"The Dragon Head"
This is where the famous wall ends at the sea. Most of this wall has been rebuilt but there are still some areas where they kept the original brick intact and protected. About 50rmb charge for the wall, beach side and areas around. Other activities cost a little extra but I didn't do them. Great place for taking pictures and lots of walking around. There is also a nice maze you can enjoy getting lost in. About 1.5hrs from Beijing or Tianjin on the bullet train. A day spent here should be enough.

The head of old dragon is the first gate of the Great Wall... about 20 minutes drive from Qinhuangdao (15 km) taxi will cost you about 45 RMB and the ticket 50 RMB, do not missed the first path of the Great Wall, recommend to take a jet ski to see the head of the old dragon from the sea side as well as to have a walk inside the park next to the monument. China and Greece are some of countries around the world with years of history

Pius H — Google review
Great site and scenic spot. Lots of good picture spots. Cheap entrance fee of 20 RMB as of 04/2019. The beach is beautiful and the breeze from the sea refreshing. The part of the wall is rather small but there is a reconstructed garrison and village. It's easy to get there by Bus 25 (have small change ready because it's only 2 RMB and the driver does not go be change) from the train station. In Apt l it was almost empty and really nice to explore so I cannot say what it is like when packed. Worth a day trip from Beijing.

Laolongtou ('Old Dragon's Head') is where the east end of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty meets the Bo Sea. It's part of the Shanhai Pass Great Wall defense system covering mountains, sea, plain, and town.
The Great Wall at Laolongtou is like a huge dragon lying with its head on the beach and mouth in the sea. The square watchtower on the beach looks uncannily like a raised reptilian skull when viewed at a distance, along with the seaward wall extension, resembling a mouth, and the narrower landward wall resembling a neck.
Rolando Arturo Marquez Ramos — Google review
It's covered with tourists, it costs too much and lacks any feeling of authenticity. By all means go because it is unique, but don't expect to find it magical in any way.

(Translated by Google) I give this place full marks! Let’s talk about the ticket price first. It’s 100 for adults in peak season, half price for students, and only 25 in off-season! It can be said to be very conscientious, and the quality is also very high, especially in the wild animal area where there are many animals. There are about 6 or 7 of each type of lions, tigers, and bears. Unlike other zoos where the animals can't move. The animals here are very active, at least they are walking around. The lion rubbed against our cage car, and a tiger came over and lay on the railway track. The sika deer are free-range, so you can get close to them, and no one charges. I also I took a photo with the sika deer. The only thing that needs to be improved is the safety issue. The wolves seem to be free-range...really won't escape? The two iron gates in the beast area actually open and close at the same time? ? ? Then there is no point in building two doors! ! !

这个地方我给满分!先说说票价,旺季成人100,学生半价,淡季只要25!可以说是非常良心了,而且质量也非常高,尤其是猛兽区动物非常多,狮子、老虎、熊大概每种都有6、7只的样子,不像别的动物园的动物帕着不动,这里的动物都很活跃,至少走来走去的,狮子蹭着我们的笼子车,还有只老虎走过来趴铁轨上,梅花鹿是散养的,可以近距离接触,也没有人收费,我还和梅花鹿照了相。唯一有待提高的就是安全性问题,狼看起来都是散养...真的不会跑出来?猛兽区的两道铁门竟然是一起开关???那建两道门都啥用!!!

The admission cost to the Huangyaguan Great Wall Scenic Area Ticket Selling Hall is 65RMB, with a discount of half-price for individuals over the age of 60 who possess a passport. Accommodation nearby without meals costs approximately $30 per night. The Taipingzhai village can be reached via transportation provided by Li Bo Farmhouse for 15RMB per person.
Two hour taxi from Tianjin, worth the long drive, 100RMB gets you entry plus a bus ride one way. Then a 2-3km walk back to the main visitor center. 40 degree day made the walk hard as there are a lot of uneven steps. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes for going up and down stairs. Water and refreshments are available to purchase along the walk.

A definite must for any visitor to China. How can one miss out on a visit to one of the 7 wonders of the world? Plan and time your travels carefully to avoid the usual massive crowds of the Chinese public holidays. Coming on the off season as I've did, rewarded me the whole of Huang Ya Pass to myself this wonderful chilly (-5C) day. Allowing me to take in the sight as well as take photographs of such breath taking pictures in peace.

