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.China · Beijing

The Badaling Great Wall is a 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 northwest passage to the capital. The pass is trapezoidal in shape, narrower in the east and wider in the west, with two gates, one on the east and one on the west. The inscription above the east gate reads "Outer Garrison of Juyong Pass," and the inscription above the west gate reads "Key to the North Gate." Both inscriptions are still clearly visible today. Extending north from the pass is the Northern Great Wall, with over ten watchtowers along its length; southward is the Southern Great Wall, with fewer quantity. The Eighth Tower on the North Side is the highest point of the entire Great Wall, exceeding 1,000 meters in altitude, offering a panoramic view of the Great Wall's magnificent winding course along the mountain ridge. The Northern Great Wall, with its higher elevation, steeper slopes, and expansive views, is the main route for most visitors; the Southern Great Wall is relatively gentler and less visitors, suitable for those who want to take photos at a leisurely pace and avoid the crowds. If time permits, visiting the Southern Great Wall first and then the Northern Great Wall is a more relaxed approach. The Badaling section of the Great Wall was one of the first to be opened to the public. The top of the wall is paved with square bricks, and in some sections, five horses can ride abreast. The crenellations and arrow slits are well-preserved, allowing visitors to directly appreciate the construction standards of Ming Dynasty border fortifications. In autumn, the layers of red leaves on the mountains contrast beautifully with the blue brick walls, making it a popular destination for photography enthusiasts. ▲Travel through 600 years of gilded history and encounter a visual feast of mountains covered in vermilion and red leaves. ▲nightAs the curtain falls, the ancient city walls, like a dazzling golden dragon winding through the mountains, are illuminated by lights, telling tales of a thousand years of glorious and mysterious history. ▲ In winter, the Badaling Great Wall, covered in snow, resembles a silver dragon winding among the mountains. The golden light of dawn shines on the wall, creating a tranquil and magnificent scene.China · Beijing

It is a shrine built by later generations to commemorate Tang Shuyu, the founding feudal lord of the State of Jin, and serves as the ancestral temple of Jin. It is known for the saying, "If you have not visitedJinci Temple, it would be a wasted trip to Taiyuan," as the saying goes. After getting off at Jinci, the first place you arrive at isJinci Temple Museum, this is a free park with a nice environment that you can look around at will. Walk for about 10 minutes, and you can reach the main area of Jinci through the park. Inside the Jinci Temple Museum,Jinci Temple"Three treasures" (Jinci Temple Museum - Xian Hall, Flying Bridge Across Fish Pond, Jinci Temple Museum - Shengmu Hall) and "three wonders" (Jinci Temple Museum - Zhou Cypress, Nanlao Spring, painted clay sculptures) are what every visitor toJinci TempleA view that no one should miss. Jinci TempleThe "Three Treasures" are linked together and located atJinci TempleOn the central axis, they can be visited together. Jinci Temple Museum - Xian Hall is a place for enshrining sacrificial offerings, with fence-like walls on all four sides that provide ventilation and coolness. What is particularly notable is that no iron nails were used on the beams and pillars throughout the hall. The Fish Pond Flying Bridge is located west of Xian Hall, that is, between Xian Hall and the Hall of the Holy Mother, and was built during the Song Dynasty. The overall view resembles a modern overpass and is the only surviving example of its kind among ancient bridges in China. One end of the "Flying Bridge" connects to Jinci Temple Museum - Hall of the Holy Mother, which is one of the earlier main buildings extant in Jinci Temple Museum. The interior of the hall is very spacious, and having beams without pillars is a major highlight. On the 8 corridor pillars in front of the hall are carved 8 wooden coiled dragons poised to fly, which, together with the "Fish Pond Flying Bridge," appear quite imposing. Centered around Jinci Temple Museum-Holy Mother Hall, the "Three Wonders" are easy to find. The painted clay sculptures are located in Jinci Temple Museum-Holy Mother Hall. The main statue of the Holy Mother sits upright in a wooden shrine, dignified and gorgeous, with the other 42 attendants arranged on both sides. These sculptures are brightly dressed and have different expressions. Among them is a maid dressed as a huadan, half joyful and half sorrowful, which inevitably leaves viewers with mixed feelings. Master Mei Lanfang once stood for a long time in front of this maid, carefully savoring her movements and inner thoughts, and praised her greatly. Jinci Temple Museum-Zhou Cypress is located on the north side of Jinci Temple Museum-Holy Mother Hall. It was planted in the Western Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 3,000 years. Nanlao Spring is located on the south side of Jinci Temple Museum-Holy Mother Hall, and the source of the Jin water flows out from here. In addition,Jinci TempleInside, there is also the "Inscription on the Jinci Temple" stele, personally composed and handwritten by Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, which is extremely precious. In the southernmost part, there is also the Shifang Fengsheng Zen Temple, said to have originally been the villa of Yuchi Gong, a founding general of the Tang Dynasty. South of the shrine, within the Futu Monastery, stands a Sarira Stupa; climbing the stupa and gazing into the distance,Jinci TempleThe panoramic views are vividly etched in my mind.China · Taiyuan

Teacher Xiaolin is very professional, and her explanations are vivid and interesting. This is my third time visiting the Forbidden City; before, I had only seen it superficially. This time, under Teacher Xiaolin's guidance, I learned a lot about the history behind it. Highly recommended!

We went on a rainy day. The advantage was fewer people, but the disadvantage was that it started pouring rain halfway through the ride, and we got completely soaked... The park wasn't as big as I expected, and the main rides weren't particularly innovative. It might be better to go on special holidays for a better atmosphere.

I'll say it three times: Don't take the cable car up there, it's pointless. The cable car only goes up to the 7th floor. In the time it takes you to queue, you can climb up to the 7th floor (the 8th floor is the highest point). Then you can climb directly to the 11th floor without backtracking, which only takes a little over two hours. From the 11th floor, you can take bus 899 back to the city.

It truly is a famous mountain and river. From Jinan Railway Station → 17-minute train ride → Tai'an Station → 20+ minute taxi ride to the foot of the mountain → 3 hours from Hongmen → Nantianmen → 1 hour to stroll through Tianjie and Yuhuang Palace → cable car down the mountain. A thoroughly enjoyable mountain climb.

The Yungang Grottoes are truly breathtaking! Standing at the foot of the open-air Buddha statue and looking up, I was instantly captivated by the majestic grandeur of the Northern Wei stone carvings. The details of the statues are exquisite and lifelike, with ingenious designs evident in every flying apsara and relief. The scenic area has excellent facilities, and the guided tours are very professional; only by listening can you truly understand the stories hidden within the stones. Seeing it with your own eyes is what it means to witness a thousand years in a glance. A must-see when visiting Datong!

The Zhou cypress and Tang locust trees, along with their three unique features and three plaques, exude a thousand-year-old charm that is worth traveling a long distance to visit and linger in. If you have enough time, start your stroll from Jinci Park, which is nestled against the mountains and by the water, with flowers, trees, bridges, pavilions, and the delicious Yuhua Temple. The Jinci Museum's attractions are concentrated, but each place is worth savoring. I'll definitely go again sometime.
