Beijing Wildlife Park

4.7/5
34k reviews

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.

The Badaling Great Wall is a highly 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 northwestern passage to the capital. The pass city is trapezoidal in shape, narrow in the east and wide in the west, with two gates, east and west. The east gate bears the inscription "Juyong Outer Town," and the west gate bears the inscription "Key to the North Gate." Both inscriptions remain clearly legible to this day. Extending north from the pass is the North Wall, along which more than ten watchtowers are distributed; to the south is the South Wall, which has fewer watchtowers. North Tower 8 is the highest point of the entire section, at over 1,000 meters above sea level, and from its top you can overlook the magnificent sweep of the wall winding along the mountain ridges. The North Wall has higher terrain and steeper slopes with open views, and is the main route for most visitors; the South Wall is relatively gentle and less crowded, making it suitable for visitors who want to take photos at a relaxed pace and avoid the crowds. If time permits, walking the South Wall first and then the North Wall is a more leisurely arrangement. Badaling Great Wall is also one of the earlier sections of the wall opened to the public. The top surface of the wall is paved with square bricks, and the widest parts can accommodate five horses walking side by side. Defensive structures such as battlements and arrow holes are well preserved, and walking along it gives a direct sense of the construction standards of Ming Dynasty border defense works. In fall, layers of red leaves on the mountains contrast beautifully with the gray brick wall, making it a season that many photography enthusiasts travel specifically to capture. ▲Travel through 600 years of gilded splendor and encounter the visual shock of crimson red leaves blanketing the mountains ▲nightAs night falls, it winds through the mountains like a brilliant golden dragon, and the ancient city wall illuminated by lights tells of the glory and mystery of a thousand years of history ▲ In winter, the Badaling Great Wall, covered in pristine white snow, winds through the mountains like a silver dragon. The golden light of dawn spills across the wall, painting a tranquil and magnificent picture.

Prince Kung's Palace Museum

4.8/5

Prince Kung's Palace Museum is located by the Shichahai lakeside and stands as one of the best-preserved princely mansions from the Qing dynasty in Beijing. It originally served as the residence of Heshen, a powerful official during Emperor Qianlong's reign. After Heshen's downfall, the property was granted to Prince Qing Yonglin, and later to Prince Gong Yixin during the Xianfeng era, hence the name "Prince Kung's Palace." This mansion witnessed the entire decline of the Qing dynasty, earning the saying "One Prince Kung's Palace, half the history of the Qing dynasty." The complex features a mansion in the front and a garden at the rear, both laid out along central, eastern, and western axes with meticulous order and grandeur. The mansion consists of multiple siheyuan courtyards connected along a central axis: The central Yinan Hall, roofed with green glazed tiles, follows the specifications of a prince's main hall. On the eastern route, the two-courtyard complex of Ledao Hall and Duofu Pavilion once served as the residence of Heshen's son Fengshen Yinde and Princess Hexiao of the Gulun rank, with Ledao Hall later becoming Prince Gong's living quarters. The western route features delicate refinement, with Xijin Study standing out particularly – its partitions are entirely made of exquisitely carved nanmu wood, modeled after the Ning Shou Palace in the Forbidden City. This extravagant construction later became one of Heshen's listed crimes. At the mansion's end stands a two-story elongated building commonly called "Ninety-nine and a half rooms," its rear wall punctuated by a row of variously shaped decorative windows. Legend claims this was the treasure vault and marks the boundary between mansion and garden. The garden, named Cuijin Garden, was reconstructed by Prince Gong's commissioned artisans, blending the charm of Jiangnan landscapes with northern architectural layouts. Its three marvels are the Western-style gate carved from white marble, the stele inscribed with the character "Fu" (blessing) by Emperor Kangxi, and the grand all-wood theater. Hidden in the Secret Cloud Cave within rockeries, the "Fu" stele conceals wishes for numerous descendants, abundant harvests, talent, longevity, and blessings in its strokes—easily missed if one isn't attentive. The theater, an enclosed wooden structure, reportedly projects vocals throughout without amplification. Bat motifs dominate the garden's "blessing" theme: the Bat Pool, Bat Hall, and painted beams interplay harmoniously. From the Moon-Inviting Platform, visitors overlook the entire garden, while the Winding Stream Pavilion preserves the refined legacy of ancient floating wine cup poetry. When touring, you may first follow the central axis to see the mansion, then pass through the western gate to enter and appreciate the garden in detail. There are usually more travelers visiting during holidays, so it's advisable to start early and allow enough time to slowly savor the history and details of this princely mansion.

This place was way cooler than I expected! As an American I thought it would be like a normal zoo, WRONG! A couple things really shocked me. First, you can feed almost all of the animals which is cute and hilarious. This also allows you to get up pretty close to them, while also keeping them active. Second, you can take a bus through habitats with tigers, bears and wolves! They come right up to the bus, which is so cool to see. Third, they had a time for feeding Siberian tigers which was amazing to see. they have other shows taking place throughout the park as well. Overall, this place was way more than I expected and is definitely worth a visit.

The guide's explanation of the Forbidden City was very comprehensive. The red walls and yellow tiles of the buildings were tall and majestic; it felt like every brick was telling an ancient story. This was far more impressive than looking at pictures in history books.

Sanyi Palace is perfect for a Three Kingdoms fan like me, as there are many stories about the glorious deeds of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in the courtyard; however, the courtyard is densely covered with greenery and has a large number of mosquitoes. If you visit in the summer, be sure to bring mosquito repellent spray and long-sleeved clothing for protection. I got bitten several times during my visit 😂😂😂.

Since I was in Beijing, I had to visit the Great Wall. The scenery there is irreplaceable. Taking the cable car up felt short, but it saved me a lot of energy, allowing me to use it for climbing the Great Wall. 😀 The Great Wall winds its way up and stretches far into the distance, it's truly magnificent. I heard that some sections of the northern route are currently under renovation.

Parking is available at the free parking lot in front of the Gao Family Courtyard; the North Pagoda gate is just over 100 meters away. Buying a combined ticket is the best option, including both the North and South Pagodas and the Gao Family Courtyard. The North Pagoda, one of the Liao Dynasty twin pagodas, is actually called the Yunju Temple Pagoda. The "Twin Pagodas in the Sunny Sky" is one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Zhuozhou. Most pagodas are of odd numbers, but this one is a 6-story, 56-meter-tall stupa. It's actually 7 years younger than the South Pagoda; they're not twins! Unfortunately, climbing the pagoda is no longer allowed.

Teacher Liu, the top scholar from Beijing, gave an excellent tour of the Temple of Heaven! He is well-versed in the ancient architectural culture and sacrificial rites of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Circular Mound Altar, and the Echo Wall. His explanations are easy to understand and his pace is relaxed, allowing us to appreciate the wisdom of the ancients within the Temple of Heaven. We gained a lot from the experience!

Xiucai Shuo (a popular online forum) recommends Jiang Shangyi for her tour of Prince Gong's Mansion. Her explanations are concise and to the point, rich in detail, and her service is impeccable, with a constant smile. Early winter at Prince Gong's Mansion, with its red walls and yellow leaves, is perfect for taking photos. I highly recommend visiting Xiucai Shuo and seeing Jiang Shangyi for a unique experience of Prince Gong's Mansion!
