edwinzhao:“This five-star scenic spot truly lives up to its reputation. The boat ride gave me a truly unforgettable experience of nature's wonders. It's a gift from heaven to the locals. We visited the petrified wood and the museum, both of which were okay. I wouldn't recommend riding the petrified wood train, as it's not spacious enough. We went there because we had children with us.”
月埃盗盗:“Some say it's tacky, but I find it appealing to both the elite and the masses. The dancing pavilions, flowing bridges, and lotus blossoms create a unique charm. It's perfect for families, with its thrilling water slides and the opportunity to take your children to see and feed the popular animals. There's also a comprehensive selection of dining and accommodation options, and the environment is pleasant. Experience the charm for yourself.”

M49***62:“Pingdingshan Park, one of the four major parks in Benxi National Geopark, has experienced many crustal uplifts and depressions in the long process of geological evolution, as well as alternations between land and sea, volcanic eruptions, rock weathering and stripping, and transportation, forming an intricate tectonic system and tectonic layers with concentrated tectonic belts inlaid with each other. Among them, the geological phenomenon of rock weathering and stripping is the most prominent. Granite, shale, sandstone, etc. are widely distributed. It is the epitome of the "Benxi Geological Cradle". It is not only a teaching and research base for geological disciplines, but also a multidisciplinary comprehensive teaching and research base.”
M28***93:“Among the attractions of Benxi Water Cave, there is a park with some petrified wood, which is a very unique place. There is an artificial lake in the middle, and there is also a place for Thai crocodile performances, which are charged separately.”

向日葵学摄影:“It is a very nice attraction in the city, where there are small animals that children love, and there are also many rare plants. Especially when the peonies are in bloom, many people come here to visit. In spring, there are also many photographers who go there to take pictures of ice flowers. It is truly the back garden of Benxi!”
E11***52:“The environment is nice, a natural oxygen bar. When you go there, you can take a sightseeing bus up and then walk down for a total of 9 kilometers. However, the scenery of these 9 kilometers is basically the same, lacking interaction, and it is a bit boring to walk down. The road is basically flat, not uphill or downhill.”

M58***94:“The scenery at the scenic area: The air was crisp after the rain, a sea of green, and the maple leaves on the mountain were quietly turning red.
Enjoyments: There were many activities, but there were almost no signage. We took a lot of detours. The sightseeing bus charges a one-way fee, and you had to buy a new ticket after getting off. The line for the airship was long and not very interesting. The boat only boarded at pier 1 and disembarked at pier 2. 🚢 From the upper deck, you could stand by the fence to enjoy the scenery; sitting down, your view was blocked and you couldn't see anything. You had to row the bamboo raft yourself, which was a pleasant experience. The smell of the airplane was strange. The high-altitude glass rafting was fun, a bit thrilling, with many twists and turns, and a moderate incline. The flying magic carpet ascended slowly, and the rainbow slide descended quickly, which was very exciting. I didn't see the 9D because I didn't plan my route well.
Hike Experience: The slopes were not very steep until the Savage Valley, so it was easy. Then the winding mountain road was very steep. The climb to the top was very refreshing.”
