Seriously, who gets it! I made the long trek to Xuzhou Jiudingshan Wildlife Park. I'm breaking down my honest experience for you—families with kids, just copy this itinerary📝! Drove 5 hours from Qingdao, hit some traffic on the way. Even just driving from downtown Xuzhou took over 1 hour. The journey is a bit grueling, but the experience is truly unique! It has 3 distinct feeding routes—by car, small train, and boat—for a fully immersive experience. Here's the honest truth: think twice before paying the extra CNY 200 to drive your own car into the park! The route isn't long, but it's prone to traffic jams. The upside is you can stop anytime for up-close animal interactions, so go for it if you have the budget and want a special experience. For those looking for value, just take the park's small train. You can't get off during the ride, but you can still feed the animals, and it's much less hassle. The must-see highlight👉International Circus! 50 minutes of non-stop action, aerial stunts, and grand spectacles. Both adults and kids will be amazed🎪! Then, stroll through the walking area to pet the cute animals. At the end, you'll reach the boat area. Although you can mainly only feed the black swans, the lake view atmosphere is top-notch. My kid kept asking to go again after the ride🦢! The park is huge! I highly recommend renting a cart or bringing your own stroller, as it's common for kids to get tired of walking. Even a quick visit takes 3 hours, and you'll need a full day to see all the animals at a leisurely pace. To be honest, the interaction level is a bit lower than in Zhucheng, but the park's scenery is great for photos, and the boat + car dual-mode is a unique highlight~ 💡Honest tips✅ ▪️Kids under 1.2m get free admission, and you can prepare carrots in advance🥕 ▪️Arrive early to grab a seat for the circus for a better view ▪️Wear comfortable shoes! It will save you a lot of unnecessary walking If you're looking for a family trip around the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong area and want to take it easy, give this place a try🦥
Looking for a one-stop destination for kids this National Day? Xuzhou Jiudingshan Wildlife Park is truly worth a visit🔥! Unlike ordinary zoos, it features three tour routes: drive-through, walking, and boat tour, plus the star International Circus, National Day limited performances, and fireworks shows. It is the top choice for a one-day road trip around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Anhui. Both adults and kids will have a blast! Many wildlife parks only offer a single viewing mode, but Jiudingshan spans a massive 3,400-mu park, offering a rich variety of activities. The immersive experience is comparable to a real-life Zootopia. 🐾 Three Core Highlights ✅ Drive-through Area | Up-close Interaction and Feeding A 10-km long drive-through route where animals roam freely by the roadside. You can feed giraffes, alpacas, and ostriches right from your car window, and even spot Siberian tigers and black bears from a distance—the atmosphere is incredible. If you do not want to drive, you can also take the park's sightseeing train. ✅ Walking Area | Must-See International Circus + Animal Parade Be sure to set aside time for the main event: the International Circus! It is a 55-minute spectacular show featuring high-altitude stunts and adorable animal performances—a visual feast. In the afternoon, the Animal Carnival Parade allows you to interact up close with NPCs and animals, perfect for taking great photos. ✅ Boat Tour Area | Boating Through Secret Realms and Feeding Swans Take a boat through scenic secret realms, get food to feed swans and waterfowl, and pass through caves for an immersive rainforest animal world experience—a unique feature rarely found in other zoos. During the National Day holiday, there will be additional fireworks and water dance shows, creating a perfect atmosphere for a night tour. 💡 Essential National Day Travel Tips 📍 Address: Jiudingshan Wildlife Park, Suining County, Xuzhou 🚗 Transportation: Road-trip friendly for surrounding cities with ample parking. A separate vehicle ticket is required for the drive-through area and is not included in the admission ticket. 🎫 Tickets: Booking online in advance is more cost-effective. Children under 1.2 meters enter for free. ⏰ Recommended Itinerary: Arrive early. Start with the drive-through area, then head to the walking area for the circus, take the boat tour in the afternoon, and catch the parade and night shows in the evening. ⚠️ Tips to Avoid Pitfalls 1. Expect large crowds during the National Day holiday; secure seats for the popular circus show early. 2. It is recommended to purchase animal feed inside the park; please do not bring outside food. 3. There is a significant temperature difference between day and night during the holiday; bring a light jacket and wear comfortable sneakers. This National Day holiday, bring your family to Jiudingshan to meet the animals, watch the spectacular circus, and unlock a joy-filled one-day trip! 💬 Question: Are you looking forward to the drive-through feeding or the International Circus more?

