“Lily had a lot of knowledge about the terracotta warriors. She got us to the location quickly so it was not as crowded. The wall and the bazar were also great. I did wish we had more time on the wall. The food at the Muslim bazar was amazing!”

Michael walked us through all important details. Later we went to a tea ceremony, lunch and then visit to a pearl shop.

“The guide Joy from Mubus is super energetic. She gives detailed instructions on where to meet, with back up plan in case we wandered off. Even thou we are a big group of 30 - you still get the personal attention. The stories shared in each place takes you back to how people lives during that period. We ended up visiting 6 places as we ended the tour at The Birds Nest. I especially like the waterway cruise from Purple Bamboo Park to Summer Palace.”

Review of the $8 Temple of Heaven ticket in Beijing, with QR entry, route advice, practical restrictions, value, and tips for a smooth visit.

“Booked full access ticket without a tour guide. Ms Li from the travel company contacted me shortly after, provided not only the QR ticket, but all the information I might need for my visit: how to better get there, suggested convenient sightseeing itinerary inside the park etc. The park surrounding the temple is quite big and have lot of other must-see attractions within. I stayed there for 3+ hours, but in case you prefer a slower pace, 5-6 hours would be good. Overall I enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it.”
