We had a good time at Universal Beijing. We visited during Christmas, and the festive atmosphere made the experience even nicer. The park is smaller than we expected, but still has plenty of fun attractions and great photo spots. Overall, it was an enjoyable visit.

"He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true man," goes the saying. It's a great patriotic education destination for families, especially during the crisp autumn season. Transportation is convenient, and facilities are comprehensive. For families with children, I recommend taking the cable car and then walking to the watchtower.

1. Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests Highlights: The iconic building of the Temple of Heaven, the site of imperial sacrifices during the Ming Dynasty. A three-story circular hall with blue tiles and a golden roof, its 28 golden pillars symbolize the four seasons, months, and hours. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests closes at 6 PM and can only be viewed from outside the palace walls. The red wall behind the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (vermilion door frame paired with a blue roof) Fun Fact: The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests has no horizontal beams; it is entirely supported by mortise and tenon joints, showcasing the wisdom of ancient architecture. 2. Echo Wall and Imperial Vault of Heaven Echo Wall: The wall has a regular curve and a smooth surface. Two people whispering against the wall could transmit their voices (now fenced off, conversations at ground markers still work). Three-Echo Stone: Speaking while standing on the stone slabs in front of the hall will produce 1-3 echoes, experiencing the wonder of acoustics. How to Play: Stand at opposite ends of the wall with a companion to test the sound transmission effect, or count the fan-shaped stone slabs on the altar surface (all are multiples of 9, subtly alluding to the "supreme ruler"). 3. Circular Mound Altar Highlight: The core site of the emperor's sacrificial ceremony to Heaven. The central stone, where a shout is made, produces an extremely loud echo (anciently known as the "Sound Connecting Heaven"). Hidden Activity: At noon on the winter solstice, the sunlight precisely penetrates all the railings, showcasing ancient astronomical wisdom. 4. Danbi Bridge Highlight: The "Sea-Paved Avenue" connecting the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and the Circular Mound Altar, 360 meters long and 30 meters wide, symbolizing "heaven is high and earth is low." 5. Fasting Palace and Divine Music Bureau Fasting Palace: The "mini Forbidden City" where the emperor resided before sacrificial rites. With red walls and green pines and cypresses, it is free to enter and offers beautiful scenery with few crowds. Divine Music Bureau: The ancient venue for rehearsing sacrificial music, offering insights into ancient musical culture.

Chaoyang Park in Beijing is located on the North Fourth Ring Road in East China. It's a large park built on a puddle of land. Chaoyang Park is quite extensive and features a large lake. Chaoyang Park frequently hosts various events, and the surrounding area boasts comprehensive facilities. To the west of the park is the Blue Harbor commercial street, which is very lively in the evenings. This park is especially suitable for families with children; many parents bring their kids to Chaoyang Park to relax on weekends.

Staying in Phase II of the water town made getting in and out very convenient. The night view was great for photos. We saw the water dance show and the drone show, and rode the mountain toboggan twice with the kids. I heard that you can book free tickets to the water town online in December.

Shichahai Scenic Area in Beijing comprises the waterways north of Beihai Park. Exiting Beihai Park from its north gate, you'll find Shichahai directly opposite. This area was originally a place for Beijing residents to exercise. In summer, it served as an open-air swimming pool, and in winter, an open-air ice skating rink. The adjacent Shichahai Sports School nurtured many outstanding athletes. Now, Shichahai is primarily a leisure and entertainment area, with numerous restaurants and bars. Yandaixie Street, in particular, is a popular spot for taking photos and making social media posts.

Nanluoguxiang is alive. A winding river of people flows through the gray-tiled roofs and blue bricks. As soon as I entered, I was enveloped by the aroma of roasted chestnuts. Narrow strips of sky were carved from the eaves on either side, their upturned corners hooking at wisps of drifting clouds. The crowd propelled me forward, a girl beside me holding a candied hawthorn skewer, its glistening sugar shell as thin and brittle as a cicada's wing in the sunlight. The steam from the fried noodles wafted from the time-honored shops, mingling with the rich aroma of coffee in the air. Inside the windows of the creative shops, the rabbit figurines wore brand-new colorful clothes, yet their eyes still held the old-fashioned look. Turning into a side alley, the noise instantly receded into the background. Under the shade of a locust tree, an old man slowly walked, carrying a birdcage, the clear chirping of a thrush dripping onto the stone pavement. At that moment, modernity and antiquity ceased to clash; they simply sat side by side, like two old friends playing chess.

Juyongguan Great Wall isn't as famous as Badaling, and there's no cable car there. We arrived at 1 PM and started with the eastern route, which was quite easy; we only encountered about ten tourists along the way. The western route is steeper. It was cold in Beijing that day, and the wind reached level 7, so we turned back after reaching watchtower number 9. There are still watchtowers 10-14 to come. The whole route takes about 3 hours. In good weather, climbing the entire loop shouldn't be a problem. That day, there were dozens of foreigners on the western route. Apparently, due to the strong winds, the Badaling cable car was closed, and tour groups were bringing people to Juyongguan; otherwise, there would have been even fewer tourists. In short, it wasn't crowded, and the experience was good. Those who enjoy hiking the Great Wall on their own can try Juyongguan, although the scenery isn't as beautiful as Badaling.

A nice place to stroll or shop with friends or family. Many collections of food there. And many souvenir shops. Easy to reach by metro. (We tried to go there by taxi from Gugong and got rejected by taxi driver, we ended up going there by subway).
