M73***37M73***37Teacher Xu, the top student from Beijing, gave a lively and engaging explanation. The children learned a lot, and the parents listened with great interest. The three-hour tour went by very quickly, leaving us wanting more. The Forbidden City is so vast that one visit isn't enough to fully enjoy it; we'll definitely come again next time.

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.

_We***08_We***08We brought our kids here, and arrived around 8 am to queue. We were among the first to enter the park when it opened at 9 am. Once inside, we rushed straight into Jurassic Park. We went on all the rides, big and small, at Universal Studios, some of them multiple times. It's a great place to bring kids.

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!

关裕年guanyunian关裕年guanyunianBeijingers are truly blessed to have such a beautiful, world-class royal park, a cultural heritage site, allowing them to fully enjoy life. What a wonderful moment this is! Am I right, Beijingers? Wang Anshi (Song Dynasty): "Several plum blossoms by the corner of the wall, blooming alone in the cold. From afar, I know it's not snow, for there is a faint fragrance." Lu You: "I heard that plum blossoms bloom in the morning breeze, snow piled up all over the mountains. How can I transform myself into billions, one plum blossom for each Lu You?" Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty): "I have seen the winter plum blossoms, and heard the birds singing. My heart looks at the spring grass, fearing it will grow on the jade steps." Remembering the Plum Blossom (Tang Dynasty): "Firmly dwelling at the ends of the earth, lingering towards the beauty of nature. The winter plum is most hateful, always blooming like last year's flower." Reading Li Shangyin's "always blooming like last year's flower," we seem to be the winter plum blossoms we saw in the Summer Palace last year. The flowers haven't changed, but people grow old. The laws of nature are limited, only for people, not for plants, and certainly not for the winter plum blossoms, because the winter plum blossoms are immortal…

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.

Anonymous userAnonymous userThe whole place can be completed within an hour or two. But we stayed and had some meals at the level 2 restaurant just so we can see their night scenery. It was cold and having strong wind that day, hence Labubu performance was cancelled 😩
