Join us as we spend the whole day at Universal Studios Beijing and go on every ride and see every show this theme park has to offer. We start the day at our hotel and as we are residents we are able to enter the park an hour before regular park admission. We first head over to Hogsmead the Harry Potter themed land and go on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey coaster and then Harry Potter and the Flight of the HippoGriff coaster. We then visit Ollivanders the wand shop before leaving and going to Jurassic World. At Jurassic world we go on Jurassic Flyers a Mack Rides Coaster which was really enjoyable. Then we went on probably my favourite dark ride of all time Jurassic World Adventure, it is a great mix of practical effects and screen, a full size dinosaur even chases you! We get lunch back in Hogsmead at the Three Broomsticks, the Great Feast contained ribs, chicken, wedges, vegetables and corn on the cob, all washed down with a Butter Beer. After lunch we continued to tour the park visiting the largest Minions Land in the world and going on all the rides including Minion Mayhem before seeing Sing on Tour stage show. Next up was Kung Fu Panda land and we go on all three rides here, this is such a great themed area and it is all indoors. Our next show for the day was Waterworld Stunt Show, this is the same stunt show as Universal Studios Hollywood but in Chinese. Then we went to the Transfomers area to ride Transformers Battle for the All Spark and Bumblebee Boogie. We get a milkshake at Mel's Drive In before seeing Lights Camera Action a behind the scenes look at how films are made presented by Steven Spielberg and Shang Yimou. We then see the Universal Parade that starts a number of animated characters before going back to Jurassic World to meet a Raptor in their Raptor Encounter.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS BEIJING - Full day at this Amazing Theme Park in China

Early access and rides

Travelshorts' family begins at the Universal Studios Grand Hotel, using the early-access period before the park opens to other visitors. They start in Hogsmeade, ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Flight of the Hippogriff, and visit Ollivanders. They then move to Jurassic World for Jurassic Flyers and Jurassic World Adventure. The family also goes to Minions Land for Minion Mayhem and watches Sing on Tour.

Lunch at the Three Broomsticks includes the Great Feast: ribs, chicken, potatoes, corn and vegetables, which the family says costs about £50. They later explore Kung Fu Panda Land, where indoor rides and entertainment are available. At Waterworld, a brief technical interruption occurs at the start of the stunt show, but the family still enjoys the performance.

Shows, food and the end of the day

The family visits the Transformers area for Battle for the All Spark and Bumblebee Boogie, then stops at Mel's Drive-In for milkshakes. One is purple sweet potato, though one traveler prefers the strawberry flavor. Lights Camera Action gives them a behind-the-scenes look at filmmaking. They meet a Raptor in Jurassic World, watch the parade and return to some rides, including Harry Potter and Jurassic World Adventure. They also buy a Beijing-exclusive wand.

The day ends at Universal CityWalk, where they have traditional Chinese food. The video discusses ticket prices: a two-day pass costs around £100 per person, and a one-day express pass is also about £100. The family gives a recap of rides, shows and food, and mentions the next day's plans to visit the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. Other practical details include that many dining areas open for lunch at 11:30 a.m., and that Minion Mayhem's 3D format may vary by location.

The family also visits Honeydukes for themed sweets and watches the parade from a place where they can see the procession without blocking others. They compare that approach with parade etiquette they have seen at Tokyo Disney. Minion Mayhem's 3D format is uncertain to them, so the source recommends checking visitor information because the experience may vary by park. These details sit alongside the practical costs and opening times that shape their day.
