I went during the May Day holiday. After buying a ticket, the child said that he didn't want to take a boat. After I went in and saw the boat, the child regretted it. It was a little sad because it was past 20:00 and I couldn't get on the boat. Walking and walking unexpectedly to the ancient stage pier, seeing that there were still people queuing for the boat, I also went up to take my luck. God, I sat on it, it was really beautiful, I also learned history, and the experience was very good.
How can I not do a cruise ship when I went to Qilishantang? The whole thing is about half an hour. Although the weather is still a bit cold now, there are really many people in Shangtang Street. The boat experience is not bad, and there is no need to queue.
Not bad The night view is worth seeing. Overall, it is OK, but the pingtan is average, and it is an electric boat. There is no feeling of shaking the boat. It may not be recommended during the day, but the night view can still be seen.
The scenery here is picturesque, and every place is full of poetry and romance. The cultural heritage is deep, so that people can feel the weight of history and culture while playing. It is refreshing and refreshing, as if in a fairyland.
Jiangnan Pavilion Tower - courtyard-style performance, the landscape is absolutely, the customers are scattered in the courtyard, very comfortable. The level of actors needs to be improved and then increase the interaction with tourists. The actors can walk in the courtyard and the covered bridge to perform, that is absolutely, I really recommend it!
This attraction is really beautiful! The scenery is beautiful and the environment is quiet, which is very suitable for relaxing. The scenic area is managed in an orderly manner, and the service staff are warm and thoughtful, giving people a feeling of being at home. Definitely a recommended tourist destination! Bringing my family to this attraction, everyone is very happy! The scenic spot has beautiful scenery and many well-designed attractions and activities.
