lovetian:“Maybe it's because it opened so early, but it doesn't live up to its reputation. Or maybe I've been in Beijing so long lately that I'm tired of it. Overall, it's just average. It has everything you need, and it's decent.”

冬日的大海:“Make an appointment to come back or not to enter! The exhibition can't be seen for three or four hours. For students, it is very helpful to look at the basement floor carefully. The exhibition upstairs can pay attention to the public account and which one you like. I must come back a few times a year. Really great, multi-faceted knowledge, only to come to know!”

老少皆宜(程世荣):“Beijing's Chaoyang Park, located west of the East Fourth Ring Road, is the largest park in the eastern part of the city. It frequently hosts children's activities and is a popular destination for residents.
The park is quieter in the winter, making it a great time to visit. To the west of Chaoyang Park is the Blue Harbor, and these two combined were once a bustling destination.
Chaoyang Park also boasts a large waterfront area, perfect for boating, and extensive green space and lawns. It's well worth a visit.”
Opening hours: 10:00-22:00 (admission ends at 21:00)
卡普多兰多苏舜钦:“No one could have predicted that Labuboo would become so popular this year. 🤣
Last year, I took my kids there and it was a great photo op. There were also performances. The only downside was that it was difficult to buy food.”
Opening hours: 09:00-17:00(Tickets available until 16:30)
木妈:“Guide Yu's lectures were excellent. Not only did I learn about the Lama Temple, but I also gained valuable insights into the true meaning of life. I also grasped the relationship between country and family. Everyone on our tour also gained something: the children sincerely prayed for wisdom, and we prayed for health. This is the reward of a cultural trip. Highly recommended!”
