The Forbidden City, also known as the Imperial Palace, was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is also the symbol of ancient China. When you are in the majestic and orderly high walls and deep courtyards, you can truly feel its former glory. ▲The long history has left behind large-scale precious buildings and countless cultural relics, which have also become the main attraction of visiting the Forbidden City today. ▲Classic attractions: The Forbidden City Corner Tower is a polygonal building with a convex plane on all four sides. 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. It has a rich collection of treasures, including Buddhist supplies, ornaments, daily utensils, and treasures for appreciation. 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. Most of the clocks on display are British products, but there are also clocks from other countries such as France and Switzerland. In addition to the timing function, these clocks are decorated with figures, birds, beasts, flowers, etc., which can also make various different movements. They are very delicately made. Among them, the copper-plated gilded writing clock, the copper-plated gilded enamel gourd-top fishing and woodcutting farming clock, and the copper-plated gilded rotating flower running man rhinoceros carrying clock are very rare.

The Badaling Great Wall is a highly representative section of the Ming Great Wall, located in Yanqing, Beijing, north of Juyong Pass. Since ancient times, it has been a strategic military location guarding the northwestern passage to the capital. The pass city is trapezoidal in shape, narrow in the east and wide in the west, with two gates, east and west. The east gate bears the inscription "Juyong Outer Town," and the west gate bears the inscription "Key to the North Gate." Both inscriptions remain clearly legible to this day. Extending north from the pass is the North Wall, along which more than ten watchtowers are distributed; to the south is the South Wall, which has fewer watchtowers. North Tower 8 is the highest point of the entire section, at over 1,000 meters above sea level, and from its top you can overlook the magnificent sweep of the wall winding along the mountain ridges. The North Wall has higher terrain and steeper slopes with open views, and is the main route for most visitors; the South Wall is relatively gentle and less crowded, making it suitable for visitors who want to take photos at a relaxed pace and avoid the crowds. If time permits, walking the South Wall first and then the North Wall is a more leisurely arrangement. Badaling Great Wall is also one of the earlier sections of the wall opened to the public. The top surface of the wall is paved with square bricks, and the widest parts can accommodate five horses walking side by side. Defensive structures such as battlements and arrow holes are well preserved, and walking along it gives a direct sense of the construction standards of Ming Dynasty border defense works. In fall, layers of red leaves on the mountains contrast beautifully with the gray brick wall, making it a season that many photography enthusiasts travel specifically to capture. ▲Travel through 600 years of gilded splendor and encounter the visual shock of crimson red leaves blanketing the mountains ▲nightAs night falls, it winds through the mountains like a brilliant golden dragon, and the ancient city wall illuminated by lights tells of the glory and mystery of a thousand years of history ▲ In winter, the Badaling Great Wall, covered in pristine white snow, winds through the mountains like a silver dragon. The golden light of dawn spills across the wall, painting a tranquil and magnificent picture.

National Museum of China

The National Museum of China is located on the east side of Tiananmen Square and was formed by merging the former Museum of Chinese History and the Museum of the Chinese Revolution. The building is one of the ten great structures built for the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1959. The museum holds over 1.4 million items, covering categories such as ancient artifacts, modern and contemporary artifacts, rare books and ancient texts, and artworks, among which the number of Grade One cultural relics is substantial. The three permanent exhibitions are the core of any visit. The "Ancient China" exhibition, located in the basement-level galleries, follows the succession of dynasties and is divided into eight sections from remote antiquity to the Ming and Qing dynasties, displaying heavyweight artifacts such as the painted pottery basin with human-face and fish design, the four-ram zun vessel, the Houmuwu ding, the drum-beating storyteller figurine, and the jade burial suit sewn with gold thread, several of which are listed as cultural relics prohibited from being exhibited abroad; this exhibition is also the most artifact-dense area in the museum and is worth spending time examining closely. The "Road to Rejuvenation" and "Road to Rejuvenation: New Era" exhibitions, located in the northern galleries, review the Chinese nation's journey of rejuvenation since the Opium War of 1840, with exhibits including the oil painting The Founding Ceremony of the Nation and the Shenzhou 5 return capsule, among other landmark artifacts. In addition to the permanent exhibitions, the museum regularly hosts thematic exhibitions on ancient Chinese Buddhist statues, coins, porcelain, and painting and calligraphy, and periodically presents special exhibitions and international exchange exhibitions covering history and culture, archaeological discoveries, and classic fine art. With numerous galleries spread across multiple floors, visitors are advised to plan their route in advance and allow ample time.

This scenic area is pretty good; it's a good place to bring kids. There are mountains and water, and children can catch small fish and shrimp. However, you'll need some stamina to see the whole thing. 😄

Tanpu Gorge, formerly known as Dashiyu Scenic Area, is located in the northern part of Tang County, Baoding City, adjacent to Laiyuan County. It is not only a 4A-level scenic area but also a secluded and cool summer retreat, suitable for families, couples, groups of friends, team building activities, and camping.

