Universal Studios Beijing is worth a visit and well-managed. We went in late August, and it wasn't crowded, about one-fifth the size of Shanghai Disneyland. The food was delicious, and it was a truly wonderful experience. 😇
If you're visiting Universal Studios, I recommend staying at the nearby Weilai Hotel. It's a smart, modern hotel with high-end amenities, excellent service, and a delicious breakfast. It's also very quiet, both inside and out, and a 10-minute drive from Universal Studios Beijing. It meets all your needs and earns a 5-star rating. 😘

You must ask for a guide when visiting the Forbidden City, otherwise you will just be passing through. I made an appointment with Mr. Fan, the top scholar in Beijing. The teacher's explanation was professional, humorous, and comprehensive. I had a deeper understanding of the Forbidden City. It was a great value trip.
Mr. Fan, the top scholar in Beijing, gave a three-hour lecture. His explanations were detailed, lively and interesting, and the time and route arrangements were very reasonable. I learned about the history of the Forbidden City and the rare treasures in the Treasure House.

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...

Director Wang's lectures on Prince Gong's Mansion were excellent. He was clear and patient, and he managed to make complex history interesting. His professional knowledge was solid, and he incorporated illustrations and text for easier understanding. It wasn't boring, and I learned a lot.
It's worth a visit. I touched the word "Fu", walked the path of prosperity, and saw the golden nanmu worth 2.7 billion. I like the tour guide's explanation of the scenic area. The introduction was detailed and the children loved it!

The Temple of Heaven is much larger than I imagined. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is truly majestic and spectacular. You can't truly appreciate it without experiencing it firsthand. I highly recommend going if you haven't been!
It was definitely pollen season, but we didn't encounter any, which was fine.
The Temple of Heaven is always crowded, so be sure to go early, otherwise you'll be missing everyone.

The explanation was humorous and easy to understand, making it enjoyable for both adults and children. It also incorporated historical stories. I didn't listen to the guide's explanation last time, but this time, I felt very benefited after listening to the guide's explanation. The scenery was beautiful. The guide was also very good and recommended us. There were not many passers-by, so we were able to fully explore the attractions. I hope to use the same guide next time.
The West Causeway of the Summer Palace is located in the western part of the garden. It was built by Emperor Qianlong, modeled after the Six Bridges of the Su Causeway in Hangzhou. From north to south, the six bridges are Jiehu Bridge, Binfeng Bridge, Yudai Bridge, Jingqiao Bridge, Lianqiao Bridge, and Liuqiao Bridge. Each bridge has its own unique design, blending the essence of northern and southern garden art. Yudai Bridge is the most eye-catching. Its single-arch, high-arched white marble bridge has a clear span of 11.38 meters and a flowing curve. Large vessels can pass through it, and a boat barge is located on the west side of the bridge.
It is a prime example of a classical Chinese stone arch bridge and the only intact original Qianlong structure to survive after 1860. The other five bridges were destroyed, and the current bridges are reconstructions. Standing on the six bridges, you can see the Wuquanshan Pagoda clearly, as if it were right inside the garden.
To reach the Six Bridges of the West Causeway, you can take a boat from the east bank of Kunming Lake or from the Dragon King Temple Pier to Yudai Bridge. Alternatively, you can reach it by land from the marble barge, heading south from Jiehu Bridge. Visitors to the Summer Palace should not forget to walk along the West Causeway!

Great trip. Perfect!! The road to tower 20 - Hero's Platform. Cable car + Tabagoon worth it!!
The scenery is truly beautiful, with plenty of green space. The air is fresh!
It was a sunny day when we went, so the air was fresh, and the blue sky and white clouds made it even more magnificent.
It's truly a magnificent building! I'm so proud to be Chinese!
I brought my kids along, and they had a blast climbing it! We didn't feel tired at all!
Overall, it was a pretty relaxing trip!
Not many people there! And there were lots of foreigners there! They really added to the scenery!

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.

It took about 3 and a half hours to tour the entire Summer Resort. I bought a combined ticket for the mountain bus, boat ticket, and shuttle bus. The combined ticket was very cost-effective, better than buying them separately. I recommend hiring a tour guide so that you don't have to repeat the same route and you can also listen to historical explanations.
The scenery is nice and worth seeing. Setting aside the price, I just wanted to offer a suggestion: I really don't understand why veterans' cards from other provinces don't work. Perhaps it's to cover maintenance costs or something else? I feel like there's some regional disparity. You could get half price, too.
For those traveling alone, I recommend purchasing a small transportation package within the park. The mountain bus is highly recommended; it's a must. The penultimate stop offers a bird's-eye view of several major Chengde attractions. The lake boat is just okay—you'd miss it if you didn't, but then you'd feel completely unnecessary if you did. We didn't take the plains boat; the tour guide said there was only one attraction, but I'm not sure if that was true, so we skipped it. I hope this helps others who haven't been yet.

The waiting time for the wild animal area was excessively long, at least an hour and a half even when the park wasn't crowded. This immediately degraded the experience. I wouldn't recommend the wild animal experience with young children; they simply can't handle such a long wait. All other scenic features in the park received high marks.
That was a new experience for me spending almost whole day outdoor. Generally had a good experience interacting with animals. However, always long queue & waiting time ay least 120mims for popular spots like wild life bus and little scenery training around the zoo. Which i think is super wasting time or you can purchase fast pass. Also, there is no drinking water dispenser around the zoo you need to bring more water or you need to purchase with higher price inside the zoo.
