Things to do in Kuancheng

Highlights worth affirming 1. Shocking natural wonders Tianmen Cave: The naturally formed cave through the mountain is a geological wonder, especially in foggy weather, it is like a fairyland, and it is extremely spectacular when viewed from the air or from a distance. Panshan Road and 99 Bends: Drive or take a scenic bus to experience the "Road to Heaven", which is thrilling and suitable for tourists who like challenges. Glass Plank Road: Hanging on the cliff, there is an abyss under your feet. Those who are afraid of heights should be careful, but the visual experience is first-class. 2.

It's so crowded! What happened to the off-season?! So many people! Queues start at an hour. I thought the off-season would be over after Golden Week, but I was wrong. It's still packed with people. The queues are making me dizzy!

I've booked the tour that started at 10am but I was there early and they put me with the earlier group and it's great that I didn't have to spend my time waiting. Before I was there I've read that one of the main building was under construction and was very disappointed. Though it's my fifth visit, you will still want to see it in its full glory and not to be greeted by a scaffolding building. However once I've passed that, it didn't really bother me as much as I've thought it would be. Our guide was Lily. She is very passionate, responsible and answer all questions. There's time for photos and a toilet break. After the tour with Lily ended, I made my way to the Treasure Hall. It's worth a visit where you see more of these grand architecture.

Five-star review! Thank you, Director Li, for your dedication, patience, and thorough explanations. We were originally scheduled to board at 8:00 AM from Lao She Teahouse near Qianmen, but considering it was too early, the subway transfer would be necessary, and the walking would take time, I considered getting a refund. Director Li learned that I was taking Metro Line 8 from Muxiyuan and directed me to the Beitucheng station, allowing us to meet at 8:50 AM. Following Director Li's directions, I boarded the bus at Beitucheng. Today's Great Wall visit went very smoothly and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you, Director Li!

A great attraction, with legitimate, no-nonsense attractions. The visitor center was clean, especially the restrooms, which were stocked with toilet paper and face towels. (This was a huge plus!) The 29.9 speedboat is a great value, but you should check availability in advance to avoid missing the last one at 2:30 PM.

张洋导游讲解的非常好！All visitors should book the national Museum of China trip. It is not easy to book on your own, book through Trip.com and have a guide to share the history with you..

Suitable for family walks, outings, and leisurely strolls. It was a bit hot during August, the summer peak season; the evenings were cool, but the days were still very sunny and hot. The scenery was beautiful, but it was very crowded, as it's a famous tourist attraction.

Director Wang's explanation was indeed excellent; he explained the layout of Prince Gong's Mansion very clearly. After listening, seeing the courtyards became much easier. It wasn't just a perfunctory explanation; you could tell he put in the effort, and the money was well spent.

What truly impressed me was the walk from the park with trees on both ends leading up to the temple of heaven. The wet morning rain added reflections on the pathway that would have been absent on a sunny day. Compared to my experience at the forbidden city, this is a smaller venue that requires far less energy and time. The circular structure holds its own voice as one of the most important buildings in the country. The magnificence can only be truly experienced by being present on site. A truly mesmerizing journey. Highly recommended!
