    Great for shopping and testing your bargaining skills. This is just opposite the Temple of Heaven (west gate?). 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.

    Museum itself was great, we had the opportunity to see lots of treasures and learn the culture and history of China, it was very educational for children, but it is Massive! I guess for a big country to put everything in it's going to be massive, we all had vry soe feet after a full day walking.

    What 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 😁

    The mall is stunning in the evening because of the LED ceiling outside. It's great for taking pictures or even for just going for a stroll.

    The mall itself has the usual shops and food options, as with many other malls in Beijing. It is on the bigger end of the spectrum of malls in the city, though, so you won't find yourself bored in this place. Most brands here are foreign/international (e.g. Muji, Zara, H&M, Victoria's Secret, Starbucks, etc. There are many local options for food together with a few international chains.

    There are varieties of acrobatic shows.

    The piling of chairs and the motorbike within the globe itself is breathtaking and worthwatching already

    good entertainment

    This is a vibrant shopping district that is much better than Wangfujing. Shops are also common big brands, but the area is much more walkable, and shops are much more aesthetic in design. Shops also close pretty early for a weekend when we're there, but there are bars and drinking spots nearby that kept the area lively and interesting.

    An incredible shopping center in Beijing! So many stores, restaurants, levels and activities! You could definitely spend a whole day day here with no regrets!

    For the winter season though, the ice skating ring isn’t as good as rated. The price you pay to enter, is the price with your ice-skates included. This might be a pretty good deal for people who borrow ice-skates to skate, but as a person who has my own ice-skates I think the price should be much lower than 200RMB, especially for the tiny ice-skating ring that they are providing to you. Plus you have to pay extra for the ice-strollers for kids.

    As we read the reviews before our trip, it said that no cards accepted, BUT now the cards were accepted. This was a good thing because our trip was coming to an end.
    The atmosphere is cool, liked the paintings and all. Service was good and the most important thing of all was that the lamb chops we ate were the best ever!

    It's located within the zoo, so you must first purchase zoo entrance tickets. Then separate entrance tickets at the aquarium.
    There are lots of souvenirs, food, drinks, toilets here.
    Pretty nice displays. There is a marine mammal show. I missed most of it, caught end. Looked entertaining. Go for this for sure.
    The fossils were neat.
    Overall pretty clean but one word sums up the displays...overcrowded.

    Sophisticated luxury mall full of artistic statures and other interesting art. Top of line brands, expensive, but interesting to walk around.

    Multistoreyed building. Nice inside with big variety of places to eat and shops to visit. Go there if you have time, worth visiting.

    This is a review of the clock gallery only. As other reviewers have noted, this requires a separate ticket from the nearby treasure gallery.

    This is worthwhile, but (on a weekend) it was extremely crowded. It is not large, but according to the website 82 clocks are on display. They are extremely ornate, and the workmanship involved is quite stunning.

    If you can be there on a weekday, perhaps it would be less crowded and more enjoyable.

    It is the 65th anniversary of Wangfujing Department Store. Many goods are on sale, I bought a lot of clothes at very cheap prices.
