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.

The value for money was quite good. The small group of less than 15 people, the cool breeze in late September, and the short queues allowed us to see all the major caves in three hours. Our guide, Xiaoguan, was also very conscientious and detailed in his explanations. He also repeatedly checked to see if we had found the corresponding figures on the cave murals.
This is a fantastic attraction. The scenic area provides a clear explanation of the formation of the Wannian Ice Cave. Furthermore, unlike other ice caves around the world, you have to enter the cave to explore it. The cave is well-preserved, and the lighting makes it even more captivating. The only downside is that the scenic area allows dogs to enter the cave.

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 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 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.

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.

In terms of scenery, this tower is truly stunning. As for the story, it's definitely worth finding a guide to listen carefully and see the story carefully; otherwise, it's hard to understand why this tower is so famous.
The parking lot is spacious, and even during May Day, you can still get a tour guide. Although the line to enter the tower looked long, it didn't take long, and the inside is worth seeing.
The night view is wonderful. The view of the wooden pagoda from the fountain in the Qi Garden is stunning, a blend of movement and stillness. The pagoda boasts numerous plaques, including one from the Jin Dynasty. Entering through the circular doorway, you can photograph the entrance where Liang Sicheng measured the height of the pagoda's finial. Entering the first floor, besides the main Buddha with a beard, you'll also see six mural Buddhas on either side, each with its own graceful postures. The walls on both sides of the inner and outer gates are covered in murals depicting donors, guardian deities, and the precious flowers on the Buddha's robes—a variety of beautiful designs. The plaque "Eternal Town of Jincheng" holds profound meaning. Jincheng was the ancient name for Ying County. Legend has it that when King Li Keyong of Jin was born, a golden phoenix flew out of a well, giving rise to the name Jinfengcheng.

The amazing ancient buildings built on the mountain and the stunning red ancestral temples on the cliffs represent the ancient wisdom. There are no other problems except for the large crowds. You need to queue up and the number of people is limited, so you need to prepare in advance.
Good experience to climb up to the hanging temple, but the queue was too long. We waited almost 2 hours to climb up.

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.
