4.1/5
1 reviewsOur Universal Studios Beijing tour guide was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and very well organized. They managed time efficiently, explained attractions clearly, and helped us skip unnecessary waits. The experience was smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. Highly recommended for first-time visitors and families wanting the best park experience.
Full-Day Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with 5 Hours at the Site (ENG/ESP/RUS Guided Bus)
4.9/5
2508 reviewsThis is a great tour if you don't want to delve into the details and figure out navigation yourself. Two route options, green and red, are offered on the bus for 140 yuan per person. The green route has long lines, but they're perfectly reasonable. However, we didn't have time to go down the toboggan run because of the line. Lunch is included during your time on the wall (we recommend booking the tour with lunch, as it's a bit cheaper). The lunch is delicious, with a wide selection. Souvenirs are also offered on the bus: a notebook with wall stamps (you can bring your own and display it at the gift shop near the organizers' visitor center) and a glass-framed certificate for conquering the wall. Special thanks to our guide, Misha, for his guidance, the tour, and his attentiveness to each participant.

193 reviewsThis time, we booked the "Scholar's Tale" guided tour. Our guide, Mr. Wang, is very experienced and has a thorough understanding of the history and surrounding area. His explanations were excellent, helping those of us who weren't familiar with the history or the origins of the stories to understand their meanings. Choosing this tour made our visit to the Forbidden City a breeze! Highly recommended!

Gubei Water Town Day Trip --- [Optional Day Tour / Night Tour of Simatai Great Wall & Lunch]
4.8/5
170 reviewsA day before the tour, we chose a metro station to pick us up from. Guide Cindy contacted us first here and then on WhatsApp to confirm the meeting. The bus picks us up from just two metro stations, at 8:50 and 9:30. We then traveled to the town near the Great Wall of China. Along the way, Cindy explained this section of the wall and the town of Gubei in English. Upon arrival, we boarded boats (80 yuan per person) and headed out for lunch. We didn't really enjoy the lunch (our group wasn't big on hot pots), but in the town itself, you can find cafes and shops where you can grab a bite. We took the funicular (100-120 euros per person) up the wall and then walked around the towers, descending independently. You can also take the funicular, but if you descend independently on the 2nd tower, you can find a zipline descent for 80 euros, which is more fun than the funicular. There are few tourists on this section of the wall, which allowed us to take photos and videos without people and enjoy the ride.

He was very clear and patient, and the route was well-planned, avoiding any sense of rushing. The tour also included breaks to allow for leisurely enjoyment of the scenery while conserving energy. The whole experience was relaxed and comfortable, without feeling particularly tired. I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it!

Top 4 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!).

Yes sure. I advice everyone to visit.
5/5
The place is certainly beautiful, but we were unlucky with the weather. We could only see within 20 meters. But no matter, we went, saw everything, and loved it. Take the cable car, but keep in mind that not all of it has steps. There's a gentle path along the wall itself, and the slope is so steep that we had to hold on to the handrail with one hand to keep from sliding down. In our weather, that was especially true. So, choose good weather.
5/5
Great experience, excellent facial treatment and a very friendly guide
5/5
We quickly got onto the cable car, there were no lines, they even sent more QR codes than necessary, fast and high-quality
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!

Beautiful place to visit but so many people!
5/5
The Palace Museum is a must visit in Beijing. It is absolutely huge & so historical. We did the early session & didn't have to wait too long in line. In Summer you don't need that! Seeing the Clocks & jewels was pretty special also. You could spend a lot of time just wandering through the whole complex- incredible!
4/5
It's a historic site, a very large complex, and it's easy to get lost. You should take an audio guide or go with a group to get a sense of the place. I really liked the second half of the palace, the Inner Courtyard, and the Garden. It's definitely best to get a ticket that includes the Treasury and the Clock Museum; they have very beautiful and rare exhibits. Cons: crowded, poorly organized line at the entrance. It's best to arrive at opening time. You can approach the South Gate from the east side instead of through the square. It's also very hot in the summer; we had a hard time finding the water shops.
5/5
A must visit
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).

