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.

Time always goes slower within the four red walls than elsewhere. How many people can finish the Forbidden City in a morning and never leave it in their lifetime? The Forbidden City is red, the Forbidden City is red, every brick and tile and every pot of wine. Two dynasties and three generations are as vast as smoke. Who can ask about the past of the Forbidden City? The red face is safe and sound. The red gates and golden palaces are dazzling, but there will be an end to the endless twists and turns. The scholar said that the tour guide Su Su of the team arranged the route reasonably, explained in detail and was very professional. The Palace Museum was formerly known as the Forbidden City. Every brick and tile of the Forbidden City has witnessed the vicissitudes of the Forbidden City for 600 years.
You must follow the guide to visit the Forbidden City. You can understand the stories of the main attractions. You can't visit them all by yourself. Every time you visit, you will gain something different. This time, I followed the guide Liu Xiucai to visit the Forbidden City. It was worth the trip.

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.
When you arrive in Beijing, you must climb the Great Wall. Since I am an elderly person, I climbed the Southern Great Wall directly. The Southern Great Wall is not difficult to climb. You can climb up directly and take the auxiliary road next to it when you come down.

Booking tickets on Ctrip was quick and easy, and scanning the QR code to enter the palace saved time and effort. Prince Gong's Mansion truly represents "half of the history of the Qing Dynasty," with exquisite architecture and elegant gardens. I touched the "Fu" stele for good luck and fortune, and it was a worthwhile trip. Highly recommended!
It's just so-so. It's just so-so. It's just so-so. It's just so-so. It's just so-so. It's just so-so. It's just so-so.

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.

The Hanging Temple resembles a celestial palace, nestled between sheer cliffs. Every wooden plank speaks of millennia of craftsmanship. Standing on the plank road overlooking the abyss is both thrilling and awe-inspiring, and the wisdom and courage of the ancients are truly awe-inspiring. The majestic Buddha statues and the distant toll of the bells within the temple create a dialogue with history, a journey through time and space. It's absolutely worth a visit!
1. The Hanging Temple of Hengshan Mountain. The entire temple clings to the cliffs of Hengshan Mountain, supported by only a single pillar. It's incredibly precarious, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment, a truly daunting sight.
2. The Hanging Temple at the foot of Hengshan Mountain is a breathtakingly ingenious structure. This massive temple seems to soar into the air, leaving you in awe of the ingenuity of the craftsmen thousands of years ago.
3. I wonder how the builders of the Hanging Temple managed to transport the stones and wood up the mountain.
4. The Hanging Temple of Hengshan Mountain, the Northern Peak, is truly a rare sight.

The customer service responded quickly and the attitude was very good. The price-performance ratio was high. The driver had a good service attitude, the vehicle was clean and tidy, and there was no smoke. Master Wu arrived at the hotel early in the morning to wait for us. He introduced the scenery and food of Beijing along the way. Five-star praise (＾ω＾)👍🏻
Best scenic views. Good walk. Clean. Noone smoking. Definite choice for seeing great wall.

It is worth visiting. It is the emperor's palace, with many cultural relics and the place where historical events took place. It is full of sense of substitution. There is also the Misty Rain Tower where "My Fair Princess" was filmed, the Summer Resort Museum, etc.
As a World Cultural Heritage, the Mountain Resort is worth a visit. The ticket price is a bit expensive, but there are preferential policies for special groups such as the elderly. I booked the ticket on Ctrip. Other scenic spots do not have paper commemorative tickets to keep, but here there are special commemorative tickets that can be collected, which is quite good. You can spend most of the day strolling around slowly.

It was great. The best Park with animals where we've ever been. Animals are well treated, watching nutrition and health. Recommend visiting.
We booked this tour after seeing good reviews about the park.After visiting I can say this Wildlife Park is a must for tourists coming to Beijing.It is a bit too far from the city(50km).It is must better than the Beijing Zoo in the city(a bit run down)The park is new and clean.There is alot of interactive with the animals like feeding the Bear,Tigers and wolfs.I spent 5 hours there.I recommend this place 100%.👍❤️