The guide was exceptionally professional, telling stories in language children could understand. The mythical beasts on the roof ridges and the historical anecdotes of the palaces were all vividly and engagingly presented, never boring. The pacing was excellent, explaining as we walked, attentive to the children, and patiently answering all their questions. Originally, we just wanted to visit the Forbidden City and take some photos, but after the guided tour, we truly understood the history behind the red walls—a very rewarding experience! Highly recommended!

Finally, we arrived at Universal Studios Beijing, embarking on a magical journey through movies and fairy tales. Here, all the fatigue of adults was healed. Although the whole day was rushed and packed with activities, we gained a wealth of joy and relaxation. After entering the park, we immersed ourselves in the various themed areas. Every scene was a highly realistic recreation of a movie, creating a truly immersive experience. Our first stop was the Transformers base, with its cool mecha style and immersive atmosphere. The 4D effects of the AllSpark battle were incredibly realistic and breathtaking, making us feel like we were on a sci-fi battlefield – thrilling and exhilarating. For the brave, we tried the Decepticon roller coaster, where the high-speed launch and flips provided ultimate stress relief, instantly washing away all our worries. Next, we entered Jurassic World. The prehistoric jungle was incredibly realistic, and the Jurassic Adventure ride vividly recreated the dinosaur world. Lifelike dinosaurs seemed to come right up to us – thrilling and fun. The gentler Soaring Over Jurassic offered a panoramic view of the entire park, a truly soothing and relaxing experience. The most anticipated part of the day was the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The ancient Hogwarts Castle and the retro streets of Hogsmeade Village perfectly recreate scenes from the movies. The Forbidden Journey offers an immersive magical adventure with stunning and realistic special effects, fulfilling a long-held magical dream. Unlock magical spots along the street with an interactive wand, paired with a classic Butterbeer for an unforgettable experience. In the afternoon, stroll through the adorable Minions Land. The pastel-colored buildings are cute and soothing, and the Minions' antics are lighthearted and fun, full of childlike wonder. The Kung Fu Panda area, with its traditional Chinese style, is elegant and tranquil, perfect for relaxation and experiencing the unique charm of Chinese fairy tales. The evening parade is lively and grand, with enthusiastic performers creating a joyful atmosphere that infects everyone. As night falls, the Hogwarts Castle light show is dazzling and dreamlike, with flowing light and shadow that amazes the audience. A day trip is short yet fulfilling. Universal Studios is more than just an amusement park; it's a gentle haven to escape the mundane. Here, we can temporarily let go of our stress and be carefree again. This passionate and romantic journey has filled me with energy and become a precious and beautiful memory in my life.

I almost turned into a popsicle because I arrived too early. My honest advice is to not go in November. Despite all of the above the expierce alone tops anything I have done in my life. I was in awe even after leaving the Great Wall. Once you get your barcode entry is a walk in the park. I only picked Badaling due to accessibility and nothing else.

In the past, I would always advise people that if they went to Dingzhou, they absolutely had to visit the Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda. However, with the price increase, I now suggest that if you have the time, you might as well skip entering the scenic area and just check the numbered areas in the square. After all, getting up the pagoda is quite difficult.

Xiushuiyu Scenic Area is located in Nanshanggou Village, Daomaguan Township, Tang County, Baoding, 4 kilometers away from Baolai Highway, 82 kilometers away from Tang County, and 37 kilometers away from Laiyuan, Liangcheng. The total area of ​​Xiushuiyu Scenic Area is 10 square kilometers. More than a dozen valleys form a pine forest of 10,000 mu, which is lush and green. There are many kinds of Chinese herbal medicines growing in the pine forest. Especially in summer, the lush pine forest is full of fragrant pine mushrooms. It is really interesting to be in the cool shade of the pine trees, picking pine mushrooms and digging wild vegetables. Due to the dense forests, there is plenty of water here. In the valleys, springs are dinging and streams are flowing continuously. Drinking a sip of mountain spring water is refreshing and refreshing. A breeze blew, and a faint floral fragrance came, which was as light as jasmine, and seemed to be mixed with the taste of the mountain. Occasionally, a few lilacs flashed in the weeds, so bright and eye-catching. There are clumps of thorn trees with small purple flowers, golden wild chrysanthemums, and bunches of wild grapes. At a glance, there are red, yellow, white, and purple colors. In the distance, you can't tell the flowers and colors, just dots all over the slopes. Dense flowers and plants cover the mountains; pine forests that cover the sky and connect the layers of mountains. This place is rarely visited by people, everything is full of wild flavor, and humans have not added any decoration.

A must-see in Datong! Countless times I looked up, and each time I was awestruck! Even better with a guided tour! As history fades into the past, cultural relics also deteriorate, so please cherish them while you can!
