We arrived before 10:00 AM and were able to enter the park in about 20 minutes—very quick.
The joyful atmosphere was immediately apparent upon entering. We took it easy, choosing whichever attractions were least crowded. In total, we managed to do 10 attractions that day.
The Halloween haunted houses were fun, and Mansion 81 was the most frightening. It was just that the experience lasted a long time. The supposed ghosts were put on by the staff, so just don't be the first one to arrive.
The restaurants along the North Ring Road are really good. Several on Universal Boulevard are reasonably priced, and there's even KFC.
All in all, we had a fun day.
It's a rare opportunity to visit Universal Studios. September 20th marked the park's fourth anniversary, and the park was packed. The Harry Potter area was the most popular, and they even had limited capacity. Many rides had long lines, and 90-minute waits were common. The rides were more thrilling than those at Shanghai Disneyland, which were relatively mild.

Great Wall of China is indeed very magnificent. Had a good and tiring walk at Badaling. May come back again if I have the energy and vacation. Indeed awesome journey. Excellent.
The Badaling Cable Car entrance is right after getting off the high-speed train. From a distance, it looked deserted, but the line inside was incredibly long. The single-ride cable car ticket was very useful, allowing for barrier-free access. Traveling off-peak was a good option, so it took only 40 minutes to board the cable car, which took us directly to Tower 7. We climbed the steep slopes, then the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th. Perseverance is key. If you can climb the Great Wall, you can do anything.

I arrived at the Yanmen Pass that I had longed for. It has a long history and is magnificent. I felt the long history of Chinese culture. I climbed the Great Wall, walked from the North Gate to the South Gate, and then walked from the South Gate to the North Gate. The experience was simply too great.
Yanmen Pass was a last-minute addition to our itinerary, and it was beyond my wildest dreams. The rich history and culture made me feel like I was witnessing the heroes who guarded the pass! While it's a long section of the Great Wall, the climb wasn't too strenuous! It's definitely worth a visit, highly recommended!

It's definitely worth a visit. It's huge, packed with animals, and even has a children's playground, making it a perfect place for families!
However, be sure to choose the right time; weekends are incredibly crowded. The lines for the herbivore train and the car rides in the wild animal area can both take at least two hours, which might be too much for children...
Be prepared for the food; it's definitely expensive, but that's understandable for a place like this. Mineral water is 8 yuan a bottle, sausages are 12 yuan each, and freshly squeezed juice is 38 yuan (the little bottles with animal prints are what kids love). Set meals are usually over 50 yuan!
Overall, a family outing to the zoo was a pleasant and enjoyable drive-through. The only downside is that the animals in the free-range area aren't truly free-range, but rather seem to be caged. Otherwise, the environment was quite satisfactory and quite interesting. It's best to go early; if you go late, there will be too much traffic and it will be crowded.

Definitely a place for families and teens who love labubus. I thought I wouldnt enjoy it but I really loved inside the castle walk through it was gorgeous.
Pop Mart City Park, located in Beijing's Chaoyang Park, is China's first immersive theme park featuring trendy toys and IPs. It has attracted numerous fans, especially young people and families with children. Inside, visitors can take photos with their favorite IPs (such as Molly, Labubu, and Dimoo), purchase exclusive park merchandise, and participate in stamp collection activities, adding to the fun. The IP-themed food and beverages, such as Labubu-shaped waffles and Molly cupcakes, are adorable and perfect for photo ops.

Watch giant aircraft carriers at the square
Saved by 282 users7860 positive reviews

The aircraft carrier is very spectacular and suitable for visiting. There are many comprehensive and detailed popular sciences, suitable for people of all ages to visit. It is an unforgettable experience and I will recommend it to my friends. It is suitable for military enthusiasts and people with a sense of gratitude. I hope to be able to board more aircraft carriers in the future. In addition to the aircraft carrier, there are also various wonderful performances and interactive projects. I look forward to seeing the fireworks in the future.
The TEDA aircraft carrier was a great experience. First, we visited the TEDA aircraft carrier. It was my first time inside an aircraft carrier. The design inside was particularly shocking. The shipboard was so large. It was my first time seeing such a large aircraft carrier. The doll experience was also very good. We also went to watch the car race. The players had first-class skills. The experience was very good and amazing. In the afternoon, we went to see the aviation storm. The performance was very realistic and worth coming back next time.

Daming Lake Scenic Area is really good overall, with charming scenery and attractive water. Wandering on the shore of Daming Lake, you can also experience the leisure of literati. There are Xin Qiji's poems. Xin Qiji is the most famous poet in the history of Jinan. He and Li Qingzhao are known as the two Ans of Jinan. When Xin Qiji was young, the female peak was bold and unrestrained.
Daming Lake is truly beautiful. Located in the heart of Jinan's downtown area, it covers a large area and offers stunning scenery. The most important thing is that in the summer, when the weather is good, watching the sunset here is truly a truly enjoyable 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.
