    It's definitely worth a visit. It's quite large, and the inverted Guanyin statue and prayer wheel are very unique. There are many stamps to collect, and the stamps are quite nice. There are several cultural and creative shops, and hot water is available. The surrounding area has good food options, and you can also stroll around the ancient town. At night, try the Zhengding night market. Recommended.

    If you can't make a reservation at the National Museum of Natural History, you can buy a special exhibition ticket to enter without a reservation. The exhibition hall is very large, and it takes about 5-6 hours to see everything. Kids love it and can learn a lot of knowledge with them!

    Qianmen Street is an important road in the southern section of the central axis of Dongcheng District, Beijing. It stretches 1,400 meters from Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower in the north to Yong'an Road in the south, and is 20 meters wide. The street was first built in the first year of the Zhengtong reign of the Ming Dynasty (1436) and was initially called "Guanjie". During the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, it was paved with stone slabs. It was officially named in 1965 and reopened after renovation in 2008. In March 2022, it was included in the "List of Traditional Place Names for Protection in the Core Functional Area of ​​the Capital (Streets, Alleys and Hutongs, First Batch)".

    The zoo has some beautiful and interesting animals, including rare species that I had never seen before. Overall, it is a good place to visit and gives you the chance to see animals you might not find elsewhere.However, during my visit, some animals such as the giraffes and the bears were not available, and I’m not sure why. There were also many empty enclosures, which I believe were due to ongoing renovations. The construction and maintenance work was noticeable and may have been slightly disturbing for both visitors and the animals.The aquarium section did not feel very well maintained, and in general, the zoo seems a bit old. That said, it still serves its purpose well. One of the main highlights is the panda — pandas are very special and mainly found in China, so seeing them makes the visit worthwhile.Overall, the zoo is suitable for solo visitors, families, and children. It’s a decent experience and worth a visit, especially if you want to see pandas.

    This was truly a fantastic tour; Mr. Xing is the best tour guide I've ever met. Mr. Xing's explanations were impeccable. He was both professional and accessible, lively and engaging, combining official historical accounts with his own unique insights. His fluent explanations demonstrated his genuine familiarity with history, making his explanations very easy to understand—even for a science student like myself. His style was relaxed and cheerful; Mr. Xing vividly imitated Empress Dowager Cixi and eunuchs, his charming gestures and humorous tones spot-on. He delivered many memorable lines, such as, "If you possessed it, you wouldn't be a beast of burden anymore, you'd be in jail!" He even patiently answered a child's casual question, "How did the emperor go to the toilet?" Mr. Xing was not only very approachable but also very attentive. He paid attention to everyone's toilet needs, stopped to wait for everyone at the souvenir shop when it was about to close, and there was absolutely no forced shopping. Mr. Xing planned the itinerary very well, so there was no need to worry about falling behind; he even waited for those who hadn't arrived at each attraction. Teacher Xing wanted to share as much as possible with everyone, so the entire tour was tightly packed with valuable information, without any unnecessary digressions, but he didn't miss any of the must-see photo spots. It's easy to see that Teacher Xing has a deep understanding of the Forbidden City. The whole tour felt like a friendly conversation, not just a forced lecture. He must also be very passionate about his profession, as his presentation was incredibly engaging. Furthermore, Teacher Xing is a fantastic photographer. Every shot he takes is a masterpiece. He even guided us on what poses to take at different photo spots—"a smile over his shoulder," "a captivating glance"—he personally demonstrated each pose. If you want to create stunning photos, look no further than him! Teacher Xing is incredibly kind. After the tour, worried we might get lost, he offered to guide us along the way. He also helped take photos, chatted with us, and did extra things for us. He's very easygoing and kind. In short, it was a worthwhile trip. Choose Teacher Xing as your tour guide!

    Wangfujing Department Store, the prices are just for reference! You need to check in at the pedestrian street, just take the subway line 1 and get off at Wangfujing Station. If you can take the subway in Beijing, try to take the subway to save money and avoid traffic jams.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Best Panoramic View of the Forbidden CityJingshan Park was a wonderful and refreshing place to visit in Beijing. The highlight is definitely the view from the top of the hill, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Forbidden City and the city skyline beyond — one of the best viewpoints in Beijing.The park itself is peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained, making it a great place to take a relaxing walk. The gardens, pavilions, and tree-lined paths are lovely, and it was nice to see locals enjoying the space, singing, exercising, and relaxing.This is an excellent spot for photos, especially on a clear day or near sunset. Highly recommended as a perfect complement to a visit to the Forbidden City.
