Positives:

  • Complimentary baby facilities: Mother’s Rooms, changing stations, and benches are free throughout the park
  • Flat terrain: Wide, paved paths and ramps make stroller access easy

Challenges:

  • Crowded peak times: Weekends and holidays fill the main courtyards, making stroller navigation harder
  • Stone steps inside halls: Marble stairs at the Hall of Prayer can be slippery—avoid with a baby

Another iconic tourist attraction that you must visit when in Beijing. It was said that ancient emperors would come here to pray for good harvests and prosperity for their kingdom. It also really looks good to take pictures with.

It’s best to visit early in the mornin...
