Rabbit is a passionate woman who greeted me at the subway station and then took me to a nearby traditional market to buy ingredients. The market in Beijing sells some things that are different from Taiwan. I saw many ingredients I had never seen before, like purple and green radishes. It was so interesting. Rabbit is very talkative and can talk about anything. She also showed me many different cultures and lifestyles. Then we went to Rabbit's house, a very clean and elegant Beijing residence, where we started making dumplings from flour. We made the dumpling wrappers and the filling. I was amazed by the northerners' attention to detail when it comes to dumpling wrappers and the order in which the fillings are mixed. Although my family also makes dumplings, it's a method I've never known. I was very excited to gain these valuable experiences and knowledge from Teacher Rabbit. Later, we enjoyed the fruits of our labor together. Wow, it was a moving feast. I have never eaten dumplings that were so chewy (Beijingers say "筋道," or "jindao"). They were springy and delicious. In addition, the handmade tofu we bought from the local market had a charming, smoky aroma that added a wonderful touch to the already delicious dumplings. Thank you very much, Teacher Rabbit. This day was truly fulfilling and enriching. Highly recommended.

A truly special experience. Chenjie and her husband are wonderful people who welcomed us into their home and shared, with passion and love, everything about making dumplings from the dough and fillings to the sauces, side dishes, and tools needed to make them perfectly. I am vegetarian, and they were extremely thoughtful in preparing a special filling just for me, as well as delicious sides both for me and for my fiancé, who eats meat. We felt truly cared for in every detail. For my fiancé’s birthday, they even bought a cake and candles to celebrate with us, making the moment even more special. It was a unique and unforgettable experience that we highly recommend, as it truly enriches the soul. We are grateful to have met such kind and generous people. We wish you a 2026 full of happiness and serenity and hope to see you soon in Italy! Norma & Luca

So happy! Under Ms. Rabbit's careful guidance, I made many mooncakes. Because she was so patient in helping me, each mooncake turned out beautifully shaped. This is truly the most perfect Mid-Autumn Festival!

Visiting the Forbidden City during Chinese New Year meant there were huge crowds. Despite that, the impression was a good one. The palace complex is very beautiful, and I enjoyed walking around the whole thing, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to go to the Hall of Treasures. Guidebooks said that two hours is enough to see it, but in reality, I spent about 3.5 hours. If you want to see the entire complex, the clock gallery, and the Hall of Treasures, I recommend allowing more time.

We had a wonderful experience visiting the Mutianyu Great Wall! Everything was very well organized from pickup to drop-off, and the transportation was comfortable and on time. Our guide, Flower, was very helpful, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She gave clear instructions, made sure everyone was accounted for, and the whole process felt smooth and stress-free. Such a fun and memorable experience! >< Thank you, Flower, for taking good care of us. Highly recommended tour!

I really enjoyed my day here! The park was supper big with all the areas decorated so well. 1 day was indeed not enough to play all games there, yet that's okay for me, because my main point is to enjoy the theme and play some main games I favored.

Beautiful place and a very enriching experience. Huge thanks to our tour guide, Icy, for guiding us smoothly through the entire Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City tour. Security in Tiananmen is extremely strict, and navigating the area would have been very challenging without proper guidance—especially if you have no prior idea of the process. We learned so much about the history of the Forbidden City, the dynasties, and the significance of the structures along the way. Icy explained everything clearly and made the tour engaging and easy to follow. As a thoughtful touch, our tour guide even gave us a small gift after the tour, which was such a lovely surprise. Highly recommend this English tour on Klook—well-organized, informative, and totally worth it.

Ah! Got it — you mean Badaling Great Wall, the famous and more accessible section. Here’s a tailored Klook-style review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Badaling Great Wall Visiting the Badaling section of the Great Wall was an amazing and memorable experience. The wall is well-preserved and easy to walk, making it perfect for both first-timers and casual visitors. The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking, stretching across the mountains in every direction. It’s also very easy to access and navigate, with clear paths, stairs, and facilities along the way. Walking along this iconic landmark gives you a real sense of history and the incredible scale of the Great Wall. Overall, Badaling is a must-visit for anyone in Beijing—whether for sightseeing, photos, or just experiencing one of the world’s greatest wonders. 🏯✨
