    Universal Studios in Beijing was great. Facilities were great food was good and we had a great time. The park feels very new and fresh. The waiting in Line wasn’t too long. The weather was cold but plenty of places to stay warm.

    Was a great experience, although was so cold out on the boat we didn’t get off and came straight back as we got near enough to the statue without all the crowds! Would recommend!

    Although I'm not disabled, I definitely have to rent that electric wheelchair. Not only do you not have to walk, but it also has a fast track, saving a lot of queuing time. The food in the park isn't actually that great. But the room service is the best I've ever had in my life.

    Having just returned from our latest trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, booked seamlessly through Trip.com, I am compelled to share why, after multiple visits spanning decades, this resort remains not just a destination, but a benchmark for joyful, immersive family travel. It’s easy to be cynical about its scale and popularity, but to step onto Main Street, U.S.A., with Cinderella Castle shimmering in the distance, is to willingly and wonderfully suspend all disbelief. This isn’t just a theme park; it’s a masterclass in creating happiness, and our experience—facilitated by Trip.com’s easy package deals—was nothing short of spectacular.The Immersion is Unmatched: Four Unique Worlds to ExploreThe genius of Disney World lies in its breadth and depth. With four distinct theme parks, each offers a completely different vibe and adventure. Magic Kingdom is the beating heart of nostalgia and fairy tales.

    It's best to arrive early, as there are exhibits inside for taking photos. The staff are very welcoming, and finding a seat is easy. However, the women's restrooms have a long queue after the show. Plan ahead, as the show is a classic Wizard of Oz, with yellow leaves (paper) falling, red apples falling from the seats in the middle area, and snowflake-like effects.

    It was raining heavily that day, which made my feet uncomfortable and cold, and the scenery wasn't very good, but the staff were all gentlemen. And they were cheerful. They complimented my nails, and a customer even asked me in a friendly voice to join them in playing Spider-Man. I was alone, so I was happy. They also asked if I could wipe the table when I was eating, since they'd be done soon. They even looked after my carry-on bag for free. I was able to ride the attractions, Cars and Miss Incredible, which had been closed for a long time, without any problems. It was my first time at California Disneyland, and the heavy rain made things quite difficult, but I was more than satisfied with everything else, so it was a really enjoyable trip. Thank you for Ladies and Gentlemen.

    Fabulous!! Second visit for me after 30 years, but was as good and didn’t disappoint! Queues were quick as were the lifts and so many cool things to see and do on the way up. Interesting facts and information about the building and history. Great views even on a cloudy day!

    Getting lost at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a kind of bliss—turning past Roman columns, you suddenly stumble upon the Temple of Dendur, the Nile's mist seemingly still condensed on the sandstone. Lingering for a long time before "Riverside Scene" in the Chinese gallery, one can almost hear the pine trees whispering in Fan Kuan's ink-wash landscape. Most wondrously, in the European armor gallery, a knight's visor still bears the marks of 1547, while a Giacometti sculpture in the adjacent modern gallery speaks to it with a similarly rugged posture. Sitting in the tiered lobby at closing time, listening to an impromptu piano performance, twilight streaming through the glass dome onto Rodin's "The Gates of Hell," you suddenly feel that the entire museum is like an ark carrying human civilization, with each exhibit an anchor point for its journey.

    Upon first seeing the original "Starry Night" on the fifth floor of MoMA, Van Gogh's swirling eddies were more turbulent than I had imagined; I could almost hear the paint roaring across the canvas. Passing through the installation art area, I was engulfed by Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirror Room—millions of my own reflections floated and sank in points of light, instantly disorienting me. In the contemporary art gallery, Duchamp's urinal remained playfully placed, next to which lay apple cores left by visitors. Most movingly, in the rest area, I saw an elderly man with white hair copying Mondrian; his trembling brushstrokes held the lingering warmth of the 20th century.
