Things to do in Dongyang

Worth every penny! We spent two days exploring Hengdian World Studios and managed to cover four attractions, including a Hanfu experience. Absolutely loved the outfits! The live performances were amazing too. Every single one was worth watching! ❤️

Personally, I thought it was quite fun. The NPCs in the park were great, the interactions were fantastic, and you could earn rewards. There was also plenty of food inside, and everyone in the park was very friendly. However, when it came time to redeem our rewards after the fun, those two people were like ghosts. They barely acknowledged us when we asked them anything. We didn't have enough rewards to exchange for something, and there were so many people. There was a sign saying that posting on WeChat Moments, Douyin, or Xiaohongshu could get you 10 rewards, but I wouldn't have known if I hadn't seen others doing it. I understand they must be tired after serving so many tourists all day, but that's their job, there's no way around it. If you choose this service job, you have to be enthusiastic. I had a great day, thinking the whole park was wonderful, but it was ruined by those two people at the entrance. I was very disappointed. Even the cleaning ladies inside were more enthusiastic than them.

A very nice place to visit and definitely worth the ticket price! The place is HUGE, so you’ll need a full day to explore all the attractions. Buggy rentals are available, but you’ll need to rent them separately at each scenic area, which can be quite pricey. Be prepared for lots of walking if you decide not to rent one! Overall, it’s a great place to visit and worth the experience. ✨

The place felt a bit old-fashioned when I went during a heavy rain. The atmosphere was still there, but it felt noticeably quiet. If it weren't raining, I could stroll around more and find plenty of food, shops, and entertainment options. It's similar to some food and beverage options in Shanghai and other areas, including Guangzhou.

The Forbidden City in the north and the Lu Residence in the south truly live up to their reputation. The Lu Residence covers a large area, and even just exploring the courtyards that require an admission fee takes quite a while. You can experience the grandeur of the mansion, the carved beams and painted rafters, and the profound family traditions. You can see the details and skill of the wood carvings everywhere, which is very impressive and well worth a visit.

Came here with my sister and did a day trip. I enjoyed most party of it. I was able to rent a trolly for each site, which makes traveling and hanging around so worth it because I don’t have to walk. I loved that it was not crowded and it was not packX weather was also great. Only thing I didn’t like was that they had dragon floaty everywhere and it was hard to take beautiful pictures with them in the background. I will definitely visit again.

Absolutely stunning! I found so much more than I expected. Full-scale replicas of European monuments, temples, palaces… simply incredible!The recreation of the Old Summer Palace is truly breathtaking. It’s majestic, yet it’s still impossible to imagine just how magnificent these gardens must have been before their destruction.For some reason, the park wasn’t crowded at all, so I could explore everything at my own pace and enjoy a peaceful, relaxing walk.An absolutely wonderful park and a fantastic place to spend the day!

It was really cold in winter, so you definitely need to dress warmly. This was my second visit, and the experience was different from my first summer visit. The first time, it was just a quick look around, but the second time, besides experiencing the tram rescue, I also saw a fantastic circus performance. The value for money was amazing! A place I highly recommend!

It wasn't quite what I expected, but overall it was okay. Dream Valley was a bit more fun; the rest was mostly for sightseeing. The kids weren't that interested, especially the ancient costume makeup and photo shoot experiences. Definitely avoid the makeup service next to the Ming and Qing Palace gate—it costs three times more than makeup at the Qingming Riverside Scene or other places! The clothes are old, tattered, and there are so many people!

The Yuanming New Garden in Hengdian is definitely worth a visit! Recreating the grandeur of the imperial garden according to historical records, its red walls, palaces, lakes, pavilions, and terraces offer picturesque views at every turn. The blend of classical Chinese and Western architecture creates stunning photo opportunities. The park boasts a tranquil environment with lush vegetation, allowing visitors to experience its rich historical atmosphere, making it ideal for family-friendly educational trips. With excellent service and a comfortable experience, immersing yourself in the splendor of this "Garden of Gardens" is truly worthwhile! (98 words)
