Beijing Wildlife Park

Located in a vast forest of ten thousand mu by the banks of the Yongding River, Beijing Wildlife Park was established in 2001 and is a large wildlife park featuring immersive experiences. The park is home to rare wild animals from around the world, covering hundreds of species and thousands of animals. It abandons the traditional cage-and-fence exhibition method, allowing visitors to encounter animals up close in an open natural environment. The park features multiple themed exhibit areas, including the self-drive safari, beast kingdom, and cute bear habitat. The self-drive safari is the core visiting area, where visitors can drive their own cars or take a mini train through the animal exhibits, observing various animals roaming freely in their natural environments along the way. The beast kingdom is themed around predators such as lions, tigers, and bears. Brown bears will approach the tour vehicle with a sturdy gait, placing their furry giant paws on the vehicle body. Siberian tigers either lie quietly in the forest or pace around patrolling their territory. White tigers, with their white coats and black stripes, stand out strikingly in the sunlight. Visitors can also interact with the predators through safe feeding ports. The cute bear habitat brings together a variety of adorable animals and is a popular destination for families. In addition to the tram exhibit areas, the park has also created multiple walk-through ecological exhibits. The red panda garden, capybara swamp, Madagascar jungle, gibbon exhibit, and blue town each have their own distinctive features. Every exhibit is carefully designed based on the animals' native environments, emphasizing an open-concept approach with few visual barriers, and visitors can even interact with and feed some of the gentle animals. When visiting, it is recommended to experience the tram areas first, then explore the ecological exhibits on foot. The park is quite large, and the pavilions in the walking areas are spread out, so be careful not to miss popular interactive areas such as the red panda garden and capybara swamp.

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 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.

I've been there many times, and each time there's a surprise. I especially love the animals; the viewing experience is great. I particularly enjoy the new exhibits, especially the newly opened Tibetan macaque bear and white tiger theaters. The white tiger theater is similar in style to Chimelong and Yinji parks. I always go to see the adorable Kapibals; the Kapibals at Kitano are very well cared for. I'll definitely go again.

We arrived at Zongheng at 9 am on Sunday. It took about 45 minutes to drive around the self-driving area. After that, we went to feed the Capybara and see other small animals. There was no sense of alienation and the environment was very comfortable. Great!

Ruige Hot Spring is located in Gu'an, about 20 kilometers north of Gu'an County. The hot spring is divided into indoor and outdoor sections, and there is also a swimming pool. All the indoor hot spring pools are open, with more than 10 pools, while about 10 outdoor hot spring pools are open. The indoor hot spring has a tropical rainforest feel and is very beautiful. The hot spring water is excellent, with a smooth feel and a very suitable temperature. The hot spring experience is very good, and the ticket price is not expensive, making it very cost-effective.

Our whole family had a wonderful trip to the Forbidden City! Our guide, Xiao Fangzi, was very attentive and responsible. She contacted us a day in advance, sending us detailed contact information and important notes. The entrance time was quite long, and because we were inexperienced, we arrived late, but she patiently waited for us. During the tour, Xiao Fangzi patiently explained the historical facts, and considering there were many children in our group, she posed many thought-provoking questions. The children found it very engaging. We are all very grateful to Ms. Fangzi!

Bring your kids to ski, the ticket price is a little expensive on holidays, the price-performance ratio is average, the coaches are very enthusiastic, and you can just leave your kids to them and have a rest, they will take your kids to the ski resort with shoes and skateboards. The original big restaurant is gone, there is only a coffee shop that can provide simple lunch, instant noodles, hamburgers, grilled sausages, etc., but the place is too small, there are only five or six tables, and you basically have to stand to eat at lunch time. It is recommended that the coffee shop be at least doubled in size next year.

If you're tired of the noisy metropolis and want a quick "reset," Longxi Hotspring Resort (also known as Grand Metropark Longxi Conference Center) is a true gem. This five-star resort is especially great for family vacations or a romantic weekend getaway.The main highlight is the "Longxi Hot Spring Water World." You step inside and forget you're in the outskirts of Beijing (even if it's the Beijing suburbs). The massive 8,700 sq m space under a glass roof is designed like a tropical rainforest — palm trees and exotic plants everywhere, creating the full sensation of being in an oasis or a resort like Sanya. This makes your stay comfortable in any weather.💧 Hot Springs & Pools: A Choice for Every TasteThe variety here is stunning. There are about 35 pools in total, both indoors and outdoors.· Variety of baths: There's a huge selection of therapeutic and cosmetic baths: milk baths, wine baths, flower petal baths, coffee baths, herbal baths, and more.

The Dream of the Red Chamber Theater is uniquely designed with great color and visual appeal, making it suitable for photography enthusiasts. I bought a night ticket, which included a performance of a play by No. 35 Middle School. It was quite touching, and the lighting at night was beautiful. Five stars!
