For a peaceful option near Beijing, explore the Mu Tian Yu Chang Cheng park. This area features an excellently maintained segment of the Great Wall of China with guard towers that is easily accessible using a cableway and luge ride. While the scenery might not be as striking as at Badaling, it offers an escape from the crowds that typically flock to other parts of the wall.

Absolutely amazing. I am so lucky to had chance to walk on the Grate wall. I got opportunity to visit the
Grate wall on summer 2018. What a experience. I will never forget it. Remember to take 2 -3 water bottles with you when you visit there.

The greatest place to take a view of the Great Wall. You can take the cable car to the top, that might be a easier choice to tour. Because of its' admirable landscape and structure, it has always be the most crowded Great Wall of all time. Ready for the crowd.
Chih-Yu Yang — Google review
A cultural heritage second to none!
Seeing and walking the 'Great Wall' is a must have being in China. With a total length of around 21k km its an outstanding construction. In this place you can walk a while after a cable car brings you to the top of a mountain. There are fantastic views both sides over the hills and mountains. We were lucky with almost nobody around us, however check the numbers of visitors upfront, as it can be extremely packed. At night the wall is being illuminated with gives a very special impression. Don't miss to go there when around!

It is the Great Wall of China so of course five stars. A mind boggling achievement that inspires awe. Besides the Great Wall, the natural environment alone is breathtaking. Have your passport ready and prepare for the heat in August/September. There are lovely places to sit if you don't want to climb. Drinks and souvenirs to peruse.

I went very early morning (I was on the wall by 8:30am) during my 10hours layover in Beijing. It’s a one hour trip from the airport to the entrance of the wall. It will get busy as the day goes by. And in summer may get even very hot. Bring sunscreen and don’t carry bing or heavy bags. There are a lot of steps to take. You can either decide to walk up to the wall or take a chairlift. The walk is about 10-15 minutes if you are fast. The chairlift takes about 8minutes. Same thing on the way down you can either slide down (yes, there is a long slide that takes you back to the car park) or can walk down the steps. At the entrance of the wall you’ll find few stalls selling drinks and snacks and souvenirs. But the one near the car parks allow you to pay by card. Definitely worth going. I’d avoid going by bus or later in the morning as the queue can be quite long and the wall will get very crowded.

Absolutely stunning. You can spend hours just walking back and forth along the wall and taking in the amazing beauties of the area. So many different angles to view and take pictures of. Highly recommend visiting this at least once in your life, and definitely don't skip out when you're visiting China! It's truly one of the marvels of the world.

Unique experience. There is two cable cars which are transporting tourists.
Bit of advice - walk to the cable car at the end and buy one way ticket to the top. Walk on the wall to other cable car. There you can buy ticket and return down by yourself with rail sledge. There is also a path to walk to the top. It is nice and shady, but it takes time and energy, and it is best to save it for walking on the wall.

Checked off the list back in 2015 - what a gem of a place. Felt lucky after visiting this wonder of the world.
It wasn't crowded early morning in spring season. We took the chair lift to go up the top instead of going by walk because there are too many steps. If you are going in peak season then get ready for the crowd and hot weather.

The Great Wall is like an epic poem associated with the enduring will and heroic tragic history of the Chinese people. Therefore, for those who are passionate about studying history, following China Tour, you will .
The Great Wall is not one long continuous wall but also has side walls, circular walls and parallel walls. There are also parts that do not have walls but are replaced by "self-made ramparts".

Being one of the wonders of the world, this structure blows your mind by just looking at it. It's best to visit in Autumn as there are less people and the sights are even more incredible. Lots of places are steep and not so easy for children but some are less steep and just as good. I definitely recommend visiting.
Jie Ma — Google review
Well one has to experience it to feel it. Even if you are not a history enthusiast, just to feel the magnificence you should climb once. Well yes how much climbing you want to do would depend on you and if your health permits. We took cable car to a certain height (the foot of the wall) and then started to climb. The view up(more and more steep wall) and the view down(tinge of autumn foliage are both astounding. The Mutiyanu side of the wall is quite far from Beijing, so you should start early in the morning to explore all.

