⛲In fact, the Journey to the West theme park has been open for two years already, and surprisingly many people, including myself, didn't know about it. Fortunately, Huai'an is not too far away, quickly accessible by car and convenient by high-speed train, making it a perfect weekend getaway.
🎢Must-try attractions at the Journey to the West theme park:

CHANEL FRANKLIN
A theme park of our own Chinese people
The various Journey to the West themed buildings and shops in the park are very beautiful and photogenic.
★Transportation: I took the high-speed train to Huai'an East Station→A taxi ride of more than 10 minutes to the Journey to the West theme park
★Accommodation: I stayed with my child at the Journey to the West themed hotel (Seventy-two Changes Inn) 150 meters next to the entrance of the scenic area. There is a supermarket and some places to eat nearby, which is very convenient. The hotel provides a free stroller, which can save the child from walking and play more.
★There are float parades at 14:00 and 19:30 every day
★The queue time in the park, performance time and height requirements for the projects can be found by searching for "Journey to the West Theme Park" on WeChat Mini Program.
★There are drone performances and fountain fireworks shows on Friday, Saturday, Sunday nights and holiday nights, which are very beautiful!
*Some recommended projects with features:
★Making a fuss in the Heavenly Palace
★Wisely taking the banana fan
★The journey through the Great Thunder Sound Temple
★The birth of the Monkey King
★Bravely breaking into the Spider Cave (wearing 3D glasses, the effect is not bad)
★Three fights with the White Bone Demon: I didn't play because I was worried that the child would be scared. It is said that the swing amplitude is very large, very exciting, and many people were shaken and vomited after coming down, haha If it weren't for the child, I would have to experience it.
★The theater performance in Wuzhuang View is also good, check the performance time in advance on WeChat Mini Program
★There are some projects for smaller children in the Fire Cloud Cave
I took my child on leave at the end of October, so there were very few people, no need to queue, and the experience was very good. While the child is still in kindergarten, take him out to play more, after all, childhood is very short, parents must accompany more.

What a surprise! Huaian West Tour Amusement Park, a park of our own Chinese people!
My son is a fan of 🐒 Journey to the West, in order to fulfill his wish, as soon as the winter vacation starts, we immediately took a ✈️ flight from Guangdong to Huaian.
🎡Attraction: Huaian West Tour Amusement Park
📍Address: No. 6 Xiyoudadao, Qingjiangpu District, Huaian City, Jiangsu Province
🚗Transportation: About 25 minutes by taxi from Huaian Airport; about 15 minutes by taxi from Huaian East High-speed Railway Station.
🏠Accommodation: Riyuezhou Resort Hotel (Every half hour and on the hour, there are free electric screen cars, shuttle between the hotel and the park)
⏰Opening time: 10:00 in the morning
The project is very new, the special effects are very well done, it was only when I came here that I realized that our own Chinese park can also be done very well! 👍
‼️Must-try recommended projects:
1️⃣Three Fights with the White Bone Demon, fun index⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It takes 3 hours to queue in the summer, the content is very good, very exciting, 270-degree rotation, friends who usually get carsick should be careful, this one will be a bit dizzy, and even 'thoughtfully' prepared a vomit pool.
If you have time, you can try this two or three times.
2️⃣Great Uproar in Heaven
Suspended viewing, the special effects are very well done, 5D screen, very immersive.
3️⃣Brave Pan's Silk Cave
I heard that this is a bit similar to 'Three Fights with the White Bone Demon', but it won't be as dizzy as 'Three Fights'. When I went there, the equipment was just broken, this project was temporarily suspended, sob~
4️⃣Monkey King Roller Coaster (Outdoor)
This is not very exciting, children can also play, but when it's cold, it's really cold, and there are a lot of people in line.
5️⃣Wisdom to Take the Banana Fan
Rotating cinema, telling the story of the wisdom to take the banana fan, children like to watch.
6️⃣Cloud Fire Cave (suitable for fewer children to play)
This is where I spent the most time, because my son is not enough 120cm, many projects can't play, but here, he can play high all day. Adults are also comfortable, sitting on the side playing with their phones, haha!
There are many outdoor mobile projects, roller coasters, pirate ships, jumping machines, etc.... If you are brave, you can go and try.
🌸Flower Car Parade:
Monday to Thursday only one session: 2:00 pm
Friday to Sunday two sessions: 2:00 pm, 8:00 pm
If time permits, I sincerely recommend you to come and watch the night show, worth the ticket price, drones, fireworks, water curtain performances, much better than Shanghai Disney.
⚠️If you want to go to a project and there are many people in line, find the starting point to watch the flower car parade, as soon as it's over, rush to the project, that will be the least people in line. I used 20 minutes to play 'Three Fights' at that time.
As for eating, there is nothing good to eat inside and outside the park, it is best to bring some self-heating rice, dry food and so on.

