Many thanks to Liu Jiaying, the hotel concierge and WeChat service ambassador, who contacted us by phone the moment we arrived at the hotel and led us through the VIP check-in channel. She also provided us with travel information and guidance, offering timely assistance that made our trip even more enjoyable! The hotel staff were a hit with both adults and children; we all slept soundly through the night, and the accommodation and sightseeing experience was superb!
Tickets are relatively expensive, but there's a 50% discount for birthdays. An annual pass is very cost-effective if you visit frequently. It's a great place for families. There are only two parade performances per day, so check the times in advance. It's best to enter from the North Gate in the morning. The panda triplets are not open before 1 PM, so going in the morning won't help, but you can still see the pandas.

This place is worth a visit. We bought the tickets online and we show them the online reservation screenshot in exchange an entry ticket. The whole zoo is big and it took us half a day to walk through. Most recommended to start from North gate so that you can take the Tram ride or cable ride and end your journey at the South Gate. Food shops are available along the way and best time to visit is weekday where there are lesser crowd
I tried out the free tickets that Ctrip Black Diamond VIP members receive every quarter. It rained a little on the day I went, which affected the experience a bit, but the good thing was that there weren't many people.

Taken on November 15, 2025. I've never seen such a clear sky, paired with orange-yellow grass—it's a different kind of beauty. I challenged myself, climbing from the Pingxiang side for the first time. I started climbing at 8:05 AM and reached the Golden Summit at 11:30 AM. It took an hour to circle the entire area around the base of the Golden Summit. At 12:30 PM, I set off for the glass walkway, but it ended after a short walk. I continued on, and by 1:30 PM, I was about 1000 meters from the Starry Sky Outdoor Campsite—exactly an hour later. When I saw a sign saying the Starry Sky Outdoor Campsite was one kilometer away, I panicked a little. I thought continuing straight ahead would allow me to circle back to the Golden Summit, but a quick online search revealed that wasn't possible. I quickly turned back, knowing I'd gone a long way and it would take a lot of time to get back. I needed to catch the bus back to the visitor center by 5:30 PM. I thought the buses stopped running at 5:30 PM, but after checking, I discovered the shuttle bus runs until midnight on Saturdays. It took about 20 minutes to get back to the glass walkway entrance. After resting for a while, it was already 2:33 PM when I reached the foot of the mountain. Incredibly, I arrived at the base around 4 PM, just in time to catch the bus. That means the descent took an hour and a half. It proves that fast is slow, and slow is fast. My only regret is not staying overnight at the summit; I heard the starry sky is especially beautiful there.
The hotel has complete facilities, a great environment, and parking available. There are many restaurants nearby, and it's very close to the scenic area. The room is a mountain view room, clean and tidy, with a separate shower and toilet, smart home technology, and a very quiet environment. The bedding is clean. There's a laundry room and gym on the second floor, and free luggage storage is also available. I'd definitely stay here again.

I recommend going in the morning, because if you go in the afternoon, you'll only get a portion of the hike before it gets dark. There's not even enough time to see the glass walkway. If you're bringing kids, it's basically just a quick visit. But if you enjoy hiking, you absolutely must go! It's even better if it's sunny. Otherwise, it's not worth the price.
Gaoyiling Scenic Area is not far from the city center, boasts beautiful scenery, and has complete supporting tourist facilities, making it a great place for taking photos. A certain level of physical fitness is required to visit, but it's not too difficult. It's important to note that when it's crowded, try not to park near the South Gate, as there's only one road in and out, and traffic congestion is severe.

The hiking trails are closed, and hikers can only take the Bailongtan road, which is a poor experience. The buses down the mountain only run until 5:30 PM. After that, you can only take private cars that are soliciting passengers on the roadside to get down the mountain.
The shuttle bus going up the mountain was going way too fast. The mountain road was winding and twisting, and very few people made it to the last stop to get off, so there wasn't even time to properly appreciate the scenery.

Lovely way to see the city lights! Ride is aroubd 80 minutes end to end or 60 minutes of actual boating. There are tiers from top floor to middle floor abd bottom floor. There are also different boats so you may get sone cool. Service was good, ship was of high quality and looked new and clean. Boarding begins 15 minutes before departure. Food and drinks can be ordered onboard. Recommend splurging and getting top floor as it's open air view.
Coming to Guangzhou must take the night cruise.It is the only time you can view the river at night with wonderful lights and scenery.The cruise journey took about 70 minutes or so.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

I really enjoyed the show. I purchased 1st class tickets but found that there was a lot happening behind me that I wasn't able to view. Many other customers were standing which was difficult. When I was watching the stage, the show was perfect. Very enjoyable. If I returned I would purchase cheaper tickets in the grandstand.
Worth getting VIP and interactive VIP seats. 1.5 hrs of entertainment. Great show! Part of the hotel requires furbishment.

This is the only grassland in the south, and it's truly breathtaking. If you have the stamina, you can conquer every hilltop. Everywhere you look is green, incredibly soothing. We were lucky enough to see a sea of clouds; locals said they rarely see such a beautiful cloudscape. Highly recommended!
It's definitely worth a visit. In the morning, a thin mist hangs in the air, like a veil covering the sky. As the temperature rises, the clouds part and the sun shines through, revealing rolling meadows, leisurely flocks of sheep, distant windmills, and various castles, making you feel like you've stepped into a fairytale world.

Yunshuiyao Ancient Town, named after the movie "Yunshuiyao", is located in the central part of Changjiao Town, Nanjing. It consists of Heguilou and Huaiyuanlou to the north and south, respectively. The scenery here is beautiful, with babbling brooks, ancient streets and old trees, and winding stone roads. Strolling through the ancient town, you can appreciate the scenery of the Tulou and ancient village and feel the distant past.
Stepping into Yunshuiyao is like entering a slow-motion ancient painting. The thousand-year-old banyan tree, with its lush foliage and drooping aerial roots swaying gently in the stream breeze, and the ancient cobblestone path, polished smooth by time, is the very location featured in the film "Yunshuiyao."
The Hegui Building, perched atop the marshland, is a marvel. Climbing it, the earthen building appears to float above the wetlands. The carved doors and windows of Huaiyuan Building hold the secrets of Hakka culture; the morning light filtering through the courtyard creates a serene beauty.
Walking along the stream, you'll see the old waterwheel turning gently. Enjoy a taro bun in the afternoon, and watch the lanterns along the stream light up one by one in the evening. Avoiding the crowds, listen to the elderly residents of the earthen buildings humming folk songs; time seems to stretch out, filled with the poetry and everyday life of this ancient village.