1- I went through very nice experience
2- there are many ways to get to the wall you have to know them.
3- wear a good shoes to walk.
4- the highest place is the cable car.
5- you will get the bus first.
6- good time is around 1 to 3 pm

Nice place to visit. Few suggestions:
1) buy tickets online in advance;
2) try to come as early as possible to avoid crowds;
3) tickets for cable car(s) and the slide down sold separately. It’s fun to go up by cable car and slide down back;
4) food and souvenirs etc are overpriced once you enter;
Enjoy the history

Loved the whole experience. I used a cable cart to go up and came down on the slide. The whole experience of walking from beginning to the end and then back to beginning was amazing. Each step that I made was not easy and it was pretty tough. The view was soo breathtaking. I would love to go back one day.

My recent visit to the Great Wall of China was nothing short of magical. It's, of course, a 5-star experience.
It became clear why the Great Wall is hailed as one of the wonders of the world – its architectural brilliance, and historical significance are nothing short of phenomenal.
Additionally, the breathtaking landscapes surrounding the wall added another layer of beauty to the experience.
I went at the perfect time; it was the end of October, and it was not crowded, with perfect weather.
It was one of the best experiences of my life, worth a visit once in a lifetime.
Lama Temple, also known as Yonghe Temple, is a magnificent Tibetan Buddhist temple complex in Beijing. Originally built as an imperial residence in 1694, it has evolved into a vibrant religious site that beautifully blends Chinese and Tibetan architectural styles. The temple's ornate design and tranquil atmosphere create a sense of reverence and spiritual contemplation.
It was a pleasure to come to such a spiritual place like this one. The colors are very rich and traditional. I truly enjoyed myself.

The most important Buddhist temple outside the Tibet.
Its very well preserved and its impressive to see it in use with the monks praying.
At the entrance they give free incense, and the idea is to put three sticks in front of the different Buddhas.
It’s very crowded, so it’s hard to appreciate or take pictures without people.
There is a huge line in the morning to go in, better go later in the day.
There is a ticket office next to the entrance you don’t need to buy them in advance.

Outside of Tibet this is probably one of the most important of the Tibetan Buddhist temples. It is well worth seen and is easily access via the subway. Entrance price is not very expensive. Make sure you pick up the incense on your way in which they give you for free. Then you will have multiple opportunities to join the people who are burning incense at the various devotional sites in the temple. The giant carved sandalwood Buddhist statue is really amazing!

Lama Temple is the household name of Yonghe Temple. It is a Tibetan Buddhist Temple, and the largest among such temples in Central China. Initially, during the Ming Dynasty it was a part of the Royal Court as court eunuchs used to live there. Later on, even emperor lived there. At the end of sixteenth-century it became a place for worship. It is so historic that during the civil war, it had a prominent role. It sheltered many. It is now one of the major tourist attractions, as well as functional temple, particularly popular with younger Chinese population. There is a sandalwood sculpture of Matreyi Buddha whose name is entered in Guiness Book of Records as the largest such a sculpture. The temple complex is more than half kilometer long. There are five courtyards one after another. There are halls in between. The Buddha images are restored inside the hall. The devotees pray facing these halls. The authority supplies incense sticks.

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.

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.

The Temple of Heaven is a renowned temple complex dating back to 1420, known for its distinctive circular buildings set in a popular park. It's located in the Dongcheng district of Beijing, which is an ideal area for accommodations due to its proximity to historical sites like the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. The district also offers attractions such as Jingshan Park for nature lovers and the Wangfujing pedestrian mall for shopping enthusiasts.

Built by Ming dynasty Emperor in AD 1420, a sacred temple to pray for good harvest. Temple looked massive & beautiful with three tiers of blue circular roofs; temple was also circular nearly 120 feet in diameter & 125 feet tall. Roof was supported with inner four huge round & wooden pillars, outer 12 & outermost 12 pillars constructed without using any nails. Roof & ceiling were painted in blue- the color of heaven & huge wooden pillars was in red. Temple was built on three decks of marble stone platform; southern side was single tiered rounded temple called Emperor Vault. Premises of the temple was large with good parking area. Renovation & cleanliness was excellent.