5/5
Beautiful even with the crowds...
5/5
I really liked the park around the temple. It's full of flowers, roses, interesting trees, trimmed bushes, and gazebos. There's plenty of room to stroll. You can't visit the temple itself; everyone takes photos of its contents through the open door. Children under 18 can enter free with a passport; no ticket is required. Tickets are checked twice—at the park entrance and at the temple itself.
5/5
A very beautiful place, a must visit 🤗
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!

1. Airport Transfers

2. Subway
- Getting Around: Beijing’s subway system is a breeze, whisking you to most major tourist spots (hop on Line 1 for Tiananmen Square or Line 8 for the stunning Temple of Heaven).
- How to Use: Download the “Yitongxing” app (and link a payment method for a seamless ride) or simply grab a single-ride ticket at any station (¥3–¥10, depending on how far you’re traveling).
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!

- For attractions like the Great Wall (Mutianyu section) or the Summer Palace, book a round-trip shuttle bus on Trip.com. It’s cheaper than taking a taxi and much more reliable than public buses.

Traveling to Beijing for a business trip, I needed a hotel close to Tiananmen Square and 1949 The Hidden City (Quanjude). As an InterContinental Platinum member, I used to stay at the Regent, but now I've switched to the Legendale. The location is excellent, it offers great value for money, and I was pleasantly surprised with a suite upgrade.
The amenities in the room are high quality, no expense spared, giving off a vibe of upward mobility. The breakfast fruit was delicious, and the room itself was very well-maintained.
My only minor complaint is that the hairdryer isn't a newer model; I hope they can update it soon.From€125

Staying at this hotel was such a pleasant surprise! Leah at the front desk had the sweetest smile, and the check-in process was surprisingly fast.

For team-building meetings or family trips, this is the only place to go! I also really appreciate the decor style here; it feels so much more welcoming. Those other hotels with too much glass, stainless steel, and gray decor might look modern, but they just don't have the rich, authentic Old Beijing cultural vibe that this place offers! These are my honest feelings! Definitely a top rating!From€51

Here I am again, after less than a month! This time I even braved a heavy downpour to get here. My flight circled over Beijing for an hour before landing, so I didn't get to the hotel until after midnight. It was another one of those check-in and check-out on the same day trips.
I was already feeling pretty groggy, but thankfully, Bella at the front desk was incredibly warm and enthusiastic. She handled everything super quickly and thoughtfully, getting me checked in no time. Once I got to the room, I even bothered the staff to open and close the window for me. They made two trips late at night – I'm really grateful, though I regret not catching their names.
This time, my room had an even better view! When I woke up in the morning, the sun was even out, and my mood instantly brightened, just like the weather.
I got back late from lunch, but luckily, they extended my check-out time. By the way, I once again ran into the ever-elegant Ms. Rose Xiao. She checked out my room card for me at the very last minute.
This trip was truly a whirlwind. As expected, after the storm, there's always sunshine!

Tian'anmen Square and Wangfujing Area Beijing|0.86km from city center
The biggest highlight of the Xinqiao Hotel is its extremely convenient location – directly opposite Chongwenmen Subway Station (where Lines 2 and 5 intersect). It's incredibly easy to get to Wangfujing, Tiananmen Square, and Beijing Railway Station by subway or bus. Plus, there are malls like New World nearby.
However, the facilities are indeed quite dated. After all, it's an old hotel that opened in 1954, and some rooms have dim lighting. Some room types are windowless, which can feel a bit stuffy if you haven't confirmed beforehand. I personally recommend getting a room with a window.
In summary, if location and transportation convenience are your top priorities and you're fine with the older style of an established hotel, this is a hassle-free choice!From€68

