We walked 30,000 steps in the Forbidden City in one day and followed the tour group for half a day. I really want to praise our tour guide Xiao Xiao! The explanation was clear and interesting. I could feel that she really loved this job and had a lot of experience~
What's more rare is:
Time management master! She controlled the rhythm accurately throughout the whole process without procrastination;
She didn't let go even after the group was dispersed! Before the end, she thoughtfully planned the best return route + surrounding points of interest for tourists, so they didn't worry about getting lost;
Hidden skills maxed out! She knows the best camera positions for checking in📸, recommends cost-effective attractions, and can help you save money on tickets
The only drawback: the time is too short! It's not enough to listen to😭 The story of the Forbidden City is too heavy, and I already want to invite friends to visit it twice or three times
There are many palaces, and there are also many treasure details, etc. The tour guide's explanation of the ins and outs is also very detailed. You can walk around and sit, and the time control is also very reasonable, so you won't be too tired when you walk around.

I took my kids to play for a whole day. There were many people in the morning and the queue was long. There were fewer people in the afternoon and evening, and basically you could get a turn after waiting for 15 or 20 minutes. Several large projects are quite playable, and overall it is good.
Loved every part of this place. Went December 2024 and planning to visit again in December 2025- there were lots of things that we didn’t get to see or play! Some of the main rides had a loooong queue; we waited 1 hour-ish for the Decepticoaster and another 1 hour-ish at the Jurassic World ride. And we came beforee the park was open. In summary, 1 day is not enough 😂Take 1.5 days or 2 days better- or if you don’t have the time but do have the budget, get the all express pass. Totally going to worth it because looking at the queue of the express lane at the hot rides were literally empty- you could be playing 50 times while the same person still waits in line 😅😅😅Please don’t be fooled when people say there’s no queue during the winter season, hence you don’t need to take the express pass ticket- there were longgggg queues everywhere 😂Oh and if you’re ever here during winter time, please try the mint hot chocolate. So dreamy. Butterbeer as well- soooo good!

I bought the tickets in advance. There were so many people, people squeezed and watched each other, the wind from the city wall gate was equivalent to turning on an 18-degree air conditioner. If you don't believe me, try it. The wind from the arched gate of the beacon tower was also very strong.
[Attractions]: Badaling Great Wall [Transportation]: Bus and group (refer to the next summer Beijing with baby Raiders route) [Brief introduction] Badaling Great Wall is a section of the Great Wall, located 60 kilometers away from Tiananmen Square in Beijing. The Badaling Great Wall is different from climbing the mountain. You need to go back. The ticket is divided into two ways. You climb up and take a taxi. (120 yuan for one person, the same size and price, it is not recommended to sit, because the distance is very short, the first-grade children have absolutely no problem, mainly because the queue time is early. ) After the ticket inspection, the Badaling Great Wall is divided into south slopes and north slopes. The north slope is simpler and the south slope is steeper. If you can choose the north slope with your baby, there are 8 floors, we climbed to the 5th floor to take pictures and punch in and came down. It was mainly with the group, and the time was too late. [About the bathroom] There is only one after entering the inspection. In a hidden place, you need to climb up and down, and it is steep. Be careful; [Cold Drink] Wenchuang ice cream 25-28 yuan/piece, Beijing old popsicle 5 yuan/piece. [About safety] The gradient of the Great Wall is steep, and children need adults to pull it up; [Mountain climbing stick] The most expensive 15 yuan, I bought outside to buy wrong, after checking the ticket, there is a commissary.

Xiucai said Jiang Shangyi explained the Prince Gong Mansion in detail. The Prince Gong Mansion has beautiful scenery and a rich history. Guide Jiang provided thoughtful service and professional explanation. Recommend Xiucai said it brought us a good experience!
Xiucai said Jiang Shangyi's explanation of Prince Gong's Mansion was very professional. Prince Gong's Mansion witnessed the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty. From the extreme luxury during the Heshen period, it reflected the corruption and extravagance of the officialdom in the late Qianlong period; when Yixin was in power, Prince Gong's Mansion became one of the sources of reform thoughts such as the Westernization Movement, and also reflected the efforts of knowledgeable people in the late Qing Dynasty to reform and strengthen the country. Jiang's explanation was fascinating. Recommend Xiucai!

