    Thank you Ctrip for the wonderful Universal Studios day trip! It was an absolute blast, absolutely amazing! I rode the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and the Decepticon roller coaster, immersing myself in the movie world – my adrenaline was pumping! The Minions were adorable and heartwarming, Jurassic Park was breathtaking, the parade was incredibly atmospheric, and even the butterbeer was delicious! It was non-stop fun from morning till night, with no disappointments whatsoever. This was pure joy, I absolutely loved this amazing trip!

    A very cosy and chilling park. Recommend to go in the morning to take a stroll and enjoy the different venues in the park other than the three hot spots. Breathtaking building architecture and worth visiting !

    Shichahai Scenic Area in Beijing is a free tourist attraction. It's located opposite the North Gate of Beihai Park; simply cross the street after exiting the North Gate of Beihai Park to reach Shichahai. Shichahai used to be Beijing's outdoor swimming pool in the summer and an ice skating rink in the winter, as depicted in some TV dramas. The Shichahai Sports School is located nearby. Shichahai Scenic Area offers many Beijing specialties, including several long-established restaurants where visitors can sample local delicacies.

    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.

    One of the best deals! The guide Susie was the best. She wonderfully organised everything. I took the shuttle bus, wtown ticket, car cable roundtrip and the wall ticket. I think the lunch also worth its money. Basically she took everyone for the hotpot which was only 80 yuans per person, while in cafes you’ll spend at least 200 yuans for the hotpot (I spent 200 yuans for lunch: for a beef, a muller wine and fried fishsticks). The wall hike isn’t that bad as I thought, basically it is fairly easy and flat. The most struggle is climbing the wall from gate 2 to gate 10 (height difference is enormous). I would recommend to take the hike and climb up to gate 5 or gate 10 and leave on the cable car. As for Gunei it is very cool. On 7th of January it was almost empty.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Best Panoramic View of the Forbidden CityJingshan Park was a wonderful and refreshing place to visit in Beijing. The highlight is definitely the view from the top of the hill, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Forbidden City and the city skyline beyond — one of the best viewpoints in Beijing.The park itself is peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained, making it a great place to take a relaxing walk. The gardens, pavilions, and tree-lined paths are lovely, and it was nice to see locals enjoying the space, singing, exercising, and relaxing.This is an excellent spot for photos, especially on a clear day or near sunset. Highly recommended as a perfect complement to a visit to the Forbidden City.

    Nanluoguxiang, located on Gulou East Street in Beijing, is a popular spot for social media check-ins. Entering Nanluoguxiang from the north entrance of Gulou East Street, you can exit at the south entrance to reach Shichahai. Public transportation is the most convenient way to visit; parking is extremely difficult if you drive. Two to three hours is recommended for your visit. You can choose to eat in Nanluoguxiang, as there are many restaurants. Nanluoguxiang is essentially a hutong (traditional alleyway), but it's famous for its concentration of Beijing's unique cultural landmarks and trendy shops.

    [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.
