|Celebrate National Day at the Yancheng Holland Flower Sea! My immersive fun season
Who gets it! Going to Yancheng Holland Flower Sea during National Day, I was so swept away by the romance I didn’t want to leave!
Family, the Yancheng Holland Flower Sea during the National Day holiday is absolutely amazing! It just happens to coincide with the Lily Flower Cultural Tourism Season from 9.26 to 10.31, combining a romantic atmosphere with the lively Golden Week vibe for a double hit. You’ll regret it if you don’t rush over!
📸 A must for photo lovers! 100% photo-worthy magical spots
As a hardcore photography enthusiast, I have to recommend these picture-perfect spots first!
- Core Lily Flower Sea: Pink, white, and yellow lilies in full bloom, a true dopamine feast! Just stand among the flowers, no need to pose deliberately, every snap looks like a “flower fairy” masterpiece. Caption it and watch your social media likes explode~
- Dutch-style Landmark: The colorful cottages and windmills give such a foreign vibe. Pair with a light-colored dress and you can instantly shoot a European town photo spread, gentle and photogenic.
- Nighttime Drone Show: Key point! From 10.1 to 10.6 every day from 9:00 PM to 9:15 PM, the St. Lawrence Art Center’s 1,000-drone performance is super stunning! The lights weave dazzling patterns in the night sky. You won’t want to put your phone down while recording the whole show. It’s the absolute star of the night scene.
🎉 Immersive ways to play, guaranteed all-day happiness
Besides photography, there’s so much fun to be had! The pet camp lets you feed lambs and cuddle soft bunnies, with interactive photos full of healing vibes. When tired, head to the Happy Blue Sea Cinema for a movie or try a flower hairpin travel shoot to fully unlock the immersive vacation mode.
