Universal is worth a visit. Even if you don't bring children, young people can play. There are exciting and gentle rides. If you have a fast pass, you can play all the projects. The staff are also very friendly! Except for the expensive consumption inside, there is nothing wrong with it. If you have good energy, you can play from 9 am to closing time. The program is very rich and worth going.
It's a great place to take the kids for a walk, and the kids had a lot of fun. The park is well-planned, and it's not tiring to walk around. There are also small trains and performances along the way, which is especially suitable for the whole family to play. The environment is also very clean, and the staff are very enthusiastic. I will come again next time. It's a great place to take the kids for a walk, and the kids had a lot of fun. The park is well-planned, and it's not tiring to walk around.

This time when I came to the Forbidden City in Beijing, I made an appointment with Teacher Hou to give a tour guide. His explanation was very vivid and he told the 600-year history of the Forbidden City in an extremely wonderful way. The old and children in my group all loved listening to it. He brought us into the Forbidden City and everyone listened with gusto. I highly recommend Teacher Hou.
The explanation is vivid and interesting, and easy to understand! The tour guide, Teacher Xu, is knowledgeable and combines carefully prepared pictures to visually present the heavy history, exquisite architecture and character stories of the Forbidden City, which is fascinating. The language is clear, fluent and humorous, making history come alive. During the visit, the children asked a lot of questions, and the teacher patiently answered them one by one, and the stories were interesting. The best shooting points were also recommended, and the service was thoughtful! Professional and interesting, not only did it increase my knowledge, but I also deeply felt the profoundness of Chinese culture and the charm of the Forbidden City. It was an unforgettable cultural experience with great value, and I recommend it with five stars!

Take a cable car to enjoy the fall scenery of The Great Wall

We went to Beijing. It is said that one is not a true man if he has not visited the Great Wall, so we went to Badaling Great Wall. The scenery there is beautiful and worth going. Halfway through, we suddenly found a takeaway drone platform on the Great Wall, but we did not try it because of the strong wind. Fortunately, we were prepared to enjoy delicious food on the border. This section of the Great Wall is divided into two sections, north and south. We walked the shorter side, which was very tiring. There are fewer people in this section, so the difficult side may attract more people to challenge it. It is a pity that the Great Wall is not open for long enough. There is no road halfway through. Looking through the wall, the Great Wall outside is all broken rocks and broken arms, which makes people feel sad. Overall, it is still worth a visit.
The cable car is convenient and fast. There are rest and supply stations and toilets on the Great Wall. The experience is full of service. Unfortunately, when I first got on the shuttle bus, I didn't know that there were north and south lines. After I got off, I watched Douyin and found out that the aerial cable car and the ground cable car are separated by north and south lines. I wanted to experience both. The stone with the inscriptions on the Hero's Stele is on the south line and the Hero's Slope is on the north line. I didn't know it at first, so I just walked to the end of the north 12.

I came here on a free trip with my children. No one rushed us. We slowly walked around the whole courtyard and visited every attraction. It felt really good. There were not many people. Although the weather was very hot, it was very cool as long as it was indoors. It was also very convenient to enter and go out. It was much better than queuing in the long line at the Forbidden City. It is highly recommended🫰
Under the guidance of our guide Sun, we spent 4 hours to visit Prince Gong's Mansion. Although the weather was very hot, our guide Sun was enthusiastic and humorous. He explained the past and present of Prince Gong's Mansion and showed us the three unique treasures and one treasure of Prince Gong's Mansion. In short, the trip was worthwhile.

Tour guide Xiao Cai explained to us, from the tree at the entrance to the patterns on the beams to the main buildings, and we gained a lot of knowledge. The explanation was lively and interesting, not boring at all, and the questions we asked were answered immediately. It was a very fulfilling few hours. If you don't listen to the explanation, you really can't see the doorway by yourself. It rained heavily in the afternoon, and Tour guide Xiao Cai was very patient to wait for everyone. Thank you tour guide ε(*´･ω･)з!
The explanation is professional and vivid, and the history and culture of the Temple of Heaven are explained thoroughly and interestingly! It is highly interactive and fascinating throughout. Both adults and children listen with great interest. It is definitely worth recommending!

