The Badaling Great Wall, a giant dragon winding across the mountaintop, is magnificent! Climb it and experience a thousand years of history and the spirit of China. Every step is a breathtaking burst of national pride.
One of the Eight Wonders of the World, it is more famous than it actually is and a must-see attraction in Beijing. If you take the cable car, you can complete the tour in 2 hours. It is crowded during holidays, so it is recommended to queue up early in the morning.

The all-inclusive ticket for the Huanghuagou Valley of the Huitengxile Grassland offers a pleasant overall experience. It includes various transportation options, including cable cars, trains, and sightseeing buses, saving time and effort and making it a relaxing experience. The newly added grass skiing and glass plank rafting activities add to the excitement. Grass skiing offers a thrilling feel, perfect for adventurous travelers; while glass plank rafting combines aerial views with water fun, offering both thrills and a refreshing cooldown, making it especially suitable for summer.
Overall, the all-inclusive ticket offers a good value for money, allowing you to experience the vast tranquility of the grassland while experiencing exciting recreational activities. It's suitable for families, friends, or couples. If you have more time, we recommend planning a full day to slowly savor the natural scenery and the special activities.
We were traveling with our elderly and children, so we bought the free-travel package. We arrived at the North Gate around 10:00 AM. While there was a long line for Cable Car No. 1, there was no waiting for other transportation. This proved to be very helpful, as it didn't tire the elderly or children. We arrived at the South Gate at 2:00 AM just in time for the show "Meeting at the Aobao." It was fantastic, with great choreography and lighting, though it was a bit hot with so many people. The entire scenic area is easy to navigate, and there are plenty of restrooms. Since we were in Ulanqab, it was definitely worth a visit.

It's worth a visit to experience the animals up close 🦓; you must take the small train and experience the bus in the wild animal area 🚍; it's best to go early with children during the summer vacation, otherwise you have to queue up and it's hot, and there's not enough time!
This was my second time there. Although it rained, the weather was exceptionally cool, and the park wasn't crowded. Aside from the wild animal area and the train, which each had queues of 20-30 minutes, other areas were relatively quiet. The animals also came out to enjoy the cool air, and I saw every animal I wanted to see. I felt incredibly lucky. There was a cute little white tiger waiting for the train.

I went to the zoo in the morning. The panda house was on the right hand side as soon as I entered. The panda house required a separate ticket of 5 yuan. I had to queue up separately for the Xizhimen San Taizi. After watching for 5 minutes, the crowd cleared and the next person came to visit. If Menglan went back to the house, they would not let you in. Many people brought selfie sticks. The glass of the zoo is very reflective, so it was better to use a selfie stick away from the glass. In fact, as long as Menglan came out, the queue was quite fast. I happened to catch up with the bamboo eating in the morning and saw several pandas eating bamboo.
Beijing Zoo is an urban oasis full of charm and historical heritage. It was built in 1906 and has witnessed the changes of the times over the past 100 years. There are many kinds of animals here, including cute giant pandas, majestic lions and tigers, elegant giraffes, smart birds, etc. About 500 rare animals have made their home here, which is eye-opening. The layout of the park is reasonable, and each venue is carefully designed. The unique mountain structure of the Lion and Tiger Mountain and the bamboo forest surrounding the Panda Pavilion are all impressive. In addition to watching animals, this is also an important base for popular science education, which allows tourists, especially children, to understand animal habits and protection knowledge. The environment in the park is beautiful, with green trees and shades, and the ancient buildings and natural landscapes complement each other. Although some facilities are slightly old, it does not affect its unique charm at all. It is an excellent place for parent-child travel and animal lovers, and an important window to showcase the style of the capital and the image of China.

Of the nine fortresses in China, Yanmen Pass is the most prominent! This battleground between nomadic and agricultural lands holds greater cultural significance than scenic beauty, and a 1-2 hour visit is all you need. However, summer is incredibly crowded, with traffic jams stretching 6.7 kilometers into the scenic area, taking less than an hour. The 2-kilometer shuttle from the visitor center to the entrance took another 40 minutes.
The Yanmen Pass scenic area is generally good, with a good sanitary environment. The Great Wall is majestic. You can see the panoramic view of the Great Wall from the northwest beacon tower. The words on the gates of natural danger and geographical advantage were all created by Wu Zetian.

