Entering from the south gate, you take an elevator all the way to the top of the mountain, and then ride a shuttle bus from one stop to another. The area is filled with greenery, a natural oxygen bar, very comfortable. We even saw a giant goose standing on one leg – it was so big inside, it was a bit tiring for my legs!
To be honest, this place is more suitable for older people. Young people might just want to take a quick photo, but there's not much to it. As a Northeasterner myself, I didn't find it particularly interesting. The park is quite large; a normal visit would take at least 4 hours, as waiting for the sightseeing bus at each stop takes about 5-10 minutes.

Hulishan Fort, located on Hulishan Mountain in the southern part of Xiamen Island in Fujian Province, my country, is a historic military facility. Built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, it served as a crucial component of China's modern coastal defense. Numerous ancient artillery pieces are on display here, each bearing a rich historical story and bearing witness to Xiamen Island's turbulent history.
The ticket price is 25 yuan per person, which is very cost-effective. I arrived around 10 o'clock in the morning just in time to watch the show. After watching the show, I walked around. The scenic area is very clean and comfortable, and there is a different world inside.

My child was so excited about the whale specimen, and was immediately overwhelmed by its sheer size. He cried... a true example of "Lord Ye's love of dragons" (a Chinese idiom meaning someone who professes to love something but is actually afraid of it)... hahaha. The guide was incredibly gentle and patient, and I thoroughly enjoyed the explanations! A million thumbs up!
This science and technology museum uses a "visible and tangible" approach to make dry scientific knowledge lively and engaging. Whether it's the basic science exhibition area for teenagers or the cutting-edge technology exhibition for adults, both areas offer tailored teaching methods. The exhibition areas feature concise and clear explanations, along with animated demonstrations and interactive experiments, making even complex physical laws easily accessible. More than just an exhibition space, it serves as a bridge connecting the public and science, making it a perfect base for popular science education.

Mangshan Wuzhifeng Scenic Area is undoubtedly the most worthwhile mountain to visit in Hunan Province. Compared to Huangshan, its terrain is more precipitous, and its beauty is equally stunning. The scenic area has built barrier-free access, making it a mountain you don't have to "climb." On the day of your visit, the area is shrouded in mist, creating a fairyland-like atmosphere. Those who enjoy hiking can go to Mangshan National Forest Park, also known as the West Gate. There is no cable car there; you can only hike. There is a path from the summit leading to Wuzhifeng Scenic Area, but an additional 150 yuan entrance fee is required.
The sea of clouds here is really beautiful in autumn, and the Five Finger Peak is also beautiful. The whole journey is barrier-free and suitable for both young and old. This is a mountain that can be reached without climbing. The whole journey is on the cliffs, and it takes about 4 hours to walk down.

The scenery is very nice. Holidays are crowded, and the restaurant was packed. The speed of replenishing dishes was OK. The fish was not fresh and a bit smelly. The other ingredients were OK and tasted OK. I hope to pay attention to the quality of seafood in the future.
The scenery on the boat is very beautiful and the overall fun is also very strong. I have been on Guangzhou and other Shanghai boats before, but the culture on this boat is not as good. The entertainment activities on this boat are very motivating. But the meal is just average. I went there late at night and there was nothing to eat. Although there was always food to eat, the variety became very limited.

How could you visit Quanzhou without a trip to the South Shaolin Temple? I rushed to catch a taxi and made it to the Sunday afternoon show at 4:30 PM. The temple isn't very large, so don't allow too much time; 1-2 hours is enough. The performing monks were very dedicated; the youngest was probably only 3-4 years old. They were very endearing, but it was also touching to see them working so hard at such a young age, the same age as my son. Overall, it was a great experience. There's a Buddhist supplies shop nearby after the performance; you might want to check it out.
This was the most amazing part of my trip to Quanzhou. Absolutely amazing! Absolutely worth the money. We parked in the wrong parking lot and had to walk quite a distance to the martial arts hall. The scenery was stunning, and the stone carvings were incredibly charming. My mother, a cancer patient, uses a wheelchair, so we had to support her on our way there. Going down the stairs was fine, but the only thing we worried about was getting back. She was incredibly excited during the show, and after we finished, I held her hand and we managed to climb the stairs ourselves, finally making it back to the parking lot, panting. It must have been a form of healing; seeing her vibrant smile, so long ago, was so joyful. A huge thank you to the performing artists; please accept my greetings.

The teahouse in Wudian City is a place where you can watch puppet shows. It is worth it. I watched wonderful puppet shows, including "Little Bald Head Goes Down the Mountain", "Daming Mansion", and "Wu Song Fights the Tiger". I learned puppetry skills and can also experience puppetry. The intangible cultural heritage is worth watching. The service is also very good and the water is added in a timely manner.
The puppet master performs three shows: string puppetry and hand puppetry. It's amazing! I heard that he started practicing at the age of 12. The performance of Wu Song fighting the tiger is very exciting! It's worth taking the children to see.

I love to play, so I chose a Monday to bring my fifth-grader for a wild ride. Mondays are incredibly crowded, and there are no lines. The rides are often fully booked, making the experience truly amazing. Since there's no line, I can skip getting off and queue again, and simply play a second time. We watched the evening parade before heading home. Each parade team was beautifully designed, and the characters were very engaging and engaging with the crowds. There are still many areas I haven't explored yet, so I'll definitely come back next time.
During the National Day holiday, my family and I brought our children here for four days and three nights. We went to Happy Valley, Shenzhen Bay Park, Shenzhen MixC, and watched the Giant Exhibition. We gained a lot and had a lot of fun. Adults and children had a lot of fun. Happy Valley is highly recommended. It is highly praised. I will come to play yyds next time.

Quanzhou puppet show is absolutely amazing! The puppets move so nimbly, their expressions so vivid, as if they were brought to life. The actors' superb skills completely immersed me, allowing me to experience the profound charm of intangible cultural heritage.
Although not many people watched it, it was still a unique feature. Watching the master control so many lines all by himself was simply amazing. It would have been even better if there were more characters and storylines involved; one person alone felt too one-dimensional.

Loved it. Lots to do, you could spend all day there. Also make sure you hire a buggy. This place is huge.
The Fantawild Hotel in Xiamen is quite unique. When we got there, we went to Fantawild to play. We saw that the room we booked could see the light show at night. The swimming pool was also very nice. It was very special to swim on rainy days. You could even see the fireworks. However, I lost a pair of slippers there and couldn't find them. Maybe I thought Fantawild was so good that I didn't want to come back.
