I've bought here multiple times, and the products are great. My kids love them, and it's trustworthy.
I recommend arriving around 9:30 AM (it says it opens at 10 AM, but it actually opens earlier) so you can enjoy the scenery until after the fireworks at 10 PM. I recommend going to Flying Fly first, then Dinosaur Adventure, as these two attractions often have long lines. The rest of the attractions, like Journey to the Center of the Earth, Crossing the Volcano, and Dino Crisis, are all good.
This is my second time here, and I'm still very satisfied. There weren't many people today, so I was able to enjoy all the activities without having to wait in line. It was a fulfilling and enjoyable day. I'll definitely come back again, hahaha.
The forest rafting, skydiving, and the Flame Dragon were all great fun.

It was raining and there weren't many attractions to visit. This museum was close to my hotel, so I took a taxi there. It's a shame the Xiqin Guild Hall was under renovation, but it's still accessible. It has two floors, and a leisurely tour would take about an hour and a half. I think museums are the best way to understand a city's character. Overall, it was quite worthwhile. Buying tickets on Ctrip was so convenient! Just scan the QR code and enter.
The Sichuan Salt Museum, located at 173 Jiefang Road, Ziliujing District, Zigong City, is a unique and valuable professional museum.
Originally built in the first year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign in the Qing Dynasty, the Xiqin Guild Hall, a building funded by Shaanxi salt merchants, blends imperial and folk styles from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its exquisite woodcarving, stone carving, and painted paintings make it a true artistic treasure. The museum's rich collection of cultural relics systematically showcases the development of China's salt industry, detailing everything from ancient well-drilling tools to the complex salt-making process, allowing visitors to marvel at the ingenuity of the ancient working people.
The museum also utilizes a variety of modern technologies. For example, the "Scroll of Well Salt Production and Sales during the Yongzheng and Qianlong Periods" in the introductory hall is animated by laser projection technology. Additionally, AR books and interactive games provide visitors with a more intuitive understanding of the salt industry, making the visit more engaging and engaging.

The scenic area is quite small and best viewed in conjunction with the Salt Industry History Museum. I was pleasantly surprised to see the salt-making workshop still in operation. There's plenty of parking at the entrance, so you can park your car there and take a taxi to the Salt Industry History Museum. There's no parking available there.
Shenhai Well is the world's first thousand-meter-deep well, and also the most advanced and earliest deep well dug at that time. Shenhai Well provides salt, which is essential for life in the southwest, and provides tax revenue for the country.

I heard that the Zigong lanterns are different every year, attracting tourists from all over the country and the world. This year was my first time to visit Zigong in Sichuan. It was really unique. The bundled lights, colored lights, and a series of lights were really first-class, better than any other light show I have been to.
