M44***85M44***85My first experience listening to Mr. Fan, the top scholar from Beijing, was a wonderful surprise! His explanations were professional, engaging, and he patiently answered all the questions from the visitors. I hope to have the opportunity to book another explanation from Mr. Fan in the future.

卡皮巴拉游世界卡皮巴拉游世界"He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true man," goes the saying. It's a great patriotic education destination for families, especially during the crisp autumn season. Transportation is convenient, and facilities are comprehensive. For families with children, I recommend taking the cable car and then walking to the watchtower.

zhn***88zhn***88I'd seen Harry Potter before and wanted to check out Universal Studios. The park is huge; you can basically see everything in 1.5 days. The lines are really long. Some of the rides are quite impressive and realistic. The first row of the roller coaster is really thrilling. The WaterWorld show is also great. The Three Broomsticks ride is only good for taking pictures. The food is really expensive and not very tasty, and the drinks are bad too. I wouldn't want to go back after trying it. Overall, Universal Studios is okay, with a great atmosphere, but the food, beer, and drinks are just average. If you're going to Universal, bring your own food; there's no need to eat the food inside.

切雷舍夫切雷舍夫Xiucai Shuo (a popular online forum) recommends Jiang Shangyi's professional and engaging explanations, which helped us rediscover history and learn about ancient architecture. Her explanations were like a warm winter sun, making the trip worthwhile. Highly recommended!

中西南北东中西南北东My advice for anyone visiting Beijing is to definitely visit the Temple of Heaven. A masterpiece of Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, the Temple of Heaven is the world's largest sacrificial complex and a testament to the pinnacle of ancient Chinese architecture. In 1961, the State Council designated it a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit. In 1998, UNESCO recognized it as a World Heritage Site. When you stand in the center of the Circular Mound Altar and clap your hands, hearing the echoes resonating like celestial music, you'll understand: the Temple of Heaven is not only an architectural museum, but also an eternal altar for the Chinese nation to engage in dialogue with nature. Every brick and tile here speaks of reverence—a profound expression of humanity's love for heaven and earth.

Anonymous userAnonymous userOn my first trip to Beijing, I made a reservation for the Forbidden City. I happened to meet Teacher Fan on Ctrip who was giving a guided tour of the Forbidden City. It was great! It's 30% sightseeing and 70% listening. Let Teacher Fan take you through the ancient palace that has been around for more than 600 years and give you an in-depth experience of China's history and culture!

Karlos88Karlos88Very well worth a visit BUT can be a pain in the butt to get tickets as they have low support for foreigners passports, English and need to use Wechat Mini Apps. Best and easiest way to get tickets as a foreigner is via Trip.com when they do tickets, sometimes they just point you to wechat mini app. In which case, not much you can do. There is a real crown in the basement which people line up to take photos of and was a crazy highlight of the visit. As well as artefacts from when New China was established. The signage and closure of many exhibits was a bit disappointing though, especially when you travelled far and wide. This is my experience from late Nov:Exhibit 2 is paid/non general exhibits Closed exhibits:1, 3, 4, 6, 10Open exhibits:7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19 Seems like No 5 and 10 don't exist?B1 is where all ancient china is, signage not that clear. Enter on ground, and go down escalators. This is where you'll find the crown at the end of the exhibit.

想做梦的猫ws想做梦的猫wsThis chartered car tour was an absolute gem! The driver arrived at the agreed-upon location 10 minutes early, the car was spotless and odorless, the seats were spacious and comfortable, and even charging ports and complimentary bottled water were provided. His driving skills were superb; he handled mountain roads and highways smoothly and steadily, even proactively avoiding congested areas. Throughout the trip, he patiently explained the local customs and culture, recommending authentic and affordable hidden gem restaurants. He completely respected our pace, allowing ample time at attractions, and there was absolutely no hard selling – he was as considerate as a friend. The pick-up and drop-off process was simple and convenient, and the pricing was transparent with no hidden fees. I'll definitely choose this company again next time!

老少皆宜()老少皆宜()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.