Visiting Jiuding Mountain Zoo for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day? Don't miss these new highlights. New Animals: The Flamingo Pavilion, Mara enclosure, and Peace Dove Pavilion are making their debut, located in the Flamingo Pavilion, Cyathea Secret Forest, and Family Park, respectively. The flamingos' pink feathers are very photogenic, the maras are adorable, and the Peace Dove Pavilion is perfect for kids to interact with the birds up close. Renovated Exhibits: The squirrel monkey, African lion, and yak exhibits have been fully upgraded for better viewing. The squirrel monkeys are lively, the African lions are majestic, and the yak exhibit is now more naturalistic—be sure to check them out. Trending Photo Spots: "Feiyu Light Tea" has opened next to the Flamingo Pavilion. It's been open since September 25, so stop by for a drink when you're tired; the cup sleeves and the shop itself are great for photos. There's also an underwater flower field next to the Red Panda Pavilion with great lighting effects, perfect for taking pictures. Essential Activities: The boat ride and the small train are both worth experiencing; just mention the influencer's nickname to ride. We recommend taking the boat in the morning and seeing the animals and visiting photo spots in the afternoon to avoid peak crowds. Recommended Route: Flamingo Pavilion → Cyathea Secret Forest → Family Park → Squirrel Monkey/African Lion/Yak Exhibits → Underwater Flower Field by the Red Panda Pavilion → Finish at Feiyu Light Tea. It will be crowded during the holiday, so we recommend arriving early, wearing comfortable shoes, and bringing a power bank. Try to avoid the harsh midday sun when taking photos; the afternoon light is softer, which is especially great for the underwater flower field and the Flamingo Pavilion. It's a great place for kids to play for a while. Arrive early, and since the animal exhibits are within walking distance of each other, you won't get tired even if you take your time.
Taierzhuang, this underrated "Northern Water Town"—I advise you not to go! 😱 (Don't worry, read on before you decide if you'll change your mind.) If you think Shandong only has Mount Tai, Qingdao, and Weihai, you'll likely miss a place that feels like stepping back in time—Taierzhuang. 🏯 Honestly, before my first visit, I was skeptical: "Isn't it just a rebuilt ancient town? How fun could it be?" Turns out, I was wrong—and I mean really wrong. 👋 Why do I say it's "underrated"? Because this isn't a "fake ancient town," but a living canal museum. 🌊 Taierzhuang, historically known as the "Number One Village Under Heaven," is the only ancient town on the Grand Canal that fully preserves its "water city" landscape. Walking on the bluestone paths, with the thousand-year-old canal water flowing beneath your feet and the songs of the sculling boatwomen in your ears, you might truly feel like you've traveled back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. 🛶 Plus, it's not your typical "cookie-cutter" ancient town—it blends the grandeur of Northern architecture with the grace of Southern water towns, featuring Hui-style horse-head walls, Shanxi merchant courtyards, and even European-style churches. One city, half of China—the value is incredible. 👍 Practical guide (full of insider tips, save this for later) 📌 🚗 How to get there? High-speed rail: Take it to "Zaozhuang Station." Outside the station, there's a BRT rapid bus that goes directly to Taierzhuang. The trip takes about 1 hour and costs CNY 5 (a real bargain). Driving: Navigate to "Taierzhuang Ancient Town East Gate." The parking lot is large and costs CNY 10 per day. Flight: Fly to Xuzhou Guanyin Airport, then take a taxi or carpool, about 1.5 hours. 🎫 How to buy tickets? Adult ticket: CNY 118 (book online one day in advance to save CNY 10). Students/Seniors: Half price. Night tour ticket: Enter after 4:00 PM for a cheaper rate, but I recommend buying a full-day ticket because day and night are two completely different worlds. 🏠 Where to stay? Budget-friendly (high): Stay inside the ancient town. I recommend "Zhenhe Inn." Open the window and you're right by the canal; falling asleep to the sound of water at night is amazing. Budget-conscious: Stay outside the ancient town, a 10-minute walk away, for half the price. 🍜 What to eat? Taierzhuang Spicy Chicken: A must-eat! Unlike Chongqing's spicy style, this is "saucy spicy." With a bowl of rice, I could eat three bowls. Canal Carp: Caught and cooked fresh; the meat is as tender as tofu. Vegetable Pancake: Found at street stalls, CNY 5 each, crispy enough to crumble. Daylily Beef Noodles: The top choice for breakfast, with a rich broth and chewy noodles. Here's the key: How to make it "worth the price of admission"? 🎯 Daytime: Wander the streets and alleys to experience "living history." 