Summer Fun in the Water

I went with my children and bought a 1.5-day ticket. It rained on the second day.
We entered the park at 2:00 am on the first day. It was summer vacation. We waited in line for two hours for Jurassic Adventure, an hour for the AllSpark float parade, and another hour for the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey light show after a little over 8:00 am. The first half-day included: light photography, Jurassic Adventure, Waterworld, floats, AllSpark, light show, and Forbidden Journey. Food: Braised pork pancakes, Mengniu Ice Cream Workshop chocolate, and a bottle of water for 15 yuan.
It rained on the second day, and the lines for all attractions were significantly shorter. We entered the park, took photos with the actors, played all the Minions, went through Jurassic World twice, and then had dinner at Three Broomsticks. In the afternoon, we watched all the Kung Fu Panda rides, including the untamable show. My child is 8 years old and was scared of the Forbidden Journey. We didn't dare play the Hippogriff, Leap of Faith, or the Decepticons. We didn't think the 30-minute wait for the Velociraptor Encounter was worth it, but we did everything else. The two attractions were average, and we left the park at 4:00 AM, mainly because the kids weren't very energetic. We bought some souvenirs and went to Mengniu for a 100-yuan ice cream combo. That was the end of our trip. I recommend buying a three-item Premium Pass plus a single-day ticket; it's crucial for children to avoid long lines. Among the three, I chose the Spark, Forbidden Journey, and Minions Mayhem—a great value. For those with more stamina, a 1.5-day ticket will save you money and allow you to enjoy the entire park, but it's tiring. Also, it's better to visit on a rainy day than a sunny one; shorter lines are crucial.
The holiday season is quite busy, so I made a plan beforehand. If you only have one day, you'll need to be very tight on time, depending on the number of visitors and weather conditions. I opted for a two-day ticket and was very satisfied with the experience. I was able to enjoy all the activities I wanted, even doing some twice. I also saw the scheduled performances, which were fantastic. If you've come all the way here and don't want to regret it, I recommend buying a two-day ticket.

First time visit Badaling Great Wall. Bought the 2 ways cable car ticket and great wall admission ticket though trip.com. Took the cable car up to the Great Wall tower 8 then walked / climbed to tower 9, 10, 11 and finally 12. A lot of excercise and steep uphill and downhill. Not suitable for old people. However, the scenic views are malverous.
Badaling is a prime spot in the Beijing section, but it's overcrowded with tourists! If you'd like to see a different, more unique section of the Beijing section, I recommend Mutianyu, where there aren't many tourists and the scenery is stunning...

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 is beautiful and worth a visit, but the surrounding environment needs improvement. The road is too narrow, and I hope the government can expand it.
I hope the My Fair Princess attraction will inform everyone that vehicles cannot exit once they enter, as this would be very inconvenient for tourists in a hurry. Because I couldn't exit after entering, I spent almost two hours wandering around enjoying the beautiful scenery, and there was only a one-way road inside.

I'm glad my notes are helpful. Below is my honest review of the Beijing Wildlife Park. I hope it's helpful:
Pros:
A wide variety of animals: The Beijing Wildlife Park boasts over 500 species, including giant pandas, Siberian tigers, giraffes, rhinos, and more. It's a great place for families to enjoy an educational and entertaining visit with children.
Beautiful Natural Environment: The park's design is close to nature, with lush greenery and spacious living areas for the animals, allowing visitors to better observe their natural habits.
Diverse Tours: In addition to the standard walking area, there are also drive-through areas, performances, and feeding opportunities, enriching the experience.
Strong Science and Education: The park features science exhibitions and guides, perfect for children to learn about animals and enhance their environmental awareness.
Cons:
Traffic Congestion: Traffic around the park is prone to congestion during peak hours on holidays and weekends, so it's recommended to plan your trip in advance.
Maintenance Needs Improvement in Some Areas: Some facilities and exhibition areas appear a bit dated, and there is room for improvement in hygiene and maintenance.
The experience may be affected by heavy crowds, especially in popular areas, where lines are long and some attractions have extended wait times.
Overall Review:
Beijing Wildlife Park is a great place for the whole family, with a diverse animal species and beautiful surroundings, perfect for enhancing children's knowledge of animals and environmental awareness. Avoiding peak times and planning your trip in advance will enhance the experience. If you love animals and nature, this place is definitely worth a visit!
I hope my review was helpful! If you have any specific suggestions or questions, please let me know!
It was a fantastic experience, and I especially loved interacting with the animals. They were all so adorable and friendly. You can tell the zoo takes great care of its animals. I hope all the animals in the zoo can live happy and fulfilling lives.

Beautiful place, clean tungsten, gorgeous territory, beautiful well-groomed animals, recommend to visit.
I went to the zoo in the morning. The panda house was on the right hand side as soon as I entered. The panda house required a separate ticket of 5 yuan. I had to queue up separately for the Xizhimen San Taizi. After watching for 5 minutes, the crowd cleared and the next person came to visit. If Menglan went back to the house, they would not let you in. Many people brought selfie sticks. The glass of the zoo is very reflective, so it was better to use a selfie stick away from the glass. In fact, as long as Menglan came out, the queue was quite fast. I happened to catch up with the bamboo eating in the morning and saw several pandas eating bamboo.

No one could have predicted that Labuboo would become so popular this year. 🤣
Last year, I took my kids there and it was a great photo op. There were also performances. The only downside was that it was difficult to buy food.
If youre a labubu or molly fan, its worth visiting. Only need 2hrs at most as its currently being renovated, so some areas closed. A few nice photo ops, you can go around stamp collecting and they give you a booklet for this, free. Check the show schedules if you want to watch. Not many figurines to buy / choose from. Visit popmart if you want to collect the figurines.

Watch giant aircraft carriers at the square

Standing on the deck of the Tianjin aircraft carrier, the steely texture of the massive vessel hits you head-on. Gun barrels point skyward, and the stained dashboards within hold stories of the past. The sea breeze sweeps across, and the roar of the engines echoes. Touching the cold hull, you feel the weight of history and the awe of military engineering. Every detail speaks of past glory, giving you a deeper understanding of peace and strength.
I brought my parents here, and the elderly still like these. The aircraft carrier is a bit old, but it is worth watching a few performances. The car stunts have a code cow, don't miss it, and you can also see the motorcycles. The performance of the aircraft carrier is a bit like a smaller version of Universal Studios' Water World. You need to buy a separate ticket on holidays, but not on weekdays. In short, it is still quite lively.

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.

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.
The experience was average, with a queue of about three hours. The cable car ride took about 10 minutes one way, and the boat ride back took about 10 minutes.
The scenic area lacks amenities, the queues are poorly organized, and queue-jumping is common.
The sanitation was poor.
