M48***15Wanlong is also renowned in northern China. Its abundant number of slopes, impressive lengths and elevation differences, and impressive snow quality have made it a synonym for professional skiing. The resort is large, the cable cars are fast, and the crowds are quite high. It's suitable for beginners and above, with a wide selection of restaurants and comprehensive facilities. The only drawback is the high prices.

卖汽油的可乐小可I went in early November, and there were very few people, but the scenery was truly breathtaking. The direct bus from Dongzhimen Transportation Hub to the Beijing Tourist Distribution Center is easy to find and runs smoothly to and from Jinshanling.

Anonymous userThe 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.

Dina ZakariaMajor love. We went in the evening. Arrive at 1pm. No queue for chairlifts and toboggan.
4.8/5Anonymous userVery nice experience our 1st great wall of China. Need to spend a longer time there to explore all the towers. Beautiful scenery lovely day
4.7/5Anonymous userThe 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.
4.7/5Anonymous userCultural sites leave us with historical imprints, and the gilded tiles of the Little Potala Palace are awe-inspiring, highlighting the weakness of a nation that can't even protect its own treasures! The tourism regulations regarding fire prevention at the Little Potala Palace are played on repeat, and the background music during the tour is a bit unbearable. I don't understand it, but I respect it!

_ZF***93The Eight Outer Temples are actually an abbreviation for the Eight Temples Outside the Pass. Puning Temple was the first temple built by Emperor Qianlong after his ascension to the throne (Puning, as the name suggests, means "universal peace"). Putuo Zongcheng Temple was the last temple he built. This is the only one of the Eight Outer Temples managed by the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau (Lama); the others are managed by the Cultural Relics Bureau. A must-see here is the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva (the world's largest existing gilded wooden standing Buddha statue). Emperor Qianlong liked to erect steles. The steles describe the background of the temple's construction, and the steles even use puns, with money and dragon patterns carved at the bottom. I heard a story from Director Wang that made me realize Emperor Qianlong was a person of extremely high emotional intelligence. When asked if the use of Chinese characters on the back of the steles was because Chinese was considered inferior to Manchu, Qianlong replied, "No, it's precisely because the Chinese language of the Central Plains is so profound that the back is written as a backing for the Manchu script." (This is anecdotal and not even historical; just something I heard.)

熊猫小胖90This was my first time visiting the Mountain Resort during the off-season, so it wasn't crowded. The entrance fee was 90 yuan per person, but most of the money probably went to the museum. Winter comes early here, so the Mountain Resort's scenery is slightly less impressive than in other seasons. To get here, you have to pass through the museum first to reach the gardens. The scenic area has three routes, but the mountain path is inaccessible in winter, so you can only see the garden views. The park is very large; it would be quite nice with snow. Summer and autumn must be very beautiful. The entrance fee isn't cheap!
