Teacher Zhou's explanations are vivid, interesting, professional, and friendly. He provides very detailed introductions to the history of the cultural relics, which allows us to gain a deeper understanding of the Palace Museum's collection and adds to the enjoyment of the visit. We have learned a lot!

What a wonderful tour! Our guide was Jane; she contacted me on WhatsApp the day before. Along the way, Jane told me a little about the history of the Simatai section of the wall. Once there, the guide offered additional services: a boat, lunch, and a roundtrip cable car ride for ¥320 per person. We took everything and didn't regret it. The boat took us to a hot pot restaurant: each of us had our own pot. Jane showed us how to make the sauce, which was delicious and not at all spicy. After lunch, we had free time. The cable car takes us to the observation deck at the 8th tower, from where it's another 10-15-minute climb up a steep staircase. The views are stunning! Gubei is very clean and well-maintained. There are free hot springs (more like small foot pools), cafes, restaurants, and exhibition areas. The restrooms are modern, there are restrooms, and water coolers. The Great Wall's illumination turned on around 7:05 PM, so even during our daytime visit, we were able to see its lights from afar. Overall, we were pleased!

We did not expect summer to be so busy bc kids are on their holidays and every attraction sites are packed with crowds. Our guide Mary was excellent at directing us, she is very knowledgeable about histories and events and shared valuable insights. Because of logistics and the number of tourists in the city, we ended up taking public transport (subway and buses) to bypass traffic which save us alot of walking. However, the wait times for ticketing still consumed 2 hours of our time due to heavy crowd. Our tour was supposed to end at 2pm but Mary stayed with us and completed our tour until 4:30pm so we dont feel cheated. Thank you Mary for being so patient with us. I think everyone in our group had a great time although the day felt very long mainly due to long wait at security and ticketing.

Top 4 Attractions for Your Beijing Experience

Top 3 Attractions for Your Beijing Experience

Beijing has dozens of attractions, but these 3 are must-sees for first-timers—they showcase the city’s history and culture, and many are covered in Trip.com’s tours.

1. The Great Wall (Badaling Section)

  • Highlight: One of the most well-preserved sections of the Great Wall, offering easy access and breathtaking mountain views. It’s even featured in Trip.com’s complimentary “Journey to the Great Wall Tour” for layovers!
  • Best Time to Visit: Aim for March to May for mild weather, or September to November for clear skies. It’s best to steer clear of the summer crowds.
  • How to Book Your Tickets: These are included in Trip.com’s Great Wall day tours. If you’re traveling independently, you can also snag your tickets on Trip.com (which helps you skip those long lines at the gate!).

Amazing to see, a little confusing as we did not join a tour. We did not realize that there were no drop-offs allowed at the entrance. However, we were dropped off at a designated location and provided with a free shuttle to the entrance. I highly recommend getting there early around opening time to avoid the crowds. We arrived at around 7 am with a cool temperature along with several tour buses full of tourists. However, by 9 am we began to leave and saw that the wall had become extremely crowded and hot from the sun. Be aware that the climb up is very physically demanding.

I visited several sections of the Great Wall, each one different. Badaling was quite interesting, but probably because of the long holiday, it was incredibly crowded...

2. The Forbidden City (Palace Museum)

  • Highlight: The former imperial palace of China’s emperors—home to over 186,000 cultural relics. It’s an absolute must-see for history lovers!
  • Best Time to Visit: 8:30–10:00 AM (for smaller crowds); note that it's closed on Mondays (unless it's a public holiday).
  • How to Book Your Tickets: You'll need to book in advance (up to 7 days early) on Trip.com or the Palace Museum’s official website. Don't forget to bring your passport (for international travelers) to get in!

The Forbidden City in Beijing, a millennium-old capital, has witnessed the changing times. Here, history and modernity intertwine, antiquity and prosperity coexist, and every corner exudes a unique charm. Today, our guide, Yan Yan, will take us on a journey through time, allowing us to feel the weight of history, appreciate the allure of culture, and experience the vicissitudes of time and history.

