Beijing International Film Festival itinerary: From Hollywood thrills to Grand Canal charm

This immersive route promises an unforgettable experience, taking you from a world-class theme park to a historically cultural landscape, and finally to modern architectural icons. Step into the magic world of Universal Beijing Resort, the largest Universal theme park in Asia. Walk through the magical alleys of Harry Potter's Wizarding World, battle alongside the Transformers and get lost in the thrill of Hollywood-style immersive entertainment. 

Then, follow the path of the ancient Grand Canal, heading north to the 5A-rated Beijing Grand Canal Cultural Scenic Area. Not to be missed are three iconic new cultural landmarks, each designed by world-renowned architectural teams: the Beijing Performing Arts Center, Beijing Library and the Grand Canal Museum of Beijing. These structures are where architectural beauty meets the art of light and shadow, creating spaces that are as visually stunning as they are functional. 

This is more than just a sightseeing route — it's a cinematic odyssey that transcends time, space and imagination, offering a unique blend of entertainment, culture and architectural wonder.