Overlook autumn scenery from the Tower of Buddhist Incense(Summer Palace)
World Cultural Heritage
Saved by 6726 users28680 positive reviews

The tallest building in the Summer Palace is not the Tower of Buddhist Incense, but the Hall of Wisdom. The Hall of Wisdom is a beamless hall, with its outer layer decorated with yellow and green glazed tiles, and its upper part covered with gray and blue glazed tiles. The whole building is magnificent. The Hall of Wisdom was built during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, and contains 1,110 statues of the Buddha of Infinite Life. In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered the Summer Palace and destroyed the Buddha statues on the Hall of Wisdom. Currently, the Buddha statues on the Hall of Wisdom have been basically rebuilt in recent years. There is also a memorial archway in front of the Hall of Buddha, named "The Realm of Incense", which is a glazed roof of seven memorial archways, and it forms an integral part with the Hall of Wisdom. Standing here and looking south, you can see the vast Kunming Lake.
Most tourists enter the Summer Palace from the East Gate, while the North Gate is less crowded and closest to the Beigongmen Station of Metro Line 4. Entering from the North Gate is Suzhou Street, which is a shopping street based on Suzhou Shantang Street. Tickets must be purchased separately. Entering the North Gate is the back mountain of the Summer Palace. The attractions of the back mountain are Xumi Lingjing and the Four Continents, which are a group of mixed Han-Tibetan Buddhist buildings. In 1755, when suppressing the Junggar Rebellion, Qianlong received support from the upper echelons of the four tribes of the Mongolian Walut, and for this reason, he specially built the Four Continents in the back mountain in imitation of the Samye Monastery in Shannan, Tibet. The Four Continents of the Summer Palace and the Four Continents of the Puning Temple in the Eight Outer Temples of the Chengde Mountain Resort use the same drawings and the same construction team. In 1860, the British and French allied forces entered the Summer Palace and burned down the Xumi Spiritual Realm. The current structure was rebuilt in 1980. From 2010 to 2012, it underwent large-scale repairs to restore the four major continents. Above the four major continents is the Sea of Wisdom, which is the tallest building in the Summer Palace and was built during the Qianlong period. The Sea of Wisdom is a stone building. The hall enshrines countless Buddha statues. The outer layer is decorated with glazed tiles and carved with thousands of glazed Buddha statues. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded, the Buddha statues were severely damaged, but now they have been repaired. Climbing up the Sea of Wisdom and looking down at Kunming Lake, one's heart is surging with emotion. History has passed here, and the stories that happened here are unforgettable.

This is probably the easiest part of the Great Wall to climb. The renovated stone steps are effortless to climb. It is more convenient to rent a car to go there, which does not waste time, and the return trip is also a resting process.
Very good. I took my parents to the whole city on the ropeway, without having to climb the mountain. The scenery is good and there are relatively few people. It is a recommended scenic spot with complete supporting facilities. I had a lot of fun🥳

The Hanging Temple is very spectacular when viewed from below. Unfortunately, I only bought the first ticket and forgot to book the ticket to enter the temple. I saw that the online reservation was full when I arrived at the upper entrance, so it was too late to go down and buy it. But it was very good to see it from below.
It is worth buying a VIP boarding ticket during the peak tourist season. There is a special car to pick you up from the Hengshan Visitor Center to the entrance of the Hanging Temple. It is a special entrance and exit. A special tour guide will lead you to the Hanging Temple from the Northern Wei Plank Road Research Institute and give you a tour. You don't have to wait in line for two hours to board. After you get off, you will also receive cultural and tourism gifts.

Very nice royal garden, beautiful scenery. It just rained when I went there, so it was not hot. The garden is mostly in the mountainous area. It is recommended to take a mountain tour bus, otherwise you can't get to those places. The lake area is not big, you don't need to take a boat, you can walk through it in more than 20 minutes, and the scenery along the way is nice.
The hotel is in a very good location, close to the Summer Resort and the Eight Outer Temples. Standing on the Ermadao scenic spot on the top of the Summer Resort, you can see the hotel, which is next to the Xumi Fushou Temple. The hotel is a Chinese-style garden with an elegant environment. The service staff is very good, especially Xiaotong and Feifei at the front desk. They are very enthusiastic and upgraded the room type when they saw that they brought children. I like them. The hotel is worth recommending. Both adults and children are very satisfied.

Visitors in the self-driving area can watch animals from a 360-degree angle in the car. The animals will actively come up to ask for food, which is very interesting. The walking area has a special interactive area where visitors can feed alpacas, camels and other animals, and watch performances such as animal behavior displays.
It's really fun here. It's my first time bringing my kids here. There are many animals. I drove in and took a walk around first, then lined up for the beast world. It wasn't too hot, clean and sanitary. The kids were very happy!
