"He who has not climbed the Great Wall is no true man." As a Chinese person, who wouldn't visit Beijing at least once? After all, it's the capital. And when you're in Beijing, who wouldn't go to the Great Wall? It's a must! The cable car takes you directly to North Seven, then you walk to the highest point, North Eight, and then take the cable car back down. You've checked off the Great Wall, and it's not tiring at all. It was a relaxing trip with my parents, very enjoyable.
We caught Beijing's first snowfall; the scenery was breathtaking, absolutely beautiful.
A word of caution: avoid the restaurant in the parking lot (Shancheng Yiguodun). They don't provide receipts, the portions are small, and the prices are high.

We had a lot of fun, but Beijing winters are really not suitable; it's too cold at night in large amusement parks! The park is great for photos, and the tickets were a great deal the day we went. However, we didn't buy speed pass tickets, so the queues were a bit long, making the experience less than ideal. If your budget allows, you should definitely buy speed pass tickets; they save time and effort, and you'll have a much better time.
Most of the movie IPs at Universal Studios were familiar to me from my childhood, so playing around the park still felt familiar. I visited during the off-season, so it wasn't crowded on the first day, but it got a bit busier on the second day with long queues. I wouldn't recommend the Hippogriff roller coaster during the day; the ride is too short and the queues are long. It's better to go up at night to see the night view. However, the weather in Beijing has been too cold lately, and being in the wind for too long can easily cause a headache. Although the ride itself wasn't particularly magical, watching the parade was still enjoyable.

Choosing a private guided tour for this Palace Museum visit was definitely worth the money. The guide's detailed and professional explanations, along with constant interaction, allowed me to truly understand the history and essence of the Palace Museum.
Snow falls on the Forbidden City, and heaven and earth write a blank sheet of paper for history.
The vermilion palace walls are covered with a blanket of white snow, transforming six hundred years of power struggles and sorrows into hazy memories.
On the glazed tiles of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, gold and white intertwine, as if time itself has been superimposed on the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The bronze lions, covered in snow, possess a touch of gentle warmth amidst their majesty; having withstood centuries of wind and frost, they remain as silent as ever.
In the Imperial Garden, withered branches are adorned with snow like jade flowers, and the artificial hills and corridors resemble pale ink paintings.
The concubines who once admired the snow are now dust, but the snow arrives as promised, falling precisely in the same places.
On the long streets in the snow, only the soft patter of falling snow can be heard—the most authentic sound of the palace—the red walls grow ever deeper, the yellow tiles ever more radiant.
As the sun sets, the Forbidden City appears like a dream in the twilight.
No wonder, the 605-year-old palace is itself a heavy snowfall, drifting through the long night of Chinese civilization.
And we, like the smallest speck of dust in the snow, are fortunate enough to witness its most silent and moving appearance.

My trip to Mount Tai was a wonderful experience, a place steeped in history. The majestic peaks bear witness to the passage of time, the ancient buildings embody cultural heritage, and the entire climb was filled with a profound historical atmosphere.
It was very convenient. The two of us bought our tickets on-site around the end of August. There weren't many people. We happened to encounter heavy fog that day, but the ferry service wasn't canceled, which felt quite lucky. We smoothly made our way to Nantianmen.

Thank you to Director Li from Xiucaishuo for the insightful explanation of Prince Gong's Mansion. I learned a great deal, and I will share this experience with my family and friends when I get home, hoping they can also experience the charm of this ancient mansion. I was also fortunate to meet Director Jiang and unexpectedly encountered snow scenery, which made me very happy. I recommend Xiucaishuo for visiting attractions.
If you're visiting Beihai Park, you can also check out Prince Gong's Mansion. The entrance fee isn't expensive, and it's a great place to explore. The mansion is quite large, and you can rent an audio guide for a more comprehensive understanding. The back garden also makes for excellent photo opportunities.

I went to Jinan in July for Xu Song's concert, and the Baotu Spring was absolutely stunning! I'm so envious of the kids in Jinan. It was the hottest time of summer, and I saw so many children playing in the water. It was so lovely! The water in Jinan is so clear and beautiful!
This is a place I visited during a layover on my way to a primary school textbook. Overall, it was alright; a large park with beautiful scenery. There are springs throughout the park, and the water is quite clean. Baotu Spring was pretty much as I imagined, with three springs bubbling upwards. Seeing it in person was quite nice. However, the ticket price of 40 yuan isn't very cost-effective.

If you are thinking of coming to Temple of Heaven, please do not hesitate to book from Trip.com. Our guide Lisa Chen was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
The Temple of Heaven Park is increasingly attracting attention, not only because of its historical connection to the harmony between humanity and nature, but also because it continuously provides spiritual healing through its natural beauty. The ancient trees and buildings silently tell tales of history, while the profusion of flowers quietly offer their beauty. It is a place full of mystery, yet also a vibrant world, making it irresistibly captivating.

A Winter Wonder | The Peach Blossoms on the West Causeway of the Summer Palace are in Bloom! On a sunny December afternoon, I took a stroll through the Summer Palace. Entering through the South Ruyi Gate, I walked slowly along the West Causeway. The lake water on both sides of the causeway was frozen with a thin layer of ice. In this dry and chilly atmosphere, surprisingly, a peach tree was in bloom. The sparse buds on the branches looked delicate and small. The fully bloomed ones had withered due to the strong winds a few days ago. Finding a perfect photo would require careful searching…
Route: South Ruyi Gate ~ Xiuyi Bridge ~ West Causeway ~ Jingming Tower ~ Jade Belt Bridge ~ Exit through the North Ruyi Gate
On 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!

Inside, there's just a pagoda and a small temple. There's not much to see, and you'll finish quickly. If you don't know the history or hire a guide, you'll essentially only see a wooden pagoda. Therefore, it's recommended to learn about the relevant history beforehand or hire a guide.
We booked discounted tickets for the children, and entry was quick and easy with just a scan-to-enter code. Seeing the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda was truly awe-inspiring; its mortise and tenon structure, standing for nearly a thousand years, is remarkably well-preserved. It's a testament to the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients.

The Hanging Temple of Hengshan Mountain in Datong, Shanxi Province, was first built in 491 AD (the 15th year of the Taihe reign of the Northern Wei Dynasty) by disciples of the Taoist master Kou Qianzhi, based on his dying wish to "reach the heavens above and sever all worldly clamor below." With a history of over 1500 years, it is the oldest existing high-altitude wooden cliff-side architectural complex in China. **Structural Features:** 27 hemlock beams are inserted into the rock face as an "aerial foundation." The wooden pillars at the bottom are merely for psychological comfort; the actual load-bearing structure relies on hidden crossbeams, achieving the "suspended" appearance.
**Reasons for its excellent preservation:** The canyon terrain reduces sunlight erosion, the mountain shelters it from floods, and the mortise and tenon structure provides strong earthquake resistance.
**Cultural significance:** One of the world's ten most dangerous architectural wonders, and the only temple where Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism coexist, reflecting the inclusiveness of diverse ancient beliefs.
**Admission is free for those over 60, but tickets are extremely difficult to obtain during peak season; remember to book your visit in advance.**
Reliable platform to book. Everything goes as planned. Highly recommended.
