Tai'erzhuang National Day|This family travel guide is super worry-free

Praised by Emperor Qianlong as the "Number One Village Under Heaven," Tai'erzhuang combines the grandeur of the North with the gentle elegance of the South. 🔥Visiting Tai'erzhuang Ancient City during National Day is definitely worth experiencing [smirk] 🚗 Self-driving: You can navigate to Kangcheng West Parking Lot of Tai'erzhuang Ancient City, located near Shangri-La Kangcheng Community on the north bank of the Grand Canal. After parking, enter the park from the South Gate of Huidiji. (Less crowded and easy parking) 🚌 Public Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Zaozhuang High-Speed Railway Station, then take the BRT rapid bus B10 to Tai'erzhuang Ancient City Tourist Service Center; 🚞 Take the train to Zaozhuang West Railway Station, then take the BRT rapid bus B1 to Zaozhuang Passenger Transport Center, and transfer to B2 to Tai'erzhuang Ancient City Tourist Service Center. ✔️ Self-driving or taxi is recommended 🚗, the bus is a bit slow. 🔥 Hotel choice for National Day: ⚠️ Staying inside the scenic area is the first choice. A friend who visited before recommended the Sky City Hotel near the South Gate. The Fire Dragon Steel Flower show is right at the hotel entrance during National Day, and you can also watch the iron flower performance from the room, which is very nice. The rooms are very clean, and the staff helped plan the itinerary smoothly. I personally like it here. The lakeside opposite the hotel is very quiet, and the night view is beautiful~Highly recommended. 🎟️ Ticket Information: Regular ticket: ¥118 Discount ticket: ¥40 (for Linyi, Xuzhou, Heze, Jining, Zaozhuang areas) Free ticket: For those over 60 years old, under 1.4 meters tall, and retired military personnel Tai'erzhuang Cuisine: Top 1. Authentic spicy chicken from Zaozhuang (recommended Huajiadi Art Restaurant) Top 2. Huanghua beef noodles (Huimei Old Street) Top 3. Spicy Grand Canal carp 🐟 Top 4. Duck egg with mung bean jelly 📝 Travel Tips: There are many performances during National Day, so don’t blindly follow a random plan. Rest at the hotel anytime to fully enjoy the ancient city. 🔥 Must-try activities: The night tour on a rowboat is a special feature of Tai'erzhuang Ancient City. Accompanied by the boatman’s folk songs, the boat glides on the river, very romantic; The iron flower show at Fuxing Square starts every night at 9:00 PM. The iron sparks look like the Milky Way, very spectacular; The City Tower light show is also a must-see, where buildings turn into canvases and light and shadow tell the story of the ancient city. 🔥 Special venue visits: You can visit Guanyin Hall, Deputy General’s Office, Cuiping Academy, Tianhou Palace, Grand Canal Signboard Museum, Grand Canal Memorial Exhibition Hall, and the Tai'erzhuang Battle Site Park to experience the historical and cultural heritage of the ancient city. 🌸 Live performances: For example, "Qianlong Touring Tai'erzhuang" is performed at 10:00 AM at Yu Family Wharf - Tianhou Palace, lasting 15 minutes, closed on Tuesdays. 💡 Notes: There are many tourists before National Day, so it is recommended to book hotels and tickets in advance. The ancient city is open 24 hours, but after 10:00 PM you can only enter through the East Gate. Vehicles are prohibited inside the ancient city. It is recommended to pack light and wear comfortable shoes. Bring your original ID card for easy access in and out of the ancient city. If you want to watch performances like the iron flower show, it is recommended to arrive early to secure a good spot (watching from the room is even better [smirk])
