It just happened to be in trial operation these few days, and I was invited to experience it first. It took 10 hours, walked more than 20,000 steps, and experienced most of the projects in person. It was a perfect day to play, watched a few big shows, and caught up with the float parade. Here is a summary of the practical strategy of Universal Studios Beijing for your reference!
1. Preliminary preparation
Has 2 functions:
1. Buy tickets, buy U-Speed Pass, and upload photos for facial recognition to enter the park.
2. Navigate in the park, see the queuing time of each project and the start time of performance projects.
Reminder: Upload photos in advance and scan the QR code to enter the park directly with your face; if you have conditions, you can buy Yousutong to avoid long queues. Or plan the itinerary according to the queuing time prompted by the software. Priority is given to arranging time to experience projects with a fixed performance time, and participation in other recreational facilities as appropriate according to the itinerary.
What to bring:
Tips: Drones are not allowed in the park, and large video recording equipment and tripods are not allowed. Some rides require bag storage and security checks. It is recommended to bring a small backpack, commonly used cameras, action cameras and selfie stick stabilizers. In the security check of the park, if there is suspected contraband, you will be required to open the bag for inspection, such as certain food and beverages (drinks containing alcohol and glass bottles, self-heating fast food, etc. are prohibited), too many cameras and tripods will cause trouble. Backpacks that are too large may not fit in the self-service lockers (no manual storage).
2. Traffic routes

Enter the park by swiping your ID card or directly swiping your face, and you can travel around the seven themed scenic spots.
What are the seven themed scenic spots? !
You can visit and experience according to the order of the route. It is best to buy a speed pass, otherwise the long queue will delay the time to watch the show. If you don’t buy U-Speed Pass, you can always check the official APP or mini-program to arrange the itinerary according to the time of the performance and the queue time of the ride.
HollywoodHollywood
Entering the park, you will first see Hollywood and the Avenue of Fame in Los Angeles, USA, making tourists feel as if they are on the star-studded Hollywood Boulevard, strolling among the tall palm trees, wandering in the classic Hollywood scenes, and encountering movie superstars at any time. In the "Palace of World Movies" - Hollywood Scenic Spot, famous Hollywood landmark buildings are recreated, and at the same time, it is equipped with a variety of themed restaurants and shopping experience.

In addition, the Universal Glory Theater, which combines Chinese style and Hollywood classic elements, not only performs the stage play "Untamed" regularly, but also holds movie premieres, speeches and other wonderful special events.
Transformers Metrobase Transformers Metrobase
The Transformers base is full of Cybertron grids, which are created and presented based on the "Transformers" series of sci-fi action movies. This is my favorite park! It is also the place with the loudest scream in the entire Universal Studios! ! If nothing else, the main reason is that there is a Decepticon roller coaster! However, there was rain in the morning, and the roller coaster was suspended for safety reasons, and it was only idling for testing at noon. Come back here in the evening, there is a strict security check here, and you are not allowed to bring any cameras, mobile phones and all odds and ends. For the first time, I no longer shoot, just enjoy the process of playing. This is the most comfortable roller coaster I have ever been on and the most beautiful one. The distance is longer than expected, and there are many twists and turns, probably because of the sense of security and relaxation of the big brand amusement park. Even if you choose the seat on the far left in the first row, there is no strong sense of weightlessness and tension. . At sunset, the sunset glow is gorgeous, and it is a very beautiful color in the sky no matter whether you look at it from the front or the back. Come to the Transformers base, it will be a pity if you don’t take a ride on this Decepticon roller coaster!
There is also a show called the Legendary Scene, which is actually queuing up and interacting with Transformers to take pictures. Optimus Prime and Megatron go to work in odd and even numbers, and near the elevator is the best place for little agents to interact with the Autobots! If you like, you can queue up to interact and take a group photo before performing the task!
Bumblebee gyro machine: Bumblebee transforms into a DJ, jump into a mini King Kong and help Bumblebee complete the task together!
Here, "Metrobes" joined forces with outstanding Chinese scientists to select a site rich in energy crystals in the suburbs of Beijing as the Beijing headquarters of the nest force N.E.S.T. In this top-secret ultra-high-energy technology zone, humans and Autobots form an alliance to protect the earth together.

