It's a place to visit casually, but it's newly built and lacks foundation. I don't object to a 70 yuan entrance fee, but charging 10 yuan per trip for the elevator is a bit stingy. No wonder it's not a first-tier city; you could charge 80 yuan for the entrance fee.

The experience was great. Although it was a bit crowded, the cultural relics were truly a feast for the eyes. The tour guide, Shu Ping, was also excellent; her pronunciation was clear, complete, and fluent. Highly recommended! 😍😍😍

There were too many people during the National Day holiday, and the sightseeing bus had to wait for a long time, which made the time a bit rushed. The scenery of Luoyan Island is very beautiful, the tickets are not expensive, and the children's playground is also suitable for children. It is no problem to stay there for a whole day on a leisurely weekend.

A gentle evening breeze, carrying the unique moisture of the Yangtze River, brushed against the gunwale as the cruise ship slowly departed the dock, gradually unfolding the night of Wuhan. On the river, shimmering waves meandered along the wake of the ship, like scattered diamonds, reflecting the lights that lit up one after another on both banks—the eaves of the Yellow Crane Tower were adorned with a warm yellow halo, like a jade palace floating in the night; the neon lights along the riverbank stretched along the shoreline, intertwining with the lights of the rows of buildings on the opposite bank, weaving a flowing galaxy of light and shadow.

The park was brimming with Halloween spirit, with pumpkin decorations and themed mascots everywhere, as well as creatively designed burger and giant chicken installations, making for fantastic photo opportunities. Visitors also showed great enthusiasm, with various quirky costumes that were eye-catching, creating the atmosphere of a grand costume party with plenty of interaction.

Overall, it was alright! The kids had a good time! The only downside was that the ticket had to be verified at Gokurakuyu first, which was a bit of a hassle and inconvenient! You had to make a trip there, and I didn't know that at first. I only realized it when I got to the park's ticket checkpoint, so I had to go back to Gokurakuyu!

As in here in Wuhan for a few weeks, I found a moment to walk away from business and today’s itinerary includes Wuhan Zoo. What a treat. The animals are beautiful, are in great health and seem to enjoy themselves despite the rainy weather. It’s a recommendation, just don’t tap the windows, you know? I mean, seriously, there’s a sign asking you not to. It’s bothering the animals. There’s loads of viewing space, the staff are amazing and super helpful. Gift shops have actually good and memory-making things. A definite recommendation
