I went there during the National Day holiday last year. The scenic spot is relatively large. I bought a pass for the painting and boat battery car. The battery car was very untimely, resulting in the station coming to the full number of vehicles. Fortunately, I have a road that is rented by a small battery car. It is over a shortcut and gets on the bus in advance. Everything else is fine.
The scenery is good, the scenic spot is large, suitable for slow travel. Cruises are a must-have project. There are sometimes discounts on the Dragon Boat Festival. The lotus flower in June is the most beautiful. Water fight is a very happy project, it is relatively hot, and the food is not very delicious.
I only knew that it was a free ticket scenic spot when I arrived here. It was just that there were three or four small attractions to collect tickets. The environment was good. There were Puzhehei Village, Xianrendong Village, Baiface Mountain Village. All three villages can be accommodated. The conditions are good. There are buses, environmental cars, and private cars. There are carriages in the village. Where to walk is basically no more than 15 kilometers to and from, I just choose to walk, I chose to book a 4-day homestay, I feel not happy, and added two days, so that all roads can be guaranteed, now is the off-season, the peak season is when the lotus blossoms, have the opportunity to live again
I really don’t know how to rated 5A, even 3A is not as good as 3A, just two Shanshui Villages, admission is free, the whole scenic spot is very large, you must buy a package ticket by car and boat, many projects are extra charges
The price of scenic tickets, Swan Lake tickets, and Qingqiu painting walls are all high, and there are too many houses built in the scenic area, which affects the perception.
