Things to do in Zhuozhou

We booked last minute and they were able to accommodate us. There was heavy rain but still very crowded but really worth the visit. History and architecture is incredible. Cora was our guide and she explained well in English and knew about many details about the construction of the palace and the history. A great experience (unlucky for the rain). Cora also waited for us as we were late and was very helpful throughout so thank you! Very good instructions on meeting point sent one day before the visit and very responsive customer service. Highly recommended.

Sanyi Palace is perfect for a Three Kingdoms fan like me, as there are many stories about the glorious deeds of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in the courtyard; however, the courtyard is densely covered with greenery and has a large number of mosquitoes. If you visit in the summer, be sure to bring mosquito repellent spray and long-sleeved clothing for protection. I got bitten several times during my visit 😂😂😂.

I have enjoyed my time in Universal Studios, it has various characters and stories telling. I enjoyed being in Harry Potter area most

Parking is available at the free parking lot in front of the Gao Family Courtyard; the North Pagoda gate is just over 100 meters away. Buying a combined ticket is the best option, including both the North and South Pagodas and the Gao Family Courtyard. The North Pagoda, one of the Liao Dynasty twin pagodas, is actually called the Yunju Temple Pagoda. The "Twin Pagodas in the Sunny Sky" is one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Zhuozhou. Most pagodas are of odd numbers, but this one is a 6-story, 56-meter-tall stupa. It's actually 7 years younger than the South Pagoda; they're not twins! Unfortunately, climbing the pagoda is no longer allowed.

I enjoyed visiting the temple of heaven, the park it is situated in is gorgeous and has such a friendly relaxing vibe. The temple itself was stunning; but the experience was slightly ruined by how busy it was, and there were lots of people on sight approaching us and trying to sell things such as photo opportunities and gifts which made the visit a little stressful, it was also incredibly crowded around the main temple with lots of people pushing. After visiting the temple, we walked to one of the flower gardens which was absolutely gorgeous and relaxing, perfect to decompress after the big crowd.

Visiting the Summer Palace was one of the highlights of my Beijing trip! The place is massive, and every turn seems to reveal another beautiful courtyard, temple or scenic view.Exploring Longevity Hill was especially memorable. There were plenty of stairs to climb, but seeing the magnificent imperial architecture and looking out over the vast Kunming Lake made the effort worthwhile. I was particularly impressed by the grandeur of the Hall of Dispelling Clouds and the Tower of Buddhist Incense. It's fascinating to imagine how the emperors and empresses once spent their time here.Unfortunately, some areas weren't accessible during my visit, which was a little disappointing. Still, I really enjoyed wandering around, soaking in the atmosphere and appreciating the history behind this incredible place. There's something quite special about standing among these centuries-old structures and imagining what life must have been like back then.Definitely wear comfortable shoes!

The Drum Tower is nowhere to be seen, people are swarming and crisscrossing the streets with e-donkeys, and the streets are typically dirty and poorly managed. The fried cakes are two small and not very tasty, so don't expect too much. Personally, I feel that if compared to Beijing Jingtianhong's fried cakes, they are not up to standard.

Tour guide Nie Jianing provided detailed explanations, clearly outlining the precautions for a day trip and recommending the best mountain routes. He also clearly explained safety reminders, meeting times, and risk warnings, ensuring the safety of tourists and their belongings. Today, we were fortunate to have great weather and beautiful scenery at Pofengling. The views along the way were breathtaking; pictures alone cannot convey the grandeur of the mountains. Especially at Hero's Slope, one can truly appreciate the saying "viewing all the mountains from above." Climbing to the summit requires a certain level of physical fitness. I did my research beforehand, taking the cable car to the middle section, then climbing to the peak, and then slowly walking down. In my experience, this was the easiest way. The viewing platform at Hero's Slope is the largest and best; you must persevere to get there to see the best views. The descent is of moderate difficulty and puts a lot of stress on the knees; those with knee problems are not advised to hike down. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed today's day trip, and I thank tour guide Nie Jianing.
