During this tour of the Forbidden City, Mr. Xu from the Imperial City Story took us into the red-walled and yellow-tiled imperial palace and learned about the historical stories of the royal family. It was fun^_^.
I participated in the Imperial City Story lecture group. Tour guide Xu gave a very detailed lecture and arranged the route in place. It was fun^_^.
The trip to the Forbidden City was great. The tour guide Jin Lianghong informed us of the precautions the day before the trip and provided detailed transportation tips. The explanations were lively and interesting, with interactive sessions throughout.

Universal Studios is super fun, especially the exciting Decepticons and the long-awaited Harry Potter.
The photos are very good, I will go there again next time.
It was not peak time when I went there, so the flow of people and the waiting time were acceptable.
The room is very cozy, the living environment is good, there are many delicious restaurants downstairs, and there is a free Universal Studios shuttle bus. The overall feeling is very good and convenient. Yuanbao, the housekeeper of the homestay, is very attentive, provides guidance throughout the whole process, and has a super good service attitude.

A few days after the Chinese New Year, there were so many people every day. The weather was pretty good, there was no blizzard, but there was still a little snow on the Great Wall. There were so many people that you had to queue up for the cable car and could only climb up, but you could still feel the majesty and vastness of the Great Wall!
The Badaling Great Wall is worthy of being an outstanding representative of the Great Wall, which is deeply shocking. It is like a giant dragon entrenched between the mountains, stretching and undulating, majestic, and endless, showing a magnificent momentum. The wall is solid and thick, with enemy towers and beacon towers standing in rows, as if telling the ancient wars and glorious history. When you climb the Great Wall and touch the ancient bricks and stones, you seem to be able to touch the pulse of history and feel the wisdom and tenacity of the ancients. The surrounding natural scenery is also as beautiful as a picture scroll, and the green mountains and green waters complement the Great Wall, forming a magnificent landscape painting. The scenic area has complete facilities, and the cable car provides convenience for those with poor physical strength, and there are also a wealth of cultural and creative products to choose from. Whether it is the ambition and passion of "not being a hero without visiting the Great Wall" or the exploration of history and culture, the Badaling Great Wall can satisfy you and is a tourist destination that you should not miss in your lifetime.

The Prince Gong Mansion in Beijing is located in Shichahai. It was once the residence of Heshen. As it is well preserved, it is now the most worthwhile scenic spot among the former palaces in Beijing.
Prince Gong Mansion has many visitors and is located in a deep courtyard in the alley, so tickets are tight. If you want to visit Beijing, you must make an appointment in advance. In the peak season, you must make an appointment a week in advance to be sure.
The scenic spot is in the center of Beijing. Although the transportation is convenient, there will be traffic jams, so you must reserve time when you come to Prince Gong Mansion. It takes more than two hours to visit it.
Prince Gong's Mansion is a shining pearl in the capital, which makes people linger. As the largest existing prince's mansion in the Qing Dynasty, it has a regular architectural layout, and the "three roads and five verticals" fully demonstrate the royal style and majesty. The green glazed tiles of the Yin'an Hall, Jiale Hall and other buildings in the mansion are shining, highlighting the noble status of the prince. The Western Gate, the Grand Theater and the Back Building in the garden are known as the "three wonders", with exquisite shapes and unique characteristics. Not only that, Prince Gong's Mansion also has a "Fu" character stele with "the first blessing in the world", which carries a beautiful meaning. Every brick, tile, grass and tree here seems to be telling the story of history, and the reputation of "One Prince Gong's Mansion, half of the history of the Qing Dynasty" is well-deserved. Walking through it, you can not only feel the exquisiteness of ancient architectural art, but also appreciate the profound historical and cultural heritage. Whether it is for history and culture enthusiasts or ordinary tourists, it is a rare and excellent place.

Mr. Liu, the top scholar in Beijing! The explanation is awesome!
Very good!
The weather is hot, bring plenty of water!
It is worth listening to Mr. Liu, the top scholar in Beijing, explain the Temple of Heaven! He cleverly combines historical stories with architectural features. His explanations are vivid and humorous, and easy to understand. The whole process is full of dry goods and the experience is full. I sincerely recommend it!
The Temple of Heaven Park is undoubtedly a shining pearl in Beijing and an outstanding representative of ancient Chinese architectural art and culture. Stepping into it, it seems to travel through time and space and be in the sacred scene of the Ming and Qing royal family offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for good harvests. The magnificent Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, with its blue tiles and golden roof, shines brightly under the sun. Its exquisite architectural structure and exquisite paintings are amazing. The magical echo wall, with its unique acoustic principle, allows whispers to be clearly transmitted across space, like the echo of history. There is also the white Circular Mound Altar, every detail of which contains the ancient people's awe and respect for "heaven". The ancient cypresses in the park are lush and green, adding a sense of tranquility and solemnity to the entire park. Here, you can not only appreciate the unparalleled beauty of ancient buildings, but also deeply feel the profoundness of Chinese traditional culture. It is an excellent place for people to be baptized in the soul and improve their historical and cultural literacy, and it is worthy of the reputation of a world cultural heritage.

