for meditation as well.

Autumn Summer Palace, a century-old gui Zhengyi Fanghua. Go to the Paiyun Palace and Leshou Hall, finely chopped gold foils are covered with branches, sweet fragrance wrapped in autumn wind overflowing, mixed with water vapor in Kunming Lake, making people feel comfortable. Stop under the flowers, watch the light and shadows spill through the gap, listen to the light of the cruise ship rowing, the nose is cinnamon fragrance, the bottom of the eyes is the red wall yellow tile and the blue wave. No need to deliberately find the scenery, only this wisp of fragrance, let the autumn garden more gentle poetry.
Teacher Wu Ping was very knowledgeable and kept explaining throughout the tour. She was very considerate of the elderly and always took the tourists into consideration. She was very attentive. At the end, she even gave us a fun little gift - building blocks. I didn't feel too tired after following the whole tour, and I learned a lot. It was really eye-opening. A highly recommended tour guide.

best plan is to take cable car up to station 14 and walk towards station 4, take another gondola lift or luge down. Most are down slope from station 14 to station 4. I brought water and bread up, then realise few stations has small stall selling coffee, milk tea and food.
The place is fantastic and memorable where everyone should visit it at least once. It’s better to visit the place in early autumn which is not too cold and not too hot. Cable cars made it very easy to go uphill and enjoy the greatness of the wall without getting too tired

The Ulan Butong Scenic Area is truly worth a visit. The air is fresh, the autumn leaves are golden, the lake is azure, and the cattle, sheep, and horses are running freely. It is truly beautiful.
The second time we visited was during the off-season, when there were fewer people and the scenery was beautiful. The experience was strong, including horseback riding, archery, and eating lamb skewers. The scenery was so beautiful that every picture was a blockbuster. It felt like we were traveling back in time, far away from the city.

The scenic area is very large. We bought tickets for the sightseeing bus, cruise ship, and sightseeing battery car. It is cheaper to buy tickets from the official tour guide in the scenic area. The tour guide is also very enthusiastic. Even if you don't need her to explain, she will give you a brief introduction.
The tickets are so expensive, but it is quite necessary to find a tour guide to visit with you, otherwise it will take a lot of detours to find the way in such a large garden. The car driving up the mountain is quite bumpy, and sitting in the last row feels like riding a horse, and it is easy to get carsick due to the bumping.

It's definitely worth a visit. It's huge, packed with animals, and even has a children's playground, making it a perfect place for families!
However, be sure to choose the right time; weekends are incredibly crowded. The lines for the herbivore train and the car rides in the wild animal area can both take at least two hours, which might be too much for children...
Be prepared for the food; it's definitely expensive, but that's understandable for a place like this. Mineral water is 8 yuan a bottle, sausages are 12 yuan each, and freshly squeezed juice is 38 yuan (the little bottles with animal prints are what kids love). Set meals are usually over 50 yuan!
Overall, a family outing to the zoo was a pleasant and enjoyable drive-through. The only downside is that the animals in the free-range area aren't truly free-range, but rather seem to be caged. Otherwise, the environment was quite satisfactory and quite interesting. It's best to go early; if you go late, there will be too much traffic and it will be crowded.