The location is very convenient, just a few minutes' walk from Wangfujing. There are many snack shops, restaurants and a few hair salons next to and in front of the hotel. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, assisting us with hailing a taxi and showing us how to get to the various attractions. The hotel even provided a small map to guide us on foot to and from the Palace Museum.
Very special is this hotel very family friendly, the have connecting room for the family to stay in, for us, we can take care of our girls without open the door and go to another room.
The daily housekeeping was very thorough. The female housekeeper responsible for our rooms 715 and 716 was particularly friendly, attentive, and responsible. My daughter accidentally spilled soy milk on the carpet and bed; I informed her, and she promised to handle it. When we returned to the room that evening, the carpet and bed were spotless, without any smell or stains. We were very satisfied with the hotel's service.

While there was an initial misunderstanding due to a hygiene concern which caused distress on our first night stay that I had to escalate the matter through Trip.com, the hotel manager turned the experience around. The night before check-out, we had a genuine and positive conversation at the lobby. She was humble and openly acknowledged her shortcomings and appreciated for helping her learn and grow as a leader. Good to know that a manager willing to take accountability and desire to improve. Every hotel staff we have interacted with are professional and friendly.
Aside from the good service recovery, we loved the hotel's convenience:
1. Siji Minfu Peking Roast Duck Restaurant (四季民福) is next to the hotel along with other food options in the same stretch.

International Trade CBD/Chaoyang Joy City Beijing|4.46km from city center
Overall, a five-star review – I really love this hotel. I'm a foreign tourist and I've traveled to over thirty provinces and ninety cities across China. I've stayed at this hotel multiple times and have also recommended it to my friends and family.
The hotel's biggest advantage is its excellent hygiene. The rooms are spotless, and the bathrooms are equipped with smart toilets, which as a foreigner, I particularly appreciate.
I do have two issues I'd like to bring to the hotel's attention:
First, the takeaway delivery policy. For food safety reasons, the hotel doesn't allow robots to deliver food to guest rooms, so I have to go downstairs to pick it up every time I order. Several times, by the time I get my food, it's already completely cold. Sometimes, it's really inconvenient to go downstairs to pick up food right after showering. My suggestion to the hotel is this: You could prepare a food safety waiver. Guests who voluntarily sign it would acknowledge and accept the food safety risks themselves, allowing robots to deliver food to their rooms. This would both maintain the hotel's management requirements and be more convenient for guests.
Second, the bathroom scale in my room is broken and inaccurate. I weigh 180 jin, but the scale showed only 40 jin – the numbers are completely off.
Aside from these two minor issues, the hotel is five-star worthy in every other aspect. If these problems can be improved in the future, I will definitely bring my family back to stay here often.From€115

The hotel is close to the Dongzhimen metro station, where there are shuttles to the airport and the Great Wall. The area is quiet and has everything you could need. The hotel is very clean, and the staff is friendly and always available at all hours. The room is large and also has a dressing table, a drying rack, a washing machine, a microwave, an electric cooker, a sink, a large refrigerator with freezer, and several closets and pantries. The beds are very comfortable. The bathroom is large, and towels and bathrobes are provided. Highly recommended.From€66

Tian'anmen Square and Wangfujing Area Beijing|1.72km from city center
My friend stayed at this hotel two years ago when they visited Beijing and recommended it to me. Before my trip, I booked and canceled a couple of times because some online reviews weren't great, which made me hesitate. But in the end, I decided to stick with it.
I stayed for four consecutive nights. The check-in staff and the concierge at the entrance were very welcoming. The short-haired cleaning aunt on my floor kept the room very clean and was also very friendly. The breakfast was good too. When I checked out, they didn't ask me to write a positive review, but I was so glad I chose this place after experiencing it myself. Oh, and the views from the rooms are beautiful. This is the view from my room; my friend's room overlooked a traditional Beijing *hutong*.From€89

Changping Town/Shisanling Resort Beijing|40.96km from city center
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.From€90

