Things to do in Qidong

I went on August 2nd. There were no Dragon Ball activities, but the Dragon King would appear on the beach around 10 am. It was too hot, so I could only watch them head to the beach and didn't get to experience it myself. The photos were taken in May of this year; the weather was perfect, and the haul was good. If you're bringing children, I recommend wearing beachcombing gear.

There weren't many visitors; in just over two hours, I saw fewer than 100 tourists. The only performance was a lantern parade; the performance areas were empty, just lights and props, no performances, no tourists. Perhaps there will be more performances during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays when there are more people!

Yuantuojiao Scenic Area is located in the southeast corner of Yinyang Town, Qidong District, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, marking the easternmost point of Jiangsu Province. • Geographical Location: Sunrise can be seen here at 5:00 AM, about an hour earlier than other places, hence the name "Yinyang." From Yuantuojiao, the vast Yangtze River meets the sea, and the East China Sea and Yellow Sea also separate here, creating a spectacular confluence of three waters. • Historical Evolution: The scenic area was established in 1998. In November 2013, the Nantong Municipal People's Government approved the establishment of the Qidong Yuantuojiao Municipal Tourism Resort, with a planned area of ​​33 square kilometers. • Key Attractions: The Yangtze River Merges into the Sea Monument, built in 1998, is shaped like a ship, symbolizing the Yangtze River's journey from its source to the sea. There's also China's largest stone statue of Yu the Great, standing 19.99 meters tall, located in the central part of the scenic area. Yinyang Tower, located outside the seawall in the northeast corner of the scenic area, offers stunning views of the sunrise over the sea and the sunset over the Yangtze River. • Tourist Attractions: This area is a renowned sunrise viewing spot in the Yangtze River Delta region. The newly built 360-degree panoramic glass viewing platform offers visitors a panoramic view of the magnificent confluence of the river and the sea. The scenic area also boasts a 3-kilometer-long golden sandy beach, with newly introduced activities like beach volleyball and kite surfing, and evening bonfire parties. • Ecological Environment: The scenic area includes a 2,000-acre wetland park, traversed by a 5-kilometer-long wooden boardwalk, where visitors can spot flocks of egrets and herons foraging on the mudflats. The scenic area has also established a bird monitoring station, which has recorded 186 bird species so far, including 28 nationally protected bird species.

Overall it's good. When we went there, four of the five countries were open, and the kids were a little disappointed 😔 There are many fallen leaves in the hot springs, and the precipitated dust is not cleaned up in time Each children's play pool is supervised by staff, which is worthy of praise In addition, the food is not expensive but the variety is a little less Finally, I would like to comment on technician No. 88, the massage is so comfortable I will probably go again, after all, it's very close to Shanghai!

It's a great place for a leisurely stroll, where you can discover new species at your own pace. It's perfect for those who love breathing in the fresh air of a forest, enjoy the plants, and are pet lovers. There are also amusement areas, though they're a bit "retro." There's even a marriage registration office and a wedding lawn 😂. Personally, I think if you just want to relax and unwind without leaving Shanghai, you could stay at a hotel across from the park for two days, wake up naturally, and then stroll through the park.

Shanghai After Dark — The Bund Never Sleeps ✨“Where the river reflects a thousand city lights and the future rises above a timeless waterfront. The Bund is more than a view — it’s Shanghai at its most magical, where elegance, ambition, and endless dreams meet.” 🌃❤

The rides and display in Disneyland was no doubt magical. However, the queues were long and I would suggest for people to get the priority pass for at least the tron and seven dwarf rides as the queues are insane.

This was my first time trying this style of dressing up for a meal and watching a show, and it was quite novel. It was fun and interesting, but if you're looking for a quiet meal, don't try it! 🤪 Overall, it was pretty good.

My second visit to West Lake was great; the boat tour was excellent. The dock was easy to find, the staff were very friendly, provided clear explanations, and helped with any issues. There were also sightseeing buses, which were nice but a bit pricey. Taking the boat tour and then walking around was both perfectly fine.
