Luoshui Changgu Kite Festival Guide, Some Honest Advice|||🎈Kite Festival The "Luoshui Kite Festival" starts on March 5. Presale price: Book through the official Luoshui Changgu WeChat account before March 20 for only 9.9. Enter with the QR code. Pets are allowed. Parking is 10 yuan inside the park, and free on the roadside outside. ✨ After entering the park, there are several ways to reach the core area: 1️⃣Walk: 5 km, about 60 minutes. 2️⃣Electric sightseeing bus: 10 yuan/person. 3️⃣Steam train: 20 yuan/person. 4️⃣Boat: 2 yuan/minute/boat, about 40 minutes for the whole trip. 5️⃣Rent an electric minibus: Suitable for large groups! Charged by the hour, quite expensive. ✨ I took the sightseeing bus at the entrance, as 5 km is quite a distance. The core area has elf houses, a large lawn, a fairy tale town, a few sika deer. The lawn is still yellowish-brown in March. It will turn green after May, but it will also be very sunny. ✨ I chose to walk back. Lingshan Temple is opposite the park, where you can see the Goddess of Mercy and the pagoda. The 5 km walk offers pristine scenery, but there's not much to photograph besides the reeds. ✨ Overall, the park feels large but empty. The buildings are vacant, and only three or four elf houses are open. There isn't much to see. ✨ The strong wind in winter can knock you over, and the scorching sun in summer can make you dizzy. There's almost no shade. ✨ Perhaps because I've lived in Nanjing for a long time and have seen many parks with flowers and plants, as well as Jiangnan gardens, I couldn't find a single flowering tree in Luoshui Changgu in March. Just bare lawns and trees. The river is clear, and the sky is blue. ✨ However, for a small county town attraction, expectations shouldn't be too high. Although it's large but empty, rough, and lacking in depth, with various small transportation fees, it's still a good place for taking photos, camping, bringing kids, walking dogs, and spring outings. ✨ Although the county is small, it's nestled between mountains and rivers, like a cornucopia. I sincerely hope that the environment in my hometown will continue to improve, and the historical and cultural landscape will be better protected.
