I arrived at the Yanmen Pass that I had longed for. It has a long history and is magnificent. I felt the long history of Chinese culture. I climbed the Great Wall, walked from the North Gate to the South Gate, and then walked from the South Gate to the North Gate. The experience was simply too great.
Yanmen Pass was a last-minute addition to our itinerary, and it was beyond my wildest dreams. The rich history and culture made me feel like I was witnessing the heroes who guarded the pass! While it's a long section of the Great Wall, the climb wasn't too strenuous! It's definitely worth a visit, highly recommended!

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.

Taiyuan Botanical Garden: "It's absolutely stunning! Especially in the evening, when the three domed greenhouses light up, they look like giant pearls scattered along the lakeside, their reflections reflected in the water. It's so dreamy and futuristic. It's definitely a new landmark in Taiyuan, and any photo you take is a blockbuster."
"The building itself is a work of art, and its international awards are well-deserved. The flowing lines during the day and the dazzling lights at night are truly worth the experience." It's amazing, hahahaha
The Taiyuan Botanical Garden boasts a high-end, avant-garde design and is definitely worth a visit! Especially if you go at 4:30 PM to see the 5 PM acrobatic show, then see the three balls and fireflies, and finally take the elevator—it's a perfect arrangement! Perfect for families!

Daming Lake Scenic Area is really good overall, with charming scenery and attractive water. Wandering on the shore of Daming Lake, you can also experience the leisure of literati. There are Xin Qiji's poems. Xin Qiji is the most famous poet in the history of Jinan. He and Li Qingzhao are known as the two Ans of Jinan. When Xin Qiji was young, the female peak was bold and unrestrained.
Daming Lake is truly beautiful. Located in the heart of Jinan's downtown area, it covers a large area and offers stunning scenery. The most important thing is that in the summer, when the weather is good, watching the sunset here is truly a truly enjoyable experience.

If you haven't ridden the Ferris wheel, you should definitely try it! It's a must-do in Tianjin. I rode it in 2017 and thought I'd give it another try with my kids this time! Unexpectedly, the Tianjin Eye's cabin has been upgraded! We originally planned to ride the Haihe River cruise on the same day, but later realized we couldn't do both if we planned to ride it after the lights were on. Because the lines for the Ferris wheel were unpredictable, we waited for half an hour and rode for another half an hour. The Tianjin Eye is quite a distance from the cruise terminal. Luckily, I was able to schedule another cruise the next day.
"Ride" or "see"? If you don't want to queue or find the ticket price high, simply taking photos with the train from a distance and along the Haihe River is equally enjoyable. It's especially beautiful at night when lit up.
Best Time: If you want to ride, try to ride on weekdays or during the day (the night view is beautiful, but the lines are the most formidable). Be sure to check weather and operating announcements in advance.
Manage Expectations: The train primarily offers a panoramic view of the city and a sense of ceremony. Don't expect excessive luxury or thrills inside the cabin.

I didn't know about this place until I passed by and saw how busy it was, so I bought a three-day ticket. I only used it for a few hours, but it was worth it. The show was amazing. [The text then abruptly shifts topics.]
Tickets are a bit pricey, and with so many in and outs over three days, it's unlikely a three-day visit would be practically impossible for tourists. The buildings are all newly built, and it feels similar to a film and television studio. Although there are many performances throughout the day, which is probably the biggest cost, I personally think the only highlight is the iron flower show. It's small-scale and short, but still worth seeing.

It's worth a visit to experience the richness of Chinese civilization. The bronze artifacts are exquisitely crafted and the ancients were wise and intelligent. I happened to catch a free tour, and the young lady explained it very clearly and thoroughly.
1. Worth a visit, especially for history buffs.
2. There are official guided tours, ranging from 200 yuan to 280 yuan per person, and each tour covers up to 20 people. A small family can book one, or several families can join for a better value.
3. There's a restaurant on site that caters to a wide range of tastes, and for a scenic spot, you can eat well.
4. There's also a VR Oracle Bone Script Adventure, which is quite entertaining and a favorite for children.

Huangcheng Xiangfu, a 5A-level scenic spot in Jincheng, Shanxi, boasts a rich cultural heritage and distinctive architecture. It was the residence of Chen Tingjing, and Emperor Kangxi stayed there twice. The ancient buildings are hailed as "the home of northern China's foremost cultural powerhouse." The scenic area offers wonderful performances, such as "Welcoming the Emperor" and "The Eight Sounds of the Prosperous Era," and also offers special travel photography services. However, there are some issues, such as high ticket prices, overcharging within the scenic area, and unclear guide signs. Overall, it's suitable for visitors interested in history and culture, but the scenic area's management and services need improvement.
The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion, the former residence of Chen Tingjing, the imperial tutor and worthy minister of the Qing Dynasty, is a grand manor with distinctive Shanxi residential characteristics. The entire scenic area boasts meticulously arranged courtyards and a simple and elegant style, particularly the corridors, terraces, and pavilions, which embody the uniquely charming Shanxi cave-dwelling architectural style.

#So close, so beautiful! Weekend trip to Hebei# I visited Shijiazhuang in May and had the opportunity to see the large-scale live-action performance "The Assassination of Qin Shi Huang" in Longquan Ancient Town. It was truly breathtaking! The actors were completely engaged, professional, and dedicated! The well-trained war horses were majestic, and the scenes of swordplay and sabers gleamed like a true journey back to the Warring States Period. Witnessing the thrilling historical moment of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Shi Huang firsthand! Highly recommended for families! Longquan Ancient Town is a must-see!
Longquan Ancient Town: An In-Depth Experience Report on the Drama Fantasy City

III. Value for Money and Visitor Feedback
Ticket Value: A 78 yuan all-inclusive ticket includes access to several major performances and dozens of smaller performances, significantly outperforming similar attractions (such as Zhengzhou's "Only Henan" starting at 290 yuan). 38
Real Reviews: 4.3 points on Ctrip (1035 reviews). Families praised the "safety for children to run around and the cultural experience to be enjoyable." Some suggested improved parking guidance during peak season. 79
