What to do
- Metro Line 7 to Universal Resort station. Driving into that district on a weekend is a mistake.
- The single-rider queues are underused here compared to Western parks and can save an hour.

Universal Beijing Resort北京环球度假区
The largest Universal park in the world by area, and it arrived with a genuine exclusive: Kung Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness exists nowhere else, which is a neat inversion given the franchise's subject. Otherwise the headline lands are the familiar ones done at scale — a Harry Potter Wizarding World, Transformers, Jurassic World and a Waterworld stunt show. It is far enough out of central Beijing that the metro line built to serve it is the sensible way in, and it works better as a full day with a hotel night than as an add-on to a sightseeing day.
