It was quite interesting. The whole process was relatively relaxed. Special mention was made to the housekeeper July, who was very considerate, prepared tissues, and arranged the whole process properly. Today's task was not easy. We had one adult with two children, and the other family also had one adult with two children. The little boys were still quite worrying, while the adults were relatively relaxed, eating and drinking, burping～～～I will recommend it to my friends, and will look for July again when I go again. Love you🫰
OMG Park is a good experience, worth a visit!
The park has a cool atmosphere, many check-in spots, and a high rate of photo taking. Flying karts and rafting are children's favorites, but it's a pity that they can only play once, highly recommended! The cave feels average, mainly relying on the lighting effect, but it is indeed cool.
The staff is enthusiastic, the guidance is patient, and there are many dining options and reasonable prices. Popular projects on weekends require queuing, but the order is good and it is not difficult.
Whether it is a couple, friends or family trip, you can find fun, recommended!

The scenery is nice and worth a visit. The scenic area is not big. If you go to the mountains in spring and autumn, you can walk to visit. In summer, it is too hot. It is recommended to take the scenic bus, which will be much more comfortable.
The room is in a quiet location with convenient transportation. Parking is provided, which is very convenient. There are spare quilts in the closet of the room, the Internet speed is good, and the staff greets us when they meet. It feels good.

During this trip to Mount Putuo, the weather was so hot that I doubted my life. The scorching sun was so hot that it made people want to melt! However, we decisively chose to take the cable car up the mountain, which was really amazing! Not only did we avoid the test of the ground, but we could also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. It was so cool!
However, when waiting in line for the cable car, the line was like a long dragon, especially during peak hours, it was a bit crazy. Fortunately, we avoided the weekend and the waiting time was acceptable.
Speaking of Mount Putuo, there are really a lot of people, especially Fayu Temple, which was crowded and squeezed to doubt life! After trekking and queuing all the way, when I finally arrived at the temple, I was already tired like a paralyzed penguin.
In short, although this trip to Mount Putuo was so tiring that I doubted my life, it was still worth it! Next year I must choose a cooler season to go again, such as autumn, it will definitely be more comfortable!
4-hour extreme check-in line: Pier → Puji Temple (1h) → Fayu Temple (40min) → Nanhai Guanyin (30min) → Zizhulin (20min).
• 2-day 1-night practice line: On the first day, Xitian Scenic Area (Pantuo Stone Sunrise) → Baotuo Lecture Temple Morning Class → Qianbusha Meditation; On the second day, Luojia Mountain Island Hiking → Fanyin Cave Sea View → Longwan Village Watching Fishing Boats Return to the Port.
• Parent-child friendly line: In the morning, watch fishing boats at Nantianmen → dig sand at Baibusha; in the afternoon, feed pigeons in Zizhulin → buy cultural and creative ice cream at Nanhai Guanyin Square.

The first time I saw the endless sea, I was very excited. The sea water was very clean and the sand on the beach was very fine. This summer vacation, my mother took me to Huangcheng Beach. In summer, there are so many people coming to the beach! Especially children. There are some small sea creatures on the beach in the scenic area, and there are small crabs crawling there, but they are very sensitive and run faster than anyone else. I recommend that you must not miss Shipu Fishing Village. There are crowds of people on the beach.
In the fishing village scenic area, you can not only taste fresh seafood, but also appreciate the beautiful seaside wonders. The long coastline is an endless sea. The rolling sea surface and the blue sky are connected together; this is the so-called sea and sky are one color. When you enter the scenic area, you can see a large conch and a large fishing village ship standing on the square, which is very spectacular. There are also some fun amusement projects inside. The overall feeling of the scenic area is relatively new, and you can't tell that it has been open for more than ten years. Recommended!

Getting up early to visit West Lake, I understand the true meaning of "light makeup or heavy makeup is always suitable".
At daybreak, there are already old people doing morning exercises on Su Causeway. The Tai Chi moves sway with the willow branches, and the birds are singing more clearly than the tourists' praises. The lake seems to be covered with a layer of mist, and the stone pagoda of Three Pools Mirroring the Moon only reveals a hazy shadow. In the distance, the outline of Leifeng Pagoda gradually emerges in the morning light, like an ink painting slowly blurring out.
The lotus flowers by the Broken Bridge are stained with dew, and the pink and white petals are gilded by the morning light. When the wind blows, the lotus leaves roll like green waves, and occasionally red carp jumps out of the water, smashing the reflections all over the lake. The aroma of scallion stew wafts from the breakfast stalls, and the bitterness of Longjing is a collision of the market and poetry.
The rowers paddled the boat out of the fog, and the sound of the wooden oars stirring the water was particularly clear. The boat girl said that the West Lake is "alive" at this time - water plants sway under the boat, water birds fly over the water, and even the air is sweet with water vapor.
When the morning sun climbs over the mountain, the fog on the lake dissipates, and more and more tourists come, I realize how precious the tranquility just now is. If you come to the West Lake, you must get there before the crowds and see it without makeup.
The scenery of West Lake is different in each season, and each has its own beauty, but in general, each season is still very beautiful, and each season has its own characteristics.
The beauty of West Lake lies in the way it presents itself in each season and from each angle.
If you want to experience a cruise on West Lake, you can take the subway to Longxiang Bridge Station, or take a taxi to Hangzhou Hubin.
West Lake cruises are open all year round, and the cruise fee is also very cheap. You can buy it directly on the spot. The cruise time is about one hour. The advantage of the cruise is that there will always be a guide to explain the cruise during the cruise. The origin of the scenic spot and the historical and cultural background.

