    Some interesting attractions were cancelled, as were the nighttime attractions; the park closes at 5 PM, and this wasn't mentioned when purchasing tickets. The rides are just so-so, typical of all theme parks, nothing special. I won't be coming back.

    A highly recommended attraction, it offers a unique blend of classical Chinese gardens and Western decor. While strolling along the 1.5km covered walkway, visitors can also learn about the history of the He clan. This educational and entertaining three-dimensional garden is truly excellent.

    Although it was a bit late, I didn't see much of the intricacies of the gardens. I think we should have hired a guide. However, the design of these gardens is indeed ingenious. They must be very beautiful in late autumn and early spring.

    Slender West Lake is a landmark attraction in Yangzhou. Visitors can choose to stroll along the river and enjoy the natural scenery, or take a painted boat and experience the carefree mood of Emperor Qianlong when he toured the lake.

    Staying next to the International Conference Center, right next to Gate 5, is very convenient. The scenic area is quite large, and walking around can be tiring, but it's definitely worth a visit in autumn. It has historical significance, beautiful scenery, and fresh air. A visit to the entire Zhongshan Scenic Area should ideally be done over two days, otherwise it can be quite tiring.

    The bald cypress trees at Gate 3 are beautiful, and the scenery is breathtaking. The stone statue path feels like stepping into a history textbook. The scenic area is the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The area is very large, so plan your route according to your physical condition and proceed with caution.

    My family, you wouldn't believe it! Yuantouzhu is an absolutely amazing hidden gem, a place you'll fall in love with once you arrive and never want to leave! Last time I brought my family here for a blast, and the moment we stepped inside, wow, the scenery was breathtaking! Cruising on a boat on Taihu Lake, the gentle breeze felt like playful little sprites brushing against my face—it was so ticklish yet incredibly soothing. Looking into the distance, the mountains rose in layers, like a giant's wavy hair—absolutely adorable! Running along the lakeside paths, the air was filled with the fresh scent of water vapor; one breath and I felt completely refreshed, like a fully charged motor. The ancient buildings on the island are so stylish; it felt like every brick was telling a story. And it's not crowded like other places, not packed like sardine cans. Lying down under the shade of a tree with some snacks—ah, it was so comfortable! This place is amazing, I have to recommend it to all my friends. I want to come back a million times over!
