    Great immersive experience for foreigners who have little knowledge of the song dynasty. The kids loved earning the paper money which you can use to swap for a little trinket. The show was amazing. I can see why it is the top 3 in the world. We had great front row seats and can see the stage moving .

    It worths a visit I had an amazing time with my family in Hangzhou Safari Park. I recommend anyone with kids to visit this place. In addition to animals, it has a small amusement park inside. The place is clean and animals are kept in good conditions.

    There were no crowded places during the National Day holiday, but Liangzhu Ancient City is large, beautiful, and rich in cultural history, making it a great destination for families. I love this place and will definitely come back next time. The only downside is that the electric cart rental fee within the scenic area is too expensive.

    The price is unbeatable; excellent value for money. It features tigers, giraffes, leopards, and bears. The park is a good size, perfect for young children. 2-3 hours is recommended. If you're using a stroller, think carefully, as there are quite a few steps. It's located near West Lake, so driving isn't very convenient (there are odd-even license plate restrictions).

    I went there on Thursday, so it’s very cheap 😅 I don’t know why. But to go to the damingshan tourist center , we took bus from hangzhou station, some says you need to buy ticket online, but since we go on Thursday, and not many people, we buy the ticket at the bus station, you need to go to the west part of the hangzhoudo (east hangzhou) station, there will be many buses parking hub, and you need to find blue bus (Lin An) written on the bus. The bus took us 2.30 hrs to get there, and from the tourist center get a shuttle bus and then take a cable car. Since the bus from hangzhou depart at 8.30, you will arrive at the ski field around 11.30am, for us we only have time to ski, and no time to walk around the mountain for the scenic area. As the bus from damingshan tourist center to hangzhou station depart at 4pm. The picture I share are the Hangzhoudo station , the damingshan tourist center and the trail to get to the cable car

    The 6,000-acre campus is neatly organized, with each college clearly divided into distinct sections. Taxis are available on campus to explore the main campuses. The school history museum is highly recommended! The environment is beautiful, the learning atmosphere is strong, and the cafeteria offers a wide variety of options, including Chinese, Western, and regional specialties!

    The children had a lot of fun and went rafting countless times. It was a bit cold indoors and needed a blanket. There were many outdoor activities that required a height of more than 1.3 meters to play. There were staff watching each pool, so parents could rest assured.