The Temple of Heaven has exquisite architecture and profound meaning. It is suitable for children to visit. The weather is sunny in autumn, and it is also very photogenic. The entire Temple of Heaven Park is very large, so you should set aside at least half a day. It is best to report for a tour guide. With a guide's explanation, you will better understand the design of the ancient craftsmen and have a deeper understanding of the profound Chinese culture.
I like Teacher Xiao Cai's wonderful explanations. I listened more than I saw at various scenic spots in Beijing. Teacher Xiao Cai's explanations not only included ancient and modern history, interactive questions and answers, but also life philosophy. I was able to follow the whole process and persisted to the end. I can't do without Teacher Xiao Cai's explanations. I have to make an appointment with Teacher Xiao Cai! Highly recommended

I highly recommend it. People with poor physical strength are advised to take a car or cable car. I have three children, two of whom climbed to the top. It took a total of 10 hours from the hotel at the foot of the mountain to the top and back to the hotel. It is really worth it and the price is not expensive. I strongly recommend it.
I took my child on a hike up the mountain and arrived at Nantianmen after six hours. I saw beautiful scenery along the way, exercised my child's perseverance, and let my child experience the difficulties of porters. I set out at 4 pm and arrived at Nantianmen at 10 pm. Due to heavy fog, I didn't see the sunrise the next day, but it was still a very happy experience...

Visiting the Summer Palace is like breaking into the old paintings. Kunming Lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the lush outline of Wanshou Mountain, sparkling between the waves, showing the style of the royal garden. Walking along the promenade, the color paintings are endless, and each one is hiding the past stories. The 17-hole bridge spans the lake, and the stone lions on the bridge are in a hundred states, like telling the vicissitudes of the years. Every brick, tile, grass and wood here is condensed with the charm of history and is intoxicating.
When you come to Beijing to see the royal buildings, the Forbidden City is the first choice, and when you see the royal gardens, the Summer Palace is the first choice. As the political center of the late Qing Dynasty, many stories happened in the Summer Palace. Group tours to the Summer Palace all enter from the East Gate. Entering the East Gate, the focus is on the Leshou Hall. The Leshou Hall is seven rooms wide and two rooms deep. It was the sleeping palace built by Emperor Qianlong for his mother. After Guangxu rebuilt it, it became Cixi's residence. Leshou Hall has an excellent geographical location. To the east, you can reach the Dehe Garden Theater, to the south, you can take a boat to enter and exit the Summer Palace, and to the west, you can reach the east entrance of the Long Corridor. After Leshou Hall, you will reach the Renshou Hall. Renshou Hall was rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Guangxu and was the place where Emperor Guangxu and Cixi worked and met guests. After Renshou Hall, you can continue to climb the Buddhist Incense Pavilion, or take a boat to Nanhu Island, or walk around the lake on the West Dike. The Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace is introduced by the water from Yuquan Mountain, and the water of Kunming Lake is introduced into the capital through the canal. Therefore, the Summer Palace has both garden landscapes and guarantees the city's water supply. It is really wonderful to kill two birds with one stone.

I came here because of its reputation and left with great excitement. However, there are too few parking lots nearby and the price is too high. I hope that such scenic spots and historical sites can be equipped with more supporting facilities to facilitate everyone's visit.
Baotu Spring is located in Lixia District, Jinan City. It is adjacent to Qianfo Mountain in the south, Quancheng Square in the east, and Daming Lake in the north. It has a very advantageous geographical location. It is the crown of the 72 famous springs in Jinan, with a long history that can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,700 years ago. At that time, it was called "Luo", and there was a record of "Gonghui Qi Hou in Luo" in "Spring and Autumn". Later, Zeng Gong, an official in Jinan, named it "Baotu Spring", and the name has been passed down since then. After years of baptism, Baotu Spring has witnessed countless historical changes and has become the symbol and soul of the city of Jinan.

Linda was a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and friendly, she gave very clear and concise directions in order to get the most out of seeing and exploring the best parts of the wall. I highly recommend this company and Linda
A very satisfying tour of the Great Wall! There are different levels of difficulty to challenge, and even the Hero Terrace is not that difficult to reach. There are only a few toilets and the signs are not detailed enough. I only found out that there was a toilet near the toilet. The scenery on the mountain is super beautiful! I saw the sea of clouds!

The all-wood structure uses no nails, and uses 54 types of brackets and mortise and tenon techniques to form a double-layer sleeve octagonal frame with excellent earthquake resistance. It has five floors and six eaves on the outside, but it is actually a structure with five visible and four hidden floors. The main body is made of North China larch and elm, with a total weight of 7,400 tons. It was certified by Guinness as the "world's tallest wooden tower" and is known as one of the "three most amazing towers in the world" along with the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda has stood for a thousand years. Its pure wooden structure is ingenious, its brackets are exquisite, and its Buddha statues and murals are beautiful. It is a treasure of ancient Chinese architecture and a model of world wooden architecture.
