My kids absolutely adore the zoo far more than Mandai. The themed playgrounds kept them entertained for hours, and the range of food options was impressive. With the wildlife park now rejuvenated and complemented by a resort soon, the experience feels complete. Bingo! We’ll miss this place and will surely return in two years’ time.

It served as Zhang Xueliang's "temporary palace" in Tianjin. While it might not have been as grand as the residences of some of Tianjin's powerful figures during the Republic of China era, it was fully equipped and an important place for the young marshal to rest and receive guests.

I'd call it the Tianjin branch of Jingdezhen. Personally, I recommend it if it's your first time visiting; it's quite unique. Status: The world's only "porcelain building," a miracle of architectural history. 📍Address: No. 72 Chifeng Road, Heping District, Tianjin (near Heping Road Station, Metro Line 3) 🕐Opening Hours: 9:00-18:00 (last entry at 17:30) 💰Tickets: ·Adult Ticket: 50 RMB ·Child Ticket: Free for children under 1.2 meters, half price for children between 1.2 and 1.4 meters ·No reservation required! Purchase tickets online and enter by scanning the QR code. If you don't want to go inside, you can take a panoramic photo of the Porcelain House from across the street, but it gets quite crowded. Inside, some angles give it a Thai feel; it's quite beautiful! Overall, highly recommended! You can also visit the surrounding area along Binjiang Road Pedestrian Street.

Standing on the Tianjin Eye Ferris wheel, as the cabin slowly rises, the dazzling night view of the entire city gradually unfolds. The Haihe River meanders like a ribbon, with lights and shimmering water reflecting each other, creating a breathtakingly romantic scene. It is a must-visit landmark in Tianjin!

Spent a whole day getting lost in 只有红楼梦 and there is still so much more to be uncovered. I only managed to watch 6 out of 21 performances (back to back shows are impossible as the place is HUGE), but there are some really good ones like 《四合院》 which explores the tension between old Beijing residents and newcomers from other cities (likened to 刘姥姥进大观园), and 《二商店》 which is set in the 1970s featuring an endearing character very much like 贾宝玉. The design of the entire complex is a work of art and I have not been to anywhere that is more immersive than this. Beyond being a feast to the eyes, I love how elements of 《红楼梦》 are thoughtfully and creatively reinterpreted in each space, blurring reality and illusion. It truly felt like a dream.

Longxing Temple was originally named Longzang Temple, and its name was changed to Longxing Temple during the Tang Dynasty. In the fourth year of the Kaibao era of the Northern Song Dynasty (971 AD), a Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue was cast and the Great Compassion Pavilion was built by order of Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, forming the main architectural complex of the Song Dynasty. It was repaired during the Jin, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and underwent large-scale reconstruction during the Kangxi and Qianlong eras of the Qing Dynasty, forming a three-section layout of east, central, and west. After falling into disrepair in modern times, it was restored to its original appearance through scientific preservation after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Longxing Temple is a typical example for studying the layout of Buddhist temple architecture, integrating Buddhist art with traditional Chinese culture. Emperors of past dynasties, such as Kangxi and Qianlong, once stayed there. We also visited Longxing Temple to experience the architectural styles of the Tang, Song, and Qing dynasties, to feel the Buddha's broad-mindedness, and to feel the traces of the past.

Perhaps because of the rain, there weren't many people. It's a small ancient town with almost no interactive activities. There were only a few shows, which weren't as good as the online reviews suggested. The food at the small shops was expensive and mediocre. More importantly, while it's a half-hour taxi ride there, it took ages to get back. I finally managed to get a shared ride, but they wouldn't even charge extra. Transportation is inconvenient. The 98 yuan entrance fee only covered the night view.

Мы были в ноябре 2024. Да, для этого времени года тут развлечений не так много, как летом. Но детям есть где развлечься.

The museum isn't very large, but its collection is extensive and comprehensive, covering a long period of history. It's richly illustrated with text and images, and offers many interactive experiences. Children especially love the dinosaur specimens and models. It's a great place to bring kids on weekends to broaden their horizons.

Visiting the Temple of Heaven (天坛) in Beijing is a deeply enriching experience that blends history, architecture, and traditional Chinese philosophy. Built during the Ming Dynasty, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was where emperors once came to pray for good harvests, believing they were the “Sons of Heaven” responsible for maintaining harmony between heaven and earth.The most iconic structure here is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (祈年殿), with its striking blue-tiled roof and perfectly symmetrical design. What’s fascinating is that the entire structure was built without a single nail, showcasing the incredible craftsmanship of ancient Chinese builders. Walking through the vast park grounds, you’ll also notice locals practicing tai chi, singing, or simply enjoying the open space, which adds a living, cultural dimension to the visit.The atmosphere is peaceful and spacious, a pleasant break from Beijing’s busy streets.