Still my favourite spot in Beijing. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest is probably one of the most perfect buildings in the world, just looking at it will give you a sense of calm, even though there will likely be thousands of people around. But then if you wander out to the more remote corners of the park, the crowds will suddenly disappear and you can enjoy the atmosphere, maybe watching some locals playing games.

The Temple of Heaven is one of the top tourist attractions in Beijing, and a very popular destination for the local people. It is situated two to three km south of Tienanmen Square. The temple complex is huge. Including park, it is around three km square. Apart from the surrounding park, the temple has three parts, the main temple, the imperial vault and a sacred mound altar. The temple is initially constructed at the beginning of 14th century by Ming Dynasty for conducting worship by the royal court. Later on, Qing Dynasty also continued praying here for a good harvest. The architecture of this place has a resounding influence on Chinese architectural pattern. The square was the symbol of earth, and circle for heaven. It is visited by thousands of people each hour round the year.

The Temple of Heaven, also known as the Tiantan Park, is an iconic religious complex located in Beijing, China. It is one of the most significant and well-preserved imperial temples in the country. The temple was originally constructed in the early 15th century during the Ming Dynasty and underwent expansions and renovations during subsequent dynasties.
The Temple of Heaven was built as a place of worship where emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties would perform solemn rituals and offer sacrifices to ensure good harvests and blessings for the Chinese people. The layout of the complex reflects the belief in the connection between heaven and earth in Chinese cosmology.
The temple complex covers an area of approximately 273 hectares (675 acres) and consists of various structures and architectural marvels. The main structures within the Temple of Heaven include the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Imperial Vault of Heaven, and the Circular Mound Altar. These buildings are characterized by their unique architectural style, intricate decorations, and use of vibrant colors.
The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is the most recognizable structure within the complex. It features a triple-gabled circular design with a blue roof and stands on a three-tiered white marble terrace. The Imperial Vault of Heaven is a smaller building located to the south of the Hall of Prayer and served as the storage place for the ceremonial tablets. The Circular Mound Altar is an open-air platform composed of three circular stone tiers, representing the heavens, earth, and humanity.
The Temple of Heaven is not only a religious site but also a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of Chinese culture and history. It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1998 and continues to attract visitors from around the world who come to admire its architectural splendor and explore the beautiful park surrounding the temple.
In addition to its historical and cultural significance, the Temple of Heaven Park is a recreational area where locals gather for various activities such as tai chi, dancing, and kite flying. The park provides a serene and tranquil environment for people to relax and engage in traditional pastimes.
Visiting the Temple of Heaven offers a glimpse into China's rich imperial past, architectural prowess, and traditional practices. It stands as a testament to the country's cultural heritage and remains an important symbol of Beijing and Chinese civilization as a whole.
Overall, the experience was so wonderful.

The Temple of Heaven is a complex of ritual buildings that served as the site of imperial sacrifices to the heaven god in ancient China. The temple was constructed in 1420 during the reign of the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and is considered a masterpiece of Chinese architectural design. The temple covers an area of 2.73 square kilometers and includes three main structures: the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Imperial Vault of Heaven, and the Circular Mound Altar. The temple reflects the cosmological worldview of the Chinese people, who believed that heaven was round and earth was square. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is a circular wooden structure with three tiers of roofs supported by 28 huge pillars representing the 12 months, the 12 divisions of the day, and the four seasons. The hall was used by the Ming and Qing emperors to offer prayers and sacrifices to the heaven god for bountiful crops. The Imperial Vault of Heaven is a smaller circular building that houses the tablets of the heaven god and his ancestors. The Circular Mound Altar is an open-air platform with three levels of marble stones arranged in a circular pattern. The altar was used by the emperors to perform ceremonies on the winter solstice, when they would kneel on the central stone and communicate with the heaven god.

The King worshiped for good harvest that the Temple of heaven reflects the old culture of Chinese. Good place to vijit in Beijing with kids and family. The flower garden inside it is the most beautiful and you should not miss the same.

Thought the temple only has the central structure and allocated 2h for visit. Ended up spending an entire day exploring the entire park facilities, garden and snapping the temple from different angles, at different timing. Truly enjoyed my day! Presumably more enjoyable than Forbidden City itself given the lesser crowd!
Oh yes, advance booking needed. Do purchase digital ticket in advance!