Never imagine before that I would be able to come to China and even visiting this Greatwall.
It was an amazing experience, the view is
stunning, the air is so fresh.
From center of Tianjin, it took around 2 hours by
car to here Huangyaguan. I recommend to come
here in the early morning around 9am, It won't be so crowded at this hour. September or October is perfect to go here, not too cold.
The wall is well maintained, the facility quite good and clean. Anyway, there is OYO here, quite surprised me.

Entrance fee is 65RMB, over 60years old half-price, need to show passport. We stayed at Li Bo Farmhouse and they offer transportation to Taipingzhai village for 15RMB each. Go early, we got there at 8am and even the vendors is not yet open. There were no one and you get the walls to yourself. The walk from Taipingzhai to Huangyaguan pass is easier than the other way round, mostly downhill, esp the last part, took us almost 5hours with a senior citizen in thr group. In town, there is shop selling Lanzhou ramen and it was good. Accomodation nearby about 30USD per night without meals. Very small town, 20mins walk from one end to another.

Beijing Nanshan Ski Village
Resort hotel
Nature & Parks
Ski & Snowboard Areas
NanShan Ski resort is only one hour drive from Beijing. We lived in Beijing between 1998 and 2015, and visited Nanshan every winter. It is perfect for kids to learn slalom or Snowboard. And me i liked going to the highest top, and doing the top slope again and again.
Jan T. Baller — Google review
Been here twice. Slope is quite short and not for people who want to do one long continuous ski. Nanshan has a lot of magic carpet for beginners to learn and practise their skills. Snow is abit rough in the mornings and can cause people to fall. The new introduction of night ski is pretty great. Equipments are quite old and of inferior quality. Improvements can be made but overall
, it’s not a bad ski resort.
Turbospeed Charger — Google review
Nice ski resort and home of the infamous 'Nanshan Open', the longest running snowboard contest in China, happening every year in January. If you happen to be there around mid January, you shouldn't miss it. If you have a chance, go to the top station, you have a great view up there over the whole resort & to Miyun town. You might even witness a wedding fireworks from up there in a distance! Another great way to go downhill is the toboggan run, but I'm not sure if its open the whole year thru.
Skiing/Snowboarding is surprisingly good, since the show is very dry and the slopes are always in a good condition. Mind unexperienced skiers though :)

And there are cafes and restaurants available. You can sit and watch the snow while sipping coffee and eating Chinese food or pizza.

Tianjin Binhai Aircraft Carrier Theme Park is a large military amusement park in the Binhai New Area, featuring the retired aircraft carrier Kiev from the Russian navy. The park integrates marine military and Russian culture, offering water action shows, car shows, dance performances, and parades. Visitors can tour the aircraft carrier and explore a Russia-inspired town with various dining options.
It's like Russia but in China! Good and entertaining water action show and the action car show with excellent performers. There are dance shows and a parade as well. The price of admission is about 220rmb(about 34 USD) per person. Some say it's a bit pricey but you get the water show, car show, dance show, a parade, the aircraft carrier tour and get to hang out in a nice Russia inspired town with lots of food to choose from. I think it's worth the trip if you happen to be in the TEDA/Tianjin area.

I visited here 5 years ago. An old Soviet Air Craft Carrier is built as a museum, where you have chance to see how a giant ship look like. The Chinese government bought it for the purpose of building a museum, but they did not. They use it to duplicate a real warship, a real Aircraft carrier, Liaoning.

(Translated by Google) The ticket price is really expensive, 160 yuan. After reading it, I feel it’s not worth it. The most acceptable price is 100 yuan. There are a lot of people going there during holidays. It’s okay to take your children to see it, and you can learn some knowledge about aircraft carriers, but there’s really not much to see. You can still watch the naval battle performances outside.

The 798 Art Zone is a former arms factory in Beijing that has been transformed into a vibrant hub for art, culture, and creativity. The area now houses artist studios, galleries, shops, and restaurants within its decommissioned factory buildings. Once a haven for struggling artists, the zone has gained international recognition and drawn in art buyers and tourists alike. Its Bauhaus architecture serves as an iconic symbol of Beijing's reinvention as a trendy cultural center.
This is a great spot for tourists looking for mini souvenirs for family. Also cool art galleries, cafes, drinks, and music shops. This area is highly dedicated to artist and creative beings. Love this artisan area!

The entire art district spans over a really large plot of land. For those of you that may enjoy visiting galleries here, there are a very large number of galleries available. Most are free to visit so you may take the time to slowly browse the location. For those of us that are not so interested in art, there are also alot of cafe's and restaurants that you are able to visit.
Furthermore, the grungy vibe that the location has, would provide a good variety of instagrammable backdrops for you to take some photos.
I would give myself at least 1.5 hours here.

