    Prelude to Water Melody: When Will the Moon Be Bright? (Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi) When will the moon be bright? I raise my cup to ask the heavens. I wonder what year it is tonight in the celestial palace. I long to ride the wind and return, But fear the jade towers and crystal palaces, The heights are too cold to bear. I dance with my shadow, How can it compare to being in the mortal world? The moon turns through the red pavilion, lowers its light through the embroidered windows, illuminating my sleeplessness. There should be no resentment, yet why is the moon always full when we are apart? People have sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; The moon has its phases of waxing and waning. This has been difficult to achieve since ancient times. I only wish that we may live long and share the beauty of the moon, though separated by a thousand miles.

    Highly recommend bringing your kids to Huanglongxi Happy Farm – the experience is absolutely amazing! This sprawling 2600-acre park is full of surprises. The expansive scenery of Chuanjiang Grassland and the vibrant flower fields of Jincheng Flower Island are every shot a heartwarming masterpiece. A stroll through the park feels like stepping into a fairytale countryside. The most captivating spot for children is Luxi Ranch, where they can feed giraffes, alpacas, and lambs up close. These cuddly animals are incredibly friendly, and the kids were screaming with excitement throughout. The Agricultural Science and Technology Museum's giant pumpkins and tropical plants are eye-opening, allowing children to learn while playing. The lazy-child area with its slides and bouncy castles provides hands-free play, allowing kids to run and play freely. The park's facilities are excellent, the restaurants offer delicious food, and there are always places to rest and recharge when tired. The staff are friendly and provide clear directions, making the overall experience smooth and pleasant. Whether you want to get close to nature, interact with adorable animals, or simply relax with your kids, this place has it all. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

    A highly worthwhile trip! Not only can you observe pandas up close, but you also learn a lot about them. Watching them break bamboo, make steamed buns, and cut bamboo leaves is very fun, and there are guides providing detailed explanations. Little Hu is particularly impressive; she can not only identify the different pandas but also knows their interesting stories. A must-see for panda lovers! The Dujiangyan Giant Panda Park is also an excellent place to see pandas. It's easily accessible, not far from the Qingcheng Mountain High-Speed ​​Railway Station, and there are also good hotels nearby. The park itself isn't very large, but there are many pandas! Once the pandas come out to their enclosure, they aren't often obstructed by trees, offering a wide viewing angle. The park's slopes aren't very steep, and since early December is the off-season, there aren't many tourists, so you can watch for as long as you like!
