    The artificial water town is clean and tidy, but lacks cultural depth. It looks nice at first glance, but becomes uninteresting after a while. The ticket price is expensive, and the prices of food and restaurants inside are also not cheap. If it doesn't change its business strategy and continues to exploit tourists, it will be despised by tourists, and the number of tourists visiting the Simatai Great Wall will also be affected and reduced, as it will be taken away by the neighboring Jinshanling Great Wall.

    Nice place for beginners to learn how to ski although there is no snow. The service is great and everything is guided and covered end to end. There are many slopes for different levels and coach to guide beginners how to ski. Will be nice to come back in February when it is snowing.

    Super fun! The ticket price is reasonable. The scenic area is quite large, and it's absolutely gorgeous when lit up at night—even more magnificent than the Tang Dynasty itself. There are service stations everywhere, offering free hot water and tea, which is very thoughtful. The performances within the scenic area are all quite entertaining, especially the "Three Immortals Returning to the Cave" show, which is fantastic. There are also acrobatics, dances, and instrumental performances; most of them are physically demanding. There are also performances by foreign artists, and the interactive NPCs in the East Market are quite amusing. You can easily spend a lot of time there. I highly recommend watching the performances in the scenic area. There are many similar shows now, often costing two or three hundred yuan, so this place offers great value for money.

    Universal Studio Beijing is a nice and fun place to bring the kids. We went on a weekday but it’s still quite crowded. The rides were fun but the food is quite pricey. A chicken leg can cost 80rmb. The food is nice , some restaurants have to wait 75 mins..There were many nice shows to watch. We didn’t bought the express tickets cause we bought tickets for two days. Some rides took about 1 hours while some only 15 mins. The kung fu panda area is very unique and nice.

    The staff at Dingling were incredibly kind and sincere – thank you! The temperature inside the underground palace was fine, but it's always good to dress warmly if you're visiting in winter. Don't read too many of those mysterious and strange posts; our Han Chinese emperors and empresses will protect every one of us, the descendants of the Chinese nation!

    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.

    The China Science and Technology Museum is not only a paradise for children to learn, but adults can also learn a lot of knowledge. However, you must ask for explanations. Our teacher Xiao Liu is great. She has rich knowledge reserves, vivid explanations, and is very friendly to the children. I hope to hear her explanations again next time I come.
