    We took Mubus to see the Great wall as Mike as our guide. Mike is very knowledgeable and gives his best to ensure we have a great experience. I am impressed he goes out of his ways to give additional advise about Beijing maximising our holiday experience.

    Amazing experience and views from Victoria Peak. The tram goes up and down the track, in between the buildings which is quite spectacular in itself, but the views are awesome leading up to reaching the top. If you pay a little extra, you can also access the Sky Terrace which is an observation platform from the top of the tower which overlooks Hong Kong. Price inclusive of the Tram and Sky Terrace was around £17 per adult, return ticket. Would recommend, probably the highlight of the trip, and you’ll capture some spectacular photos. Will go again next time we visit Hong Kong. They have a quirky candy shop at the peak that sells some rather cute stuff too, including mini Tik Tacs which was a novelty when given as a gift to fellow workmates and friends.

    A must see at the waterfront area. Vibrant atmosphere and madness with people taking photos like no tomorrow. We went there at 5:00pm so we can admire both the day and night scene.
    One can take a ferry to cross the huangpu river for 2 yuan a person.
    Do keep personal stuff close due to people traffic.

    Do take a pic with the Shanghai Bull at the Bund. It’s quite similar to the one in Wall Street, New York

    Really excellent place to visit. It's hard to described how impactful it is to be there looking up at the big buddha. The monastery was also quiet lovely. There is a more touristy area outside the monastery area where you can dine and there are many souvenir shops to browse. But the monastery and the Buddha are the highlights. Wear comfortable shoes and be ready to walk up a lot of stairs if you want to go up to the top!

    Even though it’s unbelievably crowded, you can’t skip this! It’s really the Eighth Wonder of the Ancient World!!! You can easily do by yourself with public transportation.

    We entered at the west gate and left from the east gate, which was a good thing to do. Most of the tourist stuff is around the east gate. Painfully packed, even in an off day, with large tour groups and screaming guides. But the area away from that is a tranquil park. It is long walks. Don’t count on buying a meal.

    hello my fellows,
    Beijing is a city full of charm. June is warm and breezy, making people comfortable to have citywalk.
    The Forbidden City, Tian 'anmen Squre and the Great Wall are must-experiences.
    I was born and raised here, so if you need a short-term English guide to enrich your travel experience, please contact me.

    1 day was not enough to explore Disneyland.
    Be there before they open the rides and we were there around 10:10am.
    They have great performances/ show that you won't like to miss. I do recomend you to download the disney app, waiting time from each rides will be shown in the app. The newly opened "Frozen" rides and show is a must try! take note that everything has timings not all rides operates till evening.
    Foods inside is a bit expensive, but in our situation that day, we don't have time to eat because we're trying to ride everything and watch all performances/ show that they have but unfortunately in the end of the day, i guess we only missed 2 rides.
    Fireworks in the evening is worth waiting for! It will start at 8:30PM so you have to look for a good spot!

    Due to land scarcity in the city, the only option is to build up. Thus the high rise buildings for residential and commercial uses came about. During the day, it is nice to walk along the promenade and watch the skyline; much better after sun set when it gets cooler and buildings got lighted.

    Visited the fabric market to get a suit made. On the strength of other reviews we chose Jojo tailor at stall No 134.
    Jojo made the experience a fun one. Choosing the fabric, have the measurements taken and then the suit was ready on time for a fitting.
    Beautifully made and excellent quality, the suit required a little adjustment for a perfect fit. We were leaving the next day, and the altered suit, plus 3 business shirts we decided to add on, were delivered to our hotel on time the next morning.
    A fantastic experience and we highly recommend Jojo.

    This was a great morning out! We saw so many pandas!!! We arrived by taxi from our hotel just after 8am. We booked our tickets through Travel China - we just needed our passports to get in. There were no queues - we went straight in. The research base is wonderful - it is huge and you can soon find space away from larger groups! The panda enclosures are spacious and well managed. We saw lots of giant pandas and red pandas too! It is best to go in the morning when the pandas are eating and active.
    There are lots of places to eat and some lovely souvenirs to purchase. Overall, a fantastic experience!
    It is easy to travel back into the city by bus and subway.
