Water fun & Cool Retreats

Stepping into the Honghu Ecological Tourism Area, I was instantly shocked by the vast waters. The lake was sparkling, and the water birds passed by from time to time, and they were all rippling. Walking along the Lotus Corridor, the lotus blossomed freely, the breeze came, and the lotus fragrance was bursting, which was refreshing. Shuttle in the relics of the former revolutionary site in Xiangqixi, the heroic deeds of the ancestors seemed to be in front of me, let me accept a deep red baptism. There is not only beautiful natural scenery, but also a heavy historical heritage, it is an unforgettable trip.

Came here to play
Take a boat🚢, the original price is 60 per person, share a boat for 40 per person, ran over, and saw that it was basically old people or young people who joined the party...
Don&#39;t take the small train inside, the average price is 40 per person, the weather is hot, it&#39;s unbearable, the sun is too hot...
Even the benches for watching the show have mice🐭💩, which disgusts me...Other people next to me also saw it...
It&#39;s better to take an electric car
There are really very few things to see inside
The ticket is 70 per person, the experience, nothing special...
The only feeling is that taking a speedboat🚤 is cool and comfortable. I personally don&#39;t recommend coming here to play, I probably won&#39;t come again in the future

There is a large lotus garden, but the cruise ship is useless. You can&#39;t get on the island without taking the cruise ship. It is a must, but it depends on whether you choose a cruise ship or a speedboat.
After entering the island, the park is very large, and there are multiple ways to choose: sightseeing car, small train, four-person bicycle, etc., which can be selected according to the number of people traveling. There is a free performance of the Honghu Red Guards, which really feels like an old movie in the 1980s, very retro... After watching it, you can row a boat and pick lotus pods, all for a fee.
Overall, the scenery is better in summer, but it is also hot.

⛰【Attractions Guide】
📍Detailed address:
Honghu Ecological Scenic Area is located in Qujiawan, Honghu.
🚉Transportation Guide:
There are minibuses to Qujiawan at Honghu Bus Station, and the ticket is 15 yuan. However, the minibus only goes to the town and to the pier. There is no other transportation except for the Bengbeng. The one-way Bengbeng is 15 yuan, and you can reserve the driver&#39;s phone number for easy pick-up when you return to the city.
💰Ticket price:
The ticket is 70 yuan, but the scenic area is located on the island, so you need to take a boat first, which is divided into ordinary passenger ships and speedboats. The ordinary passenger ship is 30 yuan (round trip), and the boat ride takes about 30 minutes. After arriving, it is the real scenic area.
🕙Business hours:
Because the attraction of the scenic area is the lotus, it is recommended to go there in summer. The opening hours in summer are 8:00-18:00, and the latest ticket inspection time is 15:30.
🌟Highlights:
The biggest attraction of the scenic area is the large lotus pond, which is really big. There is a plank road in the lotus pond. Walking on the plank road is like walking in a sea of ​​flowers. The visual effect is still very good. Because of its size, even if there are more tourists, it will not appear crowded.
There is also a small train running through the lotus pond in the scenic area, but it seems that not many people are sitting on it.
👎Least recommended:
There is a small area in the scenic area where you can rent a boat to cruise in the lake by yourself, and the fee is charged according to the type of boat and duration. To be honest, this is very cost-effective. First of all, there are few lotus flowers in this area, and the growth is not good, so it is impossible to imagine the scene of taking a cruise in the sea of ​​flowers. Secondly, the electric boat we rented was not enough power at all, and the speed was slower than walking. Almost half of the time, we were spinning in place. I thought it was because of our poor driving skills, but later I found that everyone was like this.
📌Tips:
1⃣️Since the scenic area is very large and mainly relies on walking, a pair of comfortable shoes is very important.
2⃣️There is no shelter on this side of the lotus pond, so be sure to take good sun protection, sunscreen, hats, and umbrellas.
3⃣️If you want to take better photos, remember to bring a telephoto lens, because the beautiful flower shapes are almost in the center.
4⃣️For portraits, it is recommended to wear white clothes, which is very fresh.
