Co dělat v Beihai Park

We had a fantastic tour visiting the Temple of Heaven, Prince Gong Residence, and other spots. The tour is conducted entirely in Chinese. Our tour guide, Shu Lei, was exceptional throughout the entire day. ​He is extremely knowledgeable about the history and cultural significance of every site we visited, offering rich stories and context that made the history truly come alive. Beyond his deep expertise, Shu Lei was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and caring towards the elderly members of our group. He maintained a comfortable, considerate pace and made sure everyone felt safe, well taken care of, and included at every step. ​Everything was smooth, well-organized, and thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend booking a tour with Shu Lei if you want an informative, seamless, and warm experience!

Tento park je krásný a obrovský. V létě je ale velmi horké počasí, kromě toho je procházka parkem docela příjemná.

The taxi wasn't allowed down the street the store was on, but it was only a 1 minute walk from the main road. I came early in the morning ~9am, and was able to start straight away. The sisters in the store were very nice and we used a app for translations. There were lots of hanfu to select, and staff were patient while I selected. My makeup was pale but it worked with the style/era. It also included lashes and hair. It was extremely hot and the hanfu was so warm. The tickets for entrance to Beihai park were provided and I was able to meet the photographer. He was great, enthusiastic, and helped me pose. I enjoyed the location of the shoot as it was (slightly) less crowded. Photos were provided straight away- there were over 30, then I could select 5 to had edited, which were also provided within a few days. Great service :)

Měla jsem skvělý čas! Zarezervovala jsem si lístek na Hvězdnou noc, který zahrnoval nápoj a hru, kde jsem mohla vyhrát suvenýr! Park není moc velký, ale je velmi krásný a atmosféra je tam kouzelná!

Průvodkyně Linda byla organizovaná a neustále dbala na to, aby neztratila skupinu, dávala nám dostatek času, aby celá skupina dorazila na každou zastávku, než začala vyprávět o významu každé budovy, relikvie nebo historického artefaktu. Mluvila jasně a srozumitelně, s nádechem humoru a vždy s úsměvem. Prohlídka byla dobře načasovaná, ne příliš hektická, navzdory rozsahu a hloubce probíraného materiálu. Rozhodně to stojí za vaše peníze!

This was an amazing tour with so many interesting sights seen. Helen made it so memorable with her great story telling and jokes, she also assisted us in getting into the areas faster than everyone else which was a huge plus. It is great value for money too as everything is included, all you do is pay and rock up and you’re set. Cold water is provided and the pace can be either fast or slow depending on what you like. Helen gave us the option to stop and take photos or go to the next spot which i really appreciated as i don’t like to waffle around. 100% recommend to anyone visiting beijing

Tento výlet vřele doporučuji, pokud se chystáte do Zakázaného města. Místo je obrovské a budete potřebovat průvodce, abyste ho prozkoumali a dozvěděli se o jeho historii. Náš průvodce Peter se nám maximálně věnoval. Sdílel s námi historii a odpovídal na naše otázky ohledně místa. Byl ochotný nám také pomoci s focením.

Pouze pomalým procházením Zakázaného města od začátku do konce s průvodcem lze skutečně pochopit funkci a historii každého paláce. Palácové muzeum je opravdu obrovské a je potřeba, aby někdo vysvětlil historii každého nádvoří, abyste jasně věděli, kam jste se dostali. Od hlavního sálu, kde se konaly audience, až po nádvoří harému a krásnou zadní zahradu – dřívější císaři a císařovny si to opravdu užívali🌟

It's beautiful inside, and they offer free incense. You don't have to pay anything. As you walk, there are ginkgo trees on both sides of the path, tall and providing shade from the sun. I also saw a Buddha statue carved from a single piece of wood.
