That was my dream to come to Universal Studios park! From the very beginning you feel the atmosphere of fairy-tale and can’t imagine how big is it! The crowds are not that big if you come in a usual season (not holidays or vacation time). But still if you want to avoid lines you can buy express. Express for 5 is good, I really recommend!
This amusement facility gave me a very pleasant experience. The facility is cleverly designed, safe and reliable, which made me feel very at ease during the play. It is easy to operate and is fun for both children and adults.

The guide was very informative, also this is not a walking wall , it is a climbing wall.
Convenient. Just present your passport or ID document, you will get your ticket. The audio is in the trip app. It's very useful. But it takes time to loading the audio. Excellent view of the Great Wall. It is recommended to use cable car if you find hiking challenging. Some part of the slope is extremely steep.

During the 2-day and 1-night trip, the driver, Master Zhang, was very nice. He played music when asked and stopped to take pictures when asked. He was very easygoing. I was very lucky to meet him during the Everest trip. Goodbye, Jianghu.
Mount Tai is a place for those who are stubborn. It is more tiring than climbing Mount Huangshan. The legs are sore on the steps that I doubt my life. It is best to wear knee pads or patellar braces so that the knees can be more stressed. I was lucky to see the sea of clouds and the sunrise. It was really beautiful.

I learned about the Jin Temple in school, but only today did I get the chance to visit it. Located at the foot of Tianlong Mountain, over 50 li from the city center, the Jin Temple was built to commemorate the mother of Tang Shuyu, the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty. The Song Dynasty main hall, offering hall, and flying bridges of the Fish Pond are well-preserved, and the Nanlao Spring flows gently. Ancient trees tower above, and the landscape is beautifully arranged. It's well worth a thorough visit.
The Jin Temple is not a single ancestral hall, but a vast complex of classical garden-style temples and shrines, integrating ancient sacrificial architecture, gardens, sculptures, inscriptions, and ancient and valuable trees. Its history dates back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, but its most precious remains date back to the Northern Song Dynasty. The Jin Temple holds a profoundly important position in the history of Chinese architecture and art.

The following is a review of Yanmen Pass:
Only when you arrive at Yanmen Pass can you truly appreciate the grandeur and profound significance of the saying, "Yanmen is the foremost of the nine great passes under heaven."
The natural scenery of Yanmen Pass is breathtaking. Nestled amidst towering mountains, it is surrounded by a crisscrossing landscape. Climbing the tower, you'll be greeted by the breathtaking views of the mountains within and the vast desert beyond, a sense of desolation washes over you. Especially at sunset, when the glow of the setting sun reflects on the ancient Great Wall, the sense of historical vicissitudes makes you feel like you've traveled through time.
The historical and cultural heritage of this area is unparalleled. As a crucial pass on the Great Wall, Yanmen Pass has witnessed countless historical events. It served as the dividing point between the Central Plains and the outer Great Wall, a frontier where agricultural and nomadic civilizations collided, and a corridor for ethnic integration. From Li Mu's resistance against the Hu people during the Warring States Period to the Yang family's defense against the Liao, countless heroes fought and valiantly fought here, leaving behind many inspiring stories. The natural barrier gate, the geographical advantage gate, and the urn city structure within the fortress demonstrate the remarkable military defense wisdom of ancient times. The deep wheel ruts along the ancient pass road bear witness to the bustling trade and travel of the past.
The scenic area boasts comprehensive supporting facilities. While dining options are limited within the area, nearby farmhouses offer specialties such as Daixian yellow rice cakes and oat noodle kuoluoluo. For accommodations, a wide variety of hotels are available in Daixian County.
On a minor note, some of the buildings within the scenic area are later reconstructions. While highly restored, they lack the original historical feel. Furthermore, the ticket price is relatively high, at 100 yuan per person during peak season, which may not be cost-effective for some visitors.
Overall, Yanmen Pass is a well-worthwhile visit. It not only offers stunning natural scenery but also allows you to experience the vicissitudes of the Chinese nation through the course of history. It is a must-see destination for those enthusiasts of humanities and history.
It holds profound significance, so as a Chinese, you should definitely visit.
Yanmen Pass, formerly known as Gouzhu Mountain, boasts towering peaks and rugged terrain. It's a crucial pass on the Great Wall, known as "China's First Pass." There's a saying that "of the nine fortresses under heaven, Yanmen is the foremost."
Standing atop the Yanmen Pass tower, gazing out into the distance, you can admire the rolling hills, the winding Great Wall, the narrow pass, and the breathtaking scenery of the frontier.
Walking along the ancient Great Wall, viewing the military defense relics and sites, countless histories and legends resonate in your mind, leaving you filled with emotion.
For thousands of years, Yanmen Pass has witnessed countless battles and wars. From the early Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Turks to the later Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongols, northern ethnic groups all battled against the Han dynasties at Yanmen Pass.
Yanmen Pass forged the valiant and loyal spirits of many frontier defenders, including King Mu of Zhou, Li Mu, Meng Tian, Liu Bang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui, Xue Rengui, and the Yang Family Generals.
During the reign of Emperor Yuan of Han, when Wang Zhaojun crossed the border through Yanmen Pass's natural barrier and married the Xiongnu, Yanmen Pass became a thoroughfare for friendly exchanges within and beyond the borders.
Arriving at Yanmen Pass's natural barrier and standing at the very gate where Wang Zhaojun left the border, one is struck by the depth of history and the magnificent beauty of nature, creating a unique sense of wonder.

