[2025 Sheyang ] Travel Guide for Andersen's Fairy Tale Park (Updated Aug)

"Poetic Jiangsu, More Beautiful with You" Whenever I travel with my kids, I always head south for fun destinations. Surprisingly, this time in Yancheng, Jiangsu, I unexpectedly discovered the hidden treasure of Sheyang. 🍀 Few crowds, low costs, perfect for family outings—avoid the masses and enjoy a full-score vacation experience. 👉 Here's how we arranged our 2-day, 1-night trip: Day 1: Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tale Park — Qianhe Lake Hotel Day 2: Qianhe Lake Park — Riyuedao Health & Wellness Resort ～ 🍄 Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tale Park A real-life fairy tale world! I absolutely loved it here! Especially the centerpiece castle in the park—it's incredibly photogenic! Make sure to stay for the evening when the castle lights up—it's simply magical, comparable to Disney! There's also a laser show to enjoy. The park isn't too large overall; my little one, just over 1 meter tall, got to experience seven or eight attractions. With fewer crowds, you can easily revisit favorites. The Frog Jump ride is perfect for kids as short as 1 meter—we rode it twice in a row, screaming with delight! Rumor has it there will be performances in August!

🔥If you want to avoid the crowds at popular attractions during the Lunar New Year holiday, take your kids to Andersen Fairy Tale Park in Sheyang. I thought it would be an ordinary day trip, but it turned out to be a blast! Both my child and I had a great time! Whether you're traveling with family, on a date, or looking for Instagram-worthy spots, this place has something for everyone. 🎫Getting Ready Buy tickets in advance on the official account or major travel platforms to save money. Remember to bring your ID card for quick and convenient verification when entering the park. 🎢Attractions As soon as we entered the park, my child was drawn to the colorful Egg Party area. The adorable egg-shaped characters are perfect for photos. There are also various egg-themed interactive games, like the "Egg Shooting Challenge," where kids can play with other children, exercise, and make new friends. 🍄The parade is a highlight of the park! In the afternoon, lively music plays, and beautifully decorated floats slowly make their way through the park. Performers in stunning costumes interact with visitors and throw small gifts. My child was so excited that they followed the parade, eyes wide with wonder. I was also caught up in the festive atmosphere and couldn't resist taking lots of photos. 🎭Amazing Performances 💫The balloon magic show was truly impressive! The magician skillfully transformed ordinary balloons into various animals and flowers, leaving the children in awe. My child was captivated and later asked me if the magician had real magic. 📸The fairy tale stage play brought Andersen's classic stories to life. The immersive stage effects of "The Little Mermaid" made us feel like we were on an underwater fairy tale journey. The dramatic plot allowed children to follow the mermaid princess into a world of fairy tales, learning about love, courage, and the balance of giving and receiving. 🍔Food Market When you're tired, visit the food market, a paradise for foodies. There are a variety of delicious snacks, like crispy and tender stinky tofu and sweet cotton candy that kids love. I tried the local grilled skewers, which were delicious. Enjoying the food while taking in the park's beautiful scenery was a real treat. 💡Tips ✅Plan your route in advance and grab a schedule at the entrance to check the times of various attractions and performances. This will help you plan your day and avoid missing out on exciting activities. ✅Parents with children can bring snacks and water. There are many restaurants and shops in the park, but they can get crowded, so it's good to have a backup plan. ✅For photos, the morning light is great for outdoor shots, while the evening lights around the castle create a magical atmosphere. 😍If you're looking for a fun and exciting family trip during the Lunar New Year, this is the perfect choice!

In Sheyang, Yancheng, there is a fairy tale castle called Sheyang Andersen Fairy Tale Park. This May Day, the park invited several good-looking "NPCs" to meet with tourists. 💰Ticket price: If you come here on a normal weekend, it is quite cost-effective to bring your children to play here. The ticket is not expensive, CNY 115 for one adult and one child (children under 1.1 meters are free). ❤Recommended reason: The cartoon characters with the theme of Andersen's fairy tales in the park are cute, which children like and are good for taking photos. The whole park is not very big, mainly divided into four areas: The Ugly Duckling Dreamland, which mainly has bumper cars, roller coasters, and water parks. When there are not many people, many projects in the park are enough for children to play for most of the day. 🌟Highlights: The Emperor's New Clothes Castle: This area is great for taking photos, whether during the day or at dusk. It is also beautiful when the lights are on at night, and there are fireworks shows on holidays. Thumbelina Jungle: The spiral jungle design allows you to enjoy the whole view of the park. It is mainly equipped with non-powered facilities, such as the Ugly Duckling trampoline, a large tree house with a huge climbing slide, a fairy tale corridor, a maze, etc. There is also a "Thumbelina" talk show here. The Little Match Girl Ice and Snow Area: This area has a wish tower, a carousel, flying elephants, a pet house, rafting, etc., as well as an Andersen museum. The light and shadow show in the Dream Hall is very popular with children. There is also a cultural and creative ice cream in the park. After eating the ice cream, the children patiently waited in line for an hour to watch the Andersen version of "Soaring Over the Horizon" in the Fantasy Voyage Hall. The most popular project in Andersen Fairy Tale Park is water rafting, which is also the amusement project with the longest queue time on holidays. 🍽Dining recommendation: We had lunch at the Old Oak Tea Restaurant, where we ordered rice with toppings for CNY 30 each and an 8-inch pizza for CNY 48 each, which was quite cost-effective. There are many snacks in the park: chicken wings with rice, cold noodles, fried noodles, stinky tofu, fried yogurt, fried chicken, barbecue, ice cream (cultural and creative ice cream for CNY 15 each), etc., which are quite rich in variety. 📝Tips: It is not recommended to come here on holidays, as you have to wait in line for more than an hour for each project, including the carousel and bumper cars.
