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.

Xiucai said that Guide Li took me on a tour of the Forbidden City. Twenty years ago, I revisited the Forbidden City with Guide Li's guidance, and I gained new insights and experiences. Guide Li was enthusiastic, patient, and attentive in his explanations. If I bring children here next time, I will ask Guide Li to lead the tour again.
We absolutely loved the tour. In such a crowdy place that would be impossible to navigate with proper guide. We were also given useful tips for sightseeing Beijing. We were told plenty of information about history of the place and Caesar’s life.

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.
Sangat suka tapi terlalu mahal dan walau bukan weekend sangat banyak sekali , padat merayap. Sangat sesak dan sangat bikin emosi

The palace is definitely worth a visit. However, it's quite crowded with tour groups. It took about two hours to tour the entire palace. I didn't queue for the Fu stele; if I had, I'd probably have waited another half hour.

The tour started with a meeting point to board a bus to bring us to the attraction entrance. Our guide Lianghua was punctual, gave us an introduction of the Mount Tai and brought us around. She was readily available to answer our questions and was helpful throughout the tour. The climb at the 18 bends was challenging yet satisfying. Over 3000 steps. The view at the peak was great and totally worth it. Amazing experience overall.
Overall, I like the cable car at Mount Tai, but the scenery at Mount Tai is really good. The price is not expensive, especially for the elderly, who are free or half price, which is very friendly. You don’t have to carry too many things up the mountain, and there are things for sale. I personally feel that it is not very expensive and within an acceptable range.

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 took my family to the provincial capital for a weekend getaway, and unexpectedly ran into a crowd attending Jay Chou's concert. We arrived at Baotu Spring late, so it was relatively quiet. The scenery was beautiful, with the weeping willows and spring water reflecting off each other, and the kids were delighted. The path is quite staircase-heavy and gravelly, making it less stroller-friendly. If you don't have a helper, bring a lightweight stroller.
Stepping into Baotu Spring Park feels like stepping into a natural ink painting. Three clear springs gush endlessly, like jade liquid rising into the air and snow-capped waves surging, their endless vitality awe-inspiring! Surrounding the park are exquisite pavilions and weeping willows swaying in the water, perfectly blending the grandeur of northern gardens with the graceful beauty of Jiangnan scenery. Li Qingzhao's former residence, nestled within the park, adds a touch of cultural elegance. The water is crystal clear, revealing the bottom, and koi carp swim gracefully. Watching from the railing, your heart follows the tranquility of the springs, and your worries vanish. Admire the crabapple blossoms in spring and the chrysanthemums in autumn. The misty winter air, shrouded in mist, creates a truly dreamlike scene. Jinan's soul converges here, truly the most vibrant pearl of the Qilu region!

The beauty of the Summer Palace is inexhaustible. If Beijingers use the Summer Palace as their back garden or their home garden, it will always be a topic of conversation for them. The Summer Palace is the most important gift that Empress Dowager Cixi left to future generations. It is recommended that everyone who comes to Beijing should visit the Summer Palace.
Fortunately, we chose the manual tour, which greatly enhanced the viewing experience. I must praise the tour guide Sun. He spoke fluently, had a good rhythm, and had a wide range of knowledge. He was very knowledgeable and well-informed. The whole trip was very smooth and comfortable. I will definitely ask him to come again next time. Of course, if the logo flag can be replaced, for example, to make it more conspicuous, it will be even more perfect.

The place is fantastic and memorable where everyone should visit it at least once. It’s better to visit the place in early autumn which is not too cold and not too hot. Cable cars made it very easy to go uphill and enjoy the greatness of the wall without getting too tired
Great Visit. Did Cable Car but other modes sounded fun and can be explored as well.

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.
