What travelers are saying
- Brandon León1 contributionIt is a great sight capable of encompassing great historical moments throughout the years, plus there were lives that were lost at the time of its construction, It has a great background that is worth investigating if you are curious about its history.Written March 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- FellowTraveler777811Brisbane, Australia21 contributionsAmazing structures. Lots of history and beautiful surroundings. People in traditional costume. Very crowded but well worth the visit.Written May 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Rogério - 56+ countries visitedKlaipeda, Lithuania850 contributionsIn the palace itself there isn’t much to do except going up the long stairs and appreciate the views. Suggest comfortable shoes.Written May 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Jo KWorcester, UK6,277 contributionsThis was a review going back to 2019 as part of a cruise and stay package.
This part of the wall is superb but don’t have anything to compare it with. It is a long way from Beijing though and during golden week traffic is pretty crazy.Written May 17, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Oscar TegniStockholm, Sweden22 contributionsBeautiful and cool place that should be on your list of places to see in Beijing.
Its covers a huge area, pavilion after pavilion. Would recommend having a guide to to understand the history and architecture.Written November 2, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - richiel747Richmond, Canada328 contributionsBeautiful and peaceful visit to the Temple of Heaven. It was busy on New Years Day and many come to pray at the beginning of the New Year. With Covid restrictions in place, we could not buy a ticket via WeChat however we were able to pay for the ticket in cash when we arrived on site. As a visitor, you do need your passport number to visit the site. The history is incredible and it provides great insight to the spiritual side of ancient times. The buildings are amazing and if you time you visit right when the light is low, the sun lights up the interiors so you can really appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of these buildings. You can race around and see the buildings or spend a lot of time wandering around.Written January 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Matt TBeijing, China11 contributionsWe ended up in this park when the Fobidden City was sold out. Even though it was not our original destination, it surpassed expectations! The tea room on the East side is a great cultural gem.Written April 25, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Jane SSydney, Australia15 contributionsEasy access to the Great Wall and great to be able to experience. Travelled pre Covid in April 2020.Written January 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- FellowTraveler777811Brisbane, Australia21 contributionsThe workmanship in the buildings were second to none. The gardens were beautifully manicured to perfection. Very relaxing visit. Well worth the lookWritten May 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Tundykee013 contributionsIt was beautiful and even though we haven't been on another part of the wall, I can definitely say this is the most stunning part of the wall. The lake view is priceless and there are a lot of faculties around the wall at this place. Unfortunately the amusement park was closed due to winter and most part of the wall was also closed but at the summer time I am pretty sure it's the best. Especially for people with kids. You can also float on the lake in a boat.Written March 21, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Beckensaur8 contributionsWent to Beijing for a business trip. I had only one day free. Decided to see 798 art zone and found it very amusing.Written October 14, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

Nigth view something special.Written June 1, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Stewarts Vacation472 contributionsOutstanding skilled performance of stunts, dance and acrobatics by men, women and children in colourful costumes. Visually thrilling. The theatre itself was a bit run down and unkempt looking. We had reserved seats, but were told to "sit anywhere". We selected seats near the back and had a great overview. Strict instructions were given about no photography or videoing .. but still people chose to ignore this. However, the show itself was amazing and the acrobatics astounding. Highly recommended for an evening's entertainment.Written December 3, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- AbusyedTianjin, China42 contributionswow , no words to say about the beauty of the place, if you are looking for a place to take the photographs , this is the place , Recommended for night view , stunning beauty, lot of resturants ,boating, and enjoy the.scenaries .Written June 1, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