8:00–10:00: Beat the crowds and take photos at "Boat-Shaped Street." The lighting is beautiful; every shot is a masterpiece. 10:00–12:00: Visit the "China Canal Signboard Museum" to see ancient "billboards"—it's educational and funny. 14:00–16:00: Take a sculling boat. The boatwoman will sing folk songs. CNY 60/person—worth it! Nighttime: This is Taierzhuang's "highlight moment." ✨ 18. 00–19:00: Watch the "Fire Dragon Steel Flower" performance. Molten iron is thrown into the night sky like a meteor shower—it's so stunning it gives you goosebumps. 19. 30–20:30: Take a night tour of the ancient town. The lights reflecting on the canal look like an oil painting. After 21:00: Find a small tavern, listen to folk music, have a "Taierzhuang special cocktail," and head back to the inn feeling slightly tipsy. Finally, a heartfelt note. 💬 Many people ask me: "Is Taierzhuang worth visiting?" My answer is: If you want to go to a place that isn't crowded, isn't overly commercialized, and allows you to slow down, then yes, it's worth it. There's no restlessness of "internet-famous check-in spots" here, just the breeze by the canal, the sound of footsteps on the stone paths, and a hot bowl of spicy chicken. You can zone out in an alley for an entire afternoon or chat with the sculling boatwoman. Isn't travel all about finding that feeling of being "alive"? 🌿 📢 Interaction time: Have you been to Taierzhuang? Or do you know of other "underrated" travel destinations? Tell me in the comments, and I'll go "scout" them for you! 👇 Like + save this post, and next time you go to Taierzhuang, you can just follow this guide! ❤️
Looking for a great place for a family outing? Come to Jiudingshan Wildlife Park. There are two ways to enter: walking or driving, but we recommend the pedestrian entrance. Once inside, head straight for the small train to avoid a long walk—it's a total energy-saver! Be sure to prepare feeding supplies like carrots in advance. You'll encounter plenty of free-roaming animals along the way that are gentle and friendly, allowing for close-up interactions and photos. You can easily snap some heartwarming, aesthetic photos, and the kids will be excited the whole time. After the train ride, explore the walking area, which is packed with activities like the Treetop Kingdom and the Family Park, perfect for kids. The International Circus is a must-see with its spectacular, breathtaking acrobatics and stunts. The fun parade is full of great vibes, with enthusiastic performers interacting with the crowd. There are also multiple animal shows rotating throughout the park. A perfect weekend destination for families!!!
For weekend getaways or short holiday family trips, if you want to avoid crowded tourist spots but still want your kids to have a fulfilling time without exhausting yourself, I highly recommend Xuzhou Jiudingshan Wildlife Park! It is a high-value, one-stop family park in Northern Jiangsu. The overall experience is well-developed, with clear routes and rich activities. It is perfect for the whole family and is, in my experience, a hidden gem for stress-free family outings. The park is huge and very well-planned, divided into three main areas: the drive-through zone, the walking zone, and the interactive performance zone. The pace is relaxed, so you will not feel rushed or exhausted after a full day with the kids. Compared to other zoos, its biggest advantage is the high level of interactivity. Say goodbye to just watching from afar; here, you can feed and observe various cute animals up close. In the walking zone, you can get up close with gentle alpacas and giraffes, and snap photos with adorable lion, tiger, and bear cubs. Kids can immerse themselves in interacting with the animals, creating a healing and heartwarming atmosphere. What you see is what you get—the animals are lively, and the facilities are clean. The kids will be excited the whole time, making for a top-tier experience. Beyond animal viewing, the park's performances are the finishing touch and a core highlight of the day. The schedule is packed with non-repetitive shows suitable for all ages and highly entertaining. The fun animal-themed parade is incredibly atmospheric, allowing you to interact with performers and mascots along the way. The grand finale, the international circus, is high-quality, thrilling, and exciting, with no inappropriate content—the whole family will be captivated. Combined with themed float parades and fun interactive mini-theaters, there is never a dull moment, making for a perfectly fulfilling day. Super practical one-day guide (tested tips) 1. Best time to enter: We recommend arriving right at opening time at 9:00 AM. Animals are most active in the morning, and you will avoid the afternoon heat and peak crowds, saving time on lines. 