This Temple, Tian Tan PinYin! Or simply, Temple of Heaven. This is a religious Imperial Building in the Southwestern part of Central Beijing. Emperors from Qing and Ming Dynasties do come here for a good harvest prayer.

The huge temple grounds are wonderful to walk around. The main buildings are all under renovation, and the effect of the original setting is totally lost right now. The lower half of the temples are covered by screens that are painted to look like the real thing. The side buildings are completely covered by metal screening so their exteriors are not seen at all. It will be a huge disappointment if you're expecting to see the real buildings. You can still enjoy the wonderful grounds and the setting though.

This is one of my favorite places that I had the possibility to visit across my trip in China, It is so wonderfully and magnificently designed that it seems out of this world. And it was probably even more many years ago when it wasn't crowded with tourists.
It looks unreal from outside and inside and resembles a vessel taking you directly to or communicating with Heaven or wherever whichever dimension or space time.
This art and display of timeless imagination seems to have been lost many decades ago. And it is beatifully conserve so that we can see this wonder and wonder about it.

Temple of Heaven is within the Park of Temple of Heaven, the park is open early till late night for people taking strolls, however the Temple of Heaven is open only till 17.30, so be aware of the time. It took us 20 mins for a very quick walk from the west entrance to the ticket gate of Temple of Heaven. The lights will be lit on Friday and Saturday evening so it is really recommended to visit during late afternoon so you can get a glimp of it when it is on light. Beautiful.

The Temple of Heaven in Beijing is a top site to visit when in Beijing.
In the summertime it may be very hot but luckily you will also be able to find shade along your way around in this beautiful park.
No matter what, you will for sure enjoy this beautiful park and when you get to the temple it will not disappoint as it is very beautiful.
This location is definitely worth a visit, but remember to either buy or bring a lot of water, if you come in the summertime 🙂👍 .

Temple of Heaven is located in a public park and it should be noted that all public parks have a small fee to enter. Truly, such a minuscule amount from like $1-$3 at most. What I love is that elder individuals usually spend their time performing at parks and either singing, playing music, or both. It's fun just to spend a day and taking a lunch to watch them perform while also visiting some pretty amazing and historical temples and buildings.

Located in the middle of a big park, this place is great for a visit. The huge walking area makes it a suitable attraction to visit on a weekend. Even though the crowd is much larger, but it's size meant that you're not overwhelmed by crowd size and there's enough space for your own photos. I've attached a picture of the forbidden city taken on Friday morning for comparison. The pictures of the temple of heaven were taken the next day on Saturday morning.

Stepping into the Temple of Heaven in Beijing is like entering a serene sanctuary carved from time itself. Imposing vermilion walls and jade-tiled roofs, bathed in the glow of the morning sun, whisper tales of ancient emperors and celestial harmonies.
Heavenly Highlights:
* **Echo Wall:** Whisper a secret into the curved wall, and hear it echo back across the vast square - a playful nod to the emperor's "conversations" with the heavens.
* **Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests:** Imposing and circular, this masterpiece of Ming Dynasty architecture embodies harmony between heaven and earth. Imagine emperors humbly kneeling here, praying for bountiful harvests for their people.
* **Heavenly Vault:** Its azure-tiled dome, dotted with golden stars, mirrors the celestial sphere, reminding us of the vastness and beauty of the universe.
Take a moment to breathe in the scent of incense carried on the breeze, listen to the rhythmic chanting of monks, and observe locals practicing tai chi amidst the ancient trees. It's a place to not just see, but to feel and connect with the soul of Beijing.
The Temple of Heaven is more than just a historical landmark; it's a spiritual oasis in the heart of the city. While not as extravagant as the Forbidden City, it offers a deeper sense of tranquility and connection to the past. A must-visit for anyone seeking a glimpse into Beijing's rich heritage and a moment of inner peace.

Really cool place to visit but get there early. The crowds can be crazy and you can pretty much get crushed trying to actually see the temple itself. There's only two or three viewing ports open so everybody tries to cram in.
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.

