It’s of f my favorite places in China. It’s a total must! Unfortunately there have been new cases of the pandemic in China again and thus, many measures are being used to restrict the circulation in some parts of the city and even the country. I went on a visit, with all the measures for caution and things were fine. It’s a new moment and we all have to adapt to the new rules. I think China has always been very organized and they do things to work.

The food was wonderful on a girls day out. So naturally, we spread the word and we brought our family for a Saturday night dinner, buffet style, meaning you serve yourself other than drinks that are brought. They attempted to charge each family 15% gratuity on top of the price of the buffet. Charged my 3 year old an adult price, he ate maybe a few bites and a scoop of ice cream. I refused to be told what to leave for a “tip.” A tip is offered to the service worker if deserved, never required. Definitely will not go back to an establishment that attempts to take advantage by charging this way.

A great place to visit with the entire family. Was the house of the dinastied Ming and Qing. Make sure you ho early as its one of the biggest palaces where a lot is in open air spaces. I would recommend you to get an audio guide that you can get at the main door. They have em in several languages. If you are going in winter bring some hot drinks with you as its quite cold.
