I had a fantastic trip to Universal Studios Beijing! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter captivated me the moment I entered the park. Hogwarts Castle was breathtaking, and the Forbidden Journey ride was a must-try. The 5D effect was incredibly realistic, and it felt like I was truly adventuring in the magical world. The Decepticon roller coaster was also incredibly thrilling and a welcome relief. Besides the rides, the float parade was also fun, and the performers were incredibly enthusiastic. The Three Broomsticks restaurant also had excellent food and a great atmosphere. However, weekends can be quite crowded, and lines can be long. If you want to maximize your experience, I recommend buying an Express Pass or visiting on a weekday.
This is my second time at Universal Studios. Why did I choose a 1.5-day trip? It was to let my kids have a blast again. During the summer vacation, there will definitely be a lot of people, and I'm afraid we won't be able to enjoy everything in one day. This time, we had a lot of fun and we went through all the rides twice and three times...

I went there at the end of May. The weather was still a bit cool, but the grass was already green. There were not many activities to do in the park, so I mainly enjoyed the scenery. It is more convenient to drive there. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so be sure to prepare a coat. The scenic spot ticket is valid for three days, and you can enter and exit the scenic spot as many times as you want within three days.
It’s worth going. It’s best to stay for 2 nights and thoroughly play. On the third day, I set off to Chifeng City and take the National View Avenue. It’s about 400 miles. The desert rides camels. The origin of the Daliao country. The museum is very shocking in the city. Finally, I went to the Kalka Wangye Mansion, the last Mongolian Wangye, the patriotic Wangye, Help Daqing Pingding Zhungar rebellion. A good place worth a few more trips, Ulan Butong I love you 😊.

The scenery inside the park is very beautiful and suitable for taking pictures. On sunny days, the pictures are very good. If the other half is open and there is no construction, the effect will definitely be better!
A photo-taking and check-in paradise, loved by all my girlfriends.
My younger sister is a Labubu fan.
I always felt like her looks weren't quite my style.
After seeing her live, I was a complete fan! She's so adorable!
The healing collection, with its vibrant pinks and greens, blends seamlessly, truly transports you back to childhood. I can't get enough of the photos. The game rewards are so good, I couldn't leave the mall once I got there. The purchases were beyond my expectations! 😅

TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park is my father's dream place. It finally came true. It is worth the trip. Adults and children who love military affairs must come here. It is best to ask for a tour guide to show you carefully.
It's very fun, especially the performances, which are very exciting and thrilling. The plot is very good, and the various stunts are so exciting that people can't watch them all. The children are deeply attracted. It's very good. They have an in-depth experience of the shock of sailing equipment and learned about weapons and equipment. The educational significance is extraordinary. The park is very large and there are many things to play. It's a good experience

The tour guide is very professional. He can show us the simulations in the science and technology museum. Many tour guides in other places can't play with them. The tour guide combines the children's school knowledge points and popularizes some science and technology knowledge on the spot, which is very useful for the children.
Overall Experience:
1. The venue is incredibly technological, with thoughtfully designed exhibits and a wide variety of them, offering both educational and playful content.
2. The venue is incredibly spacious. The main exhibition hall alone spans four floors, each with 2-4 halls. Each hall boasts an estimated 20-50 exhibits. While not every exhibit is enjoyable, even casually wandering around is incredibly tiring and time-consuming. Children can easily wander off, so it's recommended that they bring a smartwatch or have their parents supervise them closely.
3. There are virtually no resting areas within the venue, with adults and children sitting on the floor everywhere. Fortunately, the venue is clean, so you can sit anywhere without worrying about it.
4. It's incredibly crowded.

As a frequent traveler, the only thing I recommend about Xianluo Island is the sea cable car. This suspended, non-enclosed gondola ride is incredibly thrilling, with the sea breeze caressing your face and the vast expanse of turquoise waters, making it well worth a try. However, Xianluo Island itself isn't worth exploring; it's a small area and the attractions are relatively old. The island's conch museum isn't particularly impressive, but there are plenty of parking lots nearby, making it relatively convenient.
The island is small, and the details are beautiful to be discovered. It's just crowded, so you can take a boat to get to the island faster. I didn't take any photos or videos when I got off the island. I could have found more places to take photos.

If you haven't ridden the Ferris wheel, you should definitely try it! It's a must-do in Tianjin. I rode it in 2017 and thought I'd give it another try with my kids this time! Unexpectedly, the Tianjin Eye's cabin has been upgraded! We originally planned to ride the Haihe River cruise on the same day, but later realized we couldn't do both if we planned to ride it after the lights were on. Because the lines for the Ferris wheel were unpredictable, we waited for half an hour and rode for another half an hour. The Tianjin Eye is quite a distance from the cruise terminal. Luckily, I was able to schedule another cruise the next day.
"Ride" or "see"? If you don't want to queue or find the ticket price high, simply taking photos with the train from a distance and along the Haihe River is equally enjoyable. It's especially beautiful at night when lit up.
Best Time: If you want to ride, try to ride on weekdays or during the day (the night view is beautiful, but the lines are the most formidable). Be sure to check weather and operating announcements in advance.
Manage Expectations: The train primarily offers a panoramic view of the city and a sense of ceremony. Don't expect excessive luxury or thrills inside the cabin.

Teacher Sun’s explanation was very vivid. He told natural knowledge in a way that children liked. The children listened very carefully, and we adults also learned along. It was really worth the trip.
The National Museum of Natural History is a delight to visit. Even eight or ten visits wouldn't be enough to fully appreciate its vast collection of plant and animal specimens.
The six large, basic exhibition halls are clearly organized, laying out the fundamental framework of the evolution and development of life on Earth. With its strong educational appeal, it's a favorite among both young and old.
The only downside is that it's not convenient for those driving. This established museum lacks adequate parking for guests. You can park at the nearby subway entrance, where there's on-street parking, and then take the subway for a convenient ride.