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 :)

(Translated by Google) Nanshan Ski Resort is another beautiful ski resort in Beijing. Suitable for intermediate and advanced skiers. If anyone doesn't want to ski and snowboard Can sit and pull a sled Ride a snowmobile in the snowfields. Children can play in the snow in the DIY playground inside the ski resort. And there are cafes and restaurants available. You can sit and watch the snow while sipping coffee and eating Chinese food or pizza.
The price is not expensive ♥️

Jinshanling is a natural area that boasts a significant portion of the Great Wall of China, offering breathtaking views. This section of the wall, established in 1368 and extended in 1567, is one of the typical and complete structures from the Ming Dynasty. While partially restored, it provides a wider variety of shots compared to other sections. Despite being a 2.5-hour journey from Beijing, visitors find it worth the trip due to its serene and peaceful ambiance.
Visited late Nov2023. Though it’s 2.5 hours away from Beijing, worth the journey. Combined with day trip to gubei / Beijing water town.
Beautiful, serene, peaceful and pretty much had the wall to ourselves. Sense of history and wilderness all at once.
Takes a bit of effort to ascend to the wall but once up there - the hike was not strenuous at all (for middle aged office-bound folks who aren’t exercise buffs). Hiked from Houchuankou to General Tower in ~2.5 to 3 hours with plenty of photo stops.
Got there via private car hire - driver took us all the way to the start of hiking trail at base of the wall (else there will be another 1-2km walk from entrance of Jinshanling complex to get there)

Long before I started travelling I was dreaming of the Great Wall. Here it became reality and it didn‘t let me down. Good mix of restored and original sections. Beautiful views of the autumn coloured surrounding landscape. Less people due to a longer journey from Bejing.

The Jinshanling Great Wall was built in the Ming Dynasty, listed in the third batch of national key cultural relics protection units in 1988. Jinshanling Great Wall is a national-level scenic spot and a national 5A-level tourist attraction as well at this moment!
The emergence of the Great Wall allows us to see the buildings of human civilization from satellites. The greatness of the Great Wall allows us to imagine the historical trajectory of national struggle in the past. The establishment of the Great Wall let the world see the blood and tears of the Chinese nation in pursuit of survival and the greatness of the nation. You! You must visit here in person, walk on this mottled city wall, step on this collapsed mausoleum line, feel the greatness of this time and space, this world, this nation, feel all the scenery, and experience this boundless vastness. It is not in vain this life!

Well worth the extra travel required from Beijing to reach this more remote section of the Great Wall. The admission fee is fairly priced given the remoteness and how well they maintained the structure. Makes for some truly awe-inspiring hiking and exploration, You can easily spend half a day here and not see another person at all - you will feel like you were transported back in time.

Great wall is truly great. We come at East gate and did road to middle station. At the beginning there were few people and we were able to go to further parts where was nobody. Make photos and dron footage. After in direction to the main - middle part were much more crowded. It is important bro mention that further part are not renovated and access can be difficult. We choose this part of the wall because it should be least crowded.

During mid-December, the weather at Simatai Great Wall Tourist Area was chilly but ideal for visiting. The lack of crowds provided a great opportunity to explore. However, some common mistakes people made were wearing sports shoes instead of leather hiking shoes or boots. It is important to wear waterproof footwear as it prevents water and cold wind from penetrating. Sport shoes may be breathable, but they allow cold air in as well.
Was there mid of December, it was cold. In my opinion it was a great time to go. There was hardly anyone there and we had the place to ourselves.
Some mistakes I see people do is wear sports shoes. Don't do this, you will suffer. Wear leather hiking shoes/ boots. If it's waterproof it's good because of water cannot get thru, cold wind won't.
Sport shoes are breathable, if air can escape, cold air can go into too. I saw many putting heat packs into their shoes. Some ladies were stuck at the foot of the wall not being able to climb it co's they were in heels.
Think hiking when going here, on the other hand don't over insulate .. the wall is steep and it will take effort to climb. Your body will heat up as you 'exercise'.