The annual safari park was packed with people even after getting up early. The kids loved the bear-riding car in the wild animal area. The red pandas were really cute. A new restaurant has been built with a much richer menu. The hippopotamus has grown up a bit; it was still a baby last year. I'll come back next spring to see it.
It was great. The best Park with animals where we've ever been. Animals are well treated, watching nutrition and health. Recommend visiting.

Definitely a place for families and teens who love labubus. I thought I wouldnt enjoy it but I really loved inside the castle walk through it was gorgeous.
Pop Mart City Park, located in Beijing's Chaoyang Park, is China's first immersive theme park featuring trendy toys and IPs. It has attracted numerous fans, especially young people and families with children. Inside, visitors can take photos with their favorite IPs (such as Molly, Labubu, and Dimoo), purchase exclusive park merchandise, and participate in stamp collection activities, adding to the fun. The IP-themed food and beverages, such as Labubu-shaped waffles and Molly cupcakes, are adorable and perfect for photo ops.

The aircraft carrier is very spectacular and suitable for visiting. There are many comprehensive and detailed popular sciences, suitable for people of all ages to visit. It is an unforgettable experience and I will recommend it to my friends. It is suitable for military enthusiasts and people with a sense of gratitude. I hope to be able to board more aircraft carriers in the future. In addition to the aircraft carrier, there are also various wonderful performances and interactive projects. I look forward to seeing the fireworks in the future.
The TEDA aircraft carrier was a great experience. First, we visited the TEDA aircraft carrier. It was my first time inside an aircraft carrier. The design inside was particularly shocking. The shipboard was so large. It was my first time seeing such a large aircraft carrier. The doll experience was also very good. We also went to watch the car race. The players had first-class skills. The experience was very good and amazing. In the afternoon, we went to see the aviation storm. The performance was very realistic and worth coming back next time.

The entrance fee is 50 yuan, and the shuttle bus inside costs 10 yuan for a 10-minute circuit, which isn't too expensive. The plant life is abundant, the air is fresh, and the scenery is well-designed and interesting. Each venue is unique and well-thought-out. The popular elevator lights up at 6:40 am, which is very romantic and beautiful. It's worth a visit and a good time.
As a new landmark in Taiyuan, Taiyuan Botanical Garden boasts a core competitive advantage of "world-class architecture and immersive science education." It caters to both photo opportunities and in-depth nature education experiences, making it suitable for visitors of all ages. Highlights include the three greenhouses (the Tropical Rainforest, the Psammophyte, and the Four Seasons Flower), the Insectarium, the Science Museum, and the nighttime light show. The garden's ecological value, cultural innovation, and high-quality service are truly a must-see, making it a benchmark for the integration of culture and tourism in Taiyuan.
