Mr. Fan, the top scholar in Beijing, is an excellent guide at the Forbidden City. His explanations are detailed, humorous, and in standard Mandarin. They sound lively and rhythmic, and you will gain a lot from visiting the Forbidden City.
The Forbidden City Study Camp, led by Teacher Li Zhuang, was the most cost-effective activity of the four-day Beijing tour and received the best response from the children. I was impressed by Teacher Li's professional knowledge. He expressed his ideas in a humorous way that children can best understand, and his intelligent interactions with the children were also very professional. He is an excellent disseminator of Chinese traditional culture 👍👍👍, so awesome~

It is really a top international theme tourist leisure resort. Although the price is top-notch, the service and facilities are also top-notch. If you play for 2 consecutive days, you can play all the projects. But if you only have 1 day, you really need strong time planning ability, because almost all projects have queues, and popular projects can take up to 2 hours. Be mentally prepared.
I liked the park. Only the long lines ruined the experience. I recommend visiting it, both adults and children will enjoy it!

The scenery is beautiful, sooo ...
This Forbidden City study tour was fantastic. I've visited several times before, but this time I brought my niece with me. To get a deeper understanding, I signed up for the tour. This time, Mr. Xu, a top scholar in Beijing, led the group. He was very insightful, knowledgeable, and humorous. I give him a thumbs up!

Xiucai said Jiang Shangyi took us to visit Prince Gong's Mansion. The guide was professional and professional. Prince Gong's Mansion is a must-see place when visiting Beijing. It is very popular here. Under the guidance of the guide, we visited all the open attractions. The experience was great! The service was great! Highly cost-effective! Highly recommended Xiucai
During my recent stay in Beijing, Xiucai said that Jiang Shangyi's tour guide's interpretation of Prince Gong's Mansion was the most worthwhile expense I made. It can be said that the Prince Gong Mansion was brought to life. You are not visiting a dull and simple tourist attraction, but you are immersing yourself in a piece of history. Visitors feel like the protagonists wandering in it. I feel that this is what interpretation is. Xiucai will be my first choice for future travel.

Mount Tai's Winter Rime Ice Spectacular

I visited Mount Tai in August and opted for a night hike to avoid the sun. I was surprised to find that most people shared the same sentiment. I followed the group up from the Red Gate. Once I reached the South Gate, the air was shrouded in mist, as if I had truly ascended to heaven. Looking back on the climb, I had two main feelings: the heat. I didn't expect it to be this hot at night. My clothes were soaked with sweat throughout the hike. Fortunately, I had brought spare clothes with me, so I quickly changed when I felt cold at the top. Otherwise, I would have caught a cold! The second is that it feels like there are so many people coming to Mount Tai, and the whole way is crowded. Many times the person in front suddenly stopped, and the person behind would bump into his back without knowing it. If it weren’t for the walking stick, it would be really thrilling. However, most of the people who come to climb the mountain are young people, and they will subconsciously help each other no matter whether they know each other or not. Although they don’t fall, it is definitely not a pleasant feeling (I still have to sigh here, the inadvertent warmth between strangers really shows the quality. The country is getting stronger and stronger, and the quality of the people is getting higher and higher!) Finally, I hope the motherland will become more and more prosperous, and I hope everyone can see this beautiful land!
We climbed at night, so I didn't really see much of the scenery. The next day, we took the cable car down. The cable car and bus fare were more expensive than the entrance fee. Children taller than 1.2 meters (or maybe 1.4, I forgot, I'm not sure) are charged the full price. I'll do it again during the day, walking up and down.

The Temple of Heaven is much larger than I imagined. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is truly majestic and spectacular. You can't truly appreciate it without experiencing it firsthand. I highly recommend going if you haven't been!
It was definitely pollen season, but we didn't encounter any, which was fine.
The Temple of Heaven is always crowded, so be sure to go early, otherwise you'll be missing everyone.

Baotu Spring is truly beautiful. The water is incredibly clear, like jelly, and it's so refreshing! The experience would be so much better if you visited during off-season. You only have time during the peak winter and summer vacations, so visiting during the off-season allows for a leisurely and quiet experience.
This scenic spot is truly worth visiting! The moment you enter, you're surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air. The trails are well-maintained, with clear signage along the way, so you never have to worry about getting lost. The scenery at the core attractions is absolutely stunning, with pictures of the picturesque mountains and clear waters that could easily be wallpapered. Even the children in my group were delighted.
The staff were also very friendly and patiently answered my questions. The rest areas and restrooms in the scenic area were very clean. After a long walk, it was wonderful to rest in the shade and enjoy the gentle breeze. The overall experience was fantastic, and I've already put it on my list for a future visit with friends.

Beijing locals typically enter the park through the West Gate early in the morning, take a stroll or run, and exit the park by 9:00 AM. The West Causeway is relatively less crowded with tourists! Recommended: The "Plowing and Weaving Picture Scenic Area" on the West Causeway offers a breathtaking view of the three-dimensional beauty of the carvings, even through the glass windows. It's a great spot for summer lotus viewing. For those visiting from other places, after touring the West Causeway, we recommend taking a Kunming Lake cruise directly to the 17-Arch Bridge Pier. This saves time and allows you to explore the scenic spots along the East Causeway to the North Ruyi Gate. Enjoy the Huguang mountain scenery, the Bronze Bull, the Ten-Mile Art Gallery, and the Marble Boat. Those with more stamina can ascend the "Painting Tour" halfway up the mountain to the "Buddha Fragrance Pavilion." Then, descend the back hill to visit the "Harmonious Garden," and finally exit the park through the North Palace Gate.
The tour guide's explanation was detailed. You must ask for an explanation when visiting attractions in Beijing so that you can learn more about the historical stories behind them. The Summer Palace is very large, and taking a boat ride was very pleasant.

The crisp sound of bells, a sky filled with flying swallows. A glance that spans a thousand years brings tears to my eyes. The world's three greatest towers, because they are unreplicable. Current technology cannot replicate them. So, every time I see them, I see them less and less.
When my children were about to start elementary school, I took them to the beautiful Datong and then to the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, a world wonder. They learned through traveling and felt the profoundness of Chinese culture through learning.

Took a taxi from peking internatinal airport cost 180 rmb, tool one hour 10mins, perfect for a morning visit, spend three to four hours scaling up to the top of thegreat wall. great scenery but got a bit busy towads lunch time. i manged to catch a tour bus back into beijing which cost 40rmb and stops at the birds nest stadium.
We visited Mutianyu Great Wall because it was suggested as a less crowded section with beautiful scenery. We took the subway to Future Science Park Station (Line 17, 7 Yuan per person) and then a Didi Express taxi (109 Yuan) to the Mutianyu ticket office.We only purchased the entrance ticket, so we had to walk about 2.6 km before reaching the climbing area. The weather was humid with light showers, which made the walk quite uncomfortable. On the way down, we tried to buy shuttle bus tickets but had issues with WeChat payment. Fortunately, a helpful German tourist purchased the tickets for us —big thanks to him! (Ticket costs 10 Yuan one-way.) I recommend buying the entrance ticket + round-trip shuttle bus combo on Trip.com to avoid such issues.Due to the light showers, fog, and later heavy rain, we managed to climb until peak number 12. Despite the 7weather, the scenery and atmosphere were memorable, and the less crowded paths made the experience enjoyable.
