Things to do in Laiyuan

There are three routes: upper, middle, and lower. The path forks shortly after entering from the East Gate, so be sure to check the map carefully to avoid going the wrong way. The easiest route is the lower route, then take the cable car up and return along the middle route. This route is primarily downhill, making it suitable even for children. The highest point, the "Head of Taihang," is on the upper route.

The ancient Geyuan Temple, with a history of over a thousand years, is located on the west side of Guangchang Street in Laiyuan County. Facing south, the temple's preserved central axis buildings include the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Hall of Manjushri, and the Sutra Repository, flanked by a west gate, east and west side halls, and a west meditation room. Supporting cultural relics include a Liao Dynasty iron bell and two sutra pillars. The temple grounds are verdant with ancient pines, and its halls are scattered throughout. The "Geyuan Bell Chime" is one of the twelve ancient scenic wonders of Laiyuan. Geyuan Temple boasts eight unique features: among them, the dougong (bracket sets), window lattices, and murals are known as the "Three Treasures" of the Hall of Manjushri.

Stayed at the Hot Spring Valley Hotel. It had just snowed. The scenery was great. I soaked in the hot springs and drank tea outdoors. It felt great. I also came here to play with friends when I had time.

The snow quality was superb, and very soft. The parking lot was large and free. It's also very close to my accommodation in a nearby county, making it very convenient. The instructors' prices were a bit high. It was 390 yuan per hour on Sundays. Another downside was that people were smoking everywhere in their rest area. Nobody seemed to care. This was the worst part of the trip!

Every step reveals a new scene, a combination of scenery and pools. It's cool in summer, but reaching Longhu Spring is quite treacherous. It took me and one other person, along with a local family, to finally find it! The rest of the way is basically a wild climb.

I almost turned into a popsicle because I arrived too early. My honest advice is to not go in November. Despite all of the above the expierce alone tops anything I have done in my life. I was in awe even after leaving the Great Wall. Once you get your barcode entry is a walk in the park. I only picked Badaling due to accessibility and nothing else.

非常感谢小林老师，风趣幽默，历史听起来非常简单有趣易懂而且还特别贴心 有问必答的精神 下次来再找你报团😊

Finally, we arrived at Universal Studios Beijing, embarking on a magical journey through movies and fairy tales. Here, all the fatigue of adults was healed. Although the whole day was rushed and packed with activities, we gained a wealth of joy and relaxation. After entering the park, we immersed ourselves in the various themed areas. Every scene was a highly realistic recreation of a movie, creating a truly immersive experience. Our first stop was the Transformers base, with its cool mecha style and immersive atmosphere. The 4D effects of the AllSpark battle were incredibly realistic and breathtaking, making us feel like we were on a sci-fi battlefield – thrilling and exhilarating. For the brave, we tried the Decepticon roller coaster, where the high-speed launch and flips provided ultimate stress relief, instantly washing away all our worries. Next, we entered Jurassic World. The prehistoric jungle was incredibly realistic, and the Jurassic Adventure ride vividly recreated the dinosaur world. Lifelike dinosaurs seemed to come right up to us – thrilling and fun. The gentler Soaring Over Jurassic offered a panoramic view of the entire park, a truly soothing and relaxing experience. The most anticipated part of the day was the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The ancient Hogwarts Castle and the retro streets of Hogsmeade Village perfectly recreate scenes from the movies. The Forbidden Journey offers an immersive magical adventure with stunning and realistic special effects, fulfilling a long-held magical dream. Unlock magical spots along the street with an interactive wand, paired with a classic Butterbeer for an unforgettable experience. In the afternoon, stroll through the adorable Minions Land. The pastel-colored buildings are cute and soothing, and the Minions' antics are lighthearted and fun, full of childlike wonder. The Kung Fu Panda area, with its traditional Chinese style, is elegant and tranquil, perfect for relaxation and experiencing the unique charm of Chinese fairy tales. The evening parade is lively and grand, with enthusiastic performers creating a joyful atmosphere that infects everyone. As night falls, the Hogwarts Castle light show is dazzling and dreamlike, with flowing light and shadow that amazes the audience. A day trip is short yet fulfilling. Universal Studios is more than just an amusement park; it's a gentle haven to escape the mundane. Here, we can temporarily let go of our stress and be carefree again. This passionate and romantic journey has filled me with energy and become a precious and beautiful memory in my life.

There are two hot springs in the Baihualin Hot Spring Valley, both of which are pretty good. This is a photo of the Hot Spring Valley Hotel. There is also artificial snow in the outdoor hot spring pool, which is real snow. Check-in and take photos are very photogenic.