3. The Temple of Heaven

  • Highlight: An ancient imperial complex where emperors once prayed for bountiful harvests—it’s iconic for its circular Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. You can visit it as part of Trip.com’s complimentary “Highlights Half-Day City Tour” during your layover.
  • Best Time to Visit: Early morning (to catch locals practicing tai chi) or late afternoon (when the golden light hits the buildings just right).
  • How to Book Your Tickets: Snag your tickets on Trip.com (and skip those long on-site queues!) or buy them right at the gate (they accept cash or online payment).

Despite the large crowds, we found our visit pleasant, enjoying the park surrounding the temple. The temple itself is beautiful, but it's a shame it can only be viewed from the outside. People are constantly pushing and shoving to see the interior, and the bright sunlight makes it difficult to see from a distance, so we spent our time admiring the surrounding area and the exterior structures. In the park, it was lovely to see the local people going about their daily activities outdoors, such as dancing and playing games.
review picture
5/5
The Temple of Heaven Park was much better than I had expected. To be honest, since I visited after seeing the Forbidden City first, I didn't have high expectations; however, personally, I found the park even more beautiful and impressive than the Forbidden City. Above all, I had thought it was simply a place to view historical sites, but the park itself was so well-designed that it was great for a leisurely stroll. With plenty of trees and greenery, it felt relaxed and pleasant despite being in the city center, and the traditional Chinese architecture and scenery blended naturally throughout, making it a great spot for taking photos. In particular, the colors and forms of the buildings harmonized well with the surrounding park landscape, making it much more beautiful than I anticipated. While the Forbidden City was impressive for its scale and historical grandeur, the overall atmosphere and landscaping of the Temple of Heaven Park were so beautiful that simply walking around was a joy. The park is larger than I expected and offers plenty to see, so I recommend visiting with plenty of time to spare. If you are planning a trip to Beijing, I believe it is a place you will find highly satisfying once you actually visit, rather than just a place you go because it is a famous tourist attraction. Personally, it was one of the best places I visited on this Beijing trip, exceeding my expectations.

4. Universal Studios Beijing

  • Highlight: Looking for a dose of pure fun after soaking up the history? This is your spot! It’s a world-class theme park featuring seven immersive zones, including Harry Potter’s Hogsmeade—where you can hop on the Hogwarts Express and sip on some butterbeer—plus Transformers Metrobase and Jurassic World. Whether you’re traveling with family, your partner, or you’re just a huge fan of movies and adrenaline-pumping roller coasters, this place is an absolute must-visit.
  • Best Time to Visit: Aim for a weekday (Tuesday–Thursday) to dodge the weekend rush. Early spring (March–April) or late autumn (October–November) are the sweet spots—the weather is pleasantly cool, so you won't be breaking a sweat while waiting in line for rides. Definitely steer clear of public holidays (like Chinese New Year), when wait times for popular attractions can easily stretch to 2–3 hours.
  • How to Book Your Tickets: Snag your tickets directly on Trip.com—they frequently offer awesome package deals (think “ticket + hotel near the park” or “fast pass bundles”) that can save you a bundle!

5/5
The hotel offered early access an hour before the official opening, which was very helpful. My husband and I got in early and immediately rushed to the Harry Potter zone. The experience was worth the entire flight. It was incredible, we loved it, especially the flight to get the Snitch! The other zones are also very interesting; 12 hours of walking and aching feet are definitely worth it! The long, snake-like entrances make the queues feel minimal; you're constantly moving and don't feel like you're waiting. My advice: get a ticket on a weekday, an hour before the hotel's official opening. This will be enough to avoid long queues and make it through everything. Fast track entry isn't necessary.

5/5
The best day in Beijing! My husband and I went on September 3rd, and it was a fantastic day! So many memories. The coolest thing, of course, was the roller coaster—it was truly amazing! The speed, the loops, the thrills were off the charts. But the park isn't just for thrill-seekers: there are so many rides, there's plenty of room to roam. It's very convenient that CITYWALK is located outside the park—you can stroll around freely, which is exactly what we did on September 2nd. It's funny how the selection of shops partly overlaps with what's inside, but each one has its own unique features and differences—a pleasant variety. We went to a show—yes, they sing and speak Chinese, but the production was so vibrant, costumed, and spectacular that the language didn't interfere at all. It was beautiful! As for the food, the selection was huge! The most surprising thing was that there were a lot of people, but it didn't spoil the mood at all! We hardly stood in lines: 10-30 minutes at most, and the line moved so quickly you didn't even have time to get tired. Thanks for the experience!

