Today the sun is just right, so I decisively took the kids and the bikes straight to Wangu Dike. The roadside was already full of parked cars, as everyone has been cooped up all winter and needs to come out to embrace the sun. The Wangu Dike is bustling with activity on a spring weekend, with all the shops along the way open for business. The green train restaurant by the roadside is ready to go, and the entrance to the Sesame Dessert (Wangu Dike store) is filled with people basking in the sun. Of course, there are various snacks, such as cotton candy, starch sausages, ice cream, and so on. In the newly opened Time Meng Pet, for 25 yuan, you can feed alpacas, rabbits, and guinea pigs, and right next to it is a fishing area. Dads can bring their fishing gear and enjoy fishing under the warm sun. If you feel a lack of excitement, there is also a bay track off-road field nearby where you can ride your beloved off-road motorcycle for a thrill. You can also rent a colorful raft and shuttle through the streams by the side of Taihu Lake, or stroll through the wooden bridges in the forests, rent a bike to ride on the dike by the lake, or just walk slowly, enjoying the leisure and tranquility. The lawn by Taihu Lake is also available for camping🏕️. Bring your own tent⛺, set it up directly, and let the kids play and frolic around.
