Breathtaking, peaceful views that will restore your sanity after a long week. There are so many hikes around the area that you can enjoy, some long and some very short. If you’re entering the actual park, don’t forget to hike or drive to the top and cross the swinging bridge.

ZOZO
The site describes the only emerald mining area in the world open to the public, and you can experience three different mining methods for yourself: gold rushing by the stream, mining on the mountain and screening after digging. Among them, gold rushing by the stream is to use a sieve to find gems by the stream. We found many beautiful moonstones and smoke crystals. Excavation is a way to find gems by digging through earth, finding mica on the mountain, and digging with shovels. We found only some very small crystals. After excavation screening, let you find the gems from the soil you dig. Although the soil we dig ourselves is mainly small crystals and moonstones, you can buy the soil provided by the mine. The price ranges from fifteen to a few hundred knives. Even the cheapest options can find precious stones such as amethyst, elongated stone and lithium pyrite. And emerald lithium pyrite is a specialty here. The staff here are very knowledgeable about geology, you can always ask them what the stone is in your hand, and ask them to help identify whether there are rare varieties in the things you dug out. There is also a small shop where you can see the original stones of various gemstones, which helps you understand the true face of these beautiful stones. Although the place is called the emerald mine, no one found the real emerald the day we went. But the vast amount of crystal and moonstones in the area won't leave people empty-handed. Tip: If you plan to go, remember to wear a pair of shoes and dirty clothes that fit into the water. After the gold rush and excavation, we all become like big mud monkeys!

Spent 2 1⁄2 hours visiting the small exhibition hall. Mainly some early 19th century furniture. Modern paintings. There is also a very interesting basement resident sculptor.

North Carolina Transportation Museum, about 1 hour drive from Charlotte. Tickets are $ 6 per person. It covers a large area, divided into indoors and outdoors. There are various types of cars indoors, as well as various models, architectural models, etc. placed by model lovers, which is very interesting! Adults and children love to see! great! There are also locomotive exhibitions of various eras, with a strong sense of history. Sometimes there are special theme exhibitions on weekends: such as the fire engine exhibition, and the Thomas train exhibition (this ticket is much more expensive, you can refer to the website information). Worth a visit. About 3~ 4 hours.

I absolutely adore Freedom Park! As a first-time visitor to Charlotte, I had an incredible experience in this sophisticated city, particularly with its upscale dining and delightful breakfast options. The park itself offers beautiful and enjoyable walks, creating a truly pleasant atmosphere. Everything about my visit was simply fantastic! I highly recommend it to everyone!
