Gallery Tour | Grandbeauty Art While you tour the Dafen Oil Painting Village you should talk with the artists. You will learn more about art style and culture. When you talk with them in their studios ask to see their best paintings in different lighting. While on my tour the artist showed me the peacock oil painting under natural light and white LED gallery light. It made a difference in my impression. I liked the painting of the peacock in the natural light. Many galleries will have artists painting or framing their work. Find the right time to strike up conversation. 🍭Traveler’s review: The Dafen Oil painting Village 大芬油画村 : Excellent ✅ #discoverchina See all my posts for more guides to Dafen Oil Painting Village.

🌈 Talking about Yancheng, old residents joke about 'Xin Ma Tai'! Newcomers surely know about the Salt Cube TV Tower! Yet, many here are unaware of~ the 'Eye of Yancheng,' the tallest Ferris wheel in Northern Jiangsu (65 meters)! It symbolizes romance~ 🌈 There are also pirate ships, giant pendulums, flying chairs, and carousels, which I think are indeed more suitable for young people! Then Dongdamen Children's Paradise and the Sports Factory are the amusement heavens for kids! 🌈 Dongdamen Theater, with irregular free performances, singing competitions, and more! If it's your first visit, you can also experience the unique Korean costume makeup photography here!!! 🌈 This is the Dongdamen KK-Park fashion and trendy play district in the economic development zone on the east side of Yancheng! 🌈 Yancheng | KK-PARK Dongdamen Amusement Park For those who love Kpop and Korean cuisine, this Korean atmosphere district is a must-visit, a Sino-Korean joint venture with Korean signs everywhere. There are various Korean cuisine restaurants for Korean food lovers to enjoy, and the Ferris wheel and carousel offer beautiful night views. After eating barbecue with the taste of Park Taiyuan, the flavor is quite standard. In the park, there is a souvenir shop with colors that are very Korean and photogenic.

💗 Fun to visit, great for photography, and delicious food~ The big pendulum ride feels more thrilling than the one in Nanjing Happy Valley, and the ticket is cheaper. I love the cultural and creative store, only visited the first floor, and later found out that the second floor has intangible cultural heritage + parent-child DIY, and the third floor has DIY scented candles. 💗 Tulips in spring, lotus in summer, lilies in autumn, and the Night Flower Sea Music Festival with fireworks during the summer vacation... A scenic spot I've visited countless times, great for photography! 💗 There's a bookstore and cultural and creative store on the first floor, and a coffee shop and exhibition area on the second floor, with some artistic activities usually happening. The space is not big, but it's very photogenic. 💗 There are many specialty stores, Tim's fried yogurt is so delicious, and you can also go to the opposite Salt Cube TV Tower to overlook the night view. 💗 Yan+ Book Fair photography yyds! 💗 The first choice to see lanterns, but usually not many people. Cinema, arcade games, barber shop, tailor shop, post office... Full of old Yancheng memories, especially suitable for photography and check-ins! There's a very nice warehouse-style living hall on the fifth floor! Tableware, murals, furniture, decorations... they have everything. 💗Bring your plus-sized appetite As an "immersive international entertainment district" that offers everything from dining, entertainment, and shopping in one place, Dongdaemun is home to dozens of international cuisines, with Korean, Thai restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and more. The styles are distinctive and the variety is plentiful. As tourists walk through, they feel as if they are on the streets of a foreign country, immersed in the experience of international cuisine. With this charming bite, the world is in your mouth! → Exciting Market At the Dongdaemun market, there is a collection of skewers, fruit salads, cotton candy, and frozen sweet dumplings among other delicacies.

The ticket from Yancheng Bus Terminal to Huahai is ten yuan a person. The journey is long and it takes more than one hour. Fortunately, catching up with the tourist season, the station's car will send you directly to the flower sea area. If it is off-season, it will only throw you at an unknown station, and you have to spend a penny on your own taxi. There is a semi-circular garland in the flower sea, and there is a small bridge. The bridge is full of flowers. When you go up, you want to take pictures. Wherever you go, you don't want to miss every corner. There is a large open space in the park. It should be a place for weddings. It is a very romantic thing to hold a wedding in such a beautiful space. And everyone who comes to Huahai will always linger on it, maybe this is the feeling of Huahai!
