    It was a great experience! Everything was well organised. Our tourgide was Mike, on the way there he gave us a lot interesting history about the Great wall. On top of that he is very friendly and passionate about his job! Always can have a good laugh with! When we went there it was so hot, but we did see enough. First we went to the east wall and took the toggoban down and then to the west wall to badd time went to fast and didnt had enough time on the west wall. But all in all we made great memories!

    The place is historical. Both locals and tourists visit this place, that's why it's always crowded. I spent couples of hours there. It's too big, so the whole day you can walk around and explore many useful things.

    The place is so huge that the whole day you can walk around. I didn't know that on Mondays the main palace is closed, that was so pity I couldn't see it. Definitely it's worth to visit.

    Quite a large place. The temple buildings were lovely.
    Cost 25CNY entrance.
    After visiting a lot of temples on our 13 stops throughout China, whilst I did enjoy having a wander through, I did think other temples I had visited were better.

    The place is large and takes long walks to explore the vast area. The daily flag hoisting/down even is a crowd pleaser so be prepared with published times to witness it.

    This is a huge space dedicated to art scene in Beijing. It's very nice to explore and soak in the vibes.

    Some down points for us (nothing too serious):
    - shops there have different opening hours, some open after 2pm, some closed at 4pm etc so our visit at 12pm was awfully awkward as some places are not open
    - there's not a lot of food options inside so make sure you have some food before coming over
    - the area is quite far off the metro; I believe the nearest one is under construction, so it was quite a walk into the premise for us, and the cab out was stuck in heavy traffic for a while

    Jingshan Park is renowned for its artificial hill, constructed from soil excavated during the construction of the Forbidden City's palace moat. From the hilltops, you can enjoy great city views.

    Definitely a wonder of the world. Views are amazing but be prepared for some lengthy climbs up some steep sets of stairs so pace yourself. Set your own limits but we'll worth the effort.

    Uncrowded late March (tail end of the low season)we saw no more than 40 people enroute. It was impressive though restored. The dam was still iced over adding to the picturesque charm. Apparently the wild sections are no longer accessible due to the death of an American diplomat and his family 3 years ago (this is what local told us).