Huai'an West Amusement Park|The most suitable amusement park for Chinese babies
|The most suitable amusement park for Chinese babies.
For families with children, it is very suitable. It is the most suitable amusement park for Chinese babies.
There are not many projects for small children to play, but it is for them to see the floats, drone performances and fireworks shows.
Stimulate the brain and see different people and scenes. The most important thing is that the cost performance is really super high.
We stayed in the Riyuezhou Resort Hotel, which included a double ticket for the West Amusement Park in the package.
It's really suitable. The hotel has a shuttle bus, which is very convenient. It's worth taking our children to brush up on the park again. In summary, my children really like it here.

The theme park that best suits the physique of Chinese babies, both adults and children love it
As a generation who grew up watching 'The Monkey King' and listening to 'Three Fights with the White Bone Demon, The True and False Monkey King', the must-go list for walking the baby must include Huaian. Journey to the West Theme Park. This is the dream of every Journey to the West baby, to travel to that legendary and wonderful world, and fight against demons with the Tang monk and his disciples to uphold justice.
The environment of the Journey to the West Theme Park is absolutely built into our hearts. The main building, the Great Thunder Sound Temple, is really beautiful! Finally, I know why the Tang monk and his disciples have to go to Ling Mountain after all the hardships. You can take many photos around Ling Mountain and the lake in front of it, and every angle is beautiful.
During the day, it is suitable for playing amusement facilities, and at night, it is suitable for taking photos and watching performances, because the night view of the Journey to the West Park is really good to shoot.
The night ticket is more than half cheaper than the all-day ticket, so if you come to watch the drone performance and fireworks show, you can choose to play at night.
But we are here to bring the old and the young to Huaian, just for the Journey to the West Theme Park, of course, we have to choose the all-day ticket.
We entered the park at more than 11 o'clock in the morning and left at more than 9 o'clock in the evening. Basically, all the projects we wanted to play were brushed. Before 4 o'clock in the afternoon, that is, before the night show starts, the queue time is relatively short, and the project is also fast. After the night show starts, the queue time increases exponentially.
The entire park is a circular tour route, it is recommended to play counterclockwise, among which 'The Monkey King' is the most recommended, and those who like excitement can also try 'Three Fights with the White Bone Demon'.
The night light parade, drone performance, and fireworks show at night are must-see projects.
The Journey to the West Theme Park has its own mini program, where you can see the queue situation of various projects, but under normal circumstances, you can refer to it optimistically, because the actual waiting time is shorter than the displayed time. 'Three Fights with the White Bone Demon' is the one with the longest queue time, and the movement range is relatively large, so it is recommended not to arrange it after meals.
Forget about slaying demons, the demons here are too beautiful to start. Little Cat corrected me 'They are fairies, not demons. The ugly ones are called demons, and the beautiful ones are called fairies.'

I really like to play this, the 5D screen and the dynamic suspension chair egg have a particularly strong sense of immersion, full score for immersion.