Tianzidi is very large. I took my children there. The environment is really good. You can take the magic ladder to go up the mountain. It's a lazy man's pace to go up the mountain without tiring your legs. Rafting is OK, and the go-karts are great!
Arrived at the park on Thursday afternoon, there were few people, all facilities were available for play, and the experience was very good. I rode the magic carpet up the mountain for about 5 sections + the flying leopard for 1 section, which was not tiring at all. The aerial roller coaster was very exciting, and the glass drifting was the most fun. I wanted to go for the roller coaster and drifting again, but unfortunately it was pouring rain after the drifting, and the staff were about to get off work when the rain stopped. There are other amusement facilities in the park, although not many, but adults and children can also have fun. It's just that the location is a bit remote. It takes 40 minutes to drive from the heartbeat park. Maybe it's remote so there are few people. Overall, it is highly recommended.
Remind those who want to go for the second ride, you must go early. It's almost too late to go for the second drifting if you enter the park at 1:30 pm, unless you don't play other rides and go straight to the roller coaster and drifting.

The price/performance ratio of the Dinosaur Park is very high. One ticket is good for two days, which is very user-friendly. There were not too many people when I went there, and I basically played all the Dinosaur Park in two days. My child is 9 years old, and most of them can play.
Changzhou China Dinosaur Park is a large-scale amusement park with dinosaurs as the main body, integrating theme parks, cultural performances, hot spring leisure, recreational business and animation creativity. There are many on-site interactions! It is fun for both big and small children!
Here you can explore the Jurassic while playing. It is one of the most popular theme parks in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai!
It is also a rare 5A-level theme park! Must-visit list in Changzhou! The experience is very good!

I booked two middle cabin packages with sachets on Ctrip. When I picked up the tickets, I was given one middle cabin and one upper cabin. I had to sit separately. The upper cabin ticket I took was more expensive than the middle cabin, but the seats were indeed green trains. The middle cabin sleeper and middle cabin seat tickets are the same, and the middle cabin seats are high-speed rail seats. The cruise company has a special ticket sales app, which is available on WeChat. You can buy economical and affordable tickets for consecutive seats a week in advance. The middle cabin can save 70 yuan per ticket. I bought two sachets for 140 yuan. Does anyone need them? 9.9 free shipping.
2 days and 1 night: Arrive at Miaozihu Island in the morning of the first day, take a sightseeing bus to tour around the island or walk along the coastal trail to check in at scenic spots; take a boat to Dongfushan Island in the afternoon, take a short rest after checking in, and watch the sunset in the evening. Get up early on the second day to watch the sunrise on Dongfushan Island, then you can move freely or continue hiking around the island, take a boat back to Miaozihu Island at noon, and then return.

It was my first time to Nansha. The sand was soft and the water was clear. The children had a lot of fun. We also brought a tent so that we could play on the beach for a while longer. It was a very relaxing place~
We went to play in May. Although we lived on the side and saw it there, we still needed to drive or bus there. At the door, parking is 10 yuan (private). I think it's okay. Nansha Beach, although the beach is not as good as Hainan, it is much better than our Shanghai. Walking by the sea, feeling the beating of the waves, it feels very good. There is a little bit of the sun here that is too big and very sun.

The following is an evaluation of Hengdian Film and Television City:
Advantages
- Rich scenes: There are many large artificial scenic spots such as the Qin Palace, Qingming Shanghe Tu, Ming and Qing Palaces, and more than 2,000 ancient costumes, period, and modern and contemporary film and television shooting scenes, which can meet the needs of different tourists.
- Complete supporting facilities: There are more than 40 five-star to business economy hotels in Hengdian Film and Television City, and more than 1,400 film and television companies. In addition, catering, shopping and other facilities are also available to provide convenience for tourists.
- Wonderful performing arts activities: There are dozens of large-scale performing arts shows such as "The Forbidden City Ceremony", "The Dragon Emperor's Surprise Arrival" and "Heavy Rain and Mountain Floods" in each scenic spot, which combine historical culture, film and television elements with stage performances to bring tourists a shocking audio-visual experience.
- Strong film and television atmosphere: As the world's largest film and television live-action shooting base, many film and television crews often shoot here. Tourists have the opportunity to meet celebrities here, feel the charm of film and television production, and may also participate in crowd actor experience activities.
Disadvantages
- Crowded tourists: During holidays or peak tourist seasons, Hengdian Film and Television City has a large number of tourists, and the scenic spots are overcrowded, which may affect the tourists' experience, such as long waiting time in line and obstructed vision when watching performances.
- High ticket prices: The ticket prices of Hengdian Film and Television City are relatively high, and each scenic spot sells tickets separately. If you want to visit multiple scenic spots, the cost will be considerable, which may be stressful for some tourists with limited budgets.
- Aging of some facilities: Due to the early construction time and frequent use, some facilities and equipment in some scenic spots are aging, such as roads, building decorations, etc., which to a certain extent affect the overall beauty of the scenic spots and the tourists' experience.
The Qingming Shanghe Tu scenic area is worth visiting. There are various interactive games inside. Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street are very fashionable. There is also Huanqiu Cinema. I also met the crew of the filming. It was fun.
