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 :)

Clear instructions on meeting point. Hair and makeup took about an hour and you have to wait your turn. Had to meet photographer 10 mins walk away in the park. Some unnatural poses. it photos turned out well and received them digitally in the day. Chose 10 for touch up and received them in a week. Overall a great experience creating memorable moments.

I had a wonderful time at Jiuhuating Hanfu Studio. They offer diverse well‑kept Hanfu choices. Stylists are skillful, creating delicate makeup and fancy hairstyles. Staff are patient and helpful. Great value for money. It’s a fantastic way to experience traditional Chinese culture, and I highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful time at the cooking class! Rabbit met us at a subway station, from there we walked to a local market to buy our ingredients for the day! We were able to try out some new vegetables we aren’t able to get back home. The afternoon was spent cooking, drinking tea and having great conversations. Our noodles and our many side dishes came out delicious! This class was a highlight of our time in Beijing!

Our family had a wonderful time with the warm and friendly host family. Although we also make dumplings in Korea, I applied for this experience because I wanted my children to experience the local culture while traveling. I was grateful that the children enjoyed it so much! Making dumplings was fun, and visiting the local market was also enjoyable! A big thank you to Chenjie's husband for cooking with such effort! 💕 I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique experience while traveling in Beijing!

What to know before visiting Beijing
Quick snapshot of Beijing and what draws bookings
Beijing’s top bookings on Klook centre on theme parks, tours and museums, with historical sites and cable cars also popular. Demand varies through the year, with pronounced peaks in late spring and much quieter months in early autumn.
Best times to visit for crowds and prices
Klook booking data show May as the busiest month and September as the quietest. Prices drift through the year: Klook’s past prices were highest in December and lowest in June, so peak demand in May does not exactly match the priciest month. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for September through June when demand and some prices are lower; if you want peak-season atmosphere and the liveliest scene, May and the late-spring months deliver that buzz. Note the divergence: late-spring demand is very strong while the highest average prices were recorded in December.
Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Most travellers from Hong Kong typically book about a week ahead, with last-minute options often available around two days before. For travel in May (the peak), plan and lock activities in earlier to secure popular time slots; for quieter months you can stay flexible and book a few days out. Use Klook to compare availability across theme parks, tours and museums so you can tailor a mix of busy highlights and calmer experiences.