I would give Zero star if I can. I was threatened by a soap shop owner inside 798 Art zone. The owner wasn’t happy that HK people went inside her shop, then she call her husband and brother to come. I had been put under home arrested. When her brother arrived, he chokehold me. I was scared and couldn’t breathed then I bite his arm and he said, “she hurts me now, call police.”
When the police arrived, I request to go hospital and have assessment because of chokehold, but police refused and said, “they report you hurt them, perpetrator can’t request anything.”
When I arrived police station, I was asked to pay USD$900 by a China police sergeant. I was shocked of the corruption between the shop and police and I refused to pay any money. Luckily, some of friends were lawyers and reporters in Beijing. I called them secretly for help. The police kept me for 1 night 2 days detention and threatened me “no pay no release”. Finally, the police didn’t charge me any crime and released me.
It’s terrible experience in 798 Art zone.
Lotus Bee — Google review
A nice escape from the hustle and bustle of Beijing. The area is free to access and is dotted with beautiful wall art, graffiti, and modern art museums. Most of the museums are free while some require a small entrance fee. Although it takes about an hour to get to from the city center, it's a breath of fresh air to see a blend of Western and Chinese artwork and decor. There are little handicraft, DIY shops, and a plethora of modern cafes for you to sit and enjoy a tea or coffee in. Make sure to take the time to explore the area thoroughly as it's broken up into multiple art zones and doesn't just consist of the 798.

This is an abandoned industrial area that is now converted into an art district. There are murals, wall arts, sculptures, graffiti all over this area. The eateries and small coffee shops make this place unique and happening that any art lover will love to visit and experience the atmosphere.

The Chaoyang Theater in Beijing is a must-visit for an evening of thrilling entertainment. The "Kingdom of Acrobatics" show at this massive 3000 square meter theater hall offers a mesmerizing display of traditional Chinese acrobatic feats, featuring stunning stunts and graceful choreography that captivate audiences of all ages. Located in the Chaoyang District, this renowned venue has hosted various performances including Peking Opera and cross talk shows.
Fantastic performance, I recommend the first rows, we admired the whole performance from there. I wanted to make videos but I couldn't because I was just staring. They are very professional actresses and actors and acrobats who have won many awards. At the end of the performance, it is worth buying a book from them, which contains the entire performance on a DVD, or a gift box with photos and also the performance on a USB. I recommend to everyone.

This seemed like a tourist attraction that would be cheesy when we purchased tickets; but it actually was a magnificent showcase of talent. You won’t realize until the end just how many people are in the show; as it seems like there are many small groups who perform the different acts. The show lasts an hour and you will see high energy tricks performed by young men jumping through high hoops; or riding motorbikes while doing tricks; or young girls balancing their entire body weight using their mouths. We sat in row 3 and could see the work going into the show on the faces of the young performers. Was a fun evening out in Beijing.
Esther — Google review
Truly an incredible performance. Every act was exciting and awesome to watch. If you're travelling to Beijing this is well worth it.
We went on a Thursday night and the auditorium was about 3/4 full. We had seats in the middle of the hall (just in front of the middle walkway) and they were great.
Seats are wide enough but leg room is a little small if you're over 6ft.

The Chaoyang Theatre is a massive 3000 square meter theatre hall built in 1984 with both downstairs and upstairs seating which can facilitate up to 1400 spectators. The theatre specialized in acrobatic shows has also hosted Peking Opera and cross talk performances.
The Theatre is located in the Chaoyang District of Beijing, China. Chaoyang meaning 'facing the sun' is home to the central business district as well as most foreign embassies.
The acrobatic show was wonderful and one of the best I have ever seen. Surely it will give you a run for your money. It is a well known fact that the Chinese people excels in acrobatics and this show will prove it to you.

Full of little easter eggs of American pop-culture, but Americanized. There is so much to look at, do, and it's overall a pleasant experience to walk through the park. Additionally, everything in the gift shops are very affordable. Highly recommended if you are an amusement park / theme park enthusiast!

I recently visited an amusement park in Beijing and I have to say, it was absolutely a blast. I have been there twice now and both times were great. The park boasts a wide variety of roller coasters that are truly awesome. The best part is, once you pay at the gate, almost all the rides inside the park are free. The only downside is that the queues can get quite long, but trust me, it's all worth the wait.
I highly recommend visiting the park early so you can spend the whole day there. The park offers a great selection of rides and attractions that will keep you entertained for hours on end. The park also has a variety of restaurants and eateries, so you can be sure that all your food and drink needs will be taken care of.
Overall, I would give this amusement park a 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Beijing. The rides are thrilling and the park is well-maintained and clean. The staff is also friendly and helpful. A great day out for families, friends or couples.

