Guide Guo of the Imperial City Story is very good. This trip to the Forbidden City not only allowed me and my children to appreciate the magnificence of the Forbidden City, but also made me feel the attentive service of the tour guide. She used her professional knowledge and enthusiasm to create an unforgettable travel experience for us.
The Palace Museum is a brilliant treasure of Chinese civilization. Walking through it, it feels like traveling through thousands of years. This is the world's largest existing wooden ancient building complex, with towering palaces and surrounded by palace walls. Every detail shows the majesty and ingenuity of the royal family of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The golden throne of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the plaque of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and the pavilions and towers in the Imperial Garden all tell the vicissitudes and glory of history.
The millions of cultural relics in the museum are even more amazing. The collections of calligraphy and painting, ceramics, jade and other collections span thousands of years, showing the breadth and depth of Chinese culture. Whether it is the magnificent artistic conception of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" or the gorgeous colors of Tang Sancai, people stop for a long time.
The professional explanation of the tour guide adds a lot of color to the tour, helping tourists to deeply understand the historical stories behind it. The park has clear guidance, complete service facilities, and unique cultural and creative products. Strolling between the red walls and yellow tiles, the sun shines on the glazed tiles, and the corner tower in the evening is even more beautiful. The Forbidden City is not only a museum, but also a three-dimensional history book that is worthy of everyone's careful reading.

I went on May 1st, and I went on a single holiday. The experience was full and I hardly used to queue up. Birthday month, the service is superb, and the emotional value is worth the fare. The first batch of people entering the park in the morning, the Harry Potter area was taken casually, and the film was quacked.
It is recommended that tickets + Usu pass single item, or tickets + Usu pass 3 items, money Liu Yousu pass 14 items. Harry Potter was queued for 90 minutes, and the little yellow people were queued for 110 minutes, and half of the day was used to queue. That egg sausage is not delicious for 43 yuan. Ice drink ice cream is delicious to buy. The Usu pass sold out that day, only hard row. Be sure to buy Usu pass next time. A few steps down the subway is the global gate. The gate is first the security check. After entering, you will see the big earth. After the earth has passed, it is the ticket security check. At this time, you will get your ID card and the ticket security check will be queued for a long time.

The Badaling Great Wall is worthy of being an outstanding representative of the Great Wall of thousands of miles, which is deeply shocking. It is like a dragon trayed between the mountains and mountains, rolling and magnificent, and there is no end at a glance, and it shows a majestic trend. The walls are strong and thick, and the enemy buildings and campfires are standing, as if telling the ancient Jinge iron horse and glorious history. When you climb the Great Wall, touch the ancient masonry, as if you can touch the pulse of history, feel the wisdom and tenacity of the ancients. The surrounding natural scenery is also beautiful, the green mountains and green waters complement each other, forming a magnificent landscape map. The scenic area has complete facilities, the cable car provides convenience for people with poor physical strength, and there are rich cultural and creative products to choose from. Whether it is the ambition of "not a good man" of the Great Wall, or the exploration of history and culture, Badaling Great Wall can make you satisfied, is a tourist attraction that should not be missed in your life.
The guide was a great person who took all the time for me to explain things, and made sure I didn't stay behind. Kudos forvsuchva great job!

Yungang Grottoes are the earliest royal grottoes in China. The entire scenic area is very large. You can walk from the parking lot, take a shuttle bus, or take a boat. It takes about ten minutes to walk while strolling. From the first cave to the twentieth cave, you can stroll slowly and listen to the explanations. Marvel at the wisdom and aesthetics of our ancestors.
This stay was beyond my expectation! The hotel is very conveniently located, with many places to eat and shop nearby. It was very lively at night.
The room was very clean, the bedding was very comfortable, and I fell asleep soon after lying on it. The soundproofing was also good, and I didn't hear any noise from outside. The bathroom had plenty of hot water and the water pressure was just right. Taking a hot bath was very refreshing.

The Summer Palace is like a bright pearl shining in the northwest suburbs of Beijing. It is an outstanding example of the Chinese royal garden. It combines the traditional gardening art and combines the artificial landscape with the natural landscape, showing the exquisiteness of "although made by people, it is open from the sky". Walking among them, the magnificent Foxiang Pavilion stands on the foot of Wanshou Mountain, overlooking the blue waves of Kunming Lake; the promenade is like a colorful dragon, and the color paintings on the beam tell the story of the millennium. The 17-hole bridge lies across the lake, and the bridge hole and reflection are interesting and beautiful. The pavilions and pavilions in the park, winding paths, all show the majesty and luxury of the royal family.

The Mutianyu Great Wall in Huairou, Beijing is worth a visit. It is a very good experience and takes at least five or six hours to walk around. It may be difficult for the elderly and children to climb. The autumn scenery is excellent. It is recommended to visit here in autumn.
We chartered a car to go early in the morning. There were not many people. We took our two kids leisurely and the tour lasted about 4 hours (including 50 minutes in line to ride the slide). It is worth taking the kids to ride the slide. The kids were very impressed.

Yingxian Muta at a glance for a thousand years, the earliest introduction from bilinili. The real stand in front of the Muta was even more shocking. He waited for us for a thousand years here. Finally, before getting on the bus, you can go to Jingtu Temple, there are exquisite algae wells.
Really magical landscape, the first wonder in the world, really well-deserved! For the first time, I saw the ancient high tower without restoration, and there was a big Buddha statue in the tower! There is also a temple next to the tower, although not big, there are quite a lot of Buddha statues.

The 235 yuan package for one person is still a bit expensive. There is no discount for the elderly and children. The scenery is OK, and there are a lot of paid projects in the park. If you just want to see the grassland, you can just go to the grassland. If you want to experience more projects, you can come here to experience them together.
I bought a full package ticket for 295 yuan, which is not cheap. It includes all small transportation to save legs, but does not include various recreational facilities in the scenic area.
The recommended route is to enter from the north gate, walk down the mountain trail to visit the geological park, and then take a horse carriage, electric car, cable car, or small train to go out. If you enter from the south gate, you will take the small train first, then walk down the mountain on the wooden plank road, and then go out by electric car, horse carriage, or cable car. The scenery of the walking part is very good. If you only take small transportation, the sightseeing experience is not high, anyway, the cable car is mainly uphill
