Should Yinjiyuan release a guide｜(Updated guide)

Had a great time taking the kids to Yinjiyuan over the weekend 🥳. Here are some brief experiences that might help everyone. Departure: Xi'an North Station Date: 6.9-6.11 The kids finished school at 6:22 PM on Friday, took the Fuxing train at 9:02 PM to Zhengzhou East, and booked a loft homestay nearby (200+ yuan). It was clean and tidy, nothing special. The ride from the East Station to the homestay cost 15 yuan. The next day, we had breakfast (there's a breakfast shop downstairs from the homestay) and called a car at 10:00 AM for 88 yuan, arriving at the Ice and Snow Hotel at 11:00 AM. We couldn't check in yet, so we stored our luggage. (We booked a package for 2 adults and 1 child with a polar bear twin bed and 3 tickets included). We bought an extra ticket for one child on-site (children under 1.1 meters are free). 1. From the Ice and Snow Hotel to the Animal World, you need to queue for the sightseeing train, which is less than a 5-minute walk. The park checks for food once and tickets once (facial recognition). On the right side after entering the park, you can borrow a power bank and rent a stroller (our friend rented one for about 8-9 hours for over a hundred yuan) with a password lock to prevent loss. Next to it is a Coca-Cola-themed photo spot where you can take pictures (photos in the next post) and buy things, which is quite interesting. Opposite is Dicos, and there are also restaurants inside, such as Bird Restaurant and Pig Restaurant, with relatively reasonable prices. 2. The park is divided into Tree of Life, Animal Kingdom, Emerald Sea, Dragon Zone, and Cute Pet Park. The Tree of Life mainly features (4D movies, fountain shows, 6:30 PM mascot party, 8:30 PM night parade, and 9:00 PM fireworks fountain show). Cute Pet Park has amusement facilities (like bumper cars) and small animals like pigs, cows, sheep, horses, and rabbits (there are many photos here, and the houses where the small animals live are particularly beautiful, pictures included) + carousel + Monkey Planet (the house is special). We only watched the sea lion show in the Emerald Sea due to time constraints. We didn't go to the Dragon Zone. We thoroughly explored the Animal Kingdom (took the amphibious vehicle for the grassland adventure, took the sightseeing bus for the beast area, and entered the Animal Brainstorm half an hour early). Overall, we were quite lucky. Our kids, two 8-year-olds and one 3-year-old, had a slow and comfortable tour, with queues resolved within 10 minutes. The kids had a great time. We saw 6 white tiger cubs and a giant Sulcata tortoise in the animal corridor. We participated in the performances, parades, and parties, and returned to the hotel after the 9:00 PM fireworks fountain show (you can book a room on your phone after 3:00 PM). There are food and convenience stores in the luggage storage corridor, with reasonable prices. 3. The next day, the kids were quite tired, so we got up at 8:30 AM, packed, and had breakfast (quite rich), with an extra person costing 68 yuan. After breakfast, we packed our luggage, checked out, and stored our luggage to go to the Ice and Snow World next door (in the opposite direction of Animal World, very close, less than a 5-minute walk). Inside, there's a small penguin ice sculpture viewing area at minus 10 degrees (very small), ice slides, amusement facilities, and ice and snow plaza performances (you can sit on a dog sled, etc.). 4. We finished at 4:00 PM, picked up our luggage, rested, and called a car to Zhengzhou East for 59 minutes, then took the Harmony train back to Xi'an. In summary: If there are men, it's recommended to drive from Xi'an on Saturday morning and return on Sunday. Two days are enough to enjoy the Animal World, and the Ice and Snow World is not worth spending a whole day on.