The 天津之眼 or Tianjin Eye is a 120-meter tall Ferris wheel located above the Hai River that glows with vibrant colors at night. A ticket for one trip costs around 70 Yuan, and the wheel rotates continuously at a slow speed, taking approximately 30 to 45 minutes for one round.
Very beautiful especially at night. It is supposed to be the biggest Ferris wheel over the bridge in the whole world. It costs $10 USD to take it. It moves slowly and you can see nearby landscapes once above. The waiting line is very short off season. The ride takes 45 minutes. It looks a lot nicer at night than during the day.

I visited this giant wheel during my weekend trip to Tianjin. You have to buy a ticket costing 70 Yuan for one trip. The wheel keeps on rotating with slow speed all the time and you need to get in quickly. It takes around 30 to 45 mins for one round. The city view from the top of the wheel is spectacular. Overall design and location of this world's 4th largest wheel is a true masterpiece. The wheel design is like an inverted bicycle wheel. In the evening you can see a pink colored image of the giant wheel in the river from bridge when whole of the Tianjin is illuminated with luminaries.

A perfect place to have a city view. Unfortunately it is too crowded. If you plan to visit, you have to make sure it is not weekend and you have arrived earlier, secured ticket. We tried two times in different occasions. Unfortunately we were unable to get in. It hs time limitation, in the evening, it gets closed.
However you would have good view, if it is summer, you can enjoy boat ride.

spent about 3.5 hours standing in a line to get on the top. It was beautiful, but the view was quit expected. To ride a circle takes about 25 minutes, the ticket price was 70RNB per person.
The Ancient Cultural Street Parking Lot is a convenient place to park when visiting the historic area. It offers easy access to the ancient cultural street and its many attractions, making it a great starting point for exploring the area. The parking lot provides a safe and secure place to leave your vehicle while you immerse yourself in the rich history and vibrant atmosphere of the ancient cultural street. With its central location, it's an ideal spot for tourists looking to delve into the local culture and heritage.
5 stars service, each room provided all the essentials items like tea bags, water, the mini soap has rose petal, and the 2 in 1 (shower+shampoo) washing gel smelled nice.
Con: Check in procedure was long for foreigner, they were not familiar with the passport thing.
Pro: Clean and comfortable room. Great location, 15mins walk from the train station, many restaurants available downstairs. We have flight at night, but need to check out before noon, but we’re welcome to stay in the lobby, and beverage is available downstairs, they also provide desktop computers. (WiFi is available, but login processes is kinda odds)

The Tianjin Museum is a sleek building housing a large and diverse collection of Chinese artifacts and art, many of which are related to the city of Tianjin. It offers an in-depth look into the history of Tianjin, including its transformation into a cosmopolitan city and its past involvement in events such as the Opium Wars. The museum's unique architectural structure resembles that of a swan spreading its wings, adding to its allure.
Tianjin Museum is by far the largest museum of such kind in China. It is more than hundred years old as it started its journey in 1908. The museum is five storied, plus one basement. It has a cafetaria, as well as a nice souvenir shop. The middle area, where there is a staircase, is huge and gives a bold public character to the building. There is a huge courtyard in front of the museum. It now houses relucs, artworks, artifacts to show the rich culture, heritage and history of Tianjin region.

Not a lot of stuff, but definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, especially since it's free. Go on a weekend, they'll have more services available then. Beautiful architecture. Don't forget to go to the art museum next to it! Some great works on display, especially oil paintings by Wang on the second floor.

This was an awesome trip. The bus ride from Gu'An alone was worth the price of admission. Authentic rural China experience. I was the only Westerner on the whole lake. The boat ride was a fun ride through lotus covered waters. After the boat ride, we disembarked for a great locally sourced and prepared family style dinner. Not a Michelin star cuisine or ambiance experience, but certainly delicious.

Stone arch bridge thought to have been completed in 605 AD, featuring carved dragons & flowers.
I love this bridge dearly for all of the wonderful things this bridge has done for me. It has raised me as one of its own, taught me, and made me the man I am today. If I could I would give this bridge a thousand stars for all of the wondrous and amazing ways this bridge has been a father figure in place of my real father who went to get milk many years ago.