5/5
We really enjoyed it, although compared to Universal Japan it's more crowded. We were a little disappointed with the closing show in the Harry Potter area, as they changed it because Halloween season was starting that day. But the rest of the park was fantastic and a lot of fun! We highly recommend it; we had a great time, and even without Fastpasses, we were able to go on all the rides.
review picture
5/5
It's a cool park. We've been on all the "scary" rides - you feel safe on them! There are no super extreme ones here, they're not like the meat-packing plants in St. Petersburg 😂 The lines were long, but we planned to be in the park all day and left in the evening. We got through security at the beginning quickly. Jurassic Park has a raptor ride - if you're without kids, there's nothing to do there, it's just a puppet raptor. There was an hour-long line for the Three Broomsticks (the cafe from the Harry Potter world), so we went to the noodle shop from the Kung Fu Panda world (like!), a little further along was a granny's cafe, but everything there had seafood added, a note for allergy sufferers. By the way, it's cool that all the lines are under cover and with fans.

1. Airport Transfers

3. Taxis & Ride-Hailing

  • Taxis: Fares kick off at ¥13 (for the first 3 km), then it’s just ¥2.3 for every additional kilometer. Keep an eye out for the official taxis—you'll spot them in blue, green, or red—and always make sure they're running the meter!

Five-star review! I stayed at the Sofitel Beijing Central for four consecutive days, and my overall experience was extremely satisfying. The location is excellent, close to Jianguomen subway station, making it very convenient to get to Wangfujing, Tiananmen Square, and the National Museum. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing was good, so I rested very well. The front desk staff were warm and polite, and their service was prompt and responsive; communication was smooth whenever I had a request. The hotel environment is quiet and elegant, and the facilities are well-maintained. Traveling with children, staying here made getting around and sightseeing worry-free and convenient. It's a great choice for exploring urban Beijing, especially since the young lady at the Chance hotel front desk upgraded our room for free and gave us a breakfast voucher for one adult and two children for one day, considering our late arrival. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Beijing – it truly exceeded my expectations!

This hotel's location is right in the heart of Beijing. It's a 5-minute walk to the Line 1 and Line 2 subway entrances, directly across the street, making it super convenient to get to famous attractions like Wangfujing and Tiananmen Square. The hotel lobby has a very luxurious feel. The bedding in the rooms is clean and high-quality, and the electric curtains add a nice touch. What I really loved was the toilet with all its functions. I expected dining at a five-star hotel like this to be quite expensive, but I was genuinely surprised by the affordable prices. Three or four waitstaff rotated to serve dishes and pour tea, and the Peking duck was many times better than some other famous duck restaurants. Both the hotel facilities and the quality of the staff reflect the high and professional management standards of this hotel. If you're coming to Beijing, you must stay at Hotel New Otani Chang Fu Gong!

Tian'anmen Square and Wangfujing Area Beijing|0.86km from city center
Our long-awaited summer family trip to Beijing, with the New Otani Hotel as our base, turned out to be a relaxed and enjoyable journey. Located in the heart of Chongwenmen, the hotel boasts an excellent prime location. This historic hotel, having weathered the years, has shed its extravagance to offer a truly solid and comfortable stay. The rooms are clean and bright, with good soundproofing, allowing us to rest peacefully at night after days of sightseeing. The girls at the front desk were exceptionally polite; seeing that we were traveling with children and seniors, they thoughtfully upgraded our room – another pleasant surprise during our trip. The staff were patient and attentive, striking just the right balance. The concierge service for luggage storage was convenient, and food delivery to the room was quick and easy, with Mr. Guan Longhai providing meticulous service. The housekeeping staff, Xiao Rui and Sister Haiyan, were also kind-hearted and down-to-earth. Checkout was swift; simply handing the room card to the front desk staff was all that was needed. We'll definitely bring our child to stay here again on our next visit to Beijing.

During my middle school entrance exam, I needed a quiet place to rest during the day. The hotel specifically assigned us to the 12th floor, which was very quiet. The hotel itself was very clean.

