The world's fifth Universal theme park with 7 immersive themed zones delivering world-class entertainment — ideal for families and young visitors.
Universal Beijing Resort is the fifth Universal theme park in the world and the third in Asia, located in Tongzhou District, Beijing, covering approximately 400 hectares. Since its grand opening in September 2021, it has quickly become one of the most popular theme park destinations in Beijing and across China, welcoming over 10 million visitors in its first year.
The core of the resort is Universal Studios Beijing theme park, featuring 7 immersive themed zones — The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Transformers Basecamp, Jurassic World Isla Nublar, Minion Land, Kung Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness, Hollywood, and WaterWorld — each faithfully recreating iconic scenes and worlds from the films. Additionally, Universal CityWalk offers a vibrant commercial district with dining, shopping, and entertainment, open to the public for free.
The greatest highlight of Universal Studios Beijing lies in its world-class ride attractions and immersive experiences. From soaring through the skies on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, to the extreme thrills of the Transformers roller coaster, to the dinosaur encounters in Jurassic World Adventure, every experience combines advanced motion platforms, 4D effects, and practical set design to truly let guests "step into the movies." Whether for families, young couples, or movie enthusiasts, everyone can find their own joy here.
The undisputed number one attraction at Universal Studios. Riding the mechanical arm simulator flight, you soar through Hogwarts Castle, the Forbidden Forest, Quidditch pitch, and other iconic scenes, enhanced with 4D wind and water effects for maximum immersion. The queue area itself is a must-see — walking through the Hogwarts corridors, admiring moving portraits and the Sorting Hat, and enjoying a butterbeer is every Harry Potter fan's dream come true. We recommend rushing in at park opening or purchasing an Express Pass, as wait times can exceed 2 hours during peak periods.
The world's longest Transformers ride, ~5 minutes total. Ride a battle car through urban combat alongside Optimus Prime and Bumblebee against Megatron. 3D visuals seamlessly blend with real sets; explosions and water splash effects send adrenaline soaring. One of the park's most thrilling rides. Height requirement: 102cm+.
Ride an off-road vehicle deep into Isla Nublar's jungle, encountering T-Rex and Velociraptors up close. Dark ride + mechanical dinosaurs + big-screen projection creates a thrilling prehistoric world. The T-Rex cage-break moment is intensely immersive. Suitable for all ages with moderate thrills — a family favorite.
The world's largest Minion-themed zone — colorful and child-friendly. Minion Mayhem is the core ride, launching "Gru's Lab" in chaotic experiments with strong interactivity, perfect for families. Plus Super Swirly rides, Minion merchandise shops, and themed food. This area has the highest photo output rate.
The world's first Kung Fu Panda indoor themed area — fully enclosed, perfect for winter and summer. Based on the Jade Palace and Valley of Peace, featuring Dragon Warrior rides and Chinese martial arts performances. Rich in Chinese elements with pavilions, bamboo groves, and mountain scenery — visually stunning and culturally familiar. Best refuge on rainy or cold days.
Enter at park opening → Head straight to Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (shortest queue at opening) → Flight of the Hippogriff → Transformers: Battle for the AllSpark → Decepticoaster → Jurassic World Adventure → Lunch (off-peak at 11:00 or 14:00) → Jurassic Flyers → Minion Mayhem → Kung Fu Panda area → Hollywood Lights Camera Action → WaterWorld Stunt Show (check show times and arrive early for good seats) → Re-ride popular attractions with shorter queues before park closing.

This route avoids the most intense rides and keeps a relaxed pace.

Consider half-day or afternoon tickets.
Wand Interactive: Buy an interactive wand (~¥349) at Ollivander's to trigger magical effects at designated windows and spots in the Harry Potter area — objects float, glow, or move. Staff teach correct spells and wand movements — a deep experience for Potter fans.
WaterWorld Stunt Show: A large-scale water stunt show based on the classic film, with live performers executing high dives, explosions, and speedboat chases. ~30 min, 2-3 shows daily. Arrive 30 min early for front-row "splash zone" (more fun) or back "safe zone" (dry). Especially refreshing in summer.
Character Meet & Greets: Scheduled character parades and meet-and-greets with Kung Fu Panda Po, Minions, Transformers, and more. Minion meet-and-greets in Minion Land; Bumblebee is a popular photo partner at Transformers Base. Check the park app for daily character schedules.
Themed Food Tour: The food at Universal Studios is a highlight in itself. The Three Broomsticks restaurant's butterbeer and roast chicken legs are must-try classics (Harry Potter zone); the Sunset Restaurant offers Chinese-Western fusion cuisine (Hollywood zone); Dr. Hammond's restaurant features exquisite themed desserts. CityWalk also features specialty restaurants including Quanjude and the Chocolate Factory.
Night Light Show: On holidays and weekends before closing, large-scale light and music shows feature Hogwarts Castle or iconic buildings with lights, lasers, fountains, and fireworks — the perfect end to a Universal Studios day. Check official announcements for schedules.
Universal CityWalk: Free commercial district before the park entrance with dozens of restaurants and shops including Quanjudu, Chocolate Factory, Bubba Gump, and Neon Market. No admission needed — ideal for pre-park meetups and post-park dining. Great night lighting for strolling and photos.
Resort Hotels: The Universal Studios Grand Hotel (adjacent to the park entrance, early entry available) and the NUO Resort Hotel (Chinese luxury style) are the official resort hotels. Guests enjoy early park entry privilege (1 hour before regular visitors). That extra hour lets you rush to popular attractions without queues, making a huge difference in your experience. Several budget hotel chains are also available nearby.
Transport: Subway Line 1 (Batong Line) and Line 7 both reach "Universal Resort Station" — ~7 min walk to CityWalk. By car: navigate to "Universal Beijing Resort," large parking lot (¥100/day). ~1 hour from city center.
Nearby: Tongzhou District's tourism is growing — combine with Grand Canal Forest Park (cycling, boating), Beijing Arts Center (performances), and City Green Heart Park. If coming from downtown, combine with Tongzhou Wanda commercial area for dining and shopping.
