Universal Resort Beijing is definitely worth a visit. Its Universal Studios is Hollywood's first entertainment project in mainland China, so it's a must-see.
The resort is still under construction, and more attractions will be added in the future. It's already very popular with tourists, so if you're visiting Beijing, be sure to schedule time to go to Universal Studios.
The rides are thrilling and fun, especially the Harry Potter and Transformers rides, which are truly impressive. The staff are friendly and professional, providing attentive service; the park is orderly and clean. The dining and rest areas are well-arranged, making for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

The service was excellent, and the explanations were very detailed, especially regarding the historical information about the First Pass Under Heaven. It was much more interesting than exploring the scenic area on your own, making it a very good learning and travel experience.
Shanhaiguan, the First Pass Under Heaven. When visiting a place like this with the whole family, it's essential to hire a guide to better understand the history; otherwise, you'll just be rushing through the sights!

The Araya scenic area is excellent and highly recommended. Located in the Gold Coast Resort, it boasts a long coastline and beautiful beaches. Summer is the best time to visit. Since it's a closed-door area, safety is guaranteed.
Hidden beneath the coastal dunes, the Aranya Dune Art Museum is a work of land art in its own right. Its interior resembles a mysterious cave, with winding galleries connected by several light wells. Natural light pours in, blending with the sea breeze and the sound of waves to become part of the exhibition. Experiencing contemporary art here and experiencing the ingenious fusion of man-made and natural elements is a unique sensory experience.

A fantastic scenic spot! The cultural tourism is exceptionally well-developed! The traffic management department is also very considerate; parking at the entrance of the scenic area didn't result in a ticket—kudos! The Tang Emperor's Eastern Expedition was breathtaking; the trip was definitely worthwhile! I'll definitely visit Hetou Old Street again!
It was really fun, and the shows were fantastic. The only problem was the sheer number of tourists; there were constant traffic jams and long queues. By the end of the day, I was completely exhausted. Haha 😃

As a frequent traveler, the only thing I recommend about Xianluo Island is the sea cable car. This suspended, non-enclosed gondola ride is incredibly thrilling, with the sea breeze caressing your face and the vast expanse of turquoise waters, making it well worth a try. However, Xianluo Island itself isn't worth exploring; it's a small area and the attractions are relatively old. The island's conch museum isn't particularly impressive, but there are plenty of parking lots nearby, making it relatively convenient.
The island is small, and the details are beautiful to be discovered. It's just crowded, so you can take a boat to get to the island faster. I didn't take any photos or videos when I got off the island. I could have found more places to take photos.

Yulong Sand Lake's yellow sands stretch like golden waves, nestled amidst a turquoise expanse. Any photo opportunity creates a breathtaking spectacle, and it also embodies the ancient heritage of "China's First Dragon."
The must-do desert buggy ride is thrilling, a 25-minute adrenaline-pumping experience. Paired with scenic views from the Bailong sightseeing bus and camel rides, the experience is a perfect balance of action and tranquility, ensuring a truly captivating experience. Highly recommended!
I drove over 200 kilometers specifically to experience Yulong Sand Lake, but overall, I was pretty underwhelmed.
The park is quite large, but the layout is illogical. The ticket prices are also quite confusing: 80 yuan for the entrance fee and 120 yuan for the lakeside train (including the entrance fee), effectively telling everyone to take the train. The scenery around the lake is rather monotonous and lacks any novelty. The sandboarding and camel rides are both fun and require additional fees.

