A fulfilling and smooth trip to four cities in nine days
I love planning trips!
Around this time last year, I spent 9 days traveling around the eastern part of Hainan Island.
This year, I took my child to Chimelong. With a total of nine days, here's how I planned it~
⭐Day 1⭐: Shenyang to Zhuhai by plane. The early flight meant getting up very early. We landed at noon, and after checking in, we decided not to go far, saving our energy for a good rest. I searched for Tui Ji nearby, which was a 7-minute taxi ride away. Since there was a wait and it was cold, we decided to have oyster hot pot instead. The oysters were very fresh, and the prawns were alive. We packed a Tui Ji pork chop bun (delicious!) and went back to the hotel to put my child to bed. Dad went to a nearby supermarket to buy water and fruit.
⭐Day 2⭐: Macau day trip. In the morning, we had some of the egg tarts we bought yesterday. The Hengqin Port is next to the hotel, and we passed through customs smoothly. Once we got to the Ruins of St. Paul's, we started eating. See my previous post for a detailed guide. We cleared customs at 4 PM and went back to Zhuhai for a tea restaurant.
⭐Day 3⭐: My family doesn't like to sleep in. We usually get up around 7 AM. After breakfast at the hotel, we took a taxi to the Penguin Hotel. The Happy Family membership is quite useful, with fast check-in, room upgrades, and discounts at restaurants and shops. After storing our luggage, we went to Ocean Kingdom to play. There was a Chimelong show + fireworks in the evening. See my previous post for a detailed guide.
⭐Day 4⭐: Buffet breakfast at the hotel in the morning, then we went to the park to play. After carefully studying the map and theaters, we managed to see quite a bit in half a day. See my previous post for a detailed guide. At 1:30 PM, we took a bus directly from the Penguin Hotel to Beijing Road in Guangzhou. In the evening, we went to Dian Dou De for dinner, which was very tasty, and then took the subway to Canton Tower. We took the APM line.
⭐Day 5⭐: We ordered takeout in the morning, packed up, and took a taxi to Chimelong Xiangjiang Hotel to check in. At 9:30 AM, we took the shuttle bus to the north gate of the zoo. To avoid tiring my child out too much, we rented a stroller today and bought the Kuaiquda, making it a relaxing day. After the park closed, we went to Big Pigeon Restaurant nearby for dinner.
Xiangjiang Hotel is very good, and it's easy to order takeout. Having some mango pomelo sago and peach gum in the evening was so comfortable. The Xiangjiang rooms are quite large, and the shower water is great. Most importantly, it's bright. I don't like dim lighting.
⭐Day 6⭐: Hotel breakfast. At 10:00 AM, we took the shuttle bus to Birds Park. On the way, we even did a good deed. A couple was fighting, and the man was throwing the woman to the ground. We had to stop this behavior. What kind of man hits a woman? We asked the girl if she needed help, but she shook her head, looking aggrieved. We didn't know the cause, so it was hard to draw a conclusion, but we told the man that he wasn't allowed to hit people. We saw that the staff was also observing from a distance.
In the afternoon, we took the shuttle bus to Happy World. After playing, we went back to the hotel to pick up our luggage and checked in to our hotel on Beijing Road. In the evening, we strolled and ate on the pedestrian street. My husband and I both agreed that Guangdong food is too delicious.
⭐Day 7⭐: We slept in at the hotel, ordered takeout, and checked out at noon. We took the subway directly to the East Railway Station to go to Xiamen. In the evening, we had dinner with my uncle on Zhongshan Road, then went back to the hotel. We were very satisfied with Seaview Resort. Swimming, digging in the sand, the kids' club, and the botanical garden were all great. We started enjoying the hotel.
⭐Day 8⭐: The hotel breakfast was very rich. The peanut soup and satay noodles were good. We went to Gulangyu Island, but the weather was bad, so it wasn't fun. We just played at the hotel.
⭐Day 9⭐: We continued to play at the hotel and went to the airport at 4 PM for our return flight!
It was a very satisfying trip. You can see the detailed guides for each place in my previous posts.
This is my own travel diary, and I hope it can help those in need~
