My Trip to Dragon Dream (Despite the Mixed Reviews!)

I'd seen a lot of mixed reviews about Dragon Dream online, and the warnings had me a little worried. But my love for adventure won out, and I decided to visit during the off-season! Now, I'm sharing my honest experience and a super detailed guide with you all, so you can decide if it's worth the trip. 📍 Stop 1: 🐒 Dragon Dream Animal World 🎫 Adults: CNY 190, Children: CNY 135 Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Animal World is HUGE! It's divided into a walking area and a driving area. I highly recommend the walking area for a truly immersive experience. Take your time strolling through, observing the animals up close! 🔴 Must-See Areas: 1️⃣ African Savannah: 🦒 Giraffes, 🦓 zebras, 🐘 elephants! You can buy feeding cards for CNY 20 each or CNY 100 for 7 and interact with the animals. Great photo ops! 2️⃣ Predator Zone: 🦁 Lions, 🐯 tigers, 🐻 black bears. I recommend taking the free 🚂 train tour. 3️⃣ Petting Zoo: Perfect for kids, with adorable baby animals! ☺️ 📍 Stop 2: ⛵️ Fisherman's Wharf 🎫 Free Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fisherman's Wharf is best visited in the evening. Enjoy the lake breeze, delicious seafood, and amazing atmosphere! The scenery is stunning, with the lake shimmering under the sunset. It feels like you're at the seaside! Perfect for photos 📷, and you can also see the iconic "Toilet Seat" building of Huzhou! Great for a city walk ‼️ 📍 Stop 3: 🎪 Dragon Dream Grand Circus 🎫 Adults: CNY 280, Children: CNY 200 Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Grand Circus was the highlight of my trip! The performance was absolutely breathtaking, with non-stop excitement! We saw the 7:30 pm show, which lasted 85 minutes. Arrive an hour early, as guest seating is first-come, first-served ‼️ I recommend the front row of the double seats in Section B, near the aisle. There are parades and clown interactions between each act, moving from left to right, so aisle seats offer the best interaction ‼️ 🌟 Summary Dragon Dream Huzhou is a bit pricey, but the overall experience is fantastic! The Grand Circus and Animal World are the absolute highlights! Go for it!
