Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- GrandTour476646129664 contributionsI visited the Mutianyu section of the Great wall among other wonderful attractions in Beijing. This section is less crowded than other sections. Make sure you have some good walking shoes on and prepare for the final climb to a fabulous view.
My guide Tracy was very helpful from arrival to departure of Beijing. She was full of knowledge about all the historical places we visited. Very friendly and happy.
I recommend Tracy for anyone traveling to Beijing.Written 3 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The entire tour would have been incomplete without her.Written 2 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sean H2 contributionsA great place to visit if you want to get a glimpse of some nature as well as Chinese buildings at the same time. Can easily spend four or even more hours depending on how much you want to take in the atmosphere.Written 27 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Fanou H34 contributionsThe temple is amazing to visit. The buildings are beautiful and the story behind it is very interesting. The architectural designs are truly remarkable.
However, I would advise not to go during the Chinese holidays as the crowd will literally crush you.
I would also advise not to take the audio guide on site, I paid 40¥ and it was disconnecting all the time (and I could not rewind) so I missed a lot of the explanations. I did not detect well my location so sometimes I would not get any explanation at all. It made this experience a bit frustrating but at least the temple's beauty made up for it.Written 4 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you visit Beijing this is a must see without a doubt.
It takes around 2 hours by car from Beijing but it's like nothing else you will ever experience again.
One of the 7 Wonders of the World.
Building started in the 9th century BC right up to the 19th century & stretches over 4163 miles.
I must say it's not for people with trouble walking as there is so much involved including steps & steep slopes from tower to tower.
We visited in early may & it was very hot & humid.
The views are out of this world but worth every penny of the hard work getting those Glutes working.
It was very busy when we visited but we were told it is like that all the time so there is no specific day that is better to visit.
There is so much history here, such a beautiful place.
Tickets are a few pounds & worth every penny.
Best experience ever!!Written 31 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Could be because it was a Sunday but it was extremely crowded as everyone was jostling to snap a photo of the Forbidden City across the road. What is interesting is that the hill is artificially created. The hill was constructed during Ming dynasty from the soil excavated when constructing the moats of the Imperial Palace and nearby canals. The soil was moved across and that was how the hill was formed.
We had a nice walk in the park and had very nice views awhile walking up the hill. Do think about transport too, as it was difficult to hail a taxi or get a ride through Didi while we were there. Do time this visit if you intend to visit the Forbidden City.Written 8 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Entrance fee 10 Yuan. Scenic spot for photos and a nice walk by the lake. Next to Jinghai park.Written 13 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The walk in -3 degrees in the wee hours on a Thursday December morning was not that far from our hotel, but subject to a few security checks (IDs and bags) along the way. The wait was long and the flag raising did not start until 7.25am, so we had waited for slightly more than an hour.
The contingent marched from building and across the road, where traffic was stopped a few minutes earlier. Once ready, the national anthem was played and the flag was raised, all within minutes. While there were a few foreigners, most were locals and many were elders who make the trip and wait to witness the ceremony. The patriotism is commendable. After the flag raiding ceremony, we proceeded to explore Tiananmen Square. Definitely an experience for those who visit Beijing but do note that online reservation is required.Written 27 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

One of the mall has a supermarket in the basement, something hard to find in the Wangfujing area. Definitely a nice place to take a stroll and when you intend to do some shopping.Written 26 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cosmopolitan6186851 contributionDefinitely worth it if you're interested in contemporary art. Many galleries you can stroll through; most are free but a few charge an entrance fee. There are numerous small restaurants and coffee shops in the area.Written 6 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BonnyBelieverGreater Sydney, Australia119 contributionsThe place was magical! The weather was perfect for our climb. Our tour took us by bus to the car park, we walked to the stairs for the start of the climb.
It is steep, and there are not a lot of landings!
There is irregular distribution of bricks which may be either one layer or two to make the stairs.Written 27 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You can get there by subway and walk a short distance. There are many floors but not all with pearls! First & second floor is mainly IT stuff (phones & phone repair, power banks, cables...) wonderful for tech geeks (I loved it). Next are bags & suitcases, some clothes & souvenir shops, then pearls at the top. They all claim to be the real thing but unless you know your gems or are with a trusted person, don't risk it. I stopped at a silver shop where the person insisted that the Pandora charms she wanted to sell me were real - - hmmm they looked exactly the same as what I got on Ali Express. Pricing-wise, they can be a fraction lower than online after much bargaining but not hugely so.Written 1 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Traveller_OldieCharleston, SC278 contributionsThis re-enactment of the actual watertown is very well constructed and has a range of wonderful little shops and alleyways. BUT try to go on a weekday. Weekends are hectic and full of crowds. Has a nice vibe. The lightshow with more than 80 drones dancing in the sky was quite incredible.Written 15 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OJSydney, Australia17 contributionsWhat a great place to visit
I booked a ticket to watch Chinese opera and I was really surprised by the size of thos venue. It's huge, modern, very well organized with some great staff working around. Also the security guards inside the venue looked so amazingly weird 😁Written 22 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I did Mutianyu just last October, ie about 8 months ago.
There were lots of towers to climb.
Here, I met only 1 and reached the top of the Great Wall for this section.
But this is beautiful as it has the lake with it.
You don't need any tour guide for this.
The tour guides can't help you scale the Great Wall.Written 3 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