I’ll be honest — I wasn’t a huge fan of Labubu before visiting POP LAND, but I ended up having such a great time! The whole place is super colorful, playful, and well-designed — it really pulls you into the world of these characters, even if you don’t know much about them.There are lots of interactive zones and aesthetic spots perfect for taking photos 📸, plus limited-edition merch everywhere. I thought I’d just walk through quickly… but I left with bags full of cute things I didn’t know I needed 😂.If you’re in the area — whether you’re a fan or just curious — it’s 100% worth a visit. A really fun experience overall!
The park's staff were highly qualified and enthusiastic. The actors were very dedicated. Despite the scorching heat outside, the actors, dressed in warm costumes, interacted with the audience, drawing us into the animated scenes. All worries vanished upon entering the park. The food was delicious and I couldn't leave. The only regret was that the park was still undergoing renovations and wasn't fully open. We also visited in the afternoon, and were unable to purchase some of the souvenirs we wanted. My children were a little disappointed. I'll definitely be back once the renovations are complete. I hope the food supply will be more plentiful in the future.

Overall Experience:
1. The venue is incredibly technological, with thoughtfully designed exhibits and a wide variety of them, offering both educational and playful content.
2. The venue is incredibly spacious. The main exhibition hall alone spans four floors, each with 2-4 halls. Each hall boasts an estimated 20-50 exhibits. While not every exhibit is enjoyable, even casually wandering around is incredibly tiring and time-consuming. Children can easily wander off, so it's recommended that they bring a smartwatch or have their parents supervise them closely.
3. There are virtually no resting areas within the venue, with adults and children sitting on the floor everywhere. Fortunately, the venue is clean, so you can sit anywhere without worrying about it.
4. It's incredibly crowded.
The explanation was detailed. As adults, we learned a lot of knowledge. The China Science and Technology Museum is very worth visiting for adults and children. Through the study activities, we can fully understand the relevant knowledge without making a strategy.

The three domed greenhouses, designed with wooden domes and glass curtain walls, have won international architectural awards, including the Aladdin Prize. Their nighttime lighting creates a sci-fi aesthetic.
The Botanical Science Museum features seven themed exhibition areas and 118 independently produced educational videos showcasing plant evolution, intelligence, and the distribution of native Shanxi vegetation.
The fireflies are housed in a curved, floor-to-ceiling glass cabinet in the middle of a room, covered by a curtain. When the time comes, the lights go out and the curtain automatically opens, allowing you to see dozens of fireflies flitting around. It's a great experience for children. Cell phones are not allowed.

It was a very shocking performance, loved by both adults and children. It allowed us to understand Mongolian culture and the importance of horses to the Mongolians. The actors all had unique skills and the horses were very cooperative, especially the many young actors, whose horsemanship was amazing and very impressive.
Transportation:
We drove from Dazhao Temple to the Eternal Horse Song, about a 40-minute drive. If you arrive in Hohhot early on your first day, you can see the 3:00 PM or 8:00 PM performance and visit the Chi Le Chuan Grassland.
Or, on your last day, explore the city first, then see the 3:00 PM performance, visit the Chi Le Chuan Grassland, and then head to the airport, which is about a 20-minute drive.
Performance:
Based on Mongolian history and culture, this performance tells the story of a herder's son and his lifelong companionship with horses, showcasing the spirit and culture of this nomadic people.
The performance is narrative, at times grand and sometimes heartwarming. It might be a little difficult for children to sit still, as there are many gentle moments in the story that may be a bit dull for younger viewers. The entire story is 70 minutes long, and the introduction to various horse breeds takes 5-10 minutes.
If you want to experience Mongolian history and culture, this is a recommended visit.
If you want to buy a ticket, buy the 480 yuan ticket for a better experience.

鸟巢已经开始了新的身份，它不仅仅是二零零八奥运会开幕式的纪念地，它已经变成北京新的打卡景点 ，水立方经过变身也可以说是人们蜂拥而至的健身场所 ，鸟巢北顶孃孃庙变成神秘莫测的古代庙宇，奥林匹克森林公园与奥林匹克塔，变成了解北京的重要建筑。
Amazing visit! I have learnt a lot of stadium design, history, prop from opening ceremony and the most bonus is I enjoy exploring on roof
