The scholar said that tour guide Li Donghua's explanations were so vivid and engaging that it made the audience feel as if they were actually there! The experience was excellent, and it sparked a strong interest in history in me. I'm very grateful to Mr. Li.
The tour guide Su Su from the "Scholar's Says" group is highly recommended. A visit to the Forbidden City is unforgettable; nothing compares to the awe-inspiring first sight. Push open a door, and you're transported to two dynasties and thirty-six hundred years of history. Who can truly understand the Forbidden City's past? The palace remains vibrant and beautiful, its vermilion gates and golden halls dazzling the eye. A thousand turns and twists eventually come to an end. Su Su from the "Scholar's Says" group is especially recommended. She lives up to her reputation; she's incredibly professional. One day, I will definitely see the Forbidden City covered in snow from its summit. The tour guide Su Su from the "Scholar's Says" group is highly recommended.

We did most of the major attractions, it was a really fun day 🥰 The Christmas decorations were beautiful and created a great atmosphere. The only downside was that things inside were quite expensive; food and souvenirs weren't cheap either.
The overall experience at Universal Studios Beijing was fantastic. The rides were thrilling and fun, the shows were top-notch, the effects were stunning, and the technology was amazing. The staff were very attentive and patient, taking great care of visitors. Whether you're enjoying the rides or watching the shows, it's definitely worth a visit.

The Great Wall itself is magnificent, but the scenery is somewhat lacking in winter, and the cold and windy weather makes the experience even worse. However, as a place of spiritual significance, it is still worth a visit.
Buying VIP tickets during peak season is a great deal, as it saves a lot of queuing time. There are dedicated lounges, complimentary photo opportunities and creative ice cream, and you can use the VIP lane throughout the entire trip. You also get priority boarding the cable car. We easily and quickly got to the Great Wall.

Highly recommended! The room was clean and tidy, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the soundproofing was excellent. After a long day, I slept wonderfully without any noise. I'll definitely stay here again next time.
My first challenge after dieting: a 9-hour hike up and down, burning the calories of 6 sausages.
Although I didn't see the sunrise, the scenery was absolutely stunning; I highly recommend seeing it for yourself.

Winter is a great time to visit as there is no crowd. Enjoy the street food and the historical mansion of prince gong. Took about 3 hours in there. Station is BeiHaiBei station and 5 mins walk to the mansion
Stepping into Prince Gong's Mansion is like stepping into a long scroll depicting the rise and fall of Qing Dynasty princely residences. This mansion, once the residence of Heshen and later Prince Qing Yikuang, possesses both the grandeur of imperial gardens and the exquisite craftsmanship of Jiangnan courtyards; every brick and tile exudes a sense of history.
The mansion is divided into the residence itself and the garden. The Yin'an Hall in the central axis of the residence is solemn and majestic, with vermilion pillars and gilded decorations, offering glimpses of the grand banquets once held there. The Duofuxuan and Ledaotang in the eastern axis feature intricately carved wooden windows and powerful calligraphy on plaques, exuding a refined scholarly atmosphere. Most breathtaking is the Xijinzhai in the western axis, with its exquisitely crafted carvings of golden nanmu wood. It is said that Heshen's misuse of this royal wood ultimately led to his downfall.
The rear garden is even more ingeniously designed. A winding corridor meanders around the pond, its walls adorned with numerous "福" (fortune/blessing) character steles, each possessing its own unique charm. Hidden among the artificial hills and rocks are secret passages, leading to a panoramic view of the entire garden from the summit. The pond, named "Bat Pond" for its bat-like shape, subtly conveys the wish for "receiving good fortune," showcasing the wisdom of the ancients.
Strolling through the garden, one can appreciate the elegance of the pavilions and towers while also savoring the weight of history. Compared to the grandeur of the Forbidden City, Prince Gong's Mansion possesses a more down-to-earth atmosphere, making it an excellent place to experience the culture of Qing Dynasty princely residences.

