Guide Chen was well-equipped to explain the architectural details and even contextualize the Ming and Qing dynasties, helping us understand the cultural significance of the Forbidden City. He also provided helpful information like the best photo spots and rest areas. The interactive nature of the lecture was strong, and through questions and analogies, he avoided dull explanations and enhanced the experience. Excellent.
The guide Chen mentioned by Xiucai is very good. The explanation is very detailed. Almost every scenic spot is explained clearly, and the historical background is also explained clearly. It is worth the money. I will recommend friends to support Ctrip Travel in the future.

Summer Water Party
The world's fifth Universal Studios theme park

My little one is a Harry Potter fan, and this trip to Universal Studios was a dream come true. We bought two-day tickets and tried all the rides on the first day and all the shows on the second day, including a second try on some of the rides we found particularly fun on the first day. I highly recommend Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Transformers: Spark of Fire. I highly recommend the Harry Potter and the Magic Castle light show at night; it's fine to just watch it from a distance or skip it altogether.
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.

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.

Guide Xiucai Shuo Jiang took us on a journey through Prince Gong's Mansion, recounting the stories of its successive owners. This place witnessed the historical process of the Qing Dynasty from its heyday to its decline. Overall, it was a fantastic experience! Excellent service! Great value! Highly recommend Xiucai Shuo!
It was a very pleasant group tour experience. I originally thought that a three-day trip would be very rushed if it was completed in one day. I was surprised by the professionalism and patience of Guide Su. Guide Su has a wealth of professional knowledge and explains very patiently. Not only is his explanation detailed but it is also very vivid. He gave me a good history lesson and gave me a deeper understanding of this period of history. I also sympathize with and thank the driver, Master Cheng, for his protection along the way. We had a pleasant end to this trip. Finally, thank you again for your dedication to everyone.

Mount Tai is definitely worth a visit. This is my second time climbing from Hongmen. I always climb in the morning and descend in the afternoon, making it a straight line all day. It's very convenient. The scenery is beautiful!
Mount Tai is still worth a visit. Besides Mount Tai, Tai'an also has good food. I recommend the Taishan No. 1 Basket. Don't eat too much of one flavor, or you'll get sick of it. The fried chicken and pancakes are also very good, but avoid the internet-famous restaurants like Lao Moumou and Moumoucai. The fried chicken is good, but the sauce flavor is lacking, and the pancakes are served in a bag. If you want to eat these, I recommend going to a specialized, freshly made pancake shop. The larger ones have stir-fried dishes inside. I've been to Mount Tai four times, and twice had the scallion pancakes at Zhaoji, which were pretty good.

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.

I stayed in Jinan for four days and three nights to watch Jay Chou's concert, and also took the opportunity to see the famous Baotu Spring. It was very convenient to take a taxi to the ticket office and scan the code to buy tickets to enter the park. Baotu Spring is very beautiful, the water is green like jade, and the three springs gurgle and sigh at the magic of nature. It's just that there are too many tourists, so the experience is slightly discounted, but the spring is still worth a look.
I took a quick tour: entering through the East Gate, visiting Guanlan Pavilion, Luoyuan Hall, Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall, Wanzhu Garden, and exiting through the North Gate.
The spring water was crystal clear, and the koi fish in it were incredibly plump.
Overall, the tour was quite pleasant.

Outside the Jin Temple is a huge park that was built later and is completely free. Inside are historical buildings that require admission, which is well worth a visit. There are various historical and cultural buildings and ancient trees.
This is Taiyuan's top recommended attraction. Tickets are a bit pricey at 80 yuan, though those over 60 are free. The museum is beautiful, with a new view at every step. The greenery is beautiful, and the three ancient national treasures are very distinctive and worth seeing. It's recommended to arrive early to avoid catching up with large tour groups.

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.

Pingyao Ancient City is quite large. There are electric cars (10 yuan per trip) that go from the parking lot at Xiaoximen to the ancient city. There are many of these cars at the entrances of the city's tourist attractions. You need to buy a pass to visit the attractions in the ancient city.
Compared to all the famous ancient cities in China, Pingyao Ancient City can truly be described as a truly ancient city. It retains the features of an ancient city, with its escort agencies, banks, government offices, City God Temple, and Confucian Temple all well-preserved. The only drawback is the lack of signage leading into the ancient city. I wonder if the scenic area is deliberately trying to encourage electric taxi drivers to take advantage of short journeys, but they're taking detours to justify the distance and charge a ten-yuan fare per person. The scenic area also has plenty of clean restrooms, which I commend for their management.
