Xiucai said that Mr. Zhang's explanations were clear and focused, and he was good at inspiring interaction, making the boring history vivid and interesting. The service was considerate and attentive throughout the whole process, making it a perfect tour experience.
I was so lucky to have Ms. Fang, the top scholar in Beijing, give a lecture on the Forbidden City! Her knowledge of history, architecture, and cultural relics is at her fingertips, and her explanations are clear and easy to understand. Her language is vivid and passionate, and she tells the story of the Forbidden City in an engaging way. She is enthusiastic, patient, attentive, and flexible, adapting to the interests of the visitors. She is always attentive to the guests, providing rest areas, slow explanations, and excellent photo vantage points. Through her lectures, I truly felt the charm of the Forbidden City and the profoundness of Chinese culture. Highly recommended to all visitors!

I have always wanted to come to this place. This time when I came to Beijing, I finally had the opportunity to come and see it. There were still so many people, but it was really fun. I finally saw many elements I saw on TV here. I liked it very much. Although the queue time was a bit long, it was really worth it. You must come here on non-holidays.
We had so much fun! First time at Universal Studios, and I regret nothing! Facilitiea were in good condition and the staff were very welcoming. Highly recommend! MUST try butterbeer at Harry Potter!

This was my second time here. Parking at the night show was very convenient; you could drive right up to the entrance and park nearby.
This time, I took the cable car to the highest point, the South Fourth Floor, then descended all the way to the intersection of the North and South Buildings, then climbed back up to the North Fourth Floor.
The scenery along the way was truly stunning. I recommend arriving at 5:30 PM to enjoy the sunset. The night view is captivating after the lights turn on at 6:30 PM.
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 Yungang Grottoes are truly breathtaking! Each Buddha statue is incredibly lifelike, as if speaking to you from across millennia. The carvings within the grottoes are exquisitely crafted, with breathtaking detail. Wandering through them, you'll feel the weight of history and appreciate the wisdom and ingenuity of ancient artisans. Simple praise is insufficient; the beauty here is worth savoring for a lifetime. Highly recommended to anyone who loves history and art!
I marveled at the skill of the ancient artists; such stunning creations exemplify the grandeur of an ancient power. I requested a guide, but it was rather rushed. Perhaps it was the sheer volume of content or the rapid pace of instruction, but I felt rushed and my understanding fragmented. Three hours was simply not enough to fully appreciate the artistic beauty of the grottoes. The colorful paintings on the murals and the diverse forms of the Buddha statues all exemplify the artistry of the era.

Booking tickets on Ctrip was quick and easy, and scanning the QR code to enter the palace saved time and effort. Prince Gong's Mansion truly represents "half of the history of the Qing Dynasty," with exquisite architecture and elegant gardens. I touched the "Fu" stele for good luck and fortune, and it was a worthwhile trip. Highly recommended!
It's just so-so. It's just so-so. It's just so-so. It's just so-so. It's just so-so. It's just so-so. It's just so-so.

The Temple of Heaven, located on Beijing's central axis, is a place of prayer, boasting the best-preserved and most exquisite architecture of the Temples of Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is a landmark of Beijing and even China. The park's vast expanse offers a breathtaking, quaint charm year-round, and its various buildings embody the pinnacle of ancient Chinese prayer. The park boasts verdant pines, cypresses, unusual rocks, and unique trees, while the magnificent illuminations of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests are a true classic. The park offers affordable admission, with discounts for students and seniors. Located in the heart of the city, the park is easily accessible by subway and public transportation.
The Temple of Heaven is a complex of imperial religious Confucian buildings situated in the southeastern part of central Beijing. The complex was visited by the Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for a good harvest.It's "a masterpiece of architecture and landscape design which simply and graphically illustrates a cosmogony of great importance for the evolution of one of the world's great civilizations..."It's a beautiful place.It's an excellent place for meditation as well.

Autumn Summer Palace, a century-old gui Zhengyi Fanghua. Go to the Paiyun Palace and Leshou Hall, finely chopped gold foils are covered with branches, sweet fragrance wrapped in autumn wind overflowing, mixed with water vapor in Kunming Lake, making people feel comfortable. Stop under the flowers, watch the light and shadows spill through the gap, listen to the light of the cruise ship rowing, the nose is cinnamon fragrance, the bottom of the eyes is the red wall yellow tile and the blue wave. No need to deliberately find the scenery, only this wisp of fragrance, let the autumn garden more gentle poetry.
Teacher Wu Ping was very knowledgeable and kept explaining throughout the tour. She was very considerate of the elderly and always took the tourists into consideration. She was very attentive. At the end, she even gave us a fun little gift - building blocks. I didn't feel too tired after following the whole tour, and I learned a lot. It was really eye-opening. A highly recommended tour guide.

1. The Hanging Temple of Hengshan Mountain. The entire temple clings to the cliffs of Hengshan Mountain, supported by only a single pillar. It's incredibly precarious, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment, a truly daunting sight.
2. The Hanging Temple at the foot of Hengshan Mountain is a breathtakingly ingenious structure. This massive temple seems to soar into the air, leaving you in awe of the ingenuity of the craftsmen thousands of years ago.
3. I wonder how the builders of the Hanging Temple managed to transport the stones and wood up the mountain.
4. The Hanging Temple of Hengshan Mountain, the Northern Peak, is truly a rare sight.

Best scenic views. Good walk. Clean. Noone smoking. Definite choice for seeing great wall.
best plan is to take cable car up to station 14 and walk towards station 4, take another gondola lift or luge down. Most are down slope from station 14 to station 4. I brought water and bread up, then realise few stations has small stall selling coffee, milk tea and food.

The Ulan Butong Scenic Area is truly worth a visit. The air is fresh, the autumn leaves are golden, the lake is azure, and the cattle, sheep, and horses are running freely. It is truly beautiful.
The second time we visited was during the off-season, when there were fewer people and the scenery was beautiful. The experience was strong, including horseback riding, archery, and eating lamb skewers. The scenery was so beautiful that every picture was a blockbuster. It felt like we were traveling back in time, far away from the city.