Forget the throngs of tourists and elbow-to-elbow jostling - winter transforms Simatai Great Wall into a realm of serene, untouched grandeur. Picture this:
Snow-dusted ramparts snake across rugged mountains, their serpentine form barely distinguishable from the frosted peaks. The only footprints marring the pristine white canvas are yours and perhaps a few intrepid souls seeking solace in the hushed majesty.
Icicles cling to ancient watchtowers like crystalline guardians, their silent vigil echoing through the centuries. The wind whispers tales of emperors and warriors through crumbling battlements, painting vivid scenes in your imagination.
Breathe in the crisp, invigorating air, free from the summer's smog. The vast panorama unfolds beneath you, a tapestry of frosted pines and jade-green valleys stretching towards the horizon. Each bend in the wall reveals a new vista, a fresh canvas for your winter wonderland reverie.
Simatai in winter isn't for the faint of heart. The climb can be challenging, slick with ice and shrouded in biting winds. But conquer the elements, and you'll be rewarded with an experience unlike any other: a breathtaking communion with history and nature, etched in the solitude of a frozen wonderland.

A very beautiful section of the Great Wall with original unrestored walls. It was a bit of a drive for us, but it was worth it. Patches of snow in winter added a poetic feel. I recommend visiting now before it becomes too touristy.

Simatai is a beautiful section of the Great Wall located 2 hours away by car from Beijing city proper.
Avoid the Gubei Water Town if you are not keen on it and head straight for the ropeway to that takes you to Simatai and slowly take time to enjoy the little hike and the beautiful scenery.
If coming only for the night view, which is spectacular, then leave Beijing city about 1600 depending on traffic. Can have dinner at the many shops and restaurants at Gubei Water Town, ride the ropeway at about 1900, and enjoy the breathtaking night scene.

As we ascended in the late evening, they checked in with us and made sure our party made it safely back to the cable station before restarting the system to ride down.

Afternoon time around 4 pm is the best for visiting this great wall. You may take a bit climb up. There is a beautiful scenic spot. You will witness beauty of town and lake as well. You may stay there until the sunset and then return back. After the sunset, town lighting will give you another unforgettable look. I have few representative pictures which I am sharing with you here.

Enjoyed our visit to Gubei Water Town, traditional buildings along with river looked magnificent and had fun strolling around, though man-made, it was still great. It tooks us 5min to get to Simatai Great Wall through cable car. It was hard to walking with pushchair. It was really windy and cold on the top. It was magnificent and to be able to stand there and experience what it was like being on a centuries-old structure was just amazing! Night view is really beautiful.

According to tourism info, this is one of the great wall with very minimal restoration/renovation that open to public. Which mean you get the see the very original view of the great wall. There is different ticket for the night entry, and there is cable car which bring you up close to the tower 8. But we were told the best is hiking up, then only going down with the cable car. So we hiked up and the view is magnificent. PS, Dec 2019, less crowded compared with other season.

How to visit the Great Wall of China Simatai… I’m writing this review because there wasn’t much information online about visiting this part of the wall and it’s such a beautiful area to see it.
1. Getting there
You can take the bus or hire a taxi/private car for the day. We went to our hotel and they organised a private car. 9 hours for ¥900. I personally think that’s reasonable as it’s about 1hr40mins away from Beijing city. We left at 10:30am and arrived around 12:10pm to the wall. They driver dropped us off at the Shuizhen Hotel right by the Water Town and we could walk to the ticketing area and the rest of the town. It’s about 2 min walk from the hotel to the ticketing area.
2. The Town/ Ticketing
The Water town is a separate area and you need to book tickets to view it. I didn’t do that so I don’t know too much about it. The town where my driver dropped is off is right next to the water town. There are a lot of restaurants to eat at, there’s a Starbucks and also some convenient stores (named Lawsons) if you want to buy snacks etc. Once you’re in the town just walk straight across the bride and you will find a building called ‘The Great Wall Simatai Ticketing Information’. Inside you can buy your tickets for entrance, the cable car and also you wait there for a shuttle to take you to the wall. You can also prebook your tickets using WeChat. I just searched the Great Wall of China Simatai and then followed the steps to book my tickets. The entrance is ¥40 and then you can pay for a cable car as well. One way with entrance fee is ¥110 and return cable car with entrance is ¥180
3. Climbing the wall
The shuttle only comes as certain times to take you to the base of the wall or the cable car. Keep in mind, if it is windy the cable car will be closed as it’s dangerous (this was the case for us) so you are forced to walk up and down. We got a refund for our cable car but I don’t know if that’s always the case. Once you book the tickets you wait in the ticketing building and then take a shuttle bus. Our shuttle came at 1pm. You will need to check online for the times of the shuttle, it’s usually every hour or so. The drive to the base of the wall is about 6 mins. From the base you will need to walk to the first tower. There are 10 towers you will pass along the wall. The walk to the first tower is about 30 mins and then you go up along the wall. My friends and I took 1 hours to walk from the 1st to the 10th tower. We’re in our 20’s and reasonably fit so keep that in mind, it may take a little longer for others. There are steep sections and if it’s windy it can be extra cold on the wall. Coming down the wall takes a little less time but make sure you are back at the very base by 4:30 for the last shuttle if you are planing on walking back down.
I had a really good time, it is such a beautiful area to view. If I could have taken the cable car I recommend taking the cable car up and then walking down. The shuttle back to town is free and the views are better walking down as you can see the whole wall as you walk.
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.

