    Travel Tips: Driving is recommended. The park is divided into drive-through and pedestrian sections. Drive-through visits come first, followed by pedestrian access. It's very large, so try to arrive early, and ideally, go in spring when flowers bloom. The experience is less enjoyable in winter. Transportation and Parking: Driving is recommended. After your drive-through visit, vehicles will be guided to designated parking areas, from where you can walk to the pedestrian animal exhibits. Purchasing a drive-through ticket allows you to drive into the animal exhibits, providing a completely different experience. In some areas, animals will roam the paths and invite feeding. However, please drive slowly and avoid disrupting the park's order and atmosphere.

    What a pleasant surprise! I feel like Hebei's cultural and tourism sector should really promote Longxing Temple; the inverted Guanyin statue and the revolving sutra repository are so impressive. It's just a pity that the tallest hall was under renovation when I visited 😭

    If you can't make a reservation at the National Museum of Natural History, you can buy a special exhibition ticket to enter without a reservation. The exhibition hall is very large, and it takes about 5-6 hours to see everything. Kids love it and can learn a lot of knowledge with them!

    [Qianmen Street: A Journey Through 600 Years of Beijing's Vibrant Life] "The wind at Qianmen blows through history, leaving behind only the vibrant life of the city." This is Beijing's most vivid testament. 🚩 Echoes of History in the Morning Light As the first rays of sunlight fall on the Zhengyang Bridge archway, the ruts on the bluestone pavement gleam. This was once the starting point of the central axis of the Ming and Qing imperial city, and it still retains the majestic grandeur of the "Nine-Foot Tower of Qianmen." Standing beneath the Five-Archway Gate, one can almost hear the dialogue between camel caravans and the Western-style clock tower across time. 🍜 A Century of Culinary Delight • Take a bite of the shumai with Emperor Qianlong's calligraphy at "Du Yichu," watching the master chef use chopsticks to lift the thin skin with its eighteen pleats. • Pass through the neon signs of "Dashilan," where the aroma of Wu Yutai's jasmine tea collides with Zhang Yiyuan's old Beijing popsicles. • Turning into "Xianyu Kou" (Fresh Fish Mouth), the aroma of sesame sauce at Baodu Feng and the fried liver at Tianxingju are voted by gourmets with their footsteps. Du Yichu Shaomai: A "Shaomai Restaurant" bestowed by Emperor Qianlong, the shaomai with three-delicacy filling has paper-thin wrappers, even more delicious when dipped in aged vinegar. Tianxingju Fried Liver: Garlic-flavored fried liver from a century-old shop, served with a bowl of fried dough rings for an authentic experience. Fengnian Guanchang: Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside fried sausage, drizzled with garlic sauce, a taste of childhood for old Beijingers. Mending Roubing (Meat Pie): Palm-sized meat pies burst with juice when bitten, the beef filling mixed with scallion aroma, perfect with millet porridge. Chen Ji Luzhu (Braised Pork Offal): Large intestines and lungs stewed until tender, the baked buns soaked in the broth, even more satisfying with cilantro and chili oil. Yin San Douzhi (Soybean Juice): Daring to try douzhi with fried dough rings is a true taste of Beijing, a tangy and sweet "old Beijing coffee". 🎭 The Secrets of Beijing Cuisine in the Hutongs • Wandering through the gray-walled alleyways of the "Eight Great Hutongs," the stone lions on the doorsteps still tell tales of the Peking Opera world. • In the artsy cafes of "Yangmeizhu Xiejie," flip through an old book, watching flocks of pigeons flit past a Republican-era bookstore outside the window. • At dusk, "Sanlihe Park" reflects the charm of a Jiangnan water town, with the lingering sounds of Beijing-style drum singing echoing from the reeds. 🌃 A Neon Poem in the Night As the lanterns of Quanjude light up, the tram passes by the neon-lit Republican-era post office. Before the glass windows of Qianmen Street, see the "Late Qing Dynasty Street Scene of Dashilan" recreated using AR technology; the interplay of light and shadow between ancient and modern times creates a picturesque scene. 📸 Recommended Photo Spots 📍 Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower: The best spot to frame a photo with the words "Beijing" in the background. 📍 Pageone Bookstore: The magical composition of the arrow tower and traffic flow framed by the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor. 📍 Beijing Fang: A collision of time and space between Starbucks Reserve and Quanyechang.

    The zoo has some beautiful and interesting animals, including rare species that I had never seen before. Overall, it is a good place to visit and gives you the chance to see animals you might not find elsewhere.However, during my visit, some animals such as the giraffes and the bears were not available, and I’m not sure why. There were also many empty enclosures, which I believe were due to ongoing renovations. The construction and maintenance work was noticeable and may have been slightly disturbing for both visitors and the animals.The aquarium section did not feel very well maintained, and in general, the zoo seems a bit old. That said, it still serves its purpose well. One of the main highlights is the panda — pandas are very special and mainly found in China, so seeing them makes the visit worthwhile.Overall, the zoo is suitable for solo visitors, families, and children. It’s a decent experience and worth a visit, especially if you want to see pandas.

    Mr. Fan, a top scholar from Beijing, possesses profound historical knowledge and delivers vivid and engaging lectures, recounting court anecdotes in a captivating manner. His highly interactive presentation deepened our understanding of every brick and tile of the Forbidden City, making this trip incredibly rewarding.

    Wangfujing Department Store, the prices are just for reference! You need to check in at the pedestrian street, just take the subway line 1 and get off at Wangfujing Station. If you can take the subway in Beijing, try to take the subway to save money and avoid traffic jams.