In "Battle", this is also a unique event in Beijing, a very exciting show, a must-see! But there is a fixed time for the performances, everyone remember to go half an hour in advance, otherwise there will be no seats.
There are also different colors for the positions in the field, blue is wet, green is half wet, and red is not wet. But in fact, except for the front and middle position, the other places are not too wet! There will be 60 raincoats for sale at the scene, but there is no need to buy them. If you want to pursue excitement, you can sit in the front row, interact with the staff and receive a unique welcome ceremony of splashing water.
I have experienced it in Universal Studios Hollywood at close range before, but this time there is no queue to enter the venue. There are also unique themed dining and entertainment experiences outside the venue besides stunt performances. A variety of performance elements including percussion instruments.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Ollivanders is The House of Wands Show, Ollivanders history, dating back to 382 BC and they have been excellent wandmakers ever since! Here you will have the opportunity to witness firsthand how the wand chooses its own wizard. There will be old foreign wizards performing magic. This project, Yousutong, is useless, and you can discard it if you queue for too long.
Plus, at Ollivander's Wand Shop, a wand keeper will pick out an exclusive wand for one lucky visitor. Celebrity wands from Harry Potter, Hermione, Voldemort, and more are also available here. If you buy a wand, don't put it in a box, keep it in your hand! To substitute! Don't forget to look for the location of "casting magic" in the village according to the map.

If you are tired from playing, you can dine at the Three Broomsticks theme restaurant, or taste butter beer. Butter beer can be said to be one of the must-order items when going to Beijing Universal Studios. After all, this drink is a popular drink in the Harry Potter movie. Can you imagine the joy of drinking Butter Beer and eating grilled ribs at the Three Broomsticks in Hogwarts? You must sit outside to eat, next to the Black Lake and the castle! Butter beer has two prices: 50 yuan is a regular cup, and 80 yuan can get a butter beer special cup, which is divided into two types: smoothie and non-smoothie. Ordinary butter beer is the best. If the milk cap is salty, it should be happier.
If you are full of food and drink, you can also enjoy the performance of the Frog Choir, which is the voice of nature from frogs. Come and enjoy the wonderful performance brought by this choir composed of Hogwarts students and frogs. There is also a mobilization meeting for the Triwizard Tournament, where handsome men and beautiful women are particularly seductive.
Located in the very center of the scenic area, Hogwarts Castle is 47 meters high and is the second tallest building in the park. Entering this mysterious building, you will leave the Muggle world and become a "wizard". At night, the most anticipated thing is the Hogwarts Castle Night Lighting Celebration.

Then go straight to the Little People's Paradise, which is irresistible for both adults and children. This is a colorful world full of joy!

In Minions Paradise, I also become simple and cute, heartless and heartless! In fact, it is also an immersive 4D virtual reality experience similar to Harry Potter's Forbidden Journey. The little yellow people are very cute, and this park is very suitable for parents to bring their children.
The Minion Bazaar provides tourists with a good place to shop. It is a paradise for Minion lovers, offering a wide range of Minion products, including toys, cups, and clothing. Among them, the plush toys made with the elements of the Chinese zodiac allow tourists to find their own exclusive toys of the zodiac.

Coming out of Jurassic World, just in time for the "Grand Tour of the World". In the evening, many tourists came to both sides of the road and stopped to watch the parade of floats.
Accompanied by the dynamic film soundtrack, cartoon IP images familiar to tourists such as Minions, Gru, and Kung Fu Panda appear one after another, interacting enthusiastically with tourists.
"Global Parade" is a newly created original float parade performance for Beijing Universal Studios Theme Park. Different from other fixed performances in the park, the "Global Parade" will pass through several main areas of the Beijing Universal Studios theme park during the performance. The parade route is 1.2 kilometers long. Among the Universal theme parks around the world, so far, the floats of Universal Studios Beijing have the longest parade route, the largest floats and the latest design.