Gray Parkey — Google review
(Translated by Google) The restoration of this bridge is a disaster in the history of ancient building protection. Not a single part of the old bridge was demolished, and the bright new bridge was built from the ground up. It can be said that today's Zhaozhou Bridge has only one connection with the original monument: the original site. This kind of repair/reconstruction thinking is simply a fool's level catastrophe. After the restoration that year, it was also criticized by academic circles, and lessons were learned from this and established that the restoration of historical monuments should follow the principle of "restoring the old as before". Here are some hand-drawn structural drawings and photos taken by Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin during their inspection in the 1940s as a token of their respect.

这座桥的修复,是古建保护史上的一场灾难。旧桥拆的一处不剩,全新建造了如今这座光亮的新桥。可以说,今天这座赵州桥和原古迹仅有一处相关:原址。这种修复/重建思维,简直是傻子级别的浩劫。当年修复以后,亦受到学界批评,并从此汲取教训确立了古迹修复应遵循“修旧如旧”的原则。现提供几张梁思成、林徽因夫妇于1940年代考察时手绘结构图和照片,以示凭吊。

Millennium City Park in Kaifeng is a historical cultural theme park that offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the prosperity and local culture of the Northern Song Dynasty. Located in the northwest of the old city, this park provides a great experience of historic Chinese culture and local traditions.
Great experience of historic Chinese culture and local traditions. Awesome shows and gift shops. They also have a food court that has great noodles. They also have employees walking around with traditional street food items.
Horse show. Naval war performance. Dress up in traditional wear. Whip performance. Dances. Chicken fights. Ample underground parking.
It was quite hot and there is a lot of walking. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes. Bring some food and snacks.

QY Shao — Google review
It's a park that built based on classical Chinese painting "Qingming Shang He Tu" or in english "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" which captures the daily life of people and the landscape of the northern song dynasty capital city, bianjiang (now:kaifeng).
The buildings, bridges, city walls and docks in the park are made exactly the same as in the painting. You can find that the workers and staff there are also wear clothes and accessories like they're one of the song dynasty's people.
If you want to dress like them, the park also have some stall that rent out dresses and clothes for man, woman and kids. They also offer photo service if you wanted to take some picture wearing that clothes.
The park also provides many interesting shows that can be watched for free, such as a story about one of the famous hero in Chinese history, Yue Fei. If you want to watch the show, please pay attention to the show schedule and don't be late, because they will close the gate when the performance starts.
Overall, this park is very interesting and worth to go. But unfortunately, when I went there, it was a foggy day..so I couldn't enjoy the park to the fullest.

Yuntai Mountain is an idyllic location with breathtaking scenery and stunning landscapes. It's highly recommended to spend a minimum of three days here to fully explore the area, which boasts clean and well-maintained facilities. The mountain's beauty is unparalleled and definitely worth visiting, despite not necessarily offering any new or groundbreaking experiences. The views of the mountains are truly mesmerizing and warrant a return trip in the future.
Great place to refresh your mind. Amazing scenary with wonderful landscape. Better you stay here so you can explore for 3 days. The toilet quite clean.

The Henan Museum showcases a vast collection of artifacts made from bronze and jade, along with ancient pottery pieces. The museum also has an exhibition dedicated to the study of astronomy in ancient China. Although the main pyramid structure was closed during our visit, there were other buildings open that featured exhibits worth exploring. One can traverse Chinese history in just two hours at this museum which offers free admission.

Shaolin Temple is a famous Buddhist temple that holds a significant place in the history of kung fu. It boasts of hundreds of ancient pagodas and is renowned as the birthplace of this martial art form. The temple offers a full pass that provides access to all activities, including an impressive demonstration worth watching. If you plan on buying a sword there, be mindful if taking public transportation.

Since a child the Shaolin temple had been on my list of places to visit and it was worth visiting, but there was a touch of 'cheesiness' about it too. The history was astounding and the temples around the site were very decorative and nice, but it is a ‘working’ site, so busy and bustling. The show is worth a watch, as training monks of, some very young, show off their martial arts skills, weapon use and general contorted body positions that will amaze you. We arranged a private taxi to take us to the site – you certainly need a full day to walk around everything. The site itself is beautifully set within lovely Henan Province countryside with large mountains surrounding it. Make sure you visit the temples and sights on the periphery that tend to be overlooked – well worth it. For example, make sure to see the ‘Pagoda forest’, which is both eery and stunning.