Jiang Jun Guan Lu, an ancient Chinese street famed for its historical significance, is known for its rich heritage and cultural value. This renowned thoroughfare showcases a plethora of architectural marvels that reflect the grandeur of traditional Chinese design. The street's prominence lies in its numerous landmarks, including temples, pavilions, and ancestral halls that serve as testaments to China's illustrious past.
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.

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.

(Translated by Google) The entrance fee is 65 yuan. You can experience the slopes, monuments and steepness inside and outside the Great Wall. Some of the slopes are quite steep, so you have to be careful when going up and down. The whole trip is really worth it!

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.

If you like to experience colurful nights, this is one of the place you must visit at Tianjin. Please be patient with the congestion along your way though.

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.

It was winter 2012, weather is cold and everything is almost frozen. had a great view up there looking down at the frozen river.
Tickets are more expensive for passport holders (aka foreigners). Can't remember how much i paid, but it is a nice place to have the bird view of Tianjin.

It is electrically powered and has 48 passenger capsules & each capsule able to carry 8 passengers. It takes 30 minutes to a complete rotation.

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.

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 tourist attraction known as Fifth Avenue is located in a city region boasting European-style architecture and luxurious homes. This district has a significant historical background with numerous old buildings converted into restaurants and living quarters, providing visitors with a nostalgic experience right at the core of an urban hub. The area offers peaceful strolls while enjoying various architectural designs, showcasing excellent examples of pre-war European homes.
Where British settlers to Tianjin lived in the 1800s and left behind much original Euro-styled architecture mixed with unique Chinese elements such as houses built with stunning porcelain mixtures and Colosseum-like football stadiums. Modern day Wudadao (Five Great Avenues) is filled with creative concept cafes, restaurants, bars. A foodie's paradise and where much of China's Western scenes are filmed as a result of rows upon rows of original European architecture. This is only one of the global ethnic settlements located in Tianjin.

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.

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.

Probably one of the only theme parks like this in the world. It is part Russian themed and military themed. It is more of a novelty than anything and transportation options are problematic. However, it'd be a waste to miss it.

(Translated by Google) The famous aircraft carrier park houses aircraft carriers bought from Russia. You can visit every floor from the weapons depot to the upper deck and the cab. When you go there, the upper cab is closed for maintenance. If you are interested in big ships, you can go and see it. . All other song and dance performances are just gimmicks.

(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.

票價真貴,160元,看完覺得不值,最多可接受價格100元。節假日去的人很多,帶孩子去看看還可以,可以了解一些航母知識,但是可看的東西實在不算多,外面的海戰表演還是可以一看的。

Taishan Mountain, also known as Mount Tai, is a significant cultural and natural site listed as a World Heritage site. Despite not being the tallest mountain at 1545 meters, it holds great religious and historical importance. It's been revered by ancient emperors and is considered the foremost of China's Five Sacred Mountains. The Peach Blossom Ravine at its western foot is named after the abundance of peach trees found there.
A beautiful and challenging Taishan to hike either with your foot or a hybrid mode of using available cable cars/bus.
Roger Pak — Google review
Beautiful place to visit, Temperature on top of mountain is 5-10 degrees lower than ground voltage, if a person not have a good steamna to climb then better to through cable car.