The IPs of Universal Studios come from popular movies all over the world, such as Harry Potter, Transformers, Kung Fu Panda... Pixel-level restoration of movie IPs, interacting with the souls of tourists.
Some tourists describe their feelings like this: "In Disney, I am a princess herself, but in Universal Studios, I seem to have succeeded in chasing stars." Seeing this, everyone should also understand that the underlying logic of Universal Studios' happiness is immersive movie watching+ Roller coaster + 4D virtual reality interaction, plus various themed check-in experience of eating, drinking and playing.
In the in-depth experience project, the details of the movie are deeply restored, and the shocking effect is achieved, and even has the effect of feeding back the movie. Some netizens said: I spent a day at the Universal Resort during the day, and replayed "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" at the hotel at night.
So it’s best to check out the movie before going! Universal Studios, the focus is on movies! If you haven't watched Harry Potter, Transformers, etc., what's the difference between going to Universal Studios and going to Happy Valley? Therefore, it is strongly recommended that students who have not seen the movie watch it before going (especially Harry Potter). You can also review what you have seen, it will definitely make your experience soar!
Prices for Universal Studios:
Many people say that it is very expensive, but it depends on where you compare it with. It is definitely not comparable to the price in the big market. The quality is different, the brand authorization is different, the environment is different, the cost is different, etc., and it varies from person to person. There are free direct drinking fountains in each scenic spot of Universal Studios, and you can also taste the authentic Hogwarts Castle butter beer.
Minion ice cream ice cream, 40 yuan/piece, very yellow and cute. Of course, you can also borrow other people's punch cards for free.

The one with scenic magic interactive function is 349 yuan, the ordinary collection is 299 yuan, the wizard robe is 849 yuan for adults and children, the sorting hat is 429 yuan, and the college badge is 99 yuan. It still costs a lot of money to complete a complete set of admission equipment.
In short, if you want to buy souvenirs, you can buy them. If you don’t want to buy them, you don’t need to spend much money to eat and drink! Don't be overly entangled in prices, enjoy the experience, and don't affect your mood. After all, you are in the happiest place in the world!
Souvenirs purchased can be picked up together!
Every theme park has shops selling souvenirs. If you have bought them, you can finally pick them up at the pick-up port of the store at the entrance of the scenic spot, so you don’t have to carry them all the way. If you are in a rush and don’t have any souvenirs to buy, don’t worry, there is a huge and comprehensive store at the entrance of the scenic spot, and you will never be allowed to go back empty-handed!
Comfortable attire:
In the whole day, you will basically take more than 20,000 steps and more than ten kilometers. You must prepare comfortable equipment suitable for hiking. Don’t be hurt by jeans and uncomfortable shoes. If you want to take beautiful photos, it is recommended to prepare additionally. No one The goddess can walk the whole distance in high heels. In case of bad weather, there are umbrellas and raincoats for sale in the park, and even rented strollers can be equipped with rainproof shelters. In case of physical discomfort or excessive fatigue, there are also wheelchairs available for rent in the park.
After a tense and fulfilling day, although exhausted, the staff of the scenic spot are smiling and waving their hands, which is super contagious and makes people feel happy. Even if the weather is not beautiful, there are enough choices for many indoor projects. As night falls, the entire Universal Studios is lit up, and the whole scenic spot is another scene, with bright lights and green water, and is extremely prosperous. After watching the light show and walking out of the park, the big earth of Universal is still spinning, and people are still reluctant to part with taking pictures and lingering.
The movie will eventually end, and a beautiful day will always pass. Walk back to the city avenue. If you don’t want to give up, you can have a supper and rest. The car bypasses the roundabout and basically gets on and off at the No. 38 parking space.
The above is my Universal Studios experience and tips and suggestions, it is still very worthwhile to bring family and friends to experience! On September 14th, you can place an order and book tickets through the official APP or mini program. I wish you all a good time!