3. Super touristy. Thousands of people flocking here with huge tour groups, tons of vendors and stalls selling kung fu figures, ice cream, taking photos.
4. Bored monks. More like tour guides and clerks. The young disciples had tracksuits on and looked more like a gym class than anything.
5. Kung fu show was 30 minutes long and fun to watch. A lot of audience participation and crowd pleasers with superhuman feats.

So I posted a lot of videos and pictures of various things inside the scenic area as opposed to just the temple. What you make of this place depends on your interpretation. If you’re like me and you love Chinese culture and Wuxia and stuff this is great as it is a culturally significant place. If it weren’t for that it’s really just a temple and a mountain with a few extra features which is still fine but nothing to rave about.

Took didi from Zhengzhou to shaolin, and back too. Cost about RMB200 each.
Mixed feeling on this tour. Before heading over was very enthusiastic since being a 金庸 fans, with what we read and saw on TV about Shaolin. I guess it all started wongly when we agreed to have a “tour guide” following us. It’s like the UGLY side of Tourism Scam. These are so called “knowledgeable” guide who will share with you the details of this historical site and charge a mere RMB100 for their service, but sadly, bring you to all sorts of corners where you will fork out more money for joss sticks, prayers, “donations”, gifts etc very willingly. They even end the tour asking if you want to see 舍利子 but is actually a small temple outside where more con men awaits.
Suggestions for friends coming over. Just head over with your passport and get the entrance ticket RMB80. After that, pay another RMB25 for a tram ride (the guide say you have to walk 3km if not). Don’t get joss sticks in front of the temple, that’s another (at least) RMB100. Just head inside and there are free joss sticks and donation is at free will. Don’t go inside those smaller corners like 观音庙, theres monk that do “special prayer” and likewise charges a nominal. Don’t ever go for those name fortune telling. It have a price list there but they tends to overcharge.
There’s a kungfu performance by monks, but you have to pay RMB30 to go in. It’s a 30 mins performance and starts at 2pm. I think it’s worth the additional.
It is a great experience. Experiencing the great history but the bad tourist experience…

It was an amazing trip full of beautiful sights. Climing to the Dharma statue was a tough adventure and a memorable highlight. At the temple, we got to witness monks during a ceremony. Everyone was friendly. Unfortunately, there were a lot of new structures in the complex that are not historical, and it has been highly commercialized as well. After paying admission, a lot of things cost extra, like the tram ride, fee for watching kung-fu show, etc. There were some English signage, but not a lot of info in English, so I suggest going with someone who can speak/read Chinese.

Really cool place! If you get the chance to go I would definitely recommend it! And get the full pass. It will get you access to everything, including the demonstration, which was so cool! Be careful buying a sword there if you have to take a train. Thankfully we were able to take care of it. The hike up the mountain is hard but totally worth it! Be sure to give yourself a lot of time there. There is a lot of cool things to see and experience!

There’s a kungfu performance by monks, but you have to pay RMB30 to go in. It’s a 30 mins performance and starts at 2pm. I think it’s worth the additional.
It is a great experience. Experiencing the great history but the bad tourist experience…

Nice place but used to monetise and didn’t live up to the name. How can vegetarian food costs RMB50 pp? So crazily overpriced.

It was an amazing trip full of beautiful sights. Climing to the Dharma statue was a tough adventure and a memorable highlight. At the temple, we got to witness monks during a ceremony. Everyone was friendly. Unfortunately, there were a lot of new structures in the complex that are not historical, and it has been highly commercialized as well. After paying admission, a lot of things cost extra, like the tram ride, fee for watching kung-fu show, etc. There were some English signage, but not a lot of info in English, so I suggest going with someone who can speak/read Chinese.

Really cool place! If you get the chance to go I would definitely recommend it! And get the full pass. It will get you access to everything, including the demonstration, which was so cool! Be careful buying a sword there if you have to take a train. Thankfully we were able to take care of it. The hike up the mountain is hard but totally worth it! Be sure to give yourself a lot of time there. There is a lot of cool things to see and experience!
The Yueyang Tower is an old structure designed with a rooftop adorned with yellow tiles that resemble the headgear of a Chinese commander. This historical attraction holds significant cultural value and has captured the attention of many visitors. The building's unique architecture and intricate design are highly praised, making it a must-visit destination for those interested in traditional Chinese artistry. The tower offers breathtaking panoramic views of its surroundings, providing tourists with a memorable experience that they'll cherish forever.
Have a look, worthy it. Nice sunset from here.
