We joined the incense tablet experience as a group of 7 people, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we walked in, the space felt calm and beautifully designed with a strong traditional Chinese aesthetic. The instructor patiently guided us through the history and cultural meaning behind incense, then helped us craft our own personalized incense tablets step by step. It was such a special hands-on experience — mixing the natural fragrances, shaping the incense, and finally holding a piece we made ourselves felt incredibly satisfying. The whole process was relaxing, meaningful, and perfect for friends traveling together. If you’re visiting and looking for something unique, cultural, and memorable, I highly recommend this experience. Strongly recommend — absolutely worth it!

This guided tour of the Forbidden City in Beijing was truly impressive, and I'm still thinking about it! Teacher Zhang's knowledge is vast, and his explanations were not only rich in professional content but also lively. His clear and organized way of explaining the history, architectural features, artifacts, and cultural background of the Forbidden City made the static ancient sites and relics come alive. The tour's pace was smooth, and the content was wonderfully rich, not only enhancing our knowledge but also keeping us thoroughly engaged. It allowed us to deeply appreciate the historical depth of Chinese culture and better understand the cultural value of the Forbidden City. We are grateful for the teacher's dedicated and professional sharing, which made this trip to the Forbidden City incredibly rewarding and beneficial. It was truly a wonderful feast of knowledge and culture. “The teacher not only imparted knowledge but also guided us to appreciate the Forbidden City from different perspectives, making the entire visit inspiring and moving.” This truly deserves a five-star review!

An Unforgettable Family Day at Universal Beijing Resort ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our family had an amazing day at Universal Beijing Resort! From the moment we walked in, the excitement was nonstop. Seeing all the iconic characters come to life was a real highlight for both the kids and the adults. The character meet-and-greets, themed lands, and attention to detail made the whole experience feel magical. The rides were fantastic, the shows were entertaining, and there was something for everyone in the family to enjoy. The park was clean, well organized, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the day. It was a day filled with laughter, excitement, and unforgettable memories. We would definitely recommend Universal Beijing Resort to families and anyone looking for a fun-filled adventure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had an amazing experience visiting the Great Wall of China with our guide, Richard. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire tour enjoyable. Car was comfortable and clean. He recommended we leave heaps earlier to get to Great Wall to escape the crowds and it was the best idea. He shared fascinating history, answered all our questions, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

The Summer Palace was quite cold and rainy when I visited, with a thick fog that obscured the views. However, it was still beautiful in its own way, so it was acceptable. When I bought the tickets on Klook, they were twice as expensive as buying them at the gate. I'm not sure why; perhaps the on-site tickets only cover basic entry and not all zones. The Klook tickets, however, allowed access to all zones, but I couldn't explore everything because it was crowded, cold, and rainy. Despite that, I was impressed! The high-angle views were stunning.

A guided tour to Forbidden City & Tiananmen Square is highly recommended for tourists to avoid the disappointment of missing out. We went on a Saturday which is a very busy day. Our tour guide Neo made a very good job to make our experience awesome despite of the big crowd and heavy security.

Booked combination ticket via klook and it was seamless. I just presented the QR code at the gates. The park was huge with resting areas in the forest part. There are many tourists, either you go early or go late. There was a light up at night on friday to sunday but you can only see it from outside. It was a very good way to spend the day. I went in the afternoon. Thank you for this.
