Anonymous user:“I highly recommend Group 108, especially our guide, Xiao Tan. She's kind and friendly, and she explained everything throughout the trip, and she worked very hard. It was a completely "pure play tour" tour, with no hidden costs! The guide was super awesome, and her explanations of the attractions were incredibly detailed, making every one of them a perfect check-in. On the way back, she even explained other Guizhou attractions and delicacies in detail, saving us from any disappointments!”

M58***27:“The view of the Gold Coast from the 77th floor is truly beautiful! It's just so crowded, like dumplings being dropped into a stream. I happened to see a rainbow, which is even more beautiful than what I could see. It's so big and round, and the reflections from the glass are amazing. If I were at the beach, it would have been even more beautiful.”

Avrilmaeee:“If you’re an adrenaline junkie like me, Warner Bros. Movie World is a dream! The Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster stole my heart—dark, thrilling, and packed with surprises that had me laughing and screaming all at once. The whole park blends movie magic with epic rides, making it the perfect spot for thrill-seekers and film fans alike. Arrive early, wear comfy shoes, and ride Scooby twice—it’s that good!”

Anonymous user:“Note that unlike in China, the park's business hours are generally open at 10 a.m. and close at 5 p.m., and the food and beverages (burgers, pizza, etc.) in the park are usually closed before 4 p.m. This means you don't have to get up early in the morning (if you live in Surfers Paradise, the bus takes less than half an hour). It was a relaxing and enjoyable stroll with the kids, and the most amazing thing was seeing a lot of giant manta rays. The kids loved being able to touch them.”

Farms and pastures
Open tomorrow at 10:00-15:30
iQOO🐮:“Paradise Farm is a treasure trove for experiencing the Australian countryside! As soon as you enter the farm, you can smell the natural scent of hay and soil. The fluffy sheep, cute kangaroos and emus are wandering on the grass, which is very immersive. The most important thing you can't miss is the wool shearing performance! The farm workers skillfully "transform" the sheep. After the fluffy thick hair is shed, the sheep instantly becomes "skinny". You can also touch the wool on the spot, which is soft and healing. There is also a sheepdog show, where the dogs flexibly shuttle among the sheep, which is super smart! By the way, you can also feed the kangaroos by hand. They look super cute holding the feed bags. Remember to touch their backs gently. There is also a traditional Billy Tea brewing performance in the farm. Tea is boiled on the campfire with a tin kettle and paired with Australian toast. One bite is the authentic country taste. If you want to take photos, put on the cowboy clothes provided by the farm, stand in front of the red barn, and take photos that look like a western movie in minutes. It is a great place to immerse yourself in the Australian farming and pastoral life.”
