The scenic area is very good, and the children can learn knowledge. It was the first time I heard about the book-guarding beast. The scenic area is very good, and the children can learn knowledge.

It's quite big inside, with diverse scenery, unique architecture, and beautiful gardens. Unfortunately, the weather was too hot, otherwise I would have loved to take my time exploring. The book-guarding beasts are really cute!

Romon Indoor Amusement Park is very suitable for bringing children to play. You can play countless projects. I came on Friday and there was basically no queue. The queue was no more than five minutes. It is a good place to bring children.
Overall, the park is quite enjoyable, with a wide range of rides, most of which are located in the city, and some are outdoors. The two roller coasters have relatively high height and age requirements compared to other domestic amusement parks, and there are scheduled parades. However, the food and beverages in the park are expensive, the taste is not good, and the selection is limited. The park's advantage is that it is less well-known to foreign tourists, so there are fewer people on weekends and no long queues. In addition, many rides are indoors, not affected by weather. The overall experience and value for money are good.

I bought a package ticket that included the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Mount Xuedou, and transportation to the scenic area. I chose the more physically demanding route. The shuttle bus went directly to Sanyintan, then descended the mountain to the starting point of the Happiness Train. Surprisingly, during the summer vacation, there weren't many tourists. The combined train and cable car ticket cost 50 yuan, taking me to Yangzhi Bridge. The Qianzhangyan Waterfall was spectacular. From there, I could take the cable car or hike up to Miaogaotai, where the views from the summit were stunning. The route was clearly signposted, and the security staff were helpful. Upon exiting, I arrived at the Xuedou Temple transfer station, where I visited the temple and Zhang Xueliang's place of imprisonment. It was a great way to learn about Republican history. If you want to fully explore the area, it's best to plan a full day.
The scenery is beautiful, with streams, waterfalls, mountains and flowing water. The Sanyintan train is very comfortable. It is a scenic spot that integrates history, culture and natural landscape. It is worth a visit!

Shipu Fishing Port Ancient Town is worth a visit! Strolling on the bluestone road built on the mountain, the ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties are scattered in an orderly manner, and the charm of time is everywhere. There are many exhibition halls in the city, which vividly display the fishing port culture. The seafood food is so fresh, and the fish balls and shrimp cakes are so delicious that you can't move your feet. When night falls, the fishing lights are lit, and the night view of the ancient port is beautiful. Any photo you take is a blockbuster. Immerse yourself in the unique charm of the thousand-year-old fishing port!
Shipu Ancient City is very fun. There are many displays inside. There is a robot dog dancing at the door, which is fun. There are also many exhibition halls inside, including some opera performances. It is a wonderful day to walk around in this ancient city and have fun.

Although my child is already in high school, he still comes to the zoo several times a year because he loves animals so much. The environment is great, and it would be even better if we could spend more money on animals in the future!
The zoo has a rich variety of animals and the park is very large, but the map guide inside can be optimized, and there are too many secondary charging items inside

This time, Ningbo Museum was fortunate to introduce the Sanxingdui cultural relics exhibition, which allowed us to see many surprising cultural relics, such as the bronze sacred tree, bronze human face, golden mask, etc. What is rare is that the production technology, craftsmanship and purpose of these cultural relics are still a mystery. This time the cultural relics came to Ningbo, which allowed children to have a face-to-face and in-depth understanding. It is very good.
The biggest highlight is that there is no highlight! It feels like the product is not the same as the version! It is related to Sanxingdui, but not much! There are not many exhibits! As shown in the picture, the other ones are not very relevant!

Fantawild is located right under the Hangzhou Bay Bridge and is easy to find. It has comprehensive facilities and excellent service. However, shopping in the scenic area is incredibly expensive, with a small bottle of water costing ten yuan. New attractions in the area are all charged separately.
This Fantawild theme is Eastern mythology, featuring stories like Nuwa mending the sky, Liang Zhu, The Legend of the White Snake, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. It's quite engaging for children, and with the easy access to each pavilion, you can explore the entire area in one go. The layout is quite logical. The downside is the high cost of admission: a small bottle of mineral water costs ten yuan, and the newly added pavilions are subject to additional fees. It was too hot on a hot day, and there were no air-conditioned rest areas.

There aren't many people in Songnan Mountain on a cloudy day, but it's still okay. It doesn't have much impact on travel. The reef coffee on the sea here is also very delicious, and the environment there is very beautiful, and the photos are excellent.
The beach can be said to be the most suitable place for a stroll in a seaside city. I take my children out to play in the sand whenever I have free time on weekends. We can play for half a day. There are also many hotels here, and the environment is beautiful. The service attitude of the staff is also very good.

Ningbo Baoguo Temple, a National No. 1 temple, was rebuilt during the Northern Song Dynasty. It's the oldest wooden structure south of the Yangtze River and is now a museum of ancient architecture.
The environment is pleasant, with few visitors, mostly ancient architecture enthusiasts. Tickets are reasonably priced, and the museum offers guided tours, some of which are excellent. If you have time, visit and learn a lot from the lectures.
It's not crowded, and parking is convenient.
The environment is tranquil, the wooden architecture is exquisite, and the combination of modern geometry and ancient wisdom truly demonstrated the soaring power of architecture. There was a minor hiccup during the trip: the power bank malfunctioned and kept showing as "rental." The customer service center and souvenir shop staff enthusiastically helped contact the vendor, and the issue was quickly resolved. Thumbs up!

The aquarium is amazing! There's so much coral, all vibrant and colorful, it feels like an underwater wonderland. The traditional Chinese mermaid show was stunning, with the girls dancing in the water. The kids were mesmerized! The interactive area even let them touch starfish, and the kids screamed with excitement. The venue is clean and bright, and the staff are very helpful. Highly recommended!
I highly recommend this place during the summer, as it's cool inside. The scenic area is nice. The food is a bit pricey, though, so you might want to bring your own food.
