It's pretty good, like China's Disneyland, haha. It's great for taking kids to play, learn about Chinese history, and let children immerse themselves in the efforts and sacrifices made by our ancestors for the great rejuvenation of the motherland, cultivating their patriotism. It's quite good.

It was raining a bit when we went, so we didn't get any pictures of the blue sky and white clouds, but walking in the drizzle was quite pleasant. It was the kids' first time feeding cormorants and pheasants, which was a lot of fun.

This place is very close to Fantawild Adventure, making it the top choice for visiting Fantawild. The breakfast is plentiful, including oatmeal porridge and rice cake soup, and it tastes great! The lobby is spacious and offers delicious afternoon tea. The room was quite clean; this time we were given a room on the 20th floor with panoramic views of the surrounding area. The takeout options are plentiful, offering various cuisines, including glutinous rice balls and seafood. Yan from the room service was very welcoming; she called to ask about children's slippers and toiletries, and they were delivered very quickly. She proactively contacted us when we left something in the room, which was very reliable! I'll definitely book here again next time.

It's a small scenic area on the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, but the scenery is quite nice. There's an exhibition hall that tells the history of the bridge's construction, which is very impressive. There's also an observation deck and a tall building, similar to the Oriental Pearl Tower, 17 stories and 146 meters high. The seawater is muddy, as it's an inland sea. Parking is convenient.

Extremely photogenic! I stopped by on my way back to Shanghai from Yuyao to check it out. Stepping into the China National Geographic 3D Magazine Space is like stepping into a giant pop-up picture book. The mountains, rivers, and creatures depicted on paper are transformed into immersive scenes. Light and shadow, landscaping, and various interactive installations allow for a direct experience of the magnificence of nature. It balances science and aesthetics, making geographical knowledge no longer dry. The only drawback is that the exhibition hall isn't very large.

It's really a place with few people and beautiful scenery on weekends, and there are all kinds of delicious food. It's definitely worth recommending. Shanghai happened to be hit by smog and I had to escape quickly. Here, there are beautiful mountains, water and people. I like the company of fish and water, and there are all kinds of delicious lake seafood.

The nighttime fireworks show was incredibly atmospheric, and the happiness level was off the charts! ✨ Short Captions for WeChat Moments 1. 🎢A Day at Fantawild|Full of fun, fireworks conclude, today's day is a perfect ending 🌆 2. Escape to Fantawild and be a kid for a day, thrilling rides + stunning fireworks, a truly worthwhile trip. 3.

Long review version (highly rated on the platform) This trip to Fantawild was a fantastic experience. The park was clean and the variety of rides was amazing. The thrilling roller coasters and pendulum rides were incredibly satisfying and relaxing. The 4D theaters had realistic special effects, immersing visitors in traditional Chinese mythology – a truly breathtaking experience. The parade was lively and fun, and the NPC interactions added to the atmosphere. At night, the castle lights up, and fireworks burst into the sky, creating an absolutely divine ambiance. It's perfect for groups of friends or couples, offering a fantastic experience and great value for money.

The Ningbo Boonie Bears Happy Harbor Park isn't large, but its open-air street design makes it more welcoming and inclusive. Even without buying tickets to ride the attractions, you can stroll around, watch shows, and participate in interactive activities, easily enjoying the holiday atmosphere. It's especially suitable for families with children, allowing them to spend a relaxing and joyful time together.

Although my trip to Yuyao was rushed, I still managed to steal a moment in the afternoon to visit Wang Yangming's former residence in the old town area. Located in the heart of Yuyao, the residence is free – a big thumbs up! For small groups, a guided tour is recommended. The residence is small yet fully functional, especially with a café in one corner of the courtyard. Wang Yangming (1472-1529), originally named Yun, later changed to Shouren, courtesy name Bo'an, commonly known as Master Yangming, was a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. He was a renowned philosopher, educator, and military strategist in ancient my country, holding the official position of Minister of War in Nanjing, and was posthumously honored as Earl of Xinjian. Despite a life filled with hardship and adversity, he upheld virtue and righteousness, possessing both literary and military talents, achieving remarkable success. His unique "School of Mind" system, in particular, broke through the barriers of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism at the time, occupying an important position and exerting a profound influence after the Ming Dynasty. His disciples are found throughout the country, and his scholarship continues to this day, making him a giant in the academic world and a "teacher for a hundred generations." Wang Shizhen, a renowned scholar of the Qing Dynasty, praised Wang Yangming, saying that he was "at the pinnacle in establishing virtue, merit, and words," and called him "a first-rate figure of the Ming Dynasty." Therefore, it is worth visiting if you have the time.