Mount Taishan is one of the five Sacred mountains in China. It is situated in Tai’an city, Shandong Province. It is worth to mention that this mount is in the UNESCO world heritage sites. This is one of the most climbed mountains. The legend says that all Kings of China have had climbed this mountain and prayed for the success to the God. The best time for climbing us Summer and spring. If you want to have a nice scenery, then avoid to climb the mount in winter and Autumn. During my first climbing I could see the mountain and the city all in fog which doesn’t happen often as the locals say and only the luckiest people can be witnesses of this beauty. Another best time to visit the mountain is any night in summer because in the morning you will find an amazing sunset view if the weather is nice and not rainy. You can climb by foot which will take about 4 hours if you take a bus to the starting point. You might also take a cable car to the top which is not operating at night. In case of climbing at night be ready to experience cold on the top. Prepare tent where you can sleep and have jackets with you.

one of my great experience for visiting China, and challenged myself from the flights of stairs to see the sun rising. When you are up there, remember to rent the coat and return back at the peak of the mountain, don't bring it down like me... it was HELL.

This is an amazing and significant place that definitely marks a spotlight in the Chinese history. The emperor use to hike up for sacred offerings and prays annually. The air is so much fresher and cooler. There is hardly any vegetarian meals up here! One must stay overnight for the sunrise, it's totally mesmerizing! You can hire warm army coats from the street for the cold weather, especially the for the sunrise.

Zhoucun Ancient City Scenic Area is an extraordinary place with well-preserved historical details that showcase the influence of Chinese culture from centuries ago. The old town's stunning architecture and ancient artifacts are a testament to its rich history. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll and witness the remnants of ancient traditions, including various cultural monuments, temples, and pagodas. This national park offers a unique opportunity to explore China's past while enjoying the natural beauty of the area.
The old town is so amazing. Historical details is well kept and as we walk through the whole place I have found the influence of Chinese culture everywhere.
love it and be back soon hopefully!!!!
A moat picturesque and serene location to spend some quality time with the beauty of nature and the works of man. But, it can be an arduous trek with steep stairways and paths to negotiate.
The ancient architecture was stunning. The emense size of the Buddha was incredible, and the climb to the top was breathtaking... literally short of breath at the top!
Also, the golf was a true test of the sport. Plus, the stay at the Nanshan International Golf Center Hotel made the experience a well worth the cost... and by that, I mean a very low cost affordable luxury golf experience.

(Translated by Google) Rizhao Seaside National Forest Park is the best park in Rizhao. There are beautiful forests and wetlands in the park. It is a good choice to go to the seaside forest and breathe pure air. Go to the beach to enjoy the sun and the sea breeze, and find a restaurant to taste delicious seafood. In the evening, you can live in a hotel in the park and wait for the next sunrise to enjoy the beautiful sunrise. However, the hotel's moisture-proofing is not very good, and mushrooms are growing on the door. The park is very large, and it may be very tiring to hike in the park. You can rent a bicycle to ride in the forest, or take a horse-drawn carriage or a small train tour. There are many entertainment projects in the park, such as folk customs, acrobatic magic, small zoos and sharks. Come here in the summer, you can swim, or play sand, shells, squats, motorboats, and ATVs on the beach.

日照海滨国家森林公园称得上是日照最好的公园。公园内有景色宜人的森林与湿地,去海边森林走走、呼吸纯净空气是个不错的选择。去沙滩上能够享受阳光和海风,还可以找家餐馆品尝美味海鲜。而晚上则可以住在公园里的宾馆,等待次日去海边欣赏美丽日出。不过宾馆的防潮做的不是很好,房门上都长出蘑菇来了。公园内很大,在公园内徒步闲逛可能会很累,可以租辆自行车在林中骑行,或乘坐马车、小火车游园观光。公园里有很多娱乐项目,比如有民俗风情表演、杂技魔术等,小型动物园和鲨鱼馆等。夏季来这里,还可以游泳,或在沙滩上玩沙、捡贝壳、摸蛤蜊,坐摩托艇、沙滩车。