Yansha Commercial Area Beijing|7.02km from city center
This trip to Beijing, I stayed at the veteran five-star Kempinski Hotel. The hygiene was absolutely excellent, and the bath amenities and towels really highlighted the hotel's quality. The room was a bit small, which is an unchangeable aspect of its original design, but the mirrors around the room were a thoughtful touch to alleviate the feeling of a cramped space. On the day of check-in, the male front desk staff member informed us again that rooms were tight, making us wait in the lobby for over half an hour before our three rooms were finally settled. This has never happened at other hotels of comparable standing. The hotel should have a clear plan for guests checking in. I hope they improve their service professionalism and the efficiency of the front desk so that guests can have a smooth and pleasant check-in experience.From€133

Wangjing Area Beijing|10.16km from city center
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.From€104

Tian'anmen Square and Wangfujing Area Beijing|0.86km from city center
Staying at the Grand Hyatt Beijing for this trip was an absolute delight! My overall experience exceeded expectations, earning a perfect score. It truly lives up to its reputation as a high-quality five-star hotel in the city center. 👍
The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Chang'an Avenue and conveniently next to a subway station. Getting around is incredibly easy, with Tiananmen Square, Wangfujing, and major attractions all nearby. There are plenty of shopping and dining options too, making sightseeing and exploring effortless.
The hotel's ambiance is upscale, elegant, clean, and bright. The public areas are tidy and refined, exuding a wonderful atmosphere. The guest rooms are spacious and well-lit, with a practical layout. The cleanliness is impeccable – no strange odors, and every corner is spotless. The bedding is soft and skin-friendly, and the mattress offers just the right amount of firmness. The soundproofing is excellent; once the door is closed, it's quiet and private, ensuring a peaceful and relaxing night's sleep every time.
The facilities are new and comprehensive, including a wet and dry separation bathroom and premium toiletries. The attention to detail is evident in the quality. The overall comfort for daily living is very high, making for a truly pleasant stay.
What was most surprising and delightful was the exceptionally thoughtful and meticulous service! Check-in at the front desk was efficient and quick, handled with gentle patience. 👍 A special shout-out to the lovely Amy, whose service was attentive, polite, and incredibly warm – simply outstanding. The concierge and housekeeping staff were all very polite; any requests were met with prompt and quick responses. The entire service experience was gentle and never perfunctory, leaving me feeling very comfortable and respected.
The breakfast offered a rich variety, fresh ingredients, and excellent flavors, with diverse Chinese and Western options that fully met five-star standards. The gym and swimming pool facilities are also complete and well-maintained.
Overall, the stay was comfortable, hassle-free, and of high quality. It's perfectly suited for both family vacations and city trips, offering great value for money. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Beijing! Heartily recommended! ❤️From€200

International Trade CBD/Chaoyang Joy City Beijing|2.93km from city center
Pros: The hotel's location is pretty good, with plenty of dining options nearby and within a 10-minute walk to the subway station.
Cons: Food delivery was too slow; the delivery robot was idle, and my food wasn't delivered. The room lighting was a bit dim. The shower curtain in the bathroom didn't feel very clean; I'd suggest using a glass film instead. The mattress was slightly smaller than the bed frame, making it easy to bump my legs. When booking through Ctrip, it showed breakfast included, but if you book for two consecutive days, it's only for one day. Be sure to check the booking page, as I had to pay extra for breakfast. This wouldn't be an issue if booked separately. The lobby lounge area has been converted into a tea shop, leaving limited seating. Even if you can sit there, it feels awkward for guests just trying to relax.From€61

The Grand Canal CBD Beijing|21.34km from city center
My child chose this hotel for their college entrance exam because of its proximity to Luhe High School. We were very satisfied with all aspects of the hotel's service throughout the exam period. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, even delivering takeout directly to our room. The cleaning staff were also very thoughtful. The hotel also offered a refrigerator for storing items, and ice was provided for cold drinks. The freshly ground coffee from the front desk was also very fragrant and refreshing. Most of the guests during the exam period were students and parents, and the environment was very quiet, which was conducive to students studying and resting.From€25
