    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.

    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.

    The best experience in my life to climb to the tower of hero. The feelings you get from this wonder of the world will change you.

    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).
