Badaling Great Wall
The Badaling Great Wall is renowned as one of the Nine Strategic Passes under heaven, combining majestic cliffs with picturesque greenery to form the most spectacular section of the Ming Dynasty fortifications. Living up to the Chinese saying "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true hero," this remains the premier choice for most Chinese visitors to experience the Wall. The fortress gate exhibits a trapezoidal shape, narrower on the east and wider on the west, featuring two gate towers. The eastern arch bears the inscription "Juyong Waizhen" (Frontier Town of Juyong), while the western gate displays "Beimen Suoyue" (Key to the Northern Gate). North of the fortress stretches the 12-tower Northern Wall section, while to the south lies the less crowded Southern Wall with 7 watchtowers. If time permits, we recommend exploring the Southern Wall first before tackling the more popular Northern section. ▲Walk Through Six Centuries of Golden History: A Visual Feast of Vermilion Foliage Blanketing the Great Wall ▲ As night descends, the Badaling Great Wall transforms into a gilded dragon winding through shadowed peaks, its illuminated battlements whispering tales of millennia - where imperial splendor meets enduring mystery beneath constellations of golden light. ▲Cloaked in winter's crystalline mantle, the Badaling Great Wall becomes a silver serpent coiled between snow-draped peaks, its ancient stones gilded by dawn's golden raysChina · Beijing

It is located in Dongcheng District, Beijing. The roof has three layers. The upper layer is a hip roof with vertical and horizontal intersections. It is composed of a gable roof with flowing water on two slopes and a hip roof with four slopes. Because there are nine main ridges on this roof, it is called the Nine-ridge Hall. ▲Sundials are divided into two types according to their installation principle: equatorial and horizontal. The sundial installed using the equatorial principle is called an equatorial sundial. The key points of its production are that it must have a time plate, a latitude arc and a gnomon. When operating, the time plate must be parallel to the equatorial plane of the earth, the gnomon must be in the same direction as the earth's axis, and the shadow cast by the gnomon on the gnomon is the desired time. ▲The Treasure House is located in the Ningshou Palace area.

Among them, the red coral lion about 14 cm high, the Dongzhu court beads about 130 cm long, and the gold "Fengtianzhibao" seal are all rare treasures. ▲The Clock and Watch Museum is located in the Fengxian Hall in the palace.

Laoli Lake is a must-see for its picturesque scenery. The lake's crystal-clear waters reflect the blue sky and white clouds on its mirror-like surface. The interweaving of sky, white clouds, lake, and grassland creates a breathtaking canvas! It's a quiet and uncrowded place perfect for a leisurely stroll, quiet contemplation, and solitude in the natural beauty. It's also a great place for photo opportunities, with unique cabins nestled in the lake, a flying saucer that fell on the grassland, and Nordic-style guesthouses—every shot is a breathtaking sight!

The management of the horse-drawn carriages was chaotic. When we were going down the mountain, everyone lined up at the designated parking spot, but sometimes the carriages would park very far forward, and the next time they would park very far back. As a result, people on both sides would rush forward when the carriages stopped, and none of the people who had lined up honestly got on. Their queues were in vain. At least six carriages had the same situation, and the tourists were collectively angry. As a result, the staff in charge of the carriage parking and the tourists yelled at each other and stormed off. The scenery is beautiful, so don't let the chaotic management affect everyone's mood.

Teacher Zhou, the scholar, is highly recommended! The atmosphere is amazing, with red walls and yellow tiles. Walking along the central axis, you get a strong sense of the grandeur of an ancient palace. Every photo you take will turn out great, even without filters.

I have recently visited Universal Beijing. We had an absolutely amazing time at Universal Beijing Resort! The attention to detail in each themed land is incredible — the Wizarding World of Harry Potter felt like stepping straight into the movies, and the Minion Land was a wonderful place. The rides are thrilling, the shows are spectacular, and there are so many photo spots you’ll never run out of great shots. The park is huge and you need a lot of time to see it all. Highly recommend, especially if you want to visit all places to come earlier.“Universal Beijing Resort is the best theme park with fantastic theming and a great variety of attractions. The Harry Potter area is definitely a must‑visit. It is like a fairytale. You may taste here baked pies with fruits and meat. It’s so delicious 🤤 Some people are wearing fancy dresses here. It is magnificent. There are a lot of people here but everyone can find here something special, it is unforgettable place. You should visit it one day

The tickets were good, and we were able to enter the scenic area directly. It was just a little windy, but the scenic area was still worth visiting. The glass bridge was average, but it was enough for children to play. It was a good experience to enjoy the wind and the scenery.