2. Recommended route: Visit the drive-through zone first to see large wild animals, then explore the walking zone to feed the cute animals, and finally time your visit for the circus and parades. This route is smooth and efficient. 3. Feeding tips: You can bring your own pre-cut carrot sticks. Feeding supplies sold in the park are pricey, so bringing your own is more cost-effective. Feeding leaves or snacks is prohibited to avoid harming the animals' digestion. 4. Gear: The park is huge, so be sure to wear comfortable sneakers. Pack sunscreen, mosquito repellent, wet wipes, and plenty of drinking water. A power bank is a must when traveling with kids. Tips to avoid pitfalls (real-world lessons) 1. If driving, you need to purchase a separate ticket for the drive-through zone. This ticket does not include admission for passengers, so remember to buy them separately to avoid entry issues. 2. The circus is very popular. We recommend arriving 15 minutes early to grab a seat. The center area offers the best view. 3. Food prices in the park are on the higher side with limited options, so we suggest bringing some dry snacks that your kids enjoy. 4. The drive-through zone is one-way only; you cannot turn back. Follow the signs, and note that getting out of the car is prohibited in some areas. Following park rules ensures safety. Overall, this is an all-around family destination that balances fun, value, and comfort. No need for long-distance travel or fighting crowds. Easily unlock a high-quality short family trip—it is a no-brainer for weekend or holiday outings with kids!
Jiudingshan 2-Day Trip | Complete Guide to Self-Drive Entry + Hotel Stay The ultimate Xuzhou destination for kids. No need to rush—a 2-day, 1-night trip to explore the entire park. Staying here is the right way to do it! ✨ DAY 1 Arrive in the morning—no need to be super early. Pick up the latest printed show schedule at the entrance. Follow the schedule so you don't miss any performances. First stop: the self-drive safari area. Roll down the windows and watch zebras, camels, and alpacas walk around your car. Getting up close to free-roaming animals is the most exciting part for kids. Afterward, explore the park on foot. In the afternoon, check out the animal educational talks, African Theater, and Elf Kingdom. Be sure to save a spot for the 3:00 PM Grand Circus—the aerial stunts and equestrian performances are absolutely stunning. Head straight to the Water Park at 4:00 PM—the most refreshing spot in summer. ⚠️ Remember to bring swimsuits, a change of clothes, and water toys for the kids. Adults and children can all have fun together. Don't miss the beautiful float parade in the plaza in the afternoon. You can wave and interact with the performers along the way. The main event starts when it gets dark—the night session begins. The Water Dance Light Show at the main gate at 8:30 PM features a real-life stage, fountains, and light effects. It’s truly breathtaking. After the show, check directly into the on-site wooden cabin hotel—no need to drive out of the park. Open the terrace fence, and you'll see zebras and deer walking on the lawn. When you wake up the next day, you'll see animals right away. DAY 2 No need to rush for the opening. Sleep in and take your time feeding the animals at the hotel. In the morning, take a boat into the Rainforest Boat Tour. Black swans and flamingos are right by the water, and you can feed them by hand. Spend the day at a leisurely pace feeding giraffes, waving brown bears, and antelopes. It's a great way to get up close to wildlife. Head home in the afternoon. Two days is enough to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. 💡 Helpful travel tips 1. In case of rain, all performances will be moved to different venues. Please follow the park's announcements. 2. You can drive your own car into the park, which offers more freedom than taking the sightseeing bus. If you don't drive, you can choose the small train or rent a cute electric cart inside the park. 3. For a 2-day, 1-night trip, we recommend staying at the on-site hotel. You won't need to re-enter the park, and you can enjoy the zoo in the early morning! Experience the joy of feeding animals right outside your room. 🎊 4. Sunscreen, flip-flops, and two sets of clothes are essential for playing in the water.

Wear soft-soled shoes when walking on the ancient street to avoid slipping on the stone paths. 2. Morning markets and old teahouses often prefer cash, so remember to bring some small change. Please ask for permission before taking photos of vendors. 3. When buying pomegranates, choose ones with a slightly concave stem end and a heavy feel – they'll be super sweet. Pomegranate wine is light and easy to carry, making it a great gift. 4. For family trips, you can visit the Urban Planning Exhibition Hall or go fruit picking at Lvtian Ecological Farm.