Crystal Orange Hotel Beijing Tiananmen Wangfujing

9.4/10Outstanding11215 Reviews
Tian'anmen Square and Wangfujing Area Beijing|1.25km from city center
The room was tiny, I mean, really tiny. There was no space for luggage; if you put it on the floor, you couldn't walk. I originally booked a windowless room, and they said they upgraded me to one with a window, but it faced a wall about 50 centimeters away. So, open or closed, it was dark, and if you opened it, all you heard was the buzzing of the AC unit outside, so it was better to keep it shut. The breakfast was good, and the location was decent. I don't understand why hotel ratings are always so high nowadays. It's because after you book, the front desk chases you for a 5-star review. This practice really needs to be addressed.

The hotel's location is fantastic, right in the New World Department Store building, with Chongmun Station on Subway Line 5 just downstairs. There are numerous large shopping malls nearby, lots of great restaurants, and it's convenient to get anywhere. The room's cleanliness was also very good. I particularly liked their hairdryer; it's very powerful, which is great for people with long hair. The only thing I was unhappy with was their internet 🛜 – it's really bad and often disconnects, especially in the bathroom. As soon as you enter, the Wi-Fi drops. I hope they can switch to a better network provider. Everything else deserves five stars!

We initially had only planned to stay one night but decided to extend our stay and stayed 5 nights this visit. The hotel gave us a voucher for complimentary art workshop. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and so did my nieces. Location of the hotel is perfect, within walking distance to few subway stations and just one block away from downtown commercial shopping. Staff are friendly, great breakfast selection, rooms are, clean and spacious. The housekeeping staff are very polite and friendly, they are constantly maintaining the cleanliness and tidyness of the space. We did not get a chance to use the pool, as the day goes by it gets pretty busy with kids, swimming cap is mandatory and can be purchased from the gym trainers. The laundry room was convenient (3 washer, 3 dryer), detergent supplied, but the dryer takes a long time to fully dry so we ended up airing our clothes in our suite. If I return to Beijing again in the future, I will definitely book this hotel again.

Manxin Hotel Beijing Tiananmen Wangfujing

Tian'anmen Square and Wangfujing Area Beijing|1.28km from city center
Five-star review! The hotel's location is superb, very close to the Forbidden City, making sightseeing incredibly convenient. Right next door is Siji Minfu, so you can order roast duck directly from the front desk and bring it back to the hotel to eat, skipping the queue. The staff are attentive and thoughtful, the rooms have good soundproofing, and the environment is quiet, allowing for a good rest. The rooms are tidy and clean, and the overall stay experience was great. This is definitely the top choice when visiting Beijing and the Forbidden City. Highly recommended!

Great apart-hotel and great service. The pool/gym on the roof is amazing. (Too many kids for my taste, but there's nothing to do about that...) The reception desk always very helpful, and the breakfast is fantastic. I highly reccommend this hotel.

Beijing West Railway Station Area Beijing|7.17km from city center
The room was quite clean, but the hotel is a bit too eco-friendly. While I appreciate the effort, some of the towels had holes in them from repeated use, which is something to look out for during room checks. The hotel's location is very convenient. The service lady on the 10th floor was amazing; she always greeted us warmly whenever we saw her, which was really lovely!

This was my first time staying at the Park Plaza. We came because my child had an exam at the Academy of Arts and Design's attached high school. When we arrived, I didn't even realize there was a hotel next door. What drew us in was the parking lot we spotted as we drove by, and it was indeed very close to the school. The security guard at the entrance confirmed there was plenty of parking, and we were impressed to find both above-ground and underground spaces. So, we decided to book a room. The price was reasonable, not expensive at all, and the hotel had everything: a restaurant, breakfast, and a gym. Stepping into the lobby, it was bright, and a pleasant aroma filled the air, immediately giving us a holiday vibe and easing our nerves. The young lady at the front desk was incredibly warm and thorough during check-in. She double-checked our late checkout request multiple times to ensure it was fine. Knowing we were there for our child's exam, she even extended our checkout to 3 PM, which was a very rare and thoughtful gesture. Despite many students and parents checking in, it never felt crowded. The elevators were fast, room service was prompt, and the little robot delivering items was adorable and busy. The room itself was spacious and clean. The first night, the hot water in the bathroom wasn't very hot, possibly due to a high number of guests, but the bathtub was very comfortable, and the bedding was cozy. There was a slight creak when turning over, but it was acceptable. Staff were quick to respond to any extra requests. Parking was free after registering at the front desk. Overall, the value for money is good. I recommend it to anyone who needs a place to stay.

