🌈I have a boy who is obsessed with subways. Ever since he saw Wuhan’s high-tech maglev train on the Internet, he has been attracted to it. In order to fulfill our child's wish, we came all the way from Beijing to experience it. Our child's dream came true and everything was worth it. [Yeah][Yeah][Yeah] The following is a guide and experience, I hope it will be helpful to friends who want to come: ⭐ Transportation Guide: I strongly recommend taking the subway 🚇. No matter which line you take, you will need to transfer to Line 11 and get off at Guanggu 4th Road Station, which is the Guanggu Skytrain Gaoxin Avenue Station. After exiting the station, buy a SkyRail ticket and enter the station to experience it. [Tiptop] ⭐Route: Jiufeng Mountain⛰️—Longquan Mountain⛰️ 🎫Ticket price: • 💰30 yuan for unlimited rides (cannot exit the station during the journey) •💰40 yuan for unlimited rides (enter and exit the station at will during the journey) There are also discounted tickets on the website, which can be redeemed directly at the ticket office for paper tickets. ⭐ Itinerary tips: It is strongly recommended to take the bus from Gaoxindadao Station to Jiufengshan Station, and then take the bus from Jiufengshan Station to Longquanshan Station. The advantage is: there are many people at Gaoxin Avenue Station, but if you take the bus to the Jiufeng Mountain terminus and then to Longquan Mountain, there will be fewer people at the terminus, so after getting on the bus you will not only have a seat but also be able to find the best viewing position. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Full of technology, the future is here. When dreams become reality, children's joy is beyond words. As a mother, I am willing to do my best to accompany him and fulfill his wishes. Life is about experience, enjoy it.
