卡皮巴拉游世界"He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true man," goes the saying. It's a great patriotic education destination for families, especially during the crisp autumn season. Transportation is convenient, and facilities are comprehensive. For families with children, I recommend taking the cable car and then walking to the watchtower.

M70***18The details were handled exceptionally well, and the kids had a blast. It wasn't too crowded on Monday, so there was no need to buy a U-Pass. The attractions were very fun, and you should definitely visit when you're in Beijing. It's best to avoid peak hours though.

132***83The scholar said that Jiang Shangyi's explanation of Prince Gong's Mansion made it clear that the mansion witnessed the Qing Dynasty's rise and fall, hence the saying, "One Prince Gong's Mansion, half the history of the Qing Dynasty." Jiang's explanation was captivating. Highly recommended!

真诚75771. Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests Highlights: The iconic building of the Temple of Heaven, the site of imperial sacrifices during the Ming Dynasty. A three-story circular hall with blue tiles and a golden roof, its 28 golden pillars symbolize the four seasons, months, and hours. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests closes at 6 PM and can only be viewed from outside the palace walls. The red wall behind the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (vermilion door frame paired with a blue roof) Fun Fact: The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests has no horizontal beams; it is entirely supported by mortise and tenon joints, showcasing the wisdom of ancient architecture. 2. Echo Wall and Imperial Vault of Heaven Echo Wall: The wall has a regular curve and a smooth surface. Two people whispering against the wall could transmit their voices (now fenced off, conversations at ground markers still work). Three-Echo Stone: Speaking while standing on the stone slabs in front of the hall will produce 1-3 echoes, experiencing the wonder of acoustics. How to Play: Stand at opposite ends of the wall with a companion to test the sound transmission effect, or count the fan-shaped stone slabs on the altar surface (all are multiples of 9, subtly alluding to the "supreme ruler"). 3. Circular Mound Altar Highlight: The core site of the emperor's sacrificial ceremony to Heaven. The central stone, where a shout is made, produces an extremely loud echo (anciently known as the "Sound Connecting Heaven"). Hidden Activity: At noon on the winter solstice, the sunlight precisely penetrates all the railings, showcasing ancient astronomical wisdom. 4. Danbi Bridge Highlight: The "Sea-Paved Avenue" connecting the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and the Circular Mound Altar, 360 meters long and 30 meters wide, symbolizing "heaven is high and earth is low." 5. Fasting Palace and Divine Music Bureau Fasting Palace: The "mini Forbidden City" where the emperor resided before sacrificial rites. With red walls and green pines and cypresses, it is free to enter and offers beautiful scenery with few crowds. Divine Music Bureau: The ancient venue for rehearsing sacrificial music, offering insights into ancient musical culture.

飞来滚去的少年- The scenery is absolutely stunning: the shimmering waves of Kunming Lake paired with the pavilions of Longevity Hill, especially the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, is breathtakingly beautiful at sunset when the golden light shines through the arches. Every shot is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese style. 📸 - A tip for exploring: It's recommended to enter from the East Palace Gate (closer to the main attractions). Don't try to see everything at once! Focus on the Long Corridor, the Tower of Buddhist Incense, and the Marble Boat area, otherwise your legs will "protest." - A small reminder: It gets really crowded on weekends. If you want to take some quiet photos, either go early or walk towards the West Causeway for a different kind of tranquil lake view. - Summary: The grandeur of a royal garden combined with the delicacy of a Jiangnan garden makes even a casual stroll and a gentle breeze a truly relaxing experience. It's a must-see "healing" attraction in Beijing!

Karlos88Very well worth a visit BUT can be a pain in the butt to get tickets as they have low support for foreigners passports, English and need to use Wechat Mini Apps. Best and easiest way to get tickets as a foreigner is via Trip.com when they do tickets, sometimes they just point you to wechat mini app. In which case, not much you can do. There is a real crown in the basement which people line up to take photos of and was a crazy highlight of the visit. As well as artefacts from when New China was established. The signage and closure of many exhibits was a bit disappointing though, especially when you travelled far and wide. This is my experience from late Nov:Exhibit 2 is paid/non general exhibits Closed exhibits:1, 3, 4, 6, 10Open exhibits:7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19 Seems like No 5 and 10 don't exist?B1 is where all ancient china is, signage not that clear. Enter on ground, and go down escalators. This is where you'll find the crown at the end of the exhibit.

爱兔兔的蛙蛙Looking at the cats on the Great Wall, and revisiting Mutianyu, it was still late autumn, but my child, now over five, was able to climb with me all the way to the top. It was good exercise, and it also strengthened our parent-child bond.

老少皆宜（程世荣）Chaoyang Park in Beijing is located on the North Fourth Ring Road in East China. It's a large park built on a puddle of land. Chaoyang Park is quite extensive and features a large lake. Chaoyang Park frequently hosts various events, and the surrounding area boasts comprehensive facilities. To the west of the park is the Blue Harbor commercial street, which is very lively in the evenings. This park is especially suitable for families with children; many parents bring their kids to Chaoyang Park to relax on weekends.

朵朵麻麻818You can drive up and feed the animals; the larger animals will even scratch at your car windows for food – it's a truly immersive experience! The zoo has a wide variety of animals, enough to keep you entertained for a whole day. However, it gets very crowded on weekends, so you need to leave early. Overall, it's more fun than a typical zoo that just involves walking around, and it's perfect for bringing children.