[View] Ulan Butong is a three-dimensional landscape blending grassland and forest, with elegant and beautiful Yin and soft in the south, masculine masculinity in the north, colorful feasts in the four seasons, humanistic and natural symphony of lakes and wetlands, and characteristics of biological diversity and multiple experiences.
The tourist highlights of Wulanbutong Grassland are rich and varied, covering natural landscapes, cultural history, special activities and food. The following is a detailed introduction:
Natural Landscape
- Vast grassland and diverse landforms: Wulanbutong Grassland is located in the Inner Mongolia Plateau, with an average altitude of 1,640 meters, and the grassland is vast. The eastern and central mountain ranges in the scenic area are continuous, and there are many sand dunes in the northwest. There are also wetlands, rivers, lakes, etc. For example, there are large areas of wetlands along the Wulan River and Jiangjun Paozi, with excellent vegetation and rich species.
- Colorful autumn colors of Wucai Mountain: From September to October every year, Wucai Mountain presents a colorful landscape due to its rich vegetation. The birch and poplar trees are yellow, the maple and oak trees turn red, the pines and cypresses are green all year round, and various shrubs are also of different colors, as if the palette has been overturned.
- European style scenery area: The rolling hills and grasslands are dotted with sparse or dense birch trees. The grassland and forest are perfectly integrated, and the scenery is charming, comparable to the European grassland scenery.
- Panlong Gorge: The Sarik River flows through the mountains and ridges in this valley. The steep banks are densely forested, and the valley bottom is covered with water and grass. The river is winding like a dragon for dozens of kilometers.
Humanities and History
- Ancient battlefield site: This was the ancient battlefield where Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty personally fought against Galdan. There are ruins such as General Paozi, Twelve Camps, and Tong Guogang's Tomb. It is said that General Paozi was formed by the gushing out of groundwater after the Qing army's artillery scattered Galdan's camel formation.
- Film and TV shooting base: Wulanbutong is a famous film and TV location shooting site. More than 60 film and TV works such as "My Fair Princess", "Kangxi Dynasty" and "Emperor Wu of Han" were filmed here. There are many stone tablets of film and TV dramas in the scenic area, which has become a popular choice for tourists to check in.
Special activities and food
- Folk culture activities: Grassland Nadam is a traditional Mongolian festival, with horse racing, wrestling, archery and other competitive events. In addition, there are bonfire parties, Wulanbutong Night and other activities, where tourists can sing and dance with herdsmen and experience ethnic culture.
- Grassland entertainment projects: You can experience horse riding, camel riding, sand motorcycles, sand sliding and other entertainment projects, galloping on the grassland, feeling the pleasure of the wind whistling in your ears, or take an off-road vehicle deep into the hinterland of the grassland to explore those little-known beauties.
- Mongolian specialties: There are meat delicacies such as roasted lamb legs, beer-baked lamb, and air-dried beef, as well as special drinks such as kumis. Visitors can taste the authentic Mongolian flavor.

I came here with my kids to play. During the National Day holiday, there were more people than animals. I waited in line for an hour but still didn't see any animals. Then I fell asleep because I was tired.
It's very suitable for bringing children. It's so convenient and comfortable to drive in. You can see almost all animals except pandas. It's very good to travel during off-peak hours.

Xinao Underwater World really surprised me. There are many small underwater animals here. The first floor is full of underwater marine life, and there are many beautiful check-in spots on the second floor. There are not many people here, and there is also the first beauty show.
The underwater world is incredibly captivating! Stepping into it is awe-inspiring! Through a transparent tunnel, schools of tropical fish dart overhead, nimble manta rays glide gently, and tiny seahorses hide among the colorful corals. It feels like stepping into a truly unforgettable deep sea. The staff provide detailed explanations, and the interactive experience is engaging. Perfect for families or couples, this immersive experience is truly worth a visit!

During the National Day holiday on October 1st, there were many tourists, so we could only take a quick look at the scenery. Since the only way to tour the scenic area is by sightseeing bus, we had to skip some attractions to avoid queuing. Overall, it was still worth visiting, but it's best to avoid going during peak hours. We also took a helicopter tour of the seaside scenery within the scenic area, which was short but still worthwhile, as we saw some unique views.
I drove here specifically for this trip. It was so beautiful that I cried. I happened to catch the sunset. It was a bit late and I didn't have much fun, but seeing the sunset 🌄 made the trip worthwhile.