This five-star hotel truly delivers on luxury, making for an exceptional experience. The location deserves special praise – it's incredibly convenient for getting anywhere.

Step out of the hotel and turn left, and you'll find Longfor Tianjie Mall within 50 meters, boasting so many shopping and dining options that you'll be spoiled for choice. All your retail therapy and culinary cravings will be easily satisfied. The room itself was an even bigger surprise. It was incredibly spacious, bright, and filled with natural light. The floor-to-ceiling window, in particular, offered an amazing view – it was incredibly comfortable just lying there and taking in the scenery. The amenities were comprehensive, and the pillows and mattress were perfectly comfortable. I slept so soundly, straight through till morning, feeling completely refreshed. Breakfast is also worth mentioning. With a rich variety of both Chinese and Western options, there was so much to choose from, ensuring a satisfying start to each day. The staff were consistently warm, polite, and genuinely considerate of guests' needs. Their service was incredibly thoughtful, and they definitely deserve a big thumbs up!

Beijing Marriott Hotel Changping

We had such a fantastic time bringing our child to the Le Du Port Marriott this trip! My child was participating in a robotics competition, and after adding the hotel's butler, Skyller, on WeChat, they pre-checked us in so my child could rest during lunchtime. We learned it was also my child's birthday that day, and they even prepared balloons and a small cake, which made my child incredibly happy. Any requests were promptly addressed. A huge thumbs up to Skyller! 👍 The room was spacious and clean, and the children's amenities were thoughtfully prepared; the small slippers and toothbrush made my child feel really involved. Breakfast offered a wide variety, and there was even a dedicated children's serving area, making mealtime enjoyable for my little one and stress-free for us. The pool temperature was just right for splashing around and enjoying the hot springs with the kids, plus there's a children's play area. It was a truly special birthday, and the attention to detail in the service was impeccable. I highly recommend this to families looking for a 'one-stop' destination for kids around Beijing.

I chose Nuo Hotel for my birthday this year, and I was pleasantly surprised when the front desk wished me a happy birthday during check-in. They upgraded me to an executive floor, which was beautifully decorated with a great ambiance, and the view from the window was also lovely. I drove here this time, and at checkout, I wasn't proactively informed about parking fee waivers or anything similar. So, I had to go down to the garage and then come back to the front desk to inquire.

I was very satisfied with my stay at the Grand Hyatt Beijing this time, and I'd like to sincerely share my review. Chris at the front desk deserves commendation; he proactively and quickly resolved any issues we encountered, treating guests with kindness and patience, which made for an excellent service experience. The hotel's location is a significant advantage, conveniently close to Tiananmen Square for sightseeing, and Wangfujing is right next door, making it a one-stop shop for sightseeing, shopping, and dining. The room facilities are comprehensive, with complete hardware, and it was spotlessly clean and spacious for a comfortable stay. The hotel amenities are excellent, public areas are well-maintained, and the overall service is top-notch. It's suitable whether you're traveling alone or with companions, and I'll definitely choose it again on my next visit to Beijing. The children especially loved the hotel pool.

The hotel's location is excellent, making it incredibly convenient to get anywhere. The subway is easily accessible, and major attractions like Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the National Museum are just three stops away. There are also plenty of dining options nearby. As an established star-rated hotel, the service is impeccable and very thoughtful; they even aired out the room to remove smoke odor before our arrival. The cleanliness was also top-notch, and the shower pressure was great. The breakfast spread was very generous; I especially recommend trying the noodles!

My stay at the Waldorf Astoria Beijing was absolutely perfect, earning a full five-star review! I experienced both the main building and the traditional courtyard rooms.

This is definitely the top luxury hotel to stay at when visiting Beijing. Highly recommended!
