Things to do in Yunan

We spent a whole day at Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, and the venue was bigger than I expected. The sea lion theater was the first surprise. It wasn't just about the animals performing actions; it was a small theater built with colorful cartoon boats and a castle. Trainers in red uniforms guided the animals from the poolside, and the sea lions came up from the water to interact with the audience, with explanations interspersed throughout. The kids were completely engrossed. We spent the most time at the penguin exhibit. Looking through a whole glass wall, the water surface featured simulated ice and snow rock formations, and the penguins swam incredibly fast underwater, weaving in and out of the glass. We could see their black backs and white bellies as they flipped over, just like in documentaries. There were also informational panels inside explaining the penguins' habitats and habits. The underwater viewing window in the large display tank was also stunning. The water was a vibrant turquoise, and looking up, you could see the ripples reflecting the light. The curved frame encircled the area, and standing in front of it, you felt a sense of quietude. The other fish tanks were well-lit, and the schools of fish swimming by created silhouettes. There are also outdoor exhibits for tortoises and giant tortoises. A large one lies on the grass, its shell's markings as clear as tree rings, next to old tree roots—it feels more vibrant than if you were looking through glass. A day's worth of activity is just right, and the indoor exhibits offer plenty of shade. It's recommended to check the schedule at the theater first to make sure you know your showtimes. Allow ample time for the penguin exhibit and the underwater display; don't rush.

The ecological environment is excellent, and the animals have ample living and activity areas. The tour itinerary is also quite good. There are many tourists, requiring a relatively long wait in line, but the staff are well-organized, friendly, and attentive. The downside is that the park opens at 9:30 AM, and after waiting in line for over 30 minutes, it gets very hot, and some animals become lethargic. In short, the wait for the mini-train and cable car is quite long, and it can be tiring.

Truly an international extravaganza. Acrobats, performers, animals were fantastic.diverse performers and interesting segments made the whole experience enjoyable. Splurge for the closer seats.

The incense is very popular. This is the first time I have seen such a large incense coil. I like the smell of incense in the temple! Ringing the bell and beating the drum are free. The staff at the ticket gate will help keep the luggage. It is very suitable to bring parents around. ...

When visiting Guilin, a must-see is Elephant Trunk Hill, the city's iconic landmark. It truly lives up to its reputation as the face of Guilin's landscape; only by seeing it in person can one truly appreciate the wonders of nature. The entire mountain sits on the banks of the Li River, resembling a giant elephant bowing to drink from the water. The Water Moon Cave cuts through the mountain, its reflection shimmering in the water, creating the famous Elephant Trunk Hill and Water Moon spectacle—a flowing ink painting. The scenic area is clean and comfortable, with walking paths built along the Li River, shaded by lush trees, making for a delightful stroll. You can climb the mountain for panoramic views of Guilin, or find classic vantage points along the riverbank to capture stunning, atmospheric photos. Boat trips are also available, offering a different and breathtaking perspective of Elephant Trunk Hill from the river. The scenic area is conveniently located in the city center, with excellent transportation and comprehensive facilities. Every step reveals a new vista, allowing you to truly experience the unparalleled beauty of Guilin's landscape. Don't miss it when traveling to Guilin; it's definitely worth a visit.

The overall scenery is average, and admission is free for locals. Entering from the north gate reveals the newly built Dragon Mother Temple. It's recommended to enter from the southwest gate to see the old temple, which is more popular with worshippers. The path to the Dragon Mother statue is entirely up to steps, which might be a bit strenuous for those with mobility issues; if you walk quickly, you can complete the tour in about an hour.

The Canton Tower I visited so far is a 4A scenic spot; next time I'll aim for a 5A one. Although the ticket price is a bit high, it would be a real shame to come to Guangzhou and not visit this landmark tower. On a clear day, the panoramic view of the entire city from the tower is breathtaking. I visited during the day this time, but I imagine it would be equally beautiful at night.

Great trip. We didn't bother with the pick up or lunch. The didi was faster and cheap

The Jingjiang Prince's Palace in Guilin, Guangxi, was once the royal city of Zhu Shouqian, the Prince of Jingjiang. Climbing to the top of Duxiu Peak, known as the "Pillar of the South," one can overlook the entire city of Guilin. Below the peak are numerous cliff carvings, including the original inscription "Guilin's scenery is the best under heaven."

I'd heard about Window of the World in Shenzhen for a long time and dreamed of visiting it, and this time I finally got to check it out! 🌍 The park features miniature replicas of famous landmarks from around the world, including the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, and the Pyramids. Walking through it feels like a short trip around the world, and the photos turn out beautifully. During the day, you can leisurely stroll around, appreciating the architectural features of different regions and experiencing diverse cultures. As night falls and the lights come on, the entire park exudes a vibrant atmosphere. The Eiffel Tower light show is dazzling and breathtaking, and there are also exciting parades and stage performances. As a long-established classic landmark in Shenzhen, although it's a miniature landscape, its creativity and atmosphere are its greatest strengths. Walking around, stopping to immerse myself in the romance of crossing mountains and sea, fulfilling a long-held wish—it was a truly worthwhile experience.