Kuru Pavilion is located on the east embankment south of the newly built palace gate of the Summer Palace. It is commonly known as Bafang Pavilion. It was built in Qianlong in 1752 and was rebuilt in Guangxu. It is set against each other in space with the 17-hole bridge and Nanhu Island. The porch is huge, covering an area of more than 130 square meters, with octagonal heavy spires, three floors in the pavilion are supported by 40 columns, there are upside down dumplings, stool dumplings between the pavilion, and low walls around the outside. The pavilion hangs eight blessings of poetry, two of which are the emperor Qianlong in Qianlong 35 and 36 years respectively.
As a royal garden, the Summer Palace has too many places worth seeing. Entering the Summer Palace from the east gate, you will see the Renshou Hall. The dragon, phoenix and unicorn at the entrance of the hall are still guarding there. There is also a longevity stone in front of the Renshou Hall, which is also a witness of history. There is also a vintage car in the Renshou Hall. This Mercedes-Benz car was a gift from the Americans to Cixi on her birthday, but Cixi only sat in it once. Behind the Renshou Hall is the Yulan Hall, which was named by Qianlong and was his study. After reconstruction, it became the bedroom of Emperor Guangxu. After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, Cixi was placed under house arrest here. Guangxu was restricted from freedom for ten years. In 1908, the 38-year-old Emperor Guangxu died of a sudden illness. Behind the Yulan Hall is the Yiyun Hall, which is a place for storing books. It was later burned down by the British and French forces. It was rebuilt during the Guangxu period and was the residence of Empress Longyu of Emperor Guangxu. After the Yiyun Hall is the Leshou Hall, which is the residence of Cixi. The interior is very luxurious. After the Leshou Hall is the famous Long Corridor. The long corridor is 700 meters long and has 273 rooms. Walking through the corridor, you will reach the foot of Longevity Hill. You can climb up to the Tower of Buddhist Incense to overlook Kunming Lake, or take a boat tour of Kunming Lake, wander through the Summer Palace in the mountains and rivers, and enjoy the historical and cultural features here.

Mutianyu Great Wall is the only Great Wall I often visit when I live in Beijing. In spring, the mountains are covered with peach and apricot blossoms, which look particularly beautiful. It is not tiring to walk up to the beacon tower below.
Compared with the Badaling Great Wall, there are much fewer people. It is known as the unique beauty of the Great Wall of Mutianyu, and the scenery is indeed very beautiful. If you want to challenge yourself to be a hero, there is a hero slope and hero platform here. You have to climb a nearly 70-degree staircase. I highly recommend trying it. Although your legs will hurt for a long time, as the saying goes, you are here!

Wulanbutong has successfully transformed into a tourist destination with both natural wildness and cultural depth through the model of "ecological restoration + cultural tourism integration". Its distinct landscape changes in four seasons, rich interactive experiences and the stories behind sand control make it far more than ordinary grassland sightseeing and a vivid example of China's ecological civilization construction. For modern travelers who pursue "poetic living", this place can not only heal the body and mind, but also trigger thinking about the relationship between man and nature.
It is very close to the scenic area. The room is large and spacious, clean and sanitary. It is a hotel with a high comprehensive cost-effectiveness in Wulanbutong. I stayed there for three consecutive nights. There is a horse farm behind it, and the scenery is beautiful. There is a bonfire party and fireworks show in the evening. The atmosphere is very good and the children have a lot of fun. The proprietress also enthusiastically introduced the tour route. Overall, I recommend staying here.

It is very convenient to buy tickets on Ctrip. You don't need to exchange tickets, just scan the code to enter. The scenic area is very large, the scenery is beautiful, and it feels like Jiangnan. It took a boat and a sightseeing bus to visit two-thirds of the scenic area. From the moment you enter the door, the tour guide will take the initiative to ask if you need an explanation service. It costs 100 yuan for five people, and you can also rent an electronic guide for 31 yuan. A must-see attraction when visiting Chengde.

There are so many people. The experience of this wildlife park in Beijing is really not good. You have to queue for several hours for the small train. Just give up. Otherwise, it won’t take long to take a walk.
I went to Beijing Wildlife Park on the weekend. It is very suitable for bringing children to play. There are more than 5,000 animals in 3,600 acres of land. Although you are allowed to bring your own vegetables, the actual feeding is supervised by the keepers, so it is recommended to travel light. Remember three points: 1. The park opens at 8:30, and you don’t have to queue up in the wild animal area if you arrive before 8:50; 2. Adult tickets are 145 yuan, don’t spend 200 yuan to drive yourself, it’s better to take the free train; 3. You must visit the wild animal area (buy a 50-yuan meat bun to feed the bear, it’s super worth it), the train (sit before 3 pm, the left seat has a great view), and the walking area to feed capybaras (bring your own carrots).
