Spend your Wuhan family vacation at Moshan and ride the macaron cable car. Come to Moshan Scenic Area during the May Day holiday! The cable car with macaron color scheme is simply stunning, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Donghu Lake. Take the cable car up the mountain and the slide down the mountain! A 9-month-old baby can ride the slide without any problem, and you will want to play more after playing! It's worth taking the kids to experience it. Travel guide 1 We have a Wuhan annual pass, so we took the boat to Moshan for free. We also wanted to experience taking the boat, so we parked at the Chufengyuan parking lot and walked to the pier to take the boat! 2. After taking the boat to Moshan, you can directly buy tickets to take the cable car. The cable car ride costs 30 yuan per person for those over 1.3 meters in height, and 15 yuan per person for those under 1.3 meters. The cable car ride up the mountain takes about 18 minutes, with enough time to enjoy the beautiful scenery and take photos. 3 We chose to slide down the mountain, so don't buy a return ticket when buying cable car tickets. The slide is worth playing. It's okay for a one-year-old baby to play. You can control the sliding speed when sliding with adults. The price for sliding down the mountain is 35/person and 15/person for children. After going down the mountain, you can take a walk in the Chufeng Garden, and then take a sightseeing car to the place you want to go. There are many children's play projects near the Donghu Eye Ferris wheel, but we didn't make it because the children fell asleep as soon as they got on the sightseeing car. It's a good idea to go early and play all day. Climbing the mountain is also nice, as it's very cool in the mountains. If you take a boat tour, be sure to pay attention to the time. We arrived at 11:30 and thought we could board right away, but the boat only departs on the hour. We ended up waiting at the dock until 12:00 to board. The return boats depart every half hour at 1:30, 2:30, and 5:30. Attention: ✔Don't miss the time to take a boat ride! ✔Prepare more food for the baby, can play until 5pm and take the boat home. ✔Adults can enjoy some fried skewers, cold noodles, hot dry noodles, and the like in Moshan. ✔Slide safely, there are reminders not to play with your phone. I took this video under safe conditions. Transportation: 401, 402, 413 terminal station (Lumoshan Station on Rumo Road), get off and walk along the road for about ten minutes to reach the gate of Moshan. Drive to Chufeng Garden parking lot with navigation, 6 yuan/day.