The room was spacious and bright, very nice, and clean. Customer service was responsive and attentive. The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the high-speed rail station, making travel incredibly convenient!
Overall, it was pretty good. I thought that going in mid-December would mean the garden wouldn't be very green anymore, but it was still quite nice. The spring water was clear, and strolling around the garden was very pleasant. I also visited the Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall. My main purpose was to eat, so I didn't have high expectations for the attractions, but I still found it quite enjoyable.

The Temple of Heaven's ticket does indeed bear the words "Ticket," and below it is a photo of the Temple of Heaven's three gates, thus making it a true ticket.
The Temple of Heaven is arguably the largest park in southern Beijing. While some suburban parks are now large, I'm referring to historical parks. Because it was where emperors worshipped Heaven and prayed for favorable weather, this park is the most sacred and architecturally exquisite.
Because Beijing's north-south division is based on Chang'an Avenue (east-west), and the former imperial palace was located north of Chang'an Avenue, many temples, parks, and memorial sites are scattered throughout northern Beijing. Therefore, compared to Beijing's layout, most visitors now focus on the north, often overlooking the Temple of Heaven in the south. There are many buses to the Temple of Heaven, making it easily accessible. In fact, the Temple of Heaven is not far from Qianmen Dashilan in Beijing; it's almost within walking distance.
Visiting the Temple of Heaven (天坛) in Beijing is a deeply enriching experience that blends history, architecture, and traditional Chinese philosophy. Built during the Ming Dynasty, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was where emperors once came to pray for good harvests, believing they were the “Sons of Heaven” responsible for maintaining harmony between heaven and earth.The most iconic structure here is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (祈年殿), with its striking blue-tiled roof and perfectly symmetrical design. What’s fascinating is that the entire structure was built without a single nail, showcasing the incredible craftsmanship of ancient Chinese builders. Walking through the vast park grounds, you’ll also notice locals practicing tai chi, singing, or simply enjoying the open space, which adds a living, cultural dimension to the visit.The atmosphere is peaceful and spacious, a pleasant break from Beijing’s busy streets. Whether you’re interested in Chinese history, arch

A Winter Wonder | The Peach Blossoms on the West Causeway of the Summer Palace are in Bloom! On a sunny December afternoon, I took a stroll through the Summer Palace. Entering through the South Ruyi Gate, I walked slowly along the West Causeway. The lake water on both sides of the causeway was frozen with a thin layer of ice. In this dry and chilly atmosphere, surprisingly, a peach tree was in bloom. The sparse buds on the branches looked delicate and small. The fully bloomed ones had withered due to the strong winds a few days ago. Finding a perfect photo would require careful searching…

Inside, there's just a pagoda and a small temple. There's not much to see, and you'll finish quickly. If you don't know the history or hire a guide, you'll essentially only see a wooden pagoda. Therefore, it's recommended to learn about the relevant history beforehand or hire a guide.
We booked discounted tickets for the children, and entry was quick and easy with just a scan-to-enter code. Seeing the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda was truly awe-inspiring; its mortise and tenon structure, standing for nearly a thousand years, is remarkably well-preserved. It's a testament to the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients.

The Hanging Temple of Hengshan Mountain in Datong, Shanxi Province, was first built in 491 AD (the 15th year of the Taihe reign of the Northern Wei Dynasty) by disciples of the Taoist master Kou Qianzhi, based on his dying wish to "reach the heavens above and sever all worldly clamor below." With a history of over 1500 years, it is the oldest existing high-altitude wooden cliff-side architectural complex in China. **Structural Features:** 27 hemlock beams are inserted into the rock face as an "aerial foundation." The wooden pillars at the bottom are merely for psychological comfort; the actual load-bearing structure relies on hidden crossbeams, achieving the "suspended" appearance.
**Reasons for its excellent preservation:** The canyon terrain reduces sunlight erosion, the mountain shelters it from floods, and the mortise and tenon structure provides strong earthquake resistance.
**Cultural significance:** One of the world's ten most dangerous architectural wonders, and the only temple where Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism coexist, reflecting the inclusiveness of diverse ancient beliefs.
**Admission is free for those over 60, but tickets are extremely difficult to obtain during peak season; remember to book your visit in advance.**
Reliable platform to book. Everything goes as planned. Highly recommended.